NBA 2005 Final Game 2
The defending Champion struggled in the whole game. They can't stop either of Spurs at defensive end. On the other hand, they simply can't put the ball in rim. The result is another massacre. San Antonio Spurs beat Detroit Pistons 97-76 at SBC center, TX.
Keyman: Manu Ginobili. Boys, I am telling you. He is the MAN! Once again, he proved not only he can score, but he's also capable of assistants. He's a dream player every coach would like to have in their game. He was doing every little things to help his team. Smart and confident he is right now. Pistons know they can't simply stop him one on one, instead they setup second and third d-players in the paint. By the time he penetrated, the Pistons big guys were waiting there. What did he do? He passed to the perimeter jumpers, over and over again, their outside cannons sunk Pistons to grave. Just like textbook, isn't it?
Tim Duncan stand still as usual. He's putting his double-double numbers on board. But look at the percentage 5-10 on FG and 8-9 on FT. He's not challenged at all. It's not the Pistons way. I expect Rallace's will earn some respect on floor in Pistons court. Therefore, push Tim as hard as possible at defensive end and post him up at the other end. Hopefully, he needs to pay hard for his numbers.
Game 3 is a turning point. The defending Champions need this one to earn their confidence back. If they lost, it's very likely a sweep series. L. Brown needs to work super hard to stop Spurs at home, whatsoever, they have nothing to lose again.
