This was an impressive one. Tony Parker was well contained the entire night and Lebron was going off. He had some of the most acrobatic finishes of his career tonight, and that dunk on Duncan is the stuff avatars are made of.
I'm beginning to really like the backcourt of Snow and Hughes. Sure, Snow gives us next to nothing on O (I contend that he doesn't turn it over, can finish at the basket when he gets there, and can at least run the offense and break) but the combo of Snow and Hughes is HUGE defensively. The rotations were just on tonight, didn't give the Spurs a chance to spot up. No one looks lost out there. This is a far cry from the Silas days of "how do you defend the pick and roll?"
The best thing I saw tonight though was adjustments by the coaching staff. Down the stretch, Duncan was destorying us, we tried switching defenders like 3 times and eventually found a quick double as a way of at least getting the ball out of Duncan's hands and making other guys beat us. Z did a good job on Duncan till he got into foul trouble there at the end.
Free throws were bad, but the Spurs were worse. Maybe its the new balls? (Then again, the Spurs are a poor free throw team to begin with)
