I don't know, but it doesn't seem structurally sound. It's probably flammable as too.
Right now, with Mason Jr. in his slump, that would be the best S5.

That is not a color found in nature.
It seems to go in and out, depending on many factors.
1. don't stream with other applications running. I only ever have the game and the game thread, and that seems to help.
2. it could be your browser - I'm going to try Chrome soon and see how it works on that. Firefox has become very slow and buggy.
3. it could be your internet connection.
Watch this game on replay - they don't buffer then! I think the buffering is often related to the NBA servers, not my machine.
Golden Retriever fur.
But you know, good things seem to happen when Manu and RJ are on the floor together.
I posted that at half time, but whatever...
Yeah, that lineup should look like Spurs circa 2005 in terms of being able to defend flexibly and score from all over the court.
With Manu/George first 2 off the bench, and then Grizzly/Bonner/Finley/Ratliff/Mason depending on matchups and situations, this team should start to take shape.
As a Magic fan too, my years of watching Bogans convinced me that he'd be a good fit on this team, especially defensively. Glad to see he's starting to get comfortable in his role here.
Just got done watching...what a great game. From the defense to the patented scoring drought, it was truly Spurs basketball.
In the REGULAR SEASON he is average, but in the postseason he has given it his all the last 3 years.
An 82 game season is long and a guy like Dice can't keep up an extremely high type of play too long in regular games.
Good win. Sloppy at times, but a win is a win. Spurs as a team seem to play better when their stars are out.

Jefferson leads short-handed Spurs past Mavs
By Paul J. Weber
Tim Duncan and Tony Parker couldn’t get San Antonio past Dallas in the playoffs, but the Spurs didn’t even need their All-Star duo this time.
Richard Jefferson scored 29 points and the Spurs won again without their two biggest stars, beating the Mavericks 92-83 on Wednesday night in the first rematch since Dallas swiftly booted its division rivals from the playoffs last season.
Back then, Parker and Duncan had virtually no supporting cast while the Mavs ousted them from the first round in five games, San Antonio’s earliest playoff exit since 2000.
If this was payback, most of the Spurs’ starting lineup had no score to settle.
“I remember walking out in the second half and we were starting four guys that are new for this team,” said Jefferson, who had his best game since being traded from Milwaukee this summer. “To have a little success, to give some new guys some extra minutes in the season, is good.”
Dirk Nowitzki scored 29 points and 12 rebounds, but the Mavs were done in by awful shooting. Nowitzki was 9 of 27 from the floor, Josh Howard was 2 of 11 to finish with eight points, and the Mavs shot 35 percent as a team.
Nowitzki, who scored 29 points in the fourth quarter a week ago in a win over the Mavs, had 10 in the fourth when Dallas cut a 15-point deficit down to four with under four minutes left. But the rally stalled when Matt Bonner’s 3-pointer pushed the lead back to seven.
Bonner’s shot came after a missed jumper by Nowitzki, who said he “pressed a little bit” in the second half.
“I probably took a couple of shots that I shouldn’t have taken,” he said. “But hey, we still had a chance.”
Jason Terry added 19 points for the Mavericks and Shawn Marion had 11.
Jason Kidd, who had five points on 2 of 6 shooting and nine assists, said too much fell on Nowitzki.
“We asked him to do way too much tonight,” Kidd said. “We asked him to carry the load offensively, defensively and that was just not right for us as a teammate and as a team to put him in that position.”
Manu Ginobili had 13 points off the bench while Parker and Duncan continued to rest their sore left ankles. Both were injured Friday night in a loss at Portland and sat out their second consecutive game.
Duncan participated in shootaround about an hour before Wednesday’s game but, like Parker, sat on the bench in street clothes. At least one of them is likely to play Saturday against Oklahoma City, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said, though he didn’t hint as to which one.
The injuries are considered mild.
George Hill scored 11 points in his second start for Parker for the Spurs, who watched the Mavs celebrate advancing to the second round following an easy Game 5 win the last time Dallas came to town.
This one didn’t look much like last time.
Aside from four members of San Antonio’s starting lineup being new to the Spurs there was Ginobili, who was 3 of 8 from behind the arc after sitting out the Mavs series last spring with two bad ankles.
Ginobili’s shot at the halftime buzzer—a 3-pointer heaved in front of the scorer’s table—finished a 22-8 run that put Dallas at arm’s length until the fourth quarter.
The traditionally defense-first Spurs have been anything but so far, entering Wednesday’s game allowing an average of 102.5 points per game, putting them in the bottom third of the league. Popovich struggled to explain the slack defense before the game but noted it was slow to catch on last season, too.
He’ll feel better about this effort: the Spurs held the Mavs to their fewest points this season.
Keith Bogans had 13 points for the Spurs and was 3-of-6 from behind the arc.
NOTES: The Spurs trotted out their third different starting lineup in three games. … Mavs F Drew Gooden, benched in his final game during his brief Spurs stint last season, scored two points in 9 minutes. Gooden was playing his second consecutive game since missing four because of a strained rib cage muscle.
Thanks for the tips. I try not to run anything to else during the game but I will try switching or upgrading browsers. Thanks.
Where are you located? Ruff has international league pass broadband.
If you are in the US yours would be different.
Yeah, I'm having problems with it to. The thing is, I'm using the same computer, connection and everything that I did last year (when I had virtually no problems). I also only keep the game video up, but it still lags. I'm wondering if the NBA has more subscribers this year than their system can easily support (would that affect it?).
I don't want to watch the game on replay; I don't mind a slight delay, but I don't want to see the final score and then watch the game.
Whatt jefferson 29 points, damn
I couldnt see the game. Was Blair a starter?
Yes, and blocked the big german too.Whatt jefferson 29 points, damn
I couldnt see the game. Was Blair a starter?
Quick question. Is their anyone who purchased league pass broadband for the beginning of last season at the price of 84.95? How much are you paying this year? Thanks
Pardon me for asking, but what post was Ice responding to? Idk, but I really want to see it, and I don't feel like looking thru the game blog more than I already have.
Im in Southern California.
Wasn't able to see the game but caught the hilights and Damn RJ looked great and stepped up when parker and duncan were out. Hope to see him do well all year and help the spurs in the playoffs.
Is the game up? Where?i am most likely to record the whole game and I will post it up
I was at the game last night and had set the DVR to record. Didn't record though
Anyone at all worried the Spurs Jacking up about 36 3 point attempts versus the Mavs???
Man,,thats almost half of all shots taken. Were lucky they were on a back to back.
We cant continue to shoot over 25 3 point attempts a game. IF we do,,we will live and die by it.
I don't like the number of threes, but you have to think that with Tony and Tim in the offense, that number will go down and points in the paint will go up.
