Isitna, Marion je jedan od ključnih igrača ali je podbacio. U karijeri 10 sk. u prosjeku a jučer 6, Finley, Ginobili, Horry svi više od njega a znamo kakav je "Matrix" skakač. On to mora poduplat na barem 12 sk. ako Sunsi misle proć bez skoka nema brze kontre i dopuštaš Spursima drugu šansu koju neće propustit. Sunsi mogu igrat sa manjom postavom baš zbog Matrixa i Amarea (Jones samo 9 minuta jučer). I još par koševa više i nešto bolja obrana od njega je sve što Sunsima treba.

Thomas bi možda mogao početi u petorci da otpočetka stisne Duncana ali sumnjam, on je ionako nezaustavljiv a udvajanja kažnjava kao nitko drugi.

A Parkera neznam pa evo mišljenje profića:

Curiously, the Suns continued to go under virtually every S/R involving Tony Parker. They obviously believe Parker's outside shooting isn't very dependable, and by playing him so softly they're at least keeping him out of the lane.

It turned out Parker was able to hit his perimeter shots and zip to the hoop — to the tune of 14-for-22 and 32 big points. Unless Mike D'Antoni still thinks Parker's shot is unreliable, the Suns must double him in S/R situations. There's simply no other option.
