what drives me nuts about Fran's teams...are the fundamental errors. Getting caught underneath with nowhere to go.... not blocking out...hurried, or forced bad shots... weak rebounding... basic stuff. (I left out, the inability to get a good end-of-game shot out of a timeout)
Sparty has athletes and you gotta love the ball movement. I wish we had one guy that could beat guys off the dribble and go to the hole strong. They have several.
Quality comment by Dakich (sp) about how much basic defensive fundamentals need to be taught at this level because they either haven't had to play defense before or they got by on incredible athleticism
