*grumble*
-Fisher's overall contributions to the team have been overlooked by fans and HS contributors alike. After all, he has 4 rebounds and 3 assists...
In the series thus far.
-Stephen A. Smith's halftime analysis:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-Mark Jackson: "Whatever Deron's taking, I want two of them."
UncleofIze shrugs, walks over, gives Jackson two anti-nausea pills.
-Memo gets the ball right under the basket, goes up, is stuffed by Duncan. Yeliz might need to put him on Suicide Watch tonight. Actually, that would require Okur to care about his performance.
-Bowen just took Andrei Kirilenko off the dribble and hit a hook shot over him. Masha needs to extend her Suicide Watch for another month or so.
-JVG is hammering on the team for its unnecessary help on San Antonio's drives. He might make a pretty good coach. If he got a team with a good center and an athletic swingman, he could go deep in the playoffs.
Unless that swingman was Tracy McGrady, poor bastard.
-Okur finally hit a money shot. That should take care of all that pent-up...uh...frustration.
-I like this play where Deron crosses halfcourt, passes to AK, lets him dribble in the same spot for 4 seconds, then receives the ball again. Highly effective.
-The three officials converge to discuss a call and are quickly joined by Tim Duncan, the fourth ref. Maybe that should be his nickname, the Ref.
-AK gets the ball fairly open under the basket, and as he goes up, it shoots out of his hands like a bar of soap. At this point, I think the laws of physics are conspiring against his offense.
-I'm not entirely sure on this point, but it would seem one of the elements they teach you in "Veteran Leadership Class" is that you can't lift your pivot foot. I guess Fisher took the Accelerated Course.
-I love this commercial with the guys watching the golf game on the couch, if just for the final scene where a player on TV drives and the three yell and high-five each other. I know when I watch golf, it is an intense emotional journey for me and my friends. Usually, by the time the player is putting, we're all in each others' arms, wiping the tears from our comrades' faces and collapsing in exhaustion.
-Whoa, what a block by Boozer. He just learned the True Meaning of Defense.
-I will repeat something The Pearl/Capt. Sig once said: "Do you ever see anyone say, 'that was a great double-down into the post?'"
-There's something hilarious about hearing Mark Jackson praise a guy for playing solid defense. If he starts talking about leaders holding the team together, I might hurt myself.
-Jazz have cut the game to 3 with a few minutes to play in the quarter. Time to bring in the Closer: Matt Harpring. The Closer. On TNT.
Closer.
-Someone should probably tell Harpring that "help defense" means something different from "leave man and walk into the vicinity of man with the ball." I think he's getting the "help" part, but the "defense" part is confusing him.
It's the football background.
-That's twice Deron has explained to a player how they screwed up a pass after a turnover. Team leader in turnovers: Deron.
-Harpring with the rebound, passes it to a cutting Tony Parker. Have to admit, for a Harpring pass, it looked nice.
-Best news of the night: I'm turning things over to Pearl/Sig for the fourth quarter.
