The Spurs have owned the Blazers in this series lately. They have won the last 12 times against Portland. San Antonio has won 19 of the last 20 games overall with Portland's only win during that span coming at home in 2005.
Last year the Blazers were led by Martell Webster who averaged a team-best 19 points per game against the Spurs. Tony Parker averaged 18 points, 4 rebounds and 5.7 assists vs. Portland last season. Tim Duncan added 17.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in three games. San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich is 31-13 in his career against Portland. One problem for the Spurs in this game could be the absence of guard Manu Ginobili. The Spurs still have Tim Duncan and Tony Parker but missing Ginobili could be a big problem in this matchup against the Blazers.
