I usually don't do halftime posts, but I needed to get something other than the horrible Eagles news atop this blog ASAP.
Four things I absolutely loved about that first half:
- Mo's rotations - He sat down Iguodala and Brand with a couple of minutes left in the first, brought in Lou Williams (to play alongside Miller) and Speights. Then he brought Brand and Iggy back to start the second with 3 bench players. Much better balance, and that unit held the 10-point advantage.
- Sammy - Dalembert has been playing out of his mind. 6 points, 12 boards, 2 blocks and a couple of great hustle plays in the first half. He's out-played Biedrins so far.
- EB finding his touch - 7/14 from the floor for 17 to go along with 7 boards and 2 assists.
- Busting the zone- Golden State went to the zone late in the second quarter. Iguodala hit back-to-back threes and then Thad hit two more.
57-39 at the half, let's see the same effort over the final 24.
I was just following the play by play online... was the Miller 3 a last second 3 at the end of the clock or did he just shoot it?
He just shot it, again.
Haha thats too funny. I guess if people are going to dare him to take it... he will.
Dei Lynam interviewed him after the game. He basically said, "If they're going to leave me wide open, I'm gonna have to take it. That's why you have practice and repetitions." He also said, "It's always going to be an ugly game when you play Golden State."
