GT: Spurs vs. Wizards

Where: Verizon Center, Washington D.C.

Starting Lineups:

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Manu Ginobli
SF - Richard Jefferson
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Dejuan Blair

Wizards:
PG - John Wall
SG - Nick Young
SF - Rashard Lewis
PF - Andray Blatche
C - JaVale McGee

Game 7 of the rodeo road trip and it should be an easy win against the Wizards. We can't have another crappy performance like we had against the 76ers if we want to win this one. The Key to beating the Wizards is going to be shutting down Nick Young. He's been shooting the lights out lately and we can't give him easy looks. We also have to expose the Wizards in the paint, Blair and Duncan both need to play well and TP needs to beat Wall off the dribble and get some easy buckets at the rim.

Go Spurs!!

They have two big men that if god forbid had Dice's basketball IQ would be allstars.

I hope we can just go on cruise control and win this game, but the 2nd game of a back to back is never easy vs any team.

Interesting, pop first change to the starting lineup and brings Manu off the bench.

I don't know what Pop's thought process was with Manu's benching. Maybe just a chance to get some much needed rest for him on the 2nd night of a B2B.

Manu was hurt, that's why Pops brought him off the bench.

This was a good bounce back performance for us. This game was never close and Hill and Blair both played great.

Manu has been a slump as well...
