Game Blog: 2010 Playoffs Round 2 - Spurs vs. Suns, Game 3

[SAtown]

I'd imagine Manu to the bench, TP and Hill starting

[emanueldavidginobili]

i actually kind of miss manu coming off the bench and then ripping up

[EricB]

That's all I know. Got a text saying "parker starting" that was it.

I put 40$ on the Suns for tonight..that usually means the Spurs will win, since I often lose my bets against the Spurs, hopefully tonight is the same..

C'mon now, you can't bet against your own team!

I'm looking forward to this game more than game two now that we have all that political garbage out of the game. That took away a lot of the innocence and fun for me.

Hope the Spurs can take this. Well, they better take it! Coming back from a 3-0 deficit is damn near impossible.

Tony will start.

Confirmed.

[siraulo23]

Big 3 will start + RJ and Dice

[Shastafarian]

Pop HAS to work with his rotations. He can't keep putting a lineup of hill-bogans-jefferson-blair-bonner or the like out there.

Spurs’ Parker back in starting lineup for Game 3

Tony Parker has his starting job back.

The former All-Star returned to San Antonio’s starting lineup for Game 3 against Phoenix on Friday night after coming off the bench for the past month. Manu Ginobili joined him in the Spurs’ starting backcourt.

George Hill, who has started since January but has struggled against the Suns, was sent back to the bench.

Parker has averaged 23 points in two games against Phoenix. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said “it’s just time” and that Parker was eventually going to reclaim the starting job he lost after breaking his right hand in March.

With Tony and Manu starting, the Spurs will try to get out in front early and make the Suns play catchup.
