It will be a long night for sure. Gasol vs. TD will be the most emphasis matchup of the game. Unfortunately missing Darko will hurt big since he's given TD some trouble in the past matchups. He knows how to play TD w/o gettin into foul trouble in a hurry. Rudy needs to run wild on Fin. He can't keep up with Rudy's athleticism. OJ will have to shake off his struggles from the last game and be a factor in this game. Another matchup to look for in this game is Ginobili vs. Ross/Buckner. MI needs to throw the both of them on Ginobili and cause some havoc on him on the floor.

I'd add that the real key to this game is keeping Ginger from getting open.

And keeping Roger Mason from doing what he does.

And keeping Parker from waltzing down the lane like it was his driveway.

Huh. This looks pretty tough now that I think about it.

But it can be done.

Is Francis going to play?

Something tells me we're in store for a patented Grizz turdsandwich tonight. I can't explain it, just feel it coming on.

Francis will be available to the Grizz next week.

Since it's the Spurs, it's a chance the Grizz will lay an egg.

It will be so good for the team confidence if we could win a couple of games from the Big Dogs (Lakers, Spurs, Celts, Cavs).

It would definately be good to steal a couple of those wins from those teams.
