I can guarantee a Dallas Maverick win in game 4

[Manufan909]

It's never intelligent to guarantee a win when the opposition has the best, arguably the second best and three of the top four players in the series, in addition to home court (though I don't think this is that important in this series, you'd still prefer to have it than not).

However, I fear this will be the result as well. As much as I believe the Spurs are better, they're not better in a landslide. So it's hard for me to envision one team winning three straight over the other. Unfortunately, due to the quick turnaround, Duncan, already due for an off shooting night, will probably be gassed, after playing 44 minutes last night.

If the Spurs don't get better production from spots seven, eight and nine in the rotation, or another big game from Jefferson, I don't see them winning game four. Butler, Marion, Haywood, those guys are going to be fired up and they're all due to play well.

Pop needs to not get cute with the rotation. Nobody wants to see Duncan have to play 44 minutes again (including the entire 2nd half), or Hill 45 minutes or Ginobili 16 straight minutes, ideally, but game four is all about getting a stranglehold on this series; not worrying about what's ideal. If Blair struggles in his initial rotation, yank him quickly and permanently. If Bonner can't make a shot, yank him and limit his minutes the rest of the way. The same goes for Mason (or Bogans, if he get's in). Either they make some semblance of a contribution in some area almost immediately, or get off the court and keep them stapled to the bench. Most games in this series, it's enough that these guys don't kill the Spurs. This one, I get the feeling they're going to need to contribute something in order for the Spurs to win.

I'm no TD hater, and obviously is my favorite b-ball player EVER, but during the game I wish your rules had applied to them. I was sick of Manu and TD forcing up in the first half when they were not making jack (TD), or shooting under 30% (Manu). I believe Blair should have continued getting PT after he had proven he was en fuego, and Dice had been subbed out instead. Also, Manu should have deferred more to GH3. Mother er was killing it with beautiful jay after beautiful jay. I prefer drives to the rim, but when you can't miss, why drive the paint for a cheap shot?
