Is anyone there?

I couldn't sleep so here's some random post game thoughts as the realization settles in but before the disappointment hardens into anger.
Thanks everyone for a great season. We aren't going anywhere. We have a LOT to discuss starting with the fate of our coach and then looking at needed roster moves and before you know it its draft time and of course this summer we have the Olympics and then training camp will be on us. So stick around.

Diaw?
Was the shift to running things through Diaw too much? Couldn’t the “slightly less big 3” handle it?
Don’t know. Too worn out to care.

Surprised
to see Diaw kick as (again btw) and yet the other big 3 werent truly there. Well no matter now, lamenting is hopeless. Now I just want to see what this team is going to do to prepare for the next year.

Boris not able to shift on the fly
I thought that the late game turnovers were helped along by Diaw. He had been stationed at the low post all game, and when Steve had trouble moving the ball, it was like Boris forgot that he was the secondary ball handler, and should have come out to help.
Also, he got the ball down low once, and all of the sudden (although he was 5 feet from the basket and had smaller guys on him) chose to pass out to the Invisible Man.

Nash, Amare, Diaw, Giricek and Bell
If I remember correctly, they were manned-up against Parker, Ginobili and Duncan.
Diaw, Giricek and Bell were able to rotate and switch screens to cover Ginobili and Parker. Further, if Diaw was the subject of a PNR, then he was able to cover Duncan occassionally in the post. Amare played better-than-normal D on Duncan (but Timmeh was getting tired at this point). It was a strong defensive lineup with some good offensive players. However, I don’t know if it works without Parker and Duncan being tired and Ginobili being off his game. Like in love, timing is everything.
