Nobody will really be talking about this at all, but if you have the game recorded on DVR or Tivo or whatever the you use... rewind it to the end of the 3rd quarter of tonight's game vs. the Nets. The Spurs, up by 14 and rolling were guarding against the last shot. There was a loose ball after a missed shot by the Nets, Gary Neal and George Hill sacrificed their bodies to make sure the Nets didn't get to that ball. They both laid out showing what true heart and passion this team has. That was not it...Pop got a lot more animated than he usually does cuz he gets that this play is exactly what he teaches the guys to be all about. He actually got hyped for this and so did Manu. Anybody that has ever played basketball or been close to a good team knows how good that feels to see what your team will do for each other. It's not a highlight play and won't show up in the stat sheet but that play sums up the season our guys are having and shows why they are mentally ready to bring the trophy back home... These boys are hungry right now and it really shows!!!
We're winning it all this year, and nobody, NOBODY, is going to stop us!!!!!
GO SPURS GO!!!!!
Pop just sits there when Tim or Tony makes a fantastic move to the rim and finishes strong, even if it's a 3pt play. He comes unglued when they hustle on defense up top and put the screws to the opposition at key moments.Nobody will really be talking about this at all, but if you have the game recorded on DVR or Tivo or whatever the you use... rewind it to the end of the 3rd quarter of tonight's game vs. the Nets.

He sees things differently than most coaches. There are only a very few great ones still doing it, he's one of them.
If someone has that, could you please post it? I saw it but would like to see it again. I need a DVR... bleh
Random play like that might be hard to find on YouTube...actually pretty much impossible to find...

go Spurs gooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
but, but.......the Lakers have size!
The only thing the Lakers have that is bigger than the Spurs this year is the number in the loss column.but, but.......the Lakers have size!
Yeah, I noticed that play too and replayed it over a couple of times. Manu went looking for RJ to give him props and Pop was complimenting his guys for the hustle to end the quarter.
Manu appreciated the desire shown by the boys to deny the other team some points.
yup. Pop had a boner when he got up from his seat. Bad ass team hustle.
I rewond and watched that like 5 times.
Duncan was pleased too. He didn't say anything but was the first to jump out of his seat.
Yep, I noticed that everyone was fired up after George and Gary dove to the floor like that...good stuff.
Yeah I played it over like 5 times...lucky to have a team like that in our city!
Man I'm proud to be a Spurs fan. How can you be a bandwagoner with the Spurs? Once you see how its really done, why would you jump on the next bandwagon? I have never been on a wagon before, but I would just think that this is the last stop for people who do ride wagons.
I don't know if it was after that on-the-floor ball-grabbing, but at one timeout when the Spurs came to the bench, the normally phlegmatic, laid-back (at least is recent years) very-pleased Pop went out of his way to give each guy a congratulatory pat on the butt.
Same here. I love it.
I expect many more plays like this come playoff time.
That's Spurs basketball for you
Great clip... love this team!
this is what makes teams scary. You see this hustle from the Celtics. If Spurs can play like this, they will scare ppl.
The Celtics are the only team in the league that scare me. I pray that someone else can knock them out in the playoffs, because if we have to play them it's going to be a tough.

This is why the Fifth Ball is really going to be sweet
It will be truly balls to the wall. I wouldn't want it any other way.
i loved that, thank you, Slomo, for posting that video.
if the Spurs can give that intensity for 48 minutes... we're gonna be one dang tough team to beat.
yep stuff like that makes me proud to be a fan of this team
