scal was wide open ray

The C's have a real chance to blow this game out now but not with this lineup!  No flow to the offense at all.  Two more offensive rebounds for the Spurs the game has gotten really ugly here

ray dime from scal!!

More three pointers when they have an obvious advantage down low.

Thank you reggie, me too. What is Sheed doing shooting three pointers when he has about a 7 inch advantage over blair.

He doesn't have a strength advantage though. We've seen BBD play plenty of taller player's tough in the post, Blair could easily do the same.

I've liked Rasheed's play so far this game.

Wow, Ginobili with great D and Ray just sticks it anyway.  Nice shot.

Still playing well, but we must keep a body on Blair..

I'm ok with him so far too, but TNT guys are right: Sheed's not mixing up his game more partly because he's not in great shape yet.  I think he's playing himself into it though.

Yeah I'm not a fan of this lineup.  I'm still not clear on why Scal is out there.

Yeah it's kinda disappointing how clearly out of shape Sheed is.  It's a testament to his raw ability that he can still play as well as he does while being so out of shape.

Because Scal matches up better with Matt Bonner than Shelden, that's my guess.

Blair isn't Glen Davis defensively. Blair is a poor-to-very poor defender.

[Thruthelookingglass]

I don't understand...is there a reason Scal is playing so much already?  Which matchup are we trying to take advantage of?

I'm still puzzled myself, but I think Doc puts Scal in there to remind the team to focus on team play.  It's a little easier to figure out where Scal will be at any point in time.
