Strategy for Game 2 (merged)

[Bricklayer]

Looks like Bibby will likely be guarded by Bowen, if not initially definetly if Bibby starts having a good game.

Probably the latter. See what Mike's got, then try to cool him if necessary. But I strongly suspect the Spurs will take this opportunity to match Bowen on Bonzi to try to neutralize that strength edge, and trust Manu to control the kid on the wing.

Maybe. Bonzi historically has played the Spurs tough, first with Portland then as a Grizz. I was a little surprised he wasn't more effective the other day, he was the one offensively I was most concerned about. Actually, Finley matches up well against him, surprised me a bit. Finley has the strength to hang with Bonz while I've see Bonzi muscle Bowen in the past.
