Holy Ginobili!!!

Those two words were what came out of my mouth when I just saw the results from the 2007 NBA Final rematch between the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I spoke highly of Spurs swingman with his performance against the Toronto Raptors, but tonights effort was another notch on the Argentine stars belt.

Now wait for the big news....he blocked a shot!!! Thats nothing you say.
How about he got 3 steals? Nope!
5 rebounds? He is getting better but that isnt enough to get you excited is it?
How about his 8 assists? Nice but we have players doing that all the time.
OK lets throw into his stat line an impressive 46 points, including 8 three pointers and 75% field goal accuracy.

Holy Ginobili!!! Thats what I said!!!

What a monster effort from Ginobili, he has made this pre-All Star week his own with some stunning perfomances. Lets hope he can keep it up.

Getting back to the game the Spurs came back from a 71-75 three quarter time deficit to over run the Cavs and win 112-105. That came with a 41 point final term which is much unlike the Spurs who usually dont figure that well in the last quarters. Tim Duncan had another double double with 23 points and 13 rebounds.

LeBron James was the best for the Cavs with a great 39 points of his own, to go with his 6 rebounds and 9 assists. But he did that on 17-31 shooting which was no match for Ginobili's 15-20 shooting.

The Spurs now go on a break for All-Star weekend, they dont play again until the 19th against the Charlotte Bobcats. Good luck to Tim Duncan and all the Spurs over the All-Star Weekend. No INJURIES!!
