Well that was indeed an interresting 1st quarter from my perspective.
Going into this game my eyes were on limiting Guard Penetration from both our 1st and 2nd team, its going to tell just how well this bench plays without a guard stopper off the bench in Tony Allen against a good guard heavy team.
Pierce dosnt have the speed in his legs lately (as i see it) to guard a Brandon Roy, so Ray Allen will be key.
Bench vs Bench hasnt looked as bad as i could be, Blazers has a unique great producing bench but they havnt had an impact so far.
The last stretch was great though, we stopped guard penetration with Ray on Roy and collapsed the defense when aldridge got the ball down low, if we can keep that up we will win this game.
