That is not at all what I was preaching.
I never preached trash-talking or inflicting cheap shots.
The Spurs keep trying to out-finesse the Hornets. That is the Hornets game not the Spurs.
It is silly for the Spurs to be driving the lane against this quick team. The pick and roll defender is able to get back too fast. Shot blockers turn the fast break the other way.
They need to grind it out instead on both sides. Milk the shot clock by mind-numbing Charles Barkley type post up dribbling.
Let the game descend into a 75-65 type of crawling pace.
There is a fine line between thuggery and playing it tough & physical to get into a SLOW SLOW half-court game.
There is absolutely nothing wrong by pounding on Chris Paul to see if he can keep his focus. It helps slow the game down even further.
Already there are signs that West & Paul are close to losing their cool.
Why shouldn't the Spurs take advantage of strength, depth ,and size?
