Looks like there are more weekday games than last season, and only one home game in March? Jeez.
I'm not sure how much of the Showcase I'm going to get a chance to attend, but I'm hoping everyone will be following the Toros for a completely different reason this year (i.e.- I'm hoping that Hill and Mahinmi will be contributing with the big club...although I could also see Tolliver spending time in Austin, if they want to use a roster spot on him).
Thanks for the update
I wish the Toros were there when I lived in Austin
Starring Ian Mahimni...
You just have it in for this guy don't you? Did he take a dump in your shoes or something?
nothing personal.. i just wish he proves me wrong when i think he doesn't have what it takes to be a Spur... that's it... do u have a man crash with him?
Nope. Just trying to figure out why you always have to talk negative about him.
If he was an argie he would be the greatest thing that walked on water of course.
you T Park... i LOVE TP and other French players... btw i'd be the first one supporting Oberto to be shipped for another Center... this is about the Spurs not nationality...
Just FYI -- I checked against the Spurs' schedule, and the best dates for a GTG that out-of-towners could make would be December 13 against Albuquerque or January 10 versus Colorado. Both games are Saturday at 7:30 PM.
