This means that Manu is going to be the backup PG.

I know it's not relevant to the game but:

Jeff McDonald: George Karl on the Spurs' defense, from 30 minutes ago:

"Defensively, they are not a dominant defensive team as they once were. They used to be incredible around the basket. You now can score around the basket on them more than ever before. But they’re still solid. They’re still sound, conceptually. (Pop) has tricks, he can mess with you. But they were so good for so many years. "

"We chart our baskets within five feet of the basket every night. Halftime, I’d go in there against SA and we’d be 2 for 15. They just wouldn’t let you score around the basket. That’s different now."

"They used to play two bigs. Now you can take Duncan away from the basket. You can take their bigs away and attack their smalls a little more. You take Duncan in the pick and roll, you’ve got Bonner, or McDyess or Blair covering the basket. That’s just not as good as it was when it was David Robinson, or Nesterovic or Mohammed or someone like that.”

This SOOOOOO pisses me off... this is exactly what we've been all talking about since forever this season... Pop can't see it?

Yeah, but it's so true.

[timtonymanu]

Karl is right but of course Pop thinks he's the so he'll still use small ball.

[Libri]

"They’re still sound, conceptually."

Sad to read that the Spurs are sound in concept only but not in practice.

[DMX7]

The reason it hurts is because it's true.

Tony Parker will not play tonight against the Denver Nuggets due to a left hip flexor strain.
