Does anyone else feel like he hits 75 of his 3s? It seems like he gets more open shots on the perimeter than anyone, and he knocks them down. Most big defenders are slow getting out, leaving him a steady stream of clean looks. Plus, when the defenders do come out, it leaves the middle open and drags out a key defensive rebounder. What an underrated weapon.Jeff Dritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931073490721414384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450263.post-1809349392107307242007-05-08T18:51:00.000-05:002007-05-08T18:51:00.000-05:00I wish I could see the Spurs as vulnerable, but be...I wish I could see the Spurs as vulnerable, but between the anti-aging cream they are obviously rubbing all over Horry and Finley, the favorable officiating (I'm still trying to figure out WHY), the continued emergence of Parker, and Duncan's second wind, I don't know that anyone can beat them. <BR/><BR/>That said, Utah appears to be the team that matches up the best. Now that AK-47 has somehow pulled out of his tailspin, they have the ideal help defender to put on Bowen and then use to flank Duncan and protect the rim (Phoenix should use Marion this way). Boozer is Nene to the second power, so I think he can give Duncan fits, especially on the offensive end (provided the refs will ever call a foul on TD - sorry to harp on this, but it is true). The Kingpin is obviously anyone's equal right now at the point. Okur is tall enough to get his threes regardless of San Antonio's efforts to guard the line. Plus, Utah has depth. I really, really like them matching up with the Spurs.Adam Hoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575786328320517798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450263.post-11991143858273443982007-05-08T16:58:00.000-05:002007-05-08T16:58:00.000-05:00Many thanks, just threw up your link as well. btw,...Many thanks, just threw up your link as well. <BR/><BR/>btw, San Antonio is vulnerable.
