Udoka definitely should have played more IMO..Manu should have played the point a little more, only for defensive reasons..Bowen on Billups and Udoka on Prince..Duncan on Sheed and Horry on Dice/Maxiell..that would have been a good lineup IMO..not perfect, but it could have been better matchups-wise..
TD is right, we've said that too many times so far..at some point we have to start playing better..if we keep struggling, we're gonna have to start playing playoff-type basketball to get back on track..meaning Duncan takes a lot of shots, and Parker/Manu get more aggressive..same with the D..
at least we know we have the talent to play better..we have the best post player in the NBA..2 great scorers/creators..Barry, Finley(sometimes), Bonner, Udoka, Bowen, Horry are good shooters..we have defenders..a great coach..
it's strange to say for our team, since we're probably the smartest team in the NBA on the court..but better decisions are necessary..even from Pop..Parker and Ginobili need to cut down on some of the bad shots they take when they are missing..Finley NEEDS to stop shooting so many shots that he used to shoot in his prime..he's still a great set shooter, but he isn't so good off the dribble..Matt Bonner needs to get into the flow of the game, instead of jacking up shots..Duncan needs to change his style up sometimes against different opponents, and he NEEDS to be more aggressive and a little more selfish when the team is struggling..
most importantly, defensive adjustments..better D on the perimeter, and better rotations..
does anyone else think Oberto looks like he's regressed a little from last year?..
