Jack has big balls. That will be one seriously anti-Jackson crowd tonight.

That is why Jack is awesome, probably had this game circled since his tweet and the fine for the tweet.

You're obviously not about dis life, Mel.

If Jack is available, got to assume he gets minutes, if only to try and muscle Durant for a bit. 52 seconds ago


Monroe_SA
I say we put S. Jackson and S. Ibaka on the court tonight, 1 on 1, no refs and, you know, see what happens about 1 minute ago


JMcDonald_SAEN So it turns out Spurs might get a player back tonight after all. Pop says Stephen Jackson will be available tonight, tho not sure he plays. 2 minutes ago

Our nigga jack being back means they'll only get blown out by 15 :tu

Andrew A. McNeill ‏@drew_48moh @JMcDonald_SAEN I can only hope the conversation between Pop and Jack went something like the Peyton Manning / Papa Johns commercial...

Andrew A. McNeill ‏@drew_48moh
@JMcDonald_SAEN Pop: "Jack, you're sitting out against OKC again." Jack: "Cool, am I starting or coming off the bench?"

that's probably not too far off tbh. Jack's crazy enough to scare Pop into changing his mind :lol

I hope Jacks isn't too rusty...

He will be, but there's only one way to knock that rust off..

I would love Jack to be back. But even if he is why is Pop sending Cojo down to the D-league? I understand he needs reps but don't we kinda need all the warm bodies we can get given all the injuries? Or is he still eligible to play tonight?

They get to chatting and find they have so much in common that they decide to go for a 'coffee or something?' Finally, Kevin calls his Mom and says "Mom I'm going to do a sleepover with one of my pals tonight, so don't worry about me...love you too!"...............(sounds of chains against metal as Kevin wakes to find himself handcuffed to a bedpost in a room he doesn't recognize) .....:sucker
Sounds of woman's voice screaming, " I wanna hear ya say it one more time 'Go Spurs Go'....say it!!"


It's either something like this or we're in trouble. :(

You, good sir, are a riot.

I HOPE you did not bet on that there.

Manu improving: Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said there is a chance guard Manu Ginobili, who missed Monday’s game with a thigh bruise, could return tonight in Denver.

“He felt better today,” Popovich said. “It was a little looser. We’ll see how he feels.”

Leonard needs practice: Kawhi Leonard missed his 17th game with left quadriceps tendinitis. The biggest impediment to getting the 21-year-old small forward back on the floor, Popovich said, has been a lack of practice time.

Thankfully, I didn't. :lol

I would sit Manu out until after Christmas. Let him get some practice time too.

Sounds like they're both basically healthy. Pop will probably hold Kawhi out as a precaution and give Manu a few minutes to give the finger to Nuggets fans.
