PUNISHING YOUR OPPONENT FOR THEIR MISTAKES

Golden State forward David Lee didn’t have much good to say about the Spurs after watching them take apart his team earlier this week.  “They’re a very frustrating team to play,” Lee told the Associated Press.  “I don’t go out there feeling like they’re a better team than us.  For instance, when we play the Lakers we look at their size and say it’s going to be a tough game."

“I feel like we match up well with the Spurs.  I feel like they’re a beatable team, especially in this building.  And just the way they execute and the way they take advantage of any little mistake you make, it’s like a boring way to play but it’s so effective."

“There’s a reason why their record is what it is.” 

Credit Lee for knowing the difference between substance and sizzle – even if it isn’t always the most aesthetically pleasing kind of basketball.
