Damn... section 24, row 4 tickets were on Stubhub for $45 each. Tried to log in to purchase them, but I was using the wrong email address. By the time I figured it out 5 minutes later, they were gone.
There sure are some last minute steals for these weeknight games.

Vogel on Kawhi: “He’s just one of those guys that just plays winning basketball. He makes all of the hustle plays." #Spurs #Pacers

Vogel on Kawhi's shooting ability: "...Most of the league felt that might be a weakness of his, but it’s become a strength." #Spurs #Pacers
LOL, I guess that's true if we pretend there's no such thing as a salary.![]()
It might not end up as one-sided as something like Pippen for Polynice but I don't think history is going to look kindly on Larry Bird for making the trade, both on the level of talent/potential and on the level of salary as Drz mentioned.
Sean Elliott says Kawhi Leonard may be better than him right now defensively, as Sean ever was.
Hope they dont wear those damn crappy ass grey jerseys!
One-on-One with Ian Mahinmi
Pacers center Ian Mahinmi, who is in his first season with the Indiana Pacers, spent three seasons with the Spurs and Austin Toros from 2007-10. He appeared in 32 NBA games with San Antonio and averaged 3.8 points. Mahinmi played in 46 NBA D-League games with the Toros averaging 16.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks. Mahinmi took some time after shootaround before the Indiana’s matchup against the Spurs on Nov. 5 to speak with spurs.com.
On playing with the Spurs:
“I spent three years here. I think those three years were very important for my career. They gave me a good base and foundation, being able to know the system and surround myself with great players and coaches. I learned a lot. My first year, I spent some time in the D-League in Austin. That was one of the best things that happened to me. Then my second year I got hurt but I was able to be around the coaches and players. They got me through everything. In my last year, my third year, I got to play. In those three years, I would never take them for granted. Those were really the foundations of my NBA career. If I had to do it over again, I would.”

Eh, I've said Larry Bird was overrated last season but the Leonard deal wasn't a bad trade for them. To land your starting point guard for a mid first round draft pick is a deal any team will take. It was a pretty huge risk for the Spurs but it was a safe move for the Pacers with very limited downside.
The Pacers could afford to pay Hill; the Spurs couldn't. The Spurs needed a quality wing; the Pacers didn't. Both Hill and Kawhi are more valuable (more worth it) to their current teams than they would be with the teams that traded them. That's how a trade can work out for both teams. If there's asymmetry, you get the Harden/Martin swap instead.
I'm hoping for a bounceback defensive performance.
Lez go.
When does the auto refresh start?
Lets go SPURS!!!
Good to see GHill3 too. He's always gona have love here in San Antone.
traditional home whites back tonight. THANK YOU gaaawd!

Good start again. Let's hope they don't get complacent like they did in the last game.
