PG Look: San Antonio-Los Angeles

Taking a look at how the PG's fared in Game 1 of the West Finals

Game 1 Boxscore

Tony Parker

Had a terrific first half, but in the end he was the poster-child (along with Ginobili) of San Antonio’s second half offensive woes… Finished with 18/10/6 in 41 minutes, but on 7-17 FG… Was getting into the paint easily in the first half. The second half? Well, let’s just say he drew a crowd… Went missing during LA’s second half run; Duncan was the only reliable source of Spur scoring… Had a nice up-and-under in the first half that made Pau Gasol look positively softer than butter… Actually helped hold Derek Fisher scoreless through the game’s first 39 minutes… No Longoria life-size posters behind the baskets at Staples… Will probably have a strong Game 2.

Derek Fisher

Caught a nasty case of Farmar-itis (Translation: Couldn’t make a shot)… As a matter of fact, as previously mentioned, it took him 39 minutes to crack the scoring column… Was actually taken out early in the third and replaced with Farmar, who gave LA a jolt of energy… Does a nice job on Parker, positions himself well, stays in front of him (for the most part), and generally is your run-of-the-mill defensive nuisance… LA needs his outside shooting… Finished 1-9 FG (four points) in 30 minutes.
