RE:Fortson
I would have liked to have seen Howard in there some last night, simply because Fin played such heavy minutes, and, perhaps not coincidentally, by the end of the game he was useless offensively. That said, he did a good job defensively last night pretty much regardless of who he was on, so he deserves credit for that.
As for who was guarding who, I saw Fin and Nash switching up on Parker and Ginobili throughout the night, and I feel justified in saying that both guys did a nice job. It was at the end of the game that Nash really impressed me, though. He was singled up on Parker and pretty much shut his penetration attempts down. With Parker's first step, to me one of the quickest in the league, that was a truly laudable effort.
Wait a second, isn't this a Fortson thread...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
