Cure For Spurs Boredom: Garbage Time

I have watched two full San Antonio games this young season. Don't apologize, it wasn't so bad. For all the crap flung about the unsexy style of the Spurs, they can entrance more than you'd suspect. Tim Duncan, of course, is a work of art... a robotish Rodin. Manu Ginobili, perturbing as he might be, is like a one-man circus.

Yes, Tony Parker's persona makes even his sickly fleet feet annoying and Bruce Bowen is a scourge which must be lifted from this planet for humanity to survive. But there's another way: Garbage time.

Look at the lineup San Antonio strutted out much of the fourth quarter in its Friday night Sacramento blowout.


Darius Washington, last seen in Memphis (college) and Thessaloniki (welcome to the pros, kid). Insane quickness and Marburyesque scoring nose only surpassed by gravity-defying beard.

Brent Barry, former white dunk champ.

Ime Udoka, the young Bruce Bowen who is actually not very young. Dark horse complainant in San Antonio minutes crunch.

Matt Bonner, The Red Rocket of Rhode Island New Hampshire. (Whoops.) Illustrious hipness well documented, also possesses underrated crossover. (Clean up after yourself, Mad Dog! Jesus.)

The Kingpin: Ian Mahinmi. His PER is 40.3. That dude Amir Johnson wishes he were Ian Mahinmi. Dude is a Fan Fiesta, as the photographic evidence above confirms. If someone were selling Ian Mahinmi highlights, I'd be buying. Sadly in his infantile career, we must accept only this one. Enjoy.
