ROUND 1 DISCUSSION: (3) SAN ANTONIO vs (6) PHOENIX

[BurningHeart]

^ i said that from the start of this year that the run and gun system needs 3 consistent three point threats on the court at all times and adding hill took away from that

if we are to continue it we need to perhaps look at obtaining a SF who can shoot the 3, ie granger and work from there

Yep, my main concern was that we only had three real 3-pt shooters on the team as a whole (excluding Pike, because, well, he doesn't play)

It's reared it's ugly head.

Bottom line is, you can't just change the identity of the team halfway through the year. You wanted to deal? Do it in the offseason.

Not suprised about the win, and im not happy about it either.

We had nothing to loose, now the pressure has mounted.

We must perform next game, we must win, this way, the momentum shifts greatly in our favor.

Down but not out!

Absolutely true SDU. However I thought that Grant Hill might try his 3 range a little more. He was absolutely horrible at first, adjusting to the Suns style, much like when Bell first came here. Then Grant started to get better, but stopped taking many 3's at all. I was hoping he would take 3 a game, and that would make a big difference. Also in the series it seems a good lineup has been Nash, Bell or Barbosa, Girichek, Diaw, and Amare/Shaq. That really helps spreads things out, since Nash, Diaw and Shaq are great passes, able to swing it to the shooters.

Man, how amazing would Kyle Korver be on this team? Too bad we couldn't get him somehow, some way. He would have given us that third shooter.

Korver is a great shooter but he's a lazy defender. If our plan next year is to maintain the core and just make some minor additions we need a SG or a SF who can shoot the 3. Bell is aging and Barbosa is too unreliable. Maybe with the ATL pick we can get a consistent shooter. We don't need more size and we are not getting a good big with the #15 so maybe better go for a wing player.
