Spurs aren't going to outrebound these guys (which doesn't mean they shouldn't make the effort). They will win via tough defense and offensive efficiency. Cutting out the opportunity for Jazz defensive rebounds is going to serve them far better than trying to match their rebounding. Cut them off rather than compete with them.

Spurs will win this one on luck, if they win. It's not going to be a well planned deliberate battle. It's going to be helter-skelter, whatever works to get the win sort of play. Not enough to get a coherent strategy in place, other than 'Do what you did during the regular season.'

I think Utah suffers from some rust, but it'll be close.

Spurs 86
Jazz 82
