Starters -- Point guard Tony Parker, Shooting guard Manu Ginobili, Small forward Bruce Bowen, Power forward Tim Duncan, Center Kurt Thomas. Bench -- Guard Jacque Vaughn, Guard Michael Finley, Forward Brent Barry, Forward Robert Horry, Forward Ime Udoka, Center Fabricio Oberto.

PLAYER NOTES

--Power forward Tim Duncan had his first double-double of the Western Conference semifinal series, recording 16 points and 13 rebounds after having totaled just 23 points and 11 rebounds in the first two games. Duncan also found time for four blocks. He'd had just two in the two losses in New Orleans.

--Point guard Tony Parker shot 12-for-24 and totaled 31 points to go with 11 assists. He'd taken only 17 and 14 shots in the first two games, and had recorded a total of just eight assists.

--Sixth man Manu Ginobili made his first start of the postseason and matched Parker's team-high scoring total with 31. Like Parker, he also was much busier offensively in Game 3, firing up 22 shots after having taken just 24 in the first two games. He'd totaled 32 points in the two series-opening losses.

--Backup center Fabricio Oberto (9) teamed with Kurt Thomas (10) to give the Spurs 19 rebounds from the center position. The Hornets countered with just 11 from starter Tyson Chandler (eight) and backup Melvin Ely (three). Oberto had recorded a total of just nine rebounds in the first two games.

Go Utah to take that series to 7 games so neither team gets extra rest.  That way WHEN the Spurs beat New Orleans Monday night, Utah and LA will be playing their game 7 later that night.  With all the Hornets injuries I wish we were playing Saturday night for the wrapup. ...(more)

Alright, no excuses, we need to win both games. PERIOD. Let's do this, only good vibes people, no negative crap.

I don't wanna say game 6 is a "gimmie"  because it's anything but that. The Spurs need to play with a lot of energy. They need a blowout win against the ...(more)

Every game is a must win in the playoffs, game 5 is no diffenrent. This will be a "momentum changing" game for one team. Hopefully it's the Spurs.

I think the Spurs have already won the series (knock on wood). I'm not trying to be cocky be any means however, the Spurs are looking stronger after these past 2 home ...(more)

The adjustments Pop made were pretty cool.....


Putting Manu in the starting line up forced Paul & Parker to cancel each other out on the offensive & defensive sides of the Court.... since Paul could no longer gaurd the slower Michael Finley.... (Which was KILLING the ...(more)

I think the Spurs are like Andre Agassi, in the sense that, in his later years, when Andre knew he couldn't get to a ball, he wouldn't, when he saw a weakness in his opponent, he gave that extra effort, and when it counted, he gave maximum effort while conserving his body and energy for precise moments during the game.  The Spu ...(more)

Okay, the same things aren't working like they did against the Suns.

Tony & Manu aren't able to run these young guys off the court like the Suns.

I propose a new strategy.

The Spurs did show some signs of getting into th ...(more)

Spurs fans...

Although it was bad losing by 19 on the road to New Orleans.

It is nothing new.  This whole current roster is roughly the same team the last 2 seasons.

They went 12-2 at home the last 2 seasons in the playoffs.

They went 8-4 on the road the last 2 seasons in the playoffs.

All 4 r ...(more)
