Who is going to step up in Game #2?

[jason1301]

It has to be Tim Duncan, he needs to play similar to G#2 @ Dallas for us to have any chance. Its either him or RJ, I don't think Hill and/or any other bench player can deliver away from home.

thoughts?

U think?

Is Tim still able to be his dominating old self ? I'm not sure.
For one or two games in a serie at best. next game would be a nice choice for dominating for Tim.

Manu will show up 100% guarantee. It's no guarantee he'll shoot exceptionally well, but he will impact the game, no doubt.
Duncan and Parker obviously NEED to, and hopefully Pop puts Parker in good position to do so by starting him.

Hopefully Dice can hit some jumpers and Hill plays aggressive. It all comes down to aggression for guys that need to have bigger impacts, i.e. Jefferson + Hill. You can't always control how your jumper falls on every given night, but if you play aggressively on offense and alert on defense, you will help your team.

Am I the only one who would respond NO, even years back? He's simply too unathletic and old at this point to consistently be a monster. Sure he'll get his rebounds and play defense every game but his offense is not reliable. If he isn't banking a shot from that 45 degree angle, he's taking an off balance retarded looking shot that seems like can only logically roll in with luck anymore.

he's facing one of the poorest defensive opposition he'll ever get in the PO right now in the low post. If he can't dominate now, he'll never do it again. even if he clearly knows how to contribute in many others ways, Tim needs to score from low post moves.

Blair needs to play way more than what he did

[objective]

whoever that player is, I think we can all be confident that it won't be Matt Bonner or Roger Mason

As long as they don't put him on Amare. But in this series I agree he needs more time for his hustle and rebounding. I want to see a Dice, Blair, Duncan rotation with minimal Bonner.

[the crimson blur]

George Hill. With the lashing the media gave him after his performance tonight (I love how the kid from IUPUI has all this responsibility now and not the guy we are paying 12 mill lol), you might as well book it. Kids too tough to not step up.

Eh, he was terrible tonight. Even worse than Bonner somehow.

[Mal]

Doesnt matter who, I only hope that it wont be Nash again

[timtonymanu]

Well everybody does. From Tim all the way to Mason handing out the gatorade everybody's gotta step up.

[tuncaboylu]

Wait for RJ.

[Bukefal]

They all need to step up. TP looked pretty good, he played like he used to, I hope he does it again. The whole team needs to and get some motivation.

Really went out on a limb there...:lol

It really doesnt matter who it is after the big 3, just need that 4th scorer...but if I had to guess I would say George Hill needs to step up and have a good game. Within the big three hopefully Parker and Ginobili continue to play well. Duncan needs to be more aggressive and I think he well rebound from game 1.

[MateoNeygro]

Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[in2deep]

everyone is gonna go all out in game 2. Do or die.

I expect Dyess to be the heart of the team.
