definitely..Parker usually extends leads for us off the breaks, which is also another reason we've been stuck at 6-8 point leads, but let the other team get back in it..we can stop the other team, but struggle to score..
Parker is definitely going to change the team..even Barry is going to be a significant difference, because he's our best 3-point shooter..it's nice to see Finley playing well, and if Damon and Ime start making them consistently, we shouldn't have many problems..
the C is still the concern position..

Heh, Ballings was only off on his prediction by one point...
This was a good game; Calderon had to score too much, which is not his game even though he did it well and the Raptors as a whole did well in the second half in the first half.
Second Q, you guys beat us by 9 points... Manu hit a couple of threes and a long jumper, Finley hit some shots... and that damned illegal defense free throw. We let Jacque Vaughn score on us... actually, he had a couple of buckets and an assist, he looked decent that quarter. Tim Duncan didn't do a lot that was obvious but he had a bucket and an assist and facilitated a lot with swing passes and screens and stuff.
Also, we got totally mugged on the glass, you guys were +12, which was embarassing. Moon, Bosh and Delfino (with 8 boards each) accounted for about 71% of our rebounds. No one else had more than 3. Our passing game was off, we had fewer FTAs than our season average because we were playing a bit passively on account of Duncan.
I was kind of sour we didn't use Kapono a bit more against you guys, especially since he's the "LEAGUE'S BEST THREE-POINT SHOOTER!"
Ah well, it's the Spurs; we didn't really expect to win this one anyhow.
