Well after a long and frustrating lockout its finally time to kick off the season and we`re going to be doing it on boxing day against the team that embarrassed us in the playoffs last year.
The key to this game is going to be the battle in the paint. Z-Bo and Gasol killed us in the paint last year so we`re going to have to find a way to stop them. As it stands right now the Grizzlies are very very thin up front with Arthur`s injury, so if we can get one of Z-Bo or Gasol in foul trouble early on it could go a long way in helping us win this game.
Go Spurs!!
