Spurs win ... Lakers lose ... have a good night

and I am gonna puke if Manu gets a better Quick Grade than a C-

Lakers lost? Seriously?

[peskypesky]

Blair is starting to remind me of Malik Rose. A little undersized for a PF - but a big, strong body and and a LOT of heart!

i think he's better than Malik

Love that hug of Timmy on Blair. Those guys communicate really well, on and off the court. Lotsa love there.

Sweet moment. Duncan has been mentoring him, really took him in. Looks like it's good for both of them.

Lakers lost? Seriously?

Yep - they lost to the Bulls in Chicago.

How the Spurs won that by 16 is beyond me

We started 6-14 at the FT line, then went 10-11 to close the game. And it helps when you shoot 48% from the 3P line for the game. Did we miss a 3-pointer in the 4th?

[peskypesky]

How bout the fact Duncan played like zero minutes in the 4th.

ing icing on the cake!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

of a win!

Nice to see Manu and Duncan just sitting there while we closed out the game.

[peskypesky]

talk about a ing arsenal of weapons! Pop is gonna ing mow down the NBA.

On nba.com: Hawks seek their first win in San Antonio since 1997 - NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!

[smeagol]

No TD and no Manu in the closing minutes . . .

[LeCrab]

That was amazing to watch love rj and parker

I dont know what to think about it. Is Duncan hurt, or Pop didn`t want to break this lineup and run

not even close

Seriously though, was that Manu's worst effort so far this season? I haven't seen all the games. Save for a few Manu moments, he seemed very out of it tonight.

He got moments.

Hill playing so well and soaking up minutes is a great thing.

[janetcn12]

Yes, Hill has improved a lot

Definitely not injury related. Most likely D Blair was too good to take out.

Tim was jumping up and down on the bench cheering our boys throughout the 4th.

[black/silver rook]

good win, lakers lose, good night!

[Crookshanks]

Spurs only scored 18 points in the 3rd quarter - but then scored 37 in the 4th. Great, great effort!

It seems wrong to call it Manu's worst game when he scored 18 points, and tied Jefferson for high point man. But, yeah, I think it was his worst game in all the other categories. I guess that's the opposite of the nights when he can't get a shot to fall, but still contributes everywhere else.

I really think the lack of whistles got in Manu's head tonight. I kept watching him lean in, trying to draw fouls, and he didn't get them. And in the second half, especially, it looked like he was trying to force the refs to make a call in his favor. He wound up not passing to the open man a bunch of times, and I think it had a big effect on his shots because he was leaning in stead of shooting.
