Monday night in Miami was the second game of the pre-season, but the first game with most of the Spurs’ “regulars”… and a first look at the new starting line-up.
It did not disappoint. The first thing you notice is that not much looks all that different. The ball is still moving around, rarely sticking. For all the consternation about LaMarcus and his tendency to “ball stop”, he fit in near seamlessly. Unlike the first game in Sacramento, he seemed much more comfortable and fluid in the offense. He got several easy baskets off of ball and player movement, and even more wide-open shots that you want him getting and taking.
