Interesting pre-game site: Terry Porter interviewing a former coach, Gregg Popovich, for Blazers TV.

I really hope the Spurs learned from the last match up..double Aldridge, don't overplay Andre Miller on the p&r..they had absolutely no strategy against Aldridge in the last matchup, all his shots were open and putbacks/layups..

It's going to be a tough match up either way, Portland is obviously a good team, no Duncan, and the refs are probably going to be ty(they usually are when it's @ Portland)..

Hopefully Splitter plays well against Aldridge, although I expect him to pick up some ty calls early on in the game..

[duncan228]

In last 10 meetings vs. Portland, Spurs averaging 88.9 ppg. Haven't topped 100 since a 100-79 win on Dec. 2, 2007.


Worth noting: Blazers haven't topped 100 points vs. Spurs in past six meetings, either.

Pop: "We've had a real tough time against their length. Our pace is going to have to be such that we get a few easy buckets."

And if not? "We better play better defense than we’ve been playing," Pop says.

[duncan228]

So who guards LaMarcus Aldridge, Pop? "Tiago Splitter, the Brazilian Flash. He’s going to hold him to six or eight points, I think."

Ex Spur Frank Brickowski in the Rose Garden tonight. No sign of his one-time running buddy, Charlie Sheen

@ Pop. I agree the Spurs will have to play and uptempo game, and maybe even gamble a bit on defense, because on on one against Aldridge isn't going to work. He will torch whoever is guarding him.

Blazers call.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nice put in by Tiago!

[Thomas82]

So far, so good with Splitter.......

[InRareForm]

Parker playing great

[DesignatedT]

If Aldridge is already abusing Splitter then he is going to have a field deal with Bonner as well.

[bigdog]

Boxing out would be nice.

[Rummpd]

Spurs have more rebounds early than Portland 5 to 3 with Splitter with 3 - but watch Pop yank Tiago within seconds.
