If its not deflected, you cannot pass the ball back.

I don't get this. There are no more games. Duncan and Parker should never see the bench.

This lineup from Pop needs to change.

Welp.. Looks like one of my keys to the game is about to go out the toilet, just as scrub Battier hits 2 threes.

Pops still thinks manu can carry the bench.

How much proof does he need?

One of Duncan or Parker needs to be out there at every minute.

Parker AND Duncan can't both be on the bench in a Game 7. I don't know what Popavich is thinking. Hopefully they'll be back in to start the 2nd quarter.

Both of them do. There is nothing to preserve them for.

Spurs do not look like the same offensive powerhouse they did in the regular season. They are not making the passes they need to make after drawing the double which is what I thought they did best. They almost look afraid to pass to the open man

There is. You want them fresh for the fourth quarter. Duncan was gassed at the end of the last game.

Maybe he is getting them their breaks now and will play them the entire 2nd half? Hopefully.

He'll probably be jumping from one fresh divorcée to another until he's at least 85 years old.

I have been asking myself the same question this entire series. Blair is an ideal matchup against Miami because of his strength and his rebounding. Splitter gives you nothing if they take away the pick and roll, which Miami has done in this series.

Battier never misses during big games, ****. You don't just need shooters, you need shooters who can show up in big games. Chalmers and Battier aren't about to win Sprite 3-point shooting contests, but I'd trust them to knock down big shots when it matters.

You have to preserve them for the 4th, but it may be over by then if you let that Heat lineup have its away against a second unit with no offensive threat in the game.

He can manage the rotations differently, but it doesn't look like he wants too.
