Big Z is slightly taller and has proven himself to be a better all around player over the years. Nevertheless, this should be an interesting matchup to see. <font color="#FF0033">Drew Gooden</font> v <font color="#999999">Tim Duncan</font> –Tim Duncan will not be stopped. The reigning Finals MVP should be able to surpass Gooden easily. Look for a 25-13 performance from Timmy D in this game. <font color="#FF0033">LeBron James</font> v <font color="#999999">Bruce Bowen</font> – LeBron, like Tim Duncan, should dominate most matchups that he’s in. This will be no exception; I expect LeBron to score 27 points, get 8 boards and dish 9 assists in this one. Have fun watching it. <font color="#FF0033">Larry Hughes</font> v <font color="#999999">Emanuel Ginobili</font> – The matchup of the game, easily. Two fairly explosive players who defend aggressively. It will be a fiery matchup sure to produce its fair share of fouls, thrills and spills. Watch this matchup closely. <font color="#FF0033">Eric Snow</font> v <font color="#999999">Tony Parker</font> – Eric Snow will have to play his best defence to even contend with Parker. It might be possible, but I doubt it. <div align="center"><u><font color="#FF0033">SCORE PREDICTION</font></u></div> <u><font color="#FF0033">89</font>-<font color="#999999">106</font></u>
Should be a great game...I expect it to be realtively close with Duncan and LeBron each having 30+ point nights...I think the Spurs will pull it out 98-94...
