4-0 ... we play consistent defense in the playoffs


We're not the same team from last year. Actually, last year we played consistent defense even during the regular season already. Do you think Harrell and Gasol are gonna turn into shotblocking machines in the playoffs all of a sudden?

No, but AD will. How many block shots did Dwight and McGee have in the playoffs?


Don't need to block shots. It's the threat of blocking shots that deter teams from driving is what made our defense so good.

If Dwight and McGee didn’t play in the playoffs, then so will trez and gasol. Lakers have ton of options.

Too much cruise control from the tip
, Spurs came out hungry to not get swept again for the season series.

Never sleep on Popovich he definitely had some bulletin board points that lit a fire on they ass


I don't know what it is, but this has been the norm this year and really the only thing we have done with consistency, which isn;t really a good thing.

Don't need to block shots. It's the threat of blocking shots that deter teams from driving is what made our defense so good.


and besides that it was the lack of perimeter defense that killed us tonite


Like I've said before, good rim protection allows your perimeter defenders to be more aggressive at closing out three point shooters which leads to better perimeter defense. It all starts with the shotblockers.

Bad habits bit them in the ass tonight.

Coaching staff can use this game for a video session of basically all the (bleep) play they have gotten away with this season.

Wish we hadn't let go of all that size and defense but didn't replace it. We are a small team!! Spurs exploited that yet couldn't do that with us last year because we had too much size.
