Horry had the hip adjustment issue last time around and this abdominal cont. hits his mid point making it hard to extend imo he'll be ok as long as his injuries don't involve his shooting arm he'll be ok but I get info from here and there so's my idea of extent of his hurts aren't scientific but dam his stats in big games are the stuff of science so my thoughts of RHorry, take care and save your good stuff for the call.

i think it was a bad desicion for Pops to let Horry play tonight. He shld have given him more rest.

[Clutch20]

ok,
105-103 Dallas wins
Who hit the winning shot?
Was it offa a possession or foul shots?

[milkyway21]

Dallas won at the line.

Yeah, you wonder how those things get done, did Horry straight-up ask Pop to let him play, how much consultation between team medical and trainers and Pop take place, and was it a game time decision?
Pop takes stands with other players concerning coming off of injuries to play, so you wonder why change his ways with Rob?

huh? no really, ref's decision?

[T Park]

Dallas won at the line.

sounds like games 3 and 4 last year.

hmmm.............

[Borosai]

Solid game.

[T Park]

I thought Elson in the second half played great defense.

Cut off guys driving, rotated very well.

The double screen to open Barry up at the beginning of the 3rd was a great design.

Finley's D was once again semi efficient.

Small ball wins another

Oh well, at least they won't clinch for another night.

At least they won't clinch until April.

Small ball seems to be much better with Elson and Duncan on the floor.

Great job Tony and Manu!

I liked ESPN's recap of the game:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=270330024

It's usually better than NBA.com's.

What about TP's stats over Deron?

TP: 23 pts, 9/17, 11 ass, 4 rb, 2st, 0 tos

Deron: 23 pts, 9/16, 5 ass, 3 rb, 0 st, 5 tos!!

Where are the folks saying Deron>Tony??

Uh, Deron's 2nd year. He really did not play much last year. So get a clue.

[Kori Ellis]

Deron is very good.

Tony and Manu were exceptional today.

Missed another 4th quarter tonight?

[Budkin]

Spurs ownage.... woot! Yeah I'm drunk right now... having my bday party... I love the Spurs! Wooot! Spurs 07 Champs baby!

[aaronstampler]

Deron is very good.

Is it me or is this the best the two of them have played in the same game all year? The whole big three really. I was very impressed by Tony's play today. If we could somehow bottle this...

It'd be lightning!

You mean the one that started with the Spurs up 13 until Elson got his fifth foul? Hitting threes to maintain a lead or to come back instead of playing defense is fool's gold. As much basketball as you watch, one would think some of the information would sink in eventually.

some here posted deron should have taken tp's place at asg

[SRJ]

Uh, Deron's 2nd year. He really did not play much last year. So get a clue.

He played in 80 games and averaged just under 29 minutes per game. That's really not much?

You have my permission to go get a clue.

When the Spurs needed a stop, they got one.

That Dallas/Pheonix fan talk right there sir,

[fitzgerald]

He did not start and Sloan had him on a short leash. He did not get free rains like Chris Paul did. This is his first year to start and run a team. So kiss it.

It wasn't long ago that Deron was attending his commencement at the University of Illinois.

He's one season removed from his rookie year. The fact that he's already being compared to TP and you seem incredibly happy that TP was better is a demonstration of how good Deron is, and will be.
