Definitely will see more of Parker and Ginobili later in the series. Especially after Lebron rebounds and brings the ball up himself. Lebron will probably have Duncan posterized a couple of times also. He already has one great picture... Duncan cant jump. Just cant let Lebron get up a head of steam early. Thats when he gets really tough.

Kinda of like trying to hit a good runningback behind the line of scrimmage.
I am still amazed. 6' 8" 240 lbs of pure athlete. As strong as any forward in the league and now attempting to become Kobe from the outside. The kid is really amazing. A physical freak. That muscular playing bball at his age.
I look back and feel sorry for T. Prince.

I found a huge finger nail biting flaw in his off court game.

Bowen gets away with bad defensive practices that we try to teach NOT to do, because he has such super quick feet and hands. The man can actually stay upright while playing defense.

I watched him flabbergasted telling my daughter you have got to get on the balls of your feet and maintain a good position, bend your damn knees and slide your feet quickly. Keep your hands quickly active, stay in front of your man, and then take taps at the ball. If you are in front of your man and jab at the ball, refs rarely call a rake. But if you are out of position and reach... forget it, you can make a clean pick and the refs knee jerk reaction is a foul.

And then she watches Bowen... I say forget him, he is special. I still am amazed. This guy, out of the prime of his physical career, can play the type of defense he does. For very long periods of time.

So yes. I love defense. Because it is infinitely more difficult and physically taxing than offense. Thats why I got such a kick out of AND ONE on ESPN. BABY, BABY, SPIDA... climbing the rims while no one defends him. BABY.

Let's hope the series is over in the shortest possible number of games.


Otherwsie do you know how long we will have to have this thread around!!?






I know.

I don't have to read it.

It's just there's soooo much material in here for future use!

such as what the hell is Drew Gooden thinking with that small patch of hair on the back of his head??
