Good win
but there's a lot of work to do.
He was a lot like Amar'e.

I hate League pass broadband.....I miss the entire last 2 mins of the game.....pathetic.
Save that statement for the playoffs if these two teams meet and SA wins.
Dice and Bogans are key to our aspirations this year - they can both play Spurs defence.
And of course RJ - tonight is what we brought him in to do! Penetrate, make athletic plays, and fill it up when the Big 3 are injured. Excellent game.![]()
So where's all the crow-eaters who thought Spurs had no chance to win this game?
Pop basically played 8 guys.
Bogans: 34 minutes
Hill: 33 minutes
McDyess: 30 minutes
Jefferson: 41 minutes
Blair: 21 minutes
Ginobli: 30 minutes
Bonner: 20 minutes
Mason: 17 minutes
Finley: 7 minutes
Ratliff: 1 minute
The one thing I took away from this game is that some of the dancers have severe butter face. Severe.
Someone has to make a post in the format like

Winning a back to back team at home is not amazing at all.
spurs have some of the ugliest cheerleaders.
Dude, I'm playing with you. A team can't win if it never takes the lead.
GREAT. ING. WIN.
I'm so excited by this win I can't describe it.
Yes, we have a long way to go...no doubt about that.
But in the meantime...
JEFFERSON IS THE MAN. MCDYESS IS THE MAN. BONNER HIT A BIG SHOT WHEN WE ACTUALLY NEEDED IT! HILL IS THE MAN!
Thank you, thank you, Spurs...this was a great game, and a great win.
You gotta see the dunk. Close second to the Portland dunk.
Well, it is San Antonio. Great city, but c'mon.
Get lost![]()
Beating dallas is awesome! And with no duncan and parker makes it amazing![]()
I didn't watch the game but I excitedly kept checking the scoreboard online. I am so happy with the win. I hate the Mavs.
Thanks! I can't wait to see the highlight.![]()
Lots of heroes ion this game.. RJ, Dice, Manu had a nice shhoting stretch for a while.. Matt Bonner delivered and steadied the ship when it looked bleak, GHill also showed how far he has come from last year.. But Bogans gets my vote for setting the tone early with his defense then backing it up with consistent 3-pt. shooting.. a good win. Don't see Pop complaining much after this effort by the guys. In fact, I'd like Pop to take his time bringing back TP and TD.. let these guys build on the chemistry the past couple of games.
It was really good to see this team clamp down on defense tonight.
my league pass broadband is almost unwatchable. I have to pause and skip to live seemingly every min. Is there a way to fix this manually or should I contact nba.com?
Still. Unless it was "Let Disfigured Vets be Cheerleaders for a Day" Day.
Present, surprised and very happy![]()
