I'm suprised ian hasn't gotten any minutes during scrap time. I would think he has a higher upside than haislip.
Man we really needed this win... huge win for us on the road despite it being the Bucks.
That is what we thought, but it is obvious that is not going to happen. Theo Ratliff looks like the way better choice now.I wish Pop would have given him a longer run... he is supposed to be Matty's injury replacement...
Awesome!i am so ready to see the spurs @ MSG tomorrow
Good all around game. Beating the Bucks is like beating a playoff team for us, so it's a good win.
They are a playoff teamThey are 7th in the East.
Nice consistent game on offense and defense. I couldn't ask for more. Tony was aggressive, and hitting his shots. Tim was the MAN and money from the outside. Everyone seemed calm and working well together.
Hope this carries over to tomorrow. Early game to watch tomorrow! W00t!
It's nice always nice to go back home after work & checked online that the Spurs won a game. I think this's all about a fan.
Yes, we are so used to winning that the negative atmosphere when the Spurs loses a game is very intense. After all, we have a decent record in a compe ive league. The team is making every effort to improve, e.g. more solid outings on the road now. This might be the most important thing than the record itself.
Hold all praise til they play an above .500 team. They continue to win games like this but who cares.
That's not really a playoff team. The last couple of playoff spots in the East are like NBA purgatory.They are a playoff team
Wins get us further above .500...no matter who they are against. It's also the Bucks. Have you watched us against the Bucks the past few seasons?

Duncan scores 26 points in Spurs’ win over Bucks
The San Antonio Spurs’ reserves carried them to an easy win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Tim Duncan scored 26 points and San Antonio’s bench scored 51 points in a 112-97 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.
“We moved the ball real well and gave guys an opportunity to make shots,” Duncan said. “Hopefully, that will be contagious and continue to happen.”
While Duncan led the team in scoring, Antonio McDyess(notes) scored 14 points and Manu Ginobili scored 13 points to pace the reserves, who made 22-of-29 shots.
“That’s ridiculous,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said of the bench’s shooting percentage. “That’s not going to happen very often. It happened tonight and obviously it helped us keep the lead.”
The Spurs went up-tempo to open a 20-point lead in the second quarter and Milwaukee never got within single digits in the second half.
“We just had a different mindset,” said Ginobili, who made five of six shots. “We played very aggressively, moved the ball very well. When you do it’s easier to make shots. That was a big difference. We played faster, better. It was more fun.”
The Bucks shot 43 percent for the game while allowing the Spurs to shoot 59.7 percent.
“They caught us on a good night,” Popovich said. “This is one of our better nights of the season. No exaggeration. We played for 48 minutes.”
Tony Parker had 16 points and eight assists for San Antonio, which has won four of five.
“Everybody was making shots and everybody was sharing the ball,” Spurs point guard Tony Parker said. “So, when you play like that, it’s pretty easy basketball.”
Hakim Warrick scored a season-high 23 points for Milwaukee, which has dropped 13 of 17.
“We definitely can’t let teams shoot 59 percent against us,” Warrick said. “Most of that was because of our defense and you’ve got to give them credit, too.”
Rookie Brandon Jennings, the Bucks’ leading scorer at 19.7 per game, was held to 10 points. Jennings struggled to get Milwaukee’s fast break going, running into countless picks set by Duncan in the first half.
“We got some pretty good looks but we just weren’t making them,” Jennings said. “And a team like that, they’re going to come right back at you.”
Milwaukee’s Michael Redd only scored six points, missing seven of nine shots. He has missed 16 games due to injuries this season, but the Bucks are 3-9 when he plays and 9-7 when he doesn’t.
“Hopefully, we won’t have games like this the rest of the season,” Redd said.
San Antonio rookie DeJuan Blair, making his third consecutive start, had eight points and 12 rebounds in 25 minutes.
“He’s understanding the floor a lot more,” Duncan said of Blair, a second-round draft pick. “It just comes with time.”
Andrew Bogut took a pass from Jennings and scored on a layup to bring Milwaukee within 62-51 with 7:47 left in the third quarter. San Antonio, though, got six points from Duncan in a 12-2 run to take a 74-53 lead on his 16-foot jumper with 4:24 left in the period.
The Spurs led 89-64 heading to the fourth and Milwaukee got no closer than 15 points.
Milwaukee missed 15 of its first 17 shots as San Antonio jumped to a 14-4 lead on Blair’s layup with 5:09 left in the first quarter.
Parker hit a 4-foot jumper to give San Antonio a 37-26 lead with 6:11 left in the second quarter, never allowing the Bucks within single digits again.
Duncan scored 16 points in the first half as the Spurs led 56-41 at halftime.
NOTES: Michael Finley missed his eighth straight game with a sprained ankle. … The Spurs have won two consecutive road games and are 4-6 on the road and 12-5 at home.
Exactly. Its not being negative. Its just about us being 2-9 when it matters
They just did it in 08, not that long ago man!!!!!! People forget that there. I looked it up tonight they did it in 03 and 05 too! LE YEARS!!!!!!! THEY GOT SWEPT THOUGHSo it is not a a given to a le sweeping them like I hoped it would be lol.
These are the same guys who had the Lakers & Cavs on the ropes last week and beat the Blazers. A win is a win folks, appreciate the wins ignore the critics and move on.
Did anybody pay attention to the Buck's commentators?
They were very respectable toward the Spurs as well as having practical insight about the game of basketball. It was a nice change of pace after hearing some of the terrible road commentators.
Yeah, the Buck's commentators we're good. If only most teams commentators are like them.
They were very respectful throughout the game with pretty darn good analysis of the plays being run. Lots of love for Tim and Tony. Reminded me of playing the Clippers or GS, which also praise the good teams they play.
Listen we blast everybody under.500 and I know the Bukcs have beaten the Spurs with their mid range shooting. My point is simple and not complicated, we have a long way to go before we start celebrating because we feast (as the media calls it) in non playoffs or sub .500 teams. Good they won but what does it tell you, nothing.They are playing a team with no defense and limited offense. When we start performing like this against better teams then wake me up. For now it's just a good win and an early round exit for us if we keep this delusional thinking.
Let's see the performance under better compe ion or let's see the team really gel as the season goes on. I'm keeping an eye out for that not sub 500 wins.
That's all. I want to jump up and down too but not before we start playing Spurs ball against ELITE teams. Call it what you want but this is my opinion based on facts, you don't have to like it. It's not about bashing the Spurs but keeping things in perspective. I've always done this and I won't stop now just because some are angry that I'm not over excited about a win we should easily gain. Dallas is winning without Dirk and that's far better than us winning against sub 500 teams. I hate Dallas but respect and am taking notice to what they are doing in proper perspective.
