Playoff games. 5/5

[jay_jay54]

Peja just left Genobili standing still

Would Pop please just put Bruce Bowen on Peja Stojakovic! Please! Bruce can take him out of the series. Nobody else on the Spurs can guard Peja.

Bruce can't stop Paul. He's making him work harder, he's not even limiting the man. Let Parker take him, Parker did a good job on Nash in the previous round. He's a solid defender.

I agree...where is the brillant coaching mind here(Pop)?

[skowbball1999]

Pop can't continue with these match ups. They make much less sense than they do against Phoenix. Paul is much quicker than Nash at this time of his career.

Maybe Pop will make the adjustment in the fourth..we will see

This game is over and this series is over if Popovich doesn't switch up his defensive matchups and his rotation.

Hate to say this,but are you sure Pop hasn't been taking a page or two out the Doc River's handbook of plays?****

[jay_jay54]

I never cared to much for Udoka's game,this season.I know he is a sub,but usually the Spurs get better than that.

I think if Pop makes the right adjustments now,its not to late to get back in this game...they are only 12 down.

I don't think the Spurs can manage it

Chris Paul is too good. Great closer. Watch him milk the clock in three-four mintues time. He's too quick, gets into the lane too easily, can get high percentage shots from too many different places including himself. So tough to stop when he has a lead.

Spurs will huff and puff but they won't make it.

I was doing a little wishful thinking.They are very well coached by Byron  Scott,knows exactly when to turn it on,and when to tone it down.Thats the sign of a winner.

[jay_jay54]

Even though the Spurs are 2 games down,means nothing with the Spurs.They have been in worst situations before,maybe not with this same group of guys,but Pop will regroup,and i expect to see a different Spurs team,from this point on.If not,Win or Go Home.

Scott has been fantastic, he is like his squad is, championship caliber.

[jay_jay54]

I think he should give Barry more playing time,during this series.I feel,they need more fire power from the 3,aganist this team.

In fact, they have not been in worse situations.  The last time the Spurs were down 2-0 in a series was 2001 in the Western Conference Finals and they got swept 4-0 by the Lakers.  I am sure it is more comforting to consider the Spurs on generic reputation, darn, those pesky facts get in the way.  The series still has a long way to go, and I can easily see it going 7, especially if the Spurs hold serve at home which they certainly are capable of doing.  But right now, the matchups look awful for the Spurs, and they are aging before our eyes.
