San Antonio lost against their last game on their rodeo to the Raptors but after having a 6 day rest, will be looking forward to beating the Knicks at MSG.

Manu Ginobli has an awesome game for the team last time out and was severly disappointed from losing their last game against the Raptors. With Duncan and Parker performing well in the All-Star game, they will look forward to finish their 3 game rodeo trip on a high.

San Antonio have a reputation of going on amazing runs after the All-Star break with 7 straight in 2006, 11 straight in 2007 and 9 straight in 2008. They will be looking towards a similar performance with the same nucleus of the team in those previous victories.

Knicks only have David Lee to turn for an All-Star type performance who is 3rd in the league in double doubles. Al Harrington is also a top performer relying on their three point shooting, but taking a defensive lineup of the Spurs as D'Antoni found out on several meetings with Poppovich, he struggled to get the best from their team.
