+1

Probably why Pop pushed him to workout with the corpse of Kobe.

[Kawhitstorm]

Hard to believe..

They are both from SoCal & live there in the summer.

more respect for Barnes, especially after handling that Fisher.

Seems like there's a lot of mutual respect here..Z-Bo calling the Spurs the best team in the NBA

Good, hopefully that means no attempted murders of our players by them. Just take the loss like champs

Everyone respects the Spurs. The only team I can see any animosity between is Spurs and OKC. They say nice things about each other but you get the feeling that they hate the OKC players.

For me it comes back to Durant dissing Kawhi and then having to publicly retract it but not really.... ya know?
I like Durant though.... the story of him to SA is ridiculous though. What we need is a nice guard coming up next season.

Durant's going to like Kawhi even less when he and his "system" bump KD from the All-NBA First Team. Every voting I've seen has Leonard and LeBron as the 1st team forwards.

Ready for the game to get started.

watching these other teams makes you appreciate pops system and the team in general. most of the games I've seen thus far haven't been pleasing on the eye

That depends on your rooting interest because of those teams look pretty damn good.

Standings on 7th and 2nd Ave. Gets pretty busy but you should be good by the time of the Spurs game.

Thanks, sugar s

Tony Parker said he's ready if Pop calls his number. He was banged up during the playoffs last year, but now he's feeling good and ready to roll. There will be times the Spurs need him to take over and become more of a penetrator to create shots for teammates.

STARTING LINEUP! (Grizzlies)

#4 Jordan Farmar
#9 Tony Allen
#22 Matt Barnes
#7 Chris Anderson
#0 JaMychal Green

Wow-- this line up is kind of like the '07 Cavaliers, without LeBron... feel bad for how decimated with injuries the team is.

[spursistan]

Yeah, that was great.
