Tough game. Andrew is back. I hate his personality with a passion but have to give credit to him; he has been the best center in the East lately. Leads the league in blocked shots and if you watch his games, you can see that he makes even players like Parker, Manu hesitate to go inside. Bucks beat Mavs in Big D, it took a noncall travel resulting in a stepback game-winning J by Ginobili for SAS to beat them. Game pace is quite low and they go after every ball. I expect a battle.
The biggest problem right now to me is starting the games slowly. BigAl's and Paul's ineffecient shot selections and not playing with a sense of urgency at the beginning have lots to do with it. I might be wrong, that's my observation.
Since the team essentially take the other day off, no excuses regarding tiredness, jetlag or whatever.
