Well, well, well, look what happens when you take an non-factor out of the line-up...Soups by 20! Again, Rashard Lewis' lax approach to these playoffs has hurt this team and I hope he doesn't start when he get back.
Watching the game from the cozy confines of Mr. Tyler's mansion in Wallnut Creek, Seattle looked dominating. I have been calling out Ridnour this whole series and the guy stepped up, big time. He hit 3's, dished the ball, and played good D on Parker. Let's hope he can keep up the intensity in San Antonio. Allen, what can you say? He is the #1 pure shooter in the league, period end. Collison als had a stellar game. That guy was everywhere, keeping offensive rebounds alive, getting steals, and just overall great hustle.
Expect more of San Antonio getting more calls at home. Even in Seattle, THEY GOT MORE FREE THROWS THAN SEATTLE in Game #4. The Soups can't even get more calls at home?!?!? Frickin ridiculous...is Ginobili David Stern's long lost cousin from Europe? That guy sure seems to get a lot of love for being an average player. He reminds me a lot of Jeff Hornacek...another guy I couldn't stand.

Rinks,
As most of you insight seems right on, i still think the soups need the "regualar season" rashard to step up in order to win the series. The fact the soups are in this series is surprising, to say the least. in order for them to win in SA will require the game of the All Star.
The reason the soups won by 20 was not because rashard did not play. Nate did a stellar job of mixing the lineups and giving the spurs different looks that they didn't prepare for. Plus, Collison is a stud, Wilkins was taking over by the ghost of.....someone else. Ridnour put together a great game. does anyone else find it interesting that Reggie Evans is a non-factor (my thought-why not throw him on Horry?)
Great site rinks. My prediction for the rest of the series....spurs in 7, everyone wins on their home court, unless Rashard comes back and averages 20pts and 10 reb., then the Sonics in 6.
