| Game This is it folkes. One hour to the biggest game of the season. Time to see what our team is made of.
With Ginobili out Parker will have to make up his offense and he will have to do it against the best defensive point in the league C.Billups.
You know they will switch Bowen over on Rip since that worked so well in the Finals and with Rip's sore back he may have trouble. So to me the keys are for Billups to stay on the floor as much as possible to neutralize PArker and take advantage of Parkers smaller size offensivly, Tay to step up offensivly against Finley and Sheed to keep Duncan busy.
Above all keep Netrovic, Mahomed, Marks and everyone else off the offensive glass. Spurs do not have anyone averaging over 2 offensive boards a game so lets keep it that way and limit their 2nd chance scoring opportunities. If there is one achillies heal thats it and we can lose this game by simply giving up more shot opportunities.
With that said I believe the team will step up with Ben Wallace leading the way having a huge game defensivly and on the boards.
