Barnes has 6 of their 8 makes from 3. Without him they are 2-5.

Listen if the Spurs get to have a crazy good 3 point shooting the first half, can we get that luck the second half?
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Paolo’s defense is pissing me off. He’s literally standing around watching guys attack the rim in front of him and letting rebounds become loose balls.

Leading by 1 when they’re 8/15 from 3PT is probably a good sign, right?

Yup, that play that led to a Goga goaltend on Vassell was inexcusable. Paolo stood there and watched the entire thing.

He defers too much and just runs to a corner. That’s fine now and then but he needs to man-up and be aggressive all the time.

Paolo's finishing at the rim is diabolical for his size
