He has a big height and weight advantage over Kirilenko, and even with a great defender in Kirilenko on him, he will still dominate the game. Kirilenko must try to get the rebounds, and block shots as much as he can without getting in foul trouble. Prediction Spurs by 24.
Manu finishing with 31 points 8 rebounds and 7 assists in a Spurs 101-94 win. Only downside was TD getting injured and is listed as day to day. If he has to miss quite a few games It will test the Spurs mental focus.
Not a bad game at all from the Jazz, the Spurs are a great team and it's extremely hard for anyone to beat them at home. The Jazz finally got some scoring from their starting backcourt in Keith McLeod and Raja Bell. Bell went for 17 points on 6-9 shooting, 2-2 from 3 and 3-4 from the line. He also had 8 boards. Utah should look to lock him up for as long as they can in the offseason. He didn't have an answer for Ginobili though.
