Wawawiwa!!!
Duncan drove to the rack and scored.
not bad for a team w/o manu and tony
Yeah, the FSN broadcast showed a very uneasy hug between Beno and Pop after the game. They both looked like they wanted to puke.
he was making those shots regularly in college. Welcome to the league
Good win...again, nothing to get too excited about, Sacramento is usually a team we're expected to beat. Good job Spurs.
and we get the win!!!
we're up by 2 1.8 seconds left and Douby fired a contested 3
And I don't blame either of them. Beno's got every right to hate Pop.
ooh la la king in the castle
dude used up all his lungs shouting that out. Championship level material![]()
LOL I was laughing at that too.
Why does Ric Renner wear that ridiculous, ruggy wig?
Thanks for the links guys.. I appreciated it.
we got the 8th seed whoooooooo.. in november
3-1 without Parker and Ginobili, and the only loss came down to the last shot..have to be proud of this team right now..

PREGAME
Spurs starters: George Hill, Roger Mason Jr., Michael Finley, Tim Duncan and Fabricio Oberto.
New Spurs guard Blake Ahern is in uniform and active for tonight's game.
The Spurs beat the Kings in seven of their last eight meetings. The Spurs could use another victory against the Kings tonight to build some momentum following Friday's victory over the Houston Rockets.
A victory tonight would also get the Spurs off to a good start in the first game of a road back-to-back. The Spurs are in Los Angeles on Monday for a 9:30 p.m. game against the Clippers.
The Kings had won four of five games before losing to the Suns on Friday.
Sacramento's Kevin Martin, who has been known to give the Spurs fits, is averaging a team-high 22.4 points per game. He hasn't played since Nov. 9. He is expected to miss tonight's game due to a left ankle sprain.
On Wednesday night, former Spurs guard Beno Udrih scored a career-high 30 points to lead the Kings to a 103-98 victory over the Clippers. Udrih is averaging 11.8 points and 4.1 assists.
A note on another former Spur: Robert Horry spent part of Sunday afternoon at a restaurant near the Spurs' practice facility having lunch and watching football.
Gotta love defense. 103-99 games suck ass.
We held the Kings to 45%, by the start of the fourth quarter they were shooting about 52%. This team is great.
Vaughn and Bonner played absolutely well.
Tim with an exact 20-10 game tonight. Glad he got back to his rebounding numbers. 'Twas annoying to hear people question his heart.
Good win for the Spurs, they gutted it out. But I do wish that they would stop getting themselves in holes and having to fight tooth and nail to win the games. I wish we could just put a team away for once.
