Ginobili's return sparks Spurs to even series
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Manu Ginobili scored 17 points in the All-Star's return after missing Game 1 with an elbow sprain, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-87 on Wednesday night to even the first-round series.
Ginobili wore a thick sleeve to protect his right elbow but played as physically reckless as usual. He stayed questionable until just before tipoff, yet even with Ginobili, the top-seeded Spurs didn't have it easy.
Sam Young led Memphis with 17 points. The Grizzlies opened the series with a stunner for their first franchise playoff win, and 2-0 lead seemed possible in the final seconds.
Young's 3-pointer with 14.9 seconds left made it 89-87 before George Hill sealed the win at the free throw line.
Game 3 is Saturday in Memphis.

ESPN of course has it buried but the same story but no photo is on the right on the NBA threads at: http://espn.go.com/nba/
Bottom line who cares - Spurs have stabalized the series despite Pop's stubborn substitution patterns behind the gutty Manu and others.

Who cares?
Bottom line - just win. Why get excited for a team that is trotting out Blair and Bonner to get killed while its first round draft pick Euroleague star rots on the bench?

Dude, you whine too much, really, give it a rest and enjoy the win.
The Spurs aren't underdogs. SI has no reason to pretend the Grizz are a powerhouse and the Spurs are the Cinderella story.

It only becomes a worthy story for ESPN if Memphis upsets San Antonio.

Dr. Rummpd,
Does playing worsen Manu's elbow condition?
Best regards,

There should be an ESPN story about spurfan and the myriad ways in which spurfan's butt hurts.
