  • SPURS STEPPING UP, PISTONS AREN't San Antonio Is Just Playing
    SPURS STEPPING UP, PISTONS AREN’T San Antonio is just playing its normal game, and the Pistons are not handling them. One of the characteristics of a championship team, especially in playoff situations, is that someone steps up big and hits double their usual average, as both Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry did yesterday. Horry made the sort of contribution he’s been making for years, playing strong defense, going for loose balls, disrupting the outlet pass. If Horry and Bowen as well as Manu Ginobili are hitting from outside, the Pistons are in trouble. The Spurs already have three strong scoring options in Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Ginobili, but when they add a fourth and fifth, how are you going to stop them? The Pistons have a reputation as a strong defensive team, but their individual defense has not seemed that good to me, because they’re not really taking the Spurs out of their game. The Spurs have spread their offense so they have open lanes to the basket and they have open shots from outside. They’ve been patient, they’ve made crisp passes and yesterday they didn’t allow themselves to be forced into turnovers. When a team has both its inside and outside games working, and they’re shutting you down at the other end of the court, you’re in trouble. The Pistons did a better job Sunday of creating movement and involving their big men in the offense, but they still aren’t doing two things I think they need to do in order to win: one, they have to make Tim Duncan guard Rasheed Wallace down low, and two, they have to get Ben Wallace going to the basket.

  • The Offensive Sets of the San Antonio Spurs, Nba
    FIBA EUROPE COACHES - OFFENSE THE OFFENSIVE SETS by Gregg Popovich OF THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS, NBA CHAMPIONS 2005 Gregg Popovich was an assistant coach of the San Antonio Spurs for four years, before he went to the Golden State Warriors in 1992 as an assistant coach. He was named general manager of the San Antonio Spurs in 1994 and became the head coach in 1996.
