Yep. This team goes as far as Tony will lead them. Hope he shows up for this one. Let's go!
It will all hinge on Tony Parker's health. Based on his PER, this is how I think the series will go:
25+ PER = Spurs in 4
22-25 PER = Spurs in 5
18-22 PER = Spurs in 6
15-18 PER = Spurs in 7
Lower than 15 PER = Lakers win

Spurs in 4....5 at the most
For the record, Parker's PER since his return from his ankle injury is 18.7. Prior to the injury, it was hovering around 25.
I'm optimistic. Spurs in a sweep.
What was his PER today?
Just to mention...Tim Duncan now has 139 double-doubles in the postseason. That's the most among active players.
Parker's PER for game 1 (slightly est) was 15.92.
Just ran the numbers. 15.92, so ~16. Just roughly looking at the numbers though that estimate is probably a little low, I'd say it should be 17-18.
Parker got outplayed by Blake.
tbh only an idiot would disagree. TD and Manu won the game
Blake made hobbled Tony look bad the way Sasha Vujecic made hobbled Manu look bad in 2008.
Bump...

Tony with a series PER > 28.5 in about 30 mpg.
Just as gratifying is that Manu's PER was in the same ballpark albeit at slightly less than 20 mpg...
Surprising was Blair's productivity in the spot minutes he played... 2nd amongst playoff performers...
Anyways... Great prediction! timvp...
Dwight Howard 38th in postseason PER![]()
Anderson & Blair are 1 & 2 in playoff PER. Shiiiiiiit. If this keeps up Spurs should offer Blair in a s&t to Hollinger this summer.
I thought Duncan would have a higher PER.
Seeing as PER is per minute, favours high value shooting and doesn't account for defense, It's not shocking that Blair was so good. He made a lot of shots in the time he played.
