Jazz VS Spurs @ 8:30 on Root Sports, ESPN 1280 AM/ 97.5 FM

i know it sometimes is affective and at other times isnt, but we might be able to do a little bit of paul at the 3 and fav at the 4 and then enes or al at the 5 tonight. spurs are a little slower and they play a solid half court offense almost all game. it might be a good move jsut to mix up the defence and offensive skeems to keep SAS on their toes.
thoughts?

Fixed.

Actually, I've been shocked at how consistent Sap has been next to Al. Nobody else in the league can say the same thing. You go from being set up by one of the league's best PGs, to the status quo. Phew. ****. Sap is a rock.

We need Carroll and Marvin's defense.

If Corbin had any stones, then he'd start Favors against Duncan and bring Jefferson off the bench. I'd rather Jefferson get abused by Manu-Splitter than Parker-Duncan.

Boris freaking Diaw works the Jazz. How does Corbin game plan to work him and Duncan both off the floor? Pound inside with Kanter then Big Al then Kanter then Big Al to get people in foul trouble?

The Spurs are a well-oiled machine, but no team is immune to this. Last year, I made impassioned calls for a game plan specifically designed to draw fouls and break Pop's substituting machine. Make him play combinations of players that aren't optimal. The only way to do this is to pound for the sake of drawing fouls and relentlessly screen their wings.
 
This is the biggest test we've had this season.

We've played well the past few games, but didn't face a team that was playing well.
We are at home, have Favors back, and should be feeling pretty good about ourselves.

Will we come back down to reality tonight? I sure hope not

Outside another excellent shooting game, this is really the only thing I see weakening the Spurs significantly. I would consider starting Kanter just to wear the hell out of Duncan, then bring in Jefferson to continue the punishment.

The problem as always will be controlling their transition offense from countering this and running away with the game before any benefit is gained. Spurs are too good at doubling and tripling down low and causing turnovers. I think my starting five would be Jefferson, Favors, JYD, Foye, Mo to balance defense and scoring, then flip Kanter in at the 9-10 minute mark if things are going well. Foye and Mo keep their D honest and open up the inside block. Let's see how KOC addressing this exact concern works out tonight.

I'm also looking for Tinsley to keep their 2nd unit on their heels. That guy is an unreal play maker this season.
