Toros better without Joseph? Interesting.

[Spurtacus]

Nice. Thought they were done after Game 1 loss at home. Did Dawson play?

[gospursgojas]

Dentmon>>>Joseph

Eric Dawson played less then a minute in game 1 and didn't play in game 2.

still impressive either way

Winning game 2 with Joseph and Dawson is a huge performance for the Toros. I guess Spurs will sent down Joseph for game 3. Hopefully Dawson will have recover from his concussion. Spurs could too send down Byars but it would be weird.

They could send down Blair and Anderson as well.

Dawson is back for the championship game

Good news. He should really help Toros inside.

[T Park]

send em Joseph and Byars.

take the ring from LA.

[Budkin]

Would be awesome if they won it all... too bad it's not here in Austin.

[Venti Quattro]

why are LA and the toros fighting for the title? Are the toros placed in the eastern conference?

Looks like the seedings have nothing to do with east and west.

Kind of standard for the NBADL...maybe it should be called the O-League. :toast

[timvp]

Pretty entertaining, tbh. Up 5 with 4:37.

[timvp]

:lol the Lakers arena announcer also does D-League games.

[Spurs4#5]

if the spurs and austin win the finals will that be the first dleague and pro team to do that?

[CubanMustGo]

Up 9 with 24 secs. Congrats Toros!!

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Looking like it will be a Toros win! Congrats to them!

[Budkin]

Wow it's an omen!

[CubanMustGo]

Bumped into a bunch of the Toros celebrating after they won to get into the championship ... this is the D-League so they were celebrating at the Applebee's in Cedar Park. Nice guys, glad they pulled off the championship, winning two in LA where the "D"fenders hadn't lost in the postseason.

[Budkin]

I live in Cedar Park but haven't seen the Toros play since they were in the convention center. Great for Austin and the Spurs though!

[Spurs Brazil]

Congrats Toros!
