Game Blog: Spurs @ Wolves - Jan. 11

[ElNono]

How is this not a 20-25 point game? Just crazy.

[01Snake]

Did anyone catch Parkers reaction when Pop just took him out on the last play of the half? He looked pissed.

[m33p0]

it is as much as alley as it is oop. tony and rj need to get some gym time together and practice that.

[ohmwrecker]

Let's get out of this ladies clothing and get into our tights!

This is a very laid back game thread tonight.

[Pauleta14]

RJ's getting old...

[Spurologist]

Love deserves a better team.....this Minny team is garbage

[Pauleta14]

Did anyone catch Parkers reaction when Pop just took him out on the last play of the half? He looked pissed.


I hope he is...

[tdunk21]

10 point lead
-8 rebounding, +9 assists

love with 10 boards already

[Brazil]

Did anyone catch Parkers reaction when Pop just took him out on the last play of the half? He looked pissed.

it was to let georgie go for a huge coast to coast failure

[ohmwrecker]

it is as much as alley as it is oop. tony and rj need to get some gym time together and practice that.

I wonder why they haven't thought of that?

[easy7]

Good half... I wander if they are still going to try more alleyoops... :flag: :flag: :flag:

[DPG21920]

To be fair, Parker is only 1-4. He is assisting well, but a lot of that is due to guys hitting a lot of perimeter shots.

TP is not playing that well imo and maybe Pop is trying to find him some extra rest. TP has been listless for a while now.

[Fireball]

I wonder why they haven't thought of that?

:rollin

[Fireball]

Is this Melo trade ever happening? I really want to see him shipped to the East, because playing Denver with him in the first round of the playoffs would be tough ...

[ElNono]

Getting murdered on the boards and 3 of their bigs are either injured or in foul trouble.

[AussieFanKurt]

Hows bonner playing?

[ohmwrecker]

TP is not playing that well imo and maybe Pop is trying to find him some extra rest. TP has been listless for a while now.

He is having another emo period. He should make a folk rock record.

[ElNono]

Hows bonner playing?

Good. Making up what he gives up on the other end so far.

[Fireball]

Getting murdered on the boards and 3 of their bigs are either injured or in foul trouble.

Kevin Love played 20 minutes ... enough time to "murder" us

[boutons_deux]

Spurs get a bad break. Bucks@Hawks postponed tonight.

[Fireball]

Spurs get a bad break. Bucks@Hawks postponed tonight.

At least the Bucks had to travel for nothing, or did they not?

[it's me]

To be fair, Parker is only 1-4. He is assisting well, but a lot of that is due to guys hitting a lot of perimeter shots.

TP is not playing that well imo and maybe Pop is trying to find him some extra rest. TP has been listless for a while now.

8 assist isn't bad at all.

[Fireball]

8 assist isn't bad at all.

In a close-up you could see him coughing. He is still not healthy which explains the 3 TOs ...

[CFH]

Rj 3!

[DPG21920]

8 assist isn't bad at all.

Again, the Spurs hit 73% from 3PT land. Spurs just shot really well. Some credit goes to TP obviously, but the Spurs and TP aren't playing that great imo. They are shooting very well and playing solid, but they are just raining 3's.

[ohmwrecker]

At least the Bucks had to travel for nothing, or did they not?

I heard they were stuck in Atlanta, but that doesn't make a lot of sense.

[CFH]

Blair

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony playing terrible D

[Gospursel]

blair has officially added the tear drop to his offense

[AussieFanKurt]

dicky knocking em down

[CFH]

Love hits a 3, 6 point game, ugh...

[Spurologist]

+6

[noles1983]

so sick of this fucking twolves team

[AussieFanKurt]

christ...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tony just missing shots. He seems like he might still be a little sick. Or has caught something else.

[DPG21920]

Spurs with porous defense tonight + bad rebounding. If it wasn't for the crazy 3PT shooting, this would be a pretty bad game for them.

[CFH]

Darko with the T :lol

[Spurologist]

2 techs on Minny?

[CFH]

It's a technical fest! :lol

[noles1983]

hahah gtfo rambis

[Tp9gospursgo]

lol that was a clear foul.

[timtonymanu]

Rambis to the ref: Fuck you!

[Fireball]

Refs making up for some bullshit calls of the first half

[Spurologist]

4 techs on one possession. :lmao

Rambis exits with an ovation

[DPG21920]

When I watch games, I judge whether it's good or bad by what the Spurs do that is sustainable and reliable.

If you are playing good defense, rebounding and taking care of the ball, that equals good basketball that will win you a lot of games.

If you are just scorching hot from 3, but losing in a lot of the other, fundamental areas, there is a lot to work on.

But again, this is the Wolves. The Spurs have played them now for the fourth time and it is hard to get up for a team like this in the middle of the season.

[CFH]

Spurs right back up by 10 thanks to the T's :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Meltdown

[CFH]

Another T, OMG, this is outrageous :lol

[noles1983]

Hahahahahaha

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lmao

[Chase_the_Bass]

hahaha oh wow

Poor Minnesota fans

[Juanobili]

Jesus...

[Gospursel]

this is the weirdest freakin game

[8FOR!3]

This is getting awkward.

[Fireball]

T-Wolves destroy themselves

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

L O L :rollin

[Brazil]

now thats pure comedy

[Tp9gospursgo]

Whats got you so mad today Wolves?

[JohnnySixString]

T anyone?

lol, damn refs are drunk with power!

[DPG21920]

T-Wolves destroy themselves

This is true. It is what keeps them down. If the Spurs shots don't keep falling, they could be in trouble still this game though.

[Cessation]

Meltown!!

[NRHector]

T-Wolves destroy themselvesand the Spurs right behind them :bang

[CFH]

Timmy!

[Gospursel]

Whats got you so mad today Wolves?

tired of living in Minnesota

[noles1983]

Fuck you twolves clap clap clap clap clap fuck you twolves

[AussieFanKurt]

what happened???

[DPG21920]

Tim getting it going.

[CFH]

Timmy J

[The_Worlds_finest]

I'm watching the game via game channel. I thought there was a glitch

[easy7]

Kurt is no Pop.. :hat

[CFH]

Lazy pass...

[Tp9gospursgo]

We need a timeout.

[noles1983]

Stop the fucking lazy passes!!

[m33p0]

refs needs to shove it

[timtonymanu]

lazy pass again. Fuckin tired of those.

[Crookshanks]

another lazy pass - another score

[Rummpd]

Wolves to the bench insert European spare big what a novel thought!

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Bonner

[Ditty]

KBP getting a hard on

[Fireball]

Kurt is no Pop.. :hat

I thought so too ... but Bill Laimbeer might be able to hold this young team together

[TIMMYD!]

WTF Was that Duncan?

[Fireball]

now attack for the rest of the quarter and make the FTs

[JohnnySixString]

Spurs need to stop helping the wolves get their 10th win.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hey pop, just because bonner is white, doesn't mean he can match up with love...

[CFH]

Stop turning the ball over

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yes...more "plays" for beasley

[NRHector]

I saw that one a mile away

[Crookshanks]

Timberwolves have a lot of ugly white guys playing for them

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

he was outside of the circle fkhead refs

[Spurs Brazil]

I don't like this lineup. Replace RJ with Manu

[Gospursel]

Timberwolves have a lot of ugly white guys playing for them

challenging dallas and utah from a few years back

[TIMMYD!]

Ridnour always plays his ass off against us.

[Gospursel]

dice is such a solid player

[CFH]

Make your free throws, dammit

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

why the f is hill always giving up his dribbles and ball when he is running point

[Spurologist]

Dice with nice hustle..hits 1/2 at the line

[CFH]

Dammit Dice couldn't hold onto the ball

[m33p0]

we should be up by 30.

[8FOR!3]

Dice is playing hard tonight.

T-Wolves are the best worst team in the NBA.

[Spurs Brazil]

Looks like Spurs really want to lose this game. A lot of mistakes in the 3rd

[JohnnySixString]

Should this game even be this close?

I guess it's normal for the Spurs though,lol.

[Fireball]

Dice is playing hard tonight.

Yes, and his obligatory bad pass resulting in a TO and a bucket hasn't happened yet

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu and Tony on the bench is a disaster for us. Hill is a horrible PG

[Brazil]

i'm tired of these wolves, they don't want to die already

[Crookshanks]

Looks like Spurs really want to lose this game. A lot of mistakes in the 3rd

They played a really crappy 3rd quarter in the last game also.

[CFH]

Neal 3!

[Brazil]

Manu and Tony on the bench is a disaster for us. Hill is a horrible PG

Hill running the PG = automatic bad stretch for us

[Fireball]

Time for some Gary Neal action to get some separation again ...

[Spurologist]

nnnnnnneeeeeeeeaaaaallllllll 3333333333333333333333333333333333

[Werdsniper2]

G3!!!!!!

[CFH]

Defensive 3 seconds, ugh...

[Fireball]

Time for some Gary Neal action to get some separation again ...

I typed that before he made the 3 ...

[NRHector]

N3ALlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[SpursFan0728]

is parker still sick or what? He is playing terrible

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Looks like Spurs really want to lose this game. A lot of mistakes in the 3rd

Agreed.

I unfortunately have the Wolves' announcers and they won't stop bitching and moaning about the refs. Seriously, STFU! :pctoss

[Tp9gospursgo]

Flop.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

is parker still sick or what? He is playing terrible

You mean "terribly"? Yes, he is.

"Terrible" is the adjective, "terribly" the adverb.

[DPG21920]

i'm tired of these wolves, they don't want to die already

The thing is, they do really well in the important stats (Rebounding, limiting to's...). When you do fundamental things well, especially rebound, you will keep yourself in a lot of games. They have done that vs the Spurs.

[Spurologist]

someone pulls a flop on manu :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

pop said flop :rollin

[Crookshanks]

Refs have ruined this game - neither team can get in any kind of a flow. Just whistle after whistle.

[Fireball]

Flop.

Against the master of flopping

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

keep attacking bonner, you will sure be in the game. :tu

[CFH]

Manu tip in!

[Spurologist]

incredible hustle for the put back for manu

[Rummpd]

Thank God for Manu

[m33p0]

thank god for manu.... oops, my bad.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Um, was Manu even within 2ft of Webster on that? :wow

[Brazil]

at least we finished this quarter

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu could possible get a triple double..you never know..

[Werdsniper2]

I am seriously considering the possibility that we will never see Splitter on the floor again. Looks like another DNP-CD.

[NRHector]

Jesus does Manu have to do everything? :bang

[BoricuaCJA]

The thing is, they do really well in the important stats (Rebounding, limiting to's...). When you do fundamental things well, especially rebound, you will keep yourself in a lot of games. They have done that vs the Spurs____.
Every game!

[Spurs Brazil]

Not a very good 3rd quarter but still up 12

[jag]

Relatively speaking, the Wolves announcers are pretty good.

[Fireball]

I am seriously considering the possibility that we will never see Splitter on the floor again. Looks like another DNP-CD.

I already made up my mind about this a few games ago. No more Splitter this season if the other bigs stay healthy ... :depressed

[scottspurs]

Okay spurs finish them off. I'm glad this ends the season series because the T-wolves seemed to play the spurs tough every game this year.

[BoricuaCJA]

I am seriously considering the possibility that we will never see Splitter on the floor again. Looks like another DNP-CD.
We will see him this season but I really want him to play a few 30+ min games. The thing is, I don't see that happening unless of injuries or back2backs.

[BoricuaCJA]

Damn that scrambling D was terrible!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Relatively speaking, the Wolves announcers are pretty good.

Actually, I have to agree with that. Their homerism isn't nearly as bad as some. However, their constant whining about calls and no calls (most of which aren't there to start with, or are being called correctly) is getting to me.

[CFH]

Bonner 3!

[Spurologist]

Booooonnnnnneeerrrrrrrr 333333333333333333

[Gospursel]

hill running the point is disgusting

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dice!

[CFH]

Dice dunk!

[timtonymanu]

Nice play there

[BoricuaCJA]

Thats what I like, going up hard for the slam. Mcdyess!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think we're not seeing Splitter because Pop is trying to give him more time to understand the system before giving him pt again, given that he was pretty awful and his last few outings. Thus, we're getting Dice instead, which I don't mind, as he fits the team perfectly.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tony passing pretty well at least.

[jag]

Actually, I have to agree with that. Their homerism isn't nearly as bad as some. However, their constant whining about calls and no calls (most of which aren't there to start with, or are being called correctly) is getting to me.

The Wolves got screwed out of a few calls after all those T's were called. Sean would have been bitching just as much if not more.

[Spurologist]

I think Tommy Heinsohn is pretty good....because he's hilarious. He's far better than these Minny announcers imo

[timtonymanu]

Fuckin Wes Johnson.

[CFH]

Fuckin Wes Johnson.

He always plays well against the Spurs.

[BoricuaCJA]

I did not like that Wes put back in his own miss. Thats a no-no.

[Crookshanks]

man this team will just not die. Spurs go up by 15 and look to blow it open - and then wham - back down to 10.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves refuse to die

[Spurologist]

Wes Johnson is got that second jump trampoline motion after a miss ala Marion

[Fireball]

I think Tommy Heinsohn is pretty good....because he's hilarious. He's far better than these Minny announcers imo

:nope

[scottspurs]

Wes Johnson>Evan Turner

[senorglory]

McD not messing around, playing tough. Throwing some bodies around, some shoving. God bless him.

[Fireball]

It looks like Timmy has to get on the court in the 4th ...

[Brazil]

Wolves refuse to die

they are really annpying

[Gospursel]

I think we're not seeing Splitter because Pop is trying to give him more time to understand the system before giving him pt again.

i'm just afraid that won't happen until next season.

[senorglory]

i think tommy heinsohn is pretty good...

-1

[timtonymanu]

of course they leave the corner open.

[jjktkk]

The Wolves got screwed out of a few calls after all those T's were called. Sean would have been bitching just as much if not more.

Have to say they are most unbiased announcers I've listened too this year.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Wolves got screwed out of a few calls after all those T's were called. Sean would have been bitching just as much if not more.

I thought they got screwed out of one call, but about three others the announcers were all over were no calls.

No argument that Sean is a homer. I wish he would be more impartial.


I think Tommy Heinsohn is pretty good....because he's hilarious. He's far better than these Minny announcers imo

For mine, the Clips and Knicks guys are the best.

[CFH]

Tim with the hook

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Have to say they are most unbiased announcers I've listened too this year.

You heard the Clips guys? They are very generous to the other team.

[Spurs Brazil]

That was a great plat by TD

[jjktkk]

You heard the Clips guys? They are very generous to the other team.

They don't want to be labeled Clipper homers, cause they don't want people knowing their associated with the Clippers. :lol

[Brazil]

come on let finish this shit

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yea, these commentators are relatively less annoying

[tdunk21]

timmmmmmmmy with the hook shot

[jag]

Have to say they are most unbiased announcers I've listened too this year.

Agreed. You can tell they like and respect the Spurs franchise and the individual players. The Memphis announcers were good, too. They loved them some Tim Duncan.

[falconqb1234]

spurs havent blown this game open like i hoped. need rest for the game tom

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They don't want to be labeled Clipper homers, cause they don't want people knowing their associated with the Clippers. :lol

True in the past, but not this year! :lol

[CFH]

Bad pass Dice...

[timtonymanu]

spurs havent blown this game open like i hoped. need rest for the game tom

considering how the spurs-wolves game have been all year, this game is actually great.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Milwaukee guys are pretty good too IIRC.

Clips announcers literally gush about the Spurs. ;)

[m33p0]

tim should stop watching tony play. the tear-drop is not his shot. :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damnit

[Texas_Ranger]

lol @ Eva!!!!!!

[Fireball]

The Memphis announcers were good, too. They loved them some Tim Duncan.

By the way, the remaining games against the Grizzlies will be very tough ... I expect one loss against them

[CFH]

Parker!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol eva

[ducks]

A - Tony Parker defensive rebound
4:57 MIN - Shooting foul on Wes Johnson
4:57 SA - Tony Parker hits the first free throw
4:57 SA - Tony Parker hits the second free throw
4:43 MIN - Wes Johnson misses a layup
4:42 SA - Tony Parker defensive rebound

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hear the guy yelling "Eeeeeevaaaaaa". Arsehole. :lol

[timtonymanu]

damn beasley hurt himself again.

Just sit yourself out already.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Beasley needs to stop being a hero and rest that ankle. It could only get worse the more you play on it.

[Baseline]

You heard the Clips guys? They are very generous to the other team.

The Clippers TV announcers, Ralph Lawler and Mike Smith, are far and away the best in the league. They're super knowledgeable, hilarious, and they make it a ton of fun to watch Clipper games despite what the home team's record may be. They're very honest about players. If a guy is stinking it up, they'll say it. Or they'll joke about it.

They rake on each other all the time - a lot of good-natured ribbing. And they love the Spurs, too. They're super complimentary of the Spurs and their organization.

[ducks]

4:07 SA - Tony Parker drives to the hoop for a layup. Assist: Richard Jefferson

[Em-City]

lol @ Eva!!!!!!

huh??? do tell..

[NRHector]

damn hate to see that :depressed

[Crookshanks]

man Beasley is snake bit.

[Fireball]

Beasley is such an idiot ... thats why you don't play with a sprained ankle ...

[Texas_Ranger]

huh??? do tell..

Parker shot the FT and some fan screamed Eva. :rollin

[jjktkk]

tim should stop watching tony play. the tear-drop is not his shot. :lol

Thats the 1st time I've ever seen Duncan attempt one.

[Spurologist]

:nope

homerism is a factor but I like announcers that bring life to the game and substance second. Some of my favorite the past couple years are: Bill Walton, Mark Jackson/Van Gundy, Heinsohn, Tom Tolbert, Elliott

[Spurs Brazil]

Beasley injured again

[Pauleta14]

Tony waking up late...

[jag]

Milwaukee guys are pretty good too IIRC.

Clips announcers literally gush about the Spurs. ;)

Clips announcers are good. I kind of wish Sean were more unbiased but he usually laughs off his homerism so it isn't as bad.

[senorglory]

For mine, the Clips and Knicks guys are the best.

Clipps guys are pretty cool. They seem to have accepted that they're likely to lose on any given night, and don't freak out so much when a play or call doesn't go the Clippers way. They also will voice appreciation for players from the opposing team.

And since we're on the topic of the Clippers, can I just add: Holy moly, Baron Davis is disinterested and unmotivated. We're is the Golden State madman from playoff past? Did this Baron Davis eat the old Baron Davis? Davis should give his money back. Davis should be heckled by a courtside Donald Sterling.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Probably should have been a foul on Timmy. You do have to protect jumpshooters so they can land. However, Beasley did end up about 2ft inside the 3pt line.

[Fireball]

The Clippers TV announcers, Ralph Lawler and Mike Smith, are far and away the best in the league.

I am happy for them that they have Blake Griffin now ... a lot more fun to announce one dunk after another and they are winning some games too

[jag]

Beasley injured again

He needs to quit with the Rondo act. Everyone in that stadium is tired of giving him sympathy ovations.

[Brazil]

Wolves are just stupid to let Beasley play, ridiculous

[CFH]

Parker in beast mode

[DPG21920]

Lets go boys. Finish strong. Put them away.

[jag]

Clipps guys are pretty cool. They seem to have accepted that they're likely to lose on any given night, and don't freak out so much when a play or call doesn't go the Clippers way. They also will voice appreciation for players from the opposing team.


:lol very true

[Brazil]

TP taking over the fourth he didn't appreciate to spend the last fourth he played on the bench

Baron was looking more interested a few weeks ago... has he tanked again? Sad to hear, because he could be Super-Baron with Blake, Eric and DA to pass to.

[Gospursel]

spurs playing like that should have for 3 quarters in the last 2.5 min.

[timtonymanu]

well at least this one wasn't a heart attack. actually it was boring, tbh.

[tdunk21]

damn TP layup was so cool

[Brazil]

Splitter in the garbage time, poor him

[Fireball]

time to open the bench

[CFH]

Glad this wasn't a nail-biter for once.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good W. Solid game, only some bad sequences in the 3rd quarter

[EricB]

Wish there was a way to convince McDyess to play one more year.

So much hops left, still a damn good player....

[jag]

Wes Johnson is gonna be a stud in a few years if he gets good coaching.

[Mugen]

Tiago time! Thanks pop!

[Crookshanks]

well at least this one wasn't a heart attack. actually it was boring, tbh.

Extremely boring game!

can't forget Harlan of course....."SLASHING MOVE!"

[it's me]

tiagooooooooooooooooo LOL

[DPG21920]

:tu

Baron Davis is going off lately. I don't know what he is talking about at the moment.

[Werdsniper2]

Nice D Neal. Nice win.

[DPG21920]

W

[timtonymanu]

Wish there was a way to convince McDyess to play one more year.

So much hops left, still a damn good player....

+1. He looks to have at least two more years. He's easily the 2nd best rebounder on the team after Tim.

[DJ Mbenga]

love has beasted 3 times and they still lose.

[Spurologist]

8 games ahead of last year's pace :tu

[Chase_the_Bass]

Is Tim ever NOT the last one off the court?

[jag]

Solid play from Tiago in the 4th. If that didn't earn him a starting spot then I don't know what will.

Free Tiago Splitter!

[Fireball]

good win ... time to catch some sleep before going to work

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Splitter in the garbage time, poor him

Yeah, his body language says dejected. Must be pretty low on confidence right now. Hope he has the fortitude to fight through it and earn some time on the court.

[Budkin]

Finally the Wolves play like their record... Spurs beatdown.

[senorglory]

Baron was looking more interested a few weeks ago... has he tanked again? Sad to hear, because he could be Super-Baron with Blake, Eric and DA to pass to.

He should be energized by Griffin, and the other young Clippers. The Clippers are not as stanky as their current record. Even just Kaman getting healthy and to the same form he had at the end of last season would be enough for dramatic improvement in Clippers play.

Griffin is insanely awesome.

[Fireball]

Is Tim ever NOT the last one off the court?

Thats the routine of the team captain ...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

love has beasted 3 times and they still lose.

he pretty much beasted every game but the wolves are not quite a team yet

[ElNono]

I thought this was a much more solid win. That said, hitting 3 like crazy early really helped. Onto Milwaukee.

[Brazil]

Solid play from Tiago in the 4th. If that didn't earn him a starting spot then I don't know what will.

Free Tiago Splitter!

:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Baron Davis is going off lately. I don't know what he is talking about at the moment.

I've been away for a week, but that's what I thought I saw - he was really building chemistry with those guys around X-mas/NYE.


Wish there was a way to convince McDyess to play one more year.

So much hops left, still a damn good player....

Yeah, very tough defender, rebounder, nice jumpshooter, smart as they come, fits beautifully with the team. Why wouldn't he take up his option? I guess he wants to spend more time with his family.

:tu

[senorglory]

Baron Davis is going off lately. I don't know what he is talking about at the moment.

Concede regarding recent play. should have qualified.

-1 for me.

[Brazil]

Yeah, his body language says dejected. Must be pretty low on confidence right now. Hope he has the fortitude to fight through it and earn some time on the court.

well at least if he cracks the rotation after that he will demonstrate he is solid, must be frustrating to be treated like a star in Europe and then to go for Pop's dog house

[BoricuaCJA]

First game against the Wolves that wasn't a close one. Good job Spurs but our defense was still not that good imo.

[easy7]

Glad this wasn't a close one...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Clippers are much better than their standings indicate, they just don't know how to win yet. Scott Skiles could have them in the playoffs next year, not sure about Vinny though.

well at least if he cracks the rotation after that he will demonstrate he is solid, must be frustrating to be treated like a star in Europe and then to go for Pop's dog house

That's what I was thinking - he's used to being the man, it must be a blow to the ego to have to start all over again. But I'm sure he has the NBA in him and we'll see why he came over... just not sure how soon we'll see it. Probably next year.

Despite my affection for for former Spur Del Negro, I can't really figure how he got the Clippers job. I assume he was a cheap option. Which appealed to Sterling.

Cool seeing Malik Rose on the Spurs Live postgame show. Miss that guy.
