Keys to victory tonight

[DarrinS]

1. Rebound (someone please box out Bonzi)
2. Tony Parker (you need more than one assist)
3. No uncontested layups by Bonzi or Artest
4. Ball movement (watch game 1)


If both teams bring their "A" game, the Spurs will prevail.

How about Manu showing up as Manu?
or Getting the ball to Tim Duncan early and often?

REBOUND. BONZI AVERGES MORE REBOUNDS TIM. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN. I am liking the activation of Sean Marks more and more.

The ball has to get in Manu's hands before Manu can be his old self. This can happen with better decision making by Tony, better overall ball movement, or getting some steals. By the way, I should add one more key to victory

TAKE CARE OF THE BALL !!!

Rebounds, rebounds, rebounds.

Granted the Kings are also shooting well. However, the Spurs absolutely MUST keep these guys off the glass at both ends, limit them to one shot and basically become the more aggressive team if they expect to win this series.

I'm pretty confident that the Spurs will win IF they score more points than the Kings.

manu had martin on him in 1 quarter and he played scared

[ducks]

Rebounds, rebounds, rebounds.


Amen bro.

[spur219]

Manu won't do much. He has Ron Artest on him who is a very pesky and agressive and very strong defender. Its up to the rest and especially Tony Parker to carry this team.

What needs to be done is play better transition defense and play the best defense that can be played which is deny the ball. Especially Bonzi Wells and Ron Artest. AND WILL SOMEONE BOX OUT!

[pache100]

WILL SOMEONE BOX OUT!

:tu

Also...will SOMEONE...ANYONE...please get a frickin' rebound from time to time? Just to break up the monotony? Hint: YOU CANNOT GET AN OFFENSIVE REBOUND IF YOU ARE STANDING UNDER THE BASKET ON THE OTHER END OF THE COURT BY THE TIME THE BALL FALLS! Please follow through!

[sa_butta]

How about transition Defense?

[Texas_Ranger]

Spurs will need very good defense if they want to win tonight.
I expect great defense on Bonzi and good offense by Manu.

GO SPURS GO !!!
