Man, that was a lot of fun. Loved the energy by all the guys out there. The game was exciting from start to finish and I can't honestly say I wouldn't have enjoyed it almost as much even if the Spurs had lost.
George Hill looked fantastic. Jefferson played great. Some guy who looked a lot like Bonner played some really good ball out there (honest to god, if he played with that same energy every game I don't think I'd complain as much about him). And Manu looked like his all-star self.
One thing I thought was another positive is that even though some guys were off (McDyess, Mason) the team still found a way to get it done. You can tell there's still some confusion on both offense and defense but they were able to make hustle plays and big stops/steals/blocks when they really counted.
Maybe it was just because I got to see a lot more of the guys on the court but everyone's game looked better tonight.
If I was going to have one complaint that did (and has been) get to me is that McDyess is gambling too much on D. He and sometimes his teammates are getting burned because of it. The last few steals at the end were good though.
I could watch this Spurs team all year long and even if they didn't win a championship I'd still enjoy it.
