Well well, its re-match time.
Remember this?
2 coaches at the top of their game going head to head. Spo's dismantling of Indiana was glorious, likewise Pop's series shifting switch to starting Bonner instead of Tiago to get over OKC.
We all know the key guys for each team, so lets instead focus on some of the others.
Splitter for me is a key guy. It remains to be seen how Miami approach the Spurs, whether they start Bosh and Haslem, Birdman hasn't played a heck of a lot of minutes lately, or whether its Battier or $hard at the 4. Tiago isn't as bad a match up on Bosh but if Miami go small we could be seeing a little more of Spurs small ball with Tiago and Duncan splitting the 5. But, and a big but it is, Matt Bonners defense is shall we say, not the best part of his game, leaving the pick and roll open to exploitation. You can't switch Bonner onto James or Wade, which means help sagging off Miami's dangerous 3 point shooters. Diaw will play a lot of minutes, but they'll need Tiago to shoulder the load and help out Timmy.
Ok, he's not really an other, but Manu had a horror show in last years Finals. So far this post season has been vintage Manu, and the Spurs will relying on him heavily. It remains to be seen what they can get out of Marco and Patty, the Heat are better matchups to enable them to play Marco a bit more.
Diaw is another key. If the Spurs do end up playing smaller its more likely they go to Boris than Bonner imo. His game 6 against OKC was just sublime. He has the post game to worry Shard and if he's open he can be a streaky 3 shooter.
Do i really have to talk Miami? Obviously I dont want them to win
Again, we all know what Wade and James bring, and Bosh as well. Bosh is an absolute key for Miami, his play in the Indiana series was great apart from one or two poor shooting games.
The big question mark is how well the Heat can contain Duncan down low. They'll be relying on Birdman, maybe a bit of UD, I doubt they dust off Oden, although stranger things have happened. The other factor is the bench. Cole should see a fair few minutes to help Wario on Parker and do we really need to talk about Ray?
A fascinating series on the cards fellas. Heres to another 7 games (and a Spurs win lol)
