Today I'm Driving With: Tony Parker
Picking my 1st Spur (Duncan, Ginobli, Hill and even Jefferson are pickable) in a series that could go either way. He could be in the starting line up tonight after a bad performance by Hill (Nash had 33 points in game 1). Let's see how it goes. The Spurs need Parker and I just need some decent PRA. Go Parker!
Changing my Pick: http://twitter.com/SPURS
Coach Pop said during his pregame media availability there is no change in the starting lineup.
I'm going with Duncan.
Parker did have a good game yesterday, however i don't see Pop switching his line up. He doesn't spook easy. I think he likes parker and Ginobli coming off the bench. I think he has confidence in Hill and i think he will start him (to bench him now risks a lot of a young player, to suddenly bench a young player because of one bad game takes away all confidence and Pop knows they need him).
ReplyDeleteSo if parker does start i see that as a good pick. However if i know anything about basketball (and you know i do) then i know that Pop has been stressing slowing the game down. They did great in a half court game the other game! He will force feed Duncan and now that they know the Suns strategy of double Duncan they will find a way to shred the Suns D.
I am picking Duncan b/c i know Pop will turn to his constant always present Duncan.
Just a thought you might want to think about. Its not to late to change.
But then again i could be wrong.
Hy Dennis,
ReplyDeleteI agree with u about Hill (x factor against the mavs, remember my post?) but we all know that Parker has not been in the starting line up because of his injury. Come on, this guy has 3 rings and he belongs in the starting line up (u know that, i know that, pop knows that and hill surely knows and feels that). plus, even if Hill starts, parker his seeing starting minutes and he has been productive.
I confess, i was tempted to pick Duncan but i'm afraid of foul trouble, specially on the road. I feel that he can be more agressive at home.
This could be another bad pick (2 many for me now) but i'll stick with Parker.
But then again i could be wrong :(
And what about Manu?
good luck with Duncan. stay cool :)
Duncan locked ;)
ReplyDelete:) haha good choice
ReplyDeleteParker ended up with 30 so not bad but your welcome for the 42 today :) Going with Ginobili at home for game three on friday. He was very passive this whole game and just got assists but i think he is going to come out and be dominant at home when they need a win big time!
ReplyDeleteHe shot poorly today and rarely does that two games in a row. Watch him be super aggressive get to the line and dominate the game!
