Last night was, perhaps, our best victory so far.
Tim and Tony rocked. Tim is playing awesome this season and Tony has stepped up his game in a major way.
I liked this game because it was a solid victory on the road against a team that made the playoffs last year and might make it again this year. Our defense was very good and we were focused.
If we play the Wizards like this, we will win.
Jamison and Arenas. Tough combination. I haven't watched them much this year, but from what people are saying they are playing good ball. They may be the best team we face on this road trip.
Too bad we have so many injuries. Tim and Tony will have to continue to shoulder the burden like they did last night. Manu will need to score at least 12-15 points, Bruce 8, Rasho/Nazr 10 pts, Horry 8-10, NVE 10, Tim and Tony 50. With our injuries (Manu less effective (less scoring), Finley and Barry), I am concerned about our offensive production.
The key matchup is Arenas - Parker, no? TP is motivated to show that he is faster than Arenas and the better player.
Sometimes it is hard for the Spurs to handle success. I think I might actually favor the Wizards tonight. We have the better talent, but with injuries, being on the road and the blowout last night and the fact that our new players are still getting to know everyone and the sets, I could see the Wizards winning this.
However, if we play like we are capable (like last night), then we should win.
It will be interesting.
