Marvin and Carroll struggled shooting last night but they played hard and played very good defense. Sometimes your shot is going down but you can do other things.
I can't believe people are complaining about the shot selection. It went in who cares about who shot the ball or what type of shot it was. You guys sound like soccer fans who whine about how a team wins a game. In the end a win is a win!!! I don't care if it is pretty or not!!!!
That's where the hate for Big Al comes in. We know the talent is there. We need to see that drive, and desire to take it to the best.
Tonight he did, and he looked like a damn All star out there. Clean up some of the lazy play on defense, and the sky would be the limit.
I think Big Al will always be one of those what if type players.

Jefferson played with heart tonight but he was nowhere near all star level. You can't be a center in the NBA and only pull down 4 rebounds and allow your man to pull down 20 rebounds. Duncan looked like an all star, Jefferson did not.

Yes, Jefferson had what might be considered the play of the game when he stole the ball and went in for a dunk but just because he does that a couple of times a season (I don't think it is even that often) doesn't mean he's an all star.
Our standard for all star is dropping dramatically in this forum.

Still feeling euphoric about last night's win. Spurs have had our number for so many years, it makes any victory extra sweet.
I love Demarre's D and energy, but he should not shoot as much nor should Ty put him a position to shoot so much. In the first half there were a couple of plays set up to have Demarre get a shot, even while Hayward was in the game. Come on Ty, that's not smart.
Love Hayward and his aggressiveness. If he can get the shot to drop a little more consistently (get some plays for him Tyrone), then he could be an all-star.
It was TIM DUNCAN. 2nd best PF ever. Good lord.
Whatever you do don't smile. The Jazz won and if you ever smile again the Jazz will never win again.

Millsap looked like more of an all star than Jefferson. And Hayward looked like the guy we want when we drafted him. Very excited about Gordons play last night. Marvin Williams was kinda dissapointing. Overall though...fantastic game, so glad I was there

Looking at the last play again, it looks like Hayward was going to set a pick, but stoped and disengaged before Mo could do anything. It kinda looked like he was forced into that shot by Hayward, and thinking about it, if he drives, he probably gets forced into a really bad shot, and the refs weren't going to call a foul at the last second of a tie game. Instead he was patient, gathered himself sized up the shot and drained a clutch shot.
what!! It's a joke. He laughed the reporters laughed, get over yourself

Watch the interviews on nba.com. They wanted a Mo iso. With 6.7 seconds left, they wanted to make sure they could get a shot that wasn't rushed. Mo took his time, created a little separation and stepped into his shot.
The thing about running a play in that time, what if the play gets the player an open shot, but 3 seconds are left? He makes a 2 pointer, then the Spurs come down a nail a 3 on us? You have to make sure you get the very last second shot, and the easiest way to do that is with an iso.
