Here is another angle.That play in your avatar was pretty sick. Ginobili has some street baller in him he lets out every once in a while.
I think I saw Pop yelling at Eddie F. Rush last night. It was nice to see that.
I thought the game was pretty physical. All of our big three took some tough shots from the T-Wolves. Manu and Tim especially got pissed and played with a chip on their shoulder the rest of the game.

wow... just wow.Here is another angle.
Txs Manu
And if that would've done by other non-Spurs player would've been the steal of the night, the assist of the night and the play of the night, compare it with each of the winners. Heck, it did not even make a top ten play!!! (in nba.com)
wow..an off balance behind the back dribble. He shoulda been stripped of that ball.
Then people would say Stern loves the Spurs too much.
I'd prefer Spurs'd not be in the top 10 everyday.. although I think they could.
If Manu were on the Suns, Nash would be an afterthought.
And the Hate for Bonner continues. Losers.
Maybe you've seen something I haven't. I see him TAKE shots with defense draped all over him... but I haven't seen him make a lot of those shots. Seems like he only hits when he shoots in rhythm these days.
I see him frequently attempt mid-range fall-away jumpers... but I can't remember actually ever seeing one fall.
Don't get me wrong, I like Finley, but I just can't think of many instances where he's been able to connect with the defense all over him.
Here is another angle.
Sebastian Telfair elbowed Manu at the end of that play... it should have been an and-1.
BTW I don't know if this was mentioned, but I was impressed with the objectivity of the Timberwolves' TV analysts... they've been pretty much the least homeristic analysts I've heard in quite sometime. They had nothing but praise whenever the Spurs executed their plays...
Not lately, but he's made some big ones in the past. And the fact that he's not just a spot-up 3pt jumpshooter makes the defense respect the other pieces of his game...that is, if he's hitting those other shots.
I'm not disagreeing with you at all. He's been VERY streaky of late...and not in a good way. His streakiness is actually one of the reasons I don't believe he'll be brought back after this season.
They had their moments...
They praised the offensive and defensive execution of the Spurs down the stretch, but at the same time they were VERY critical of the refs....in fact, they even suggested that the refs had determined the outcome of the game at one point.
But that's because the refs screwed up on both sides... They made the comment your referenced only to follow by saying that the "Spurs could rise above all that."
I mentioned the same thing earlier in the game blog.
Having had LP for years, I've heard them all.
The Minny guys are okay by me.
I also like Kevin Calabro (sp?) of Seattle.
I can't stand the Boston and Miami callers, I usually end up muting them.
All color guys are homers, it's their job. But I appreciate it when they can give it up for the opponent and last night the Minny guys did so several times. They used the phrase "A thing of beauty" on a couple of Parker's moves and a few of Manu's.
Parker is passing very well and is including everyone on the team. For a good while it seemed like he could only pass to Timmay. For whatever reason before this season he didn't show much of his ability to distribute the ball. It's great to see that he's improving his long range shooting and passing at the same time, two things that seemed very unlikely a few years back. Perhaps he has enough confidence in his overall game (specifically his jump shooting) now and doesn't have to prove anything to himself. Who knows.
Madsen was a total goon out there last night (as was Sebastian to a lesser degree with Manu.) He has no skill other than elbows. Total football player mentality to the game. Madsen reminds me of that YMCA dude on the commercials who is always chasing Mamba around from arena to arena. I think Randy realized that Tim was going to foul him out within the next 3 minutes so he just kept him on the bench, which was probably for the best but it denied me the pleasure of seeing Tim work him over.
Overall, great game to pull out.
