Go Spurs Go.

thanks God

An 86-83 win. I can live with that.

[mVp]

Mason saved our asses... our offense was crap down the stretch.

[peskypesky]

Nice. I'm glad Duncan's performance wasn't wasted.

tell me about it. that would've been a waste of a UVA game by the GOAT.

The morning started off badly (Bills lose, I started eating a crappy apple) but it's getting better (Spurs win, now I'm eating tasty animal crackers).

what i dont get in this situation.. is vaughn better than hill defensively or is it just because of his experience pop wants him

Vaughn's no slouch on defense and he knows where he needs to be. In other words, he's less likely to make a mistake than the rookie is. And even though his offense is absolutely abysmal, he does continue to keep them moving somewhat. That would be my guess. George is learning the hardest position in basketball on the fly with a cobbled rotation.

The rest of the league is ting their pants right now.

I tell you what no one maybe not even the Lakers wants a healthy Spurs in 2nd round matchup ...as a Laker fan i hope we meet in the wCF and not before ...Spurs will be a tough out if Mason cann add to the big 3 conistently in the playoffs

[ShoogarBear]

now mason is going to foul kaman when he goes in for a layup.

[Admidave50]

Nice winning streak, Finley and Mason were good. I didn't realize that Hill had 8 assists!!

If it makes you feel any better, you just gave away the football game to me. I was just about to go watch it.

Mason Jr. is a great fit with this team.

When Tony and Manu get back...we're going to be a force again. Hill and Mason are looking like great additions. And Finley is showing flashes of excellence. If we can just get one other big man besides Tim to contribute...

[Darkwaters]

Too close for a win against the Clips. But still, I'll take it.

Nice clutch shot by Mason to put the game out of reach.

[mVp]

Well... 3 in a row... who woulda thought?

[Killakobe81]

The rest of the league is ting their pants right now.

Easy i just gave mad props and said you guys will be a tough matchup come playoff time but ting our pants? At least not Laker fans maybe the Suns, Hornets and Rockets are ...

[Josh810]

Tell me you saw Ricky Davis mouth "Come on, " right before Mason drove right and sunk the three. Watch it again anyone with DVR.

[Texas_Ranger]

3 in a row...WAWAWIWA!! Happy times!

thanks, thats what i figured... because I didn't think he was making many mistakes when he got yanked, but he also wasn't controlling things like he should be

[Darkwaters]

I saw the 8 assists by Hill. Considering his scoring wasn't there it's nice to see that his passes at least were.

The O_V vBookie curse continues.

Hill made some sweet passes. So sweet that I'll go out on a limb and say that I think he may already be a better passer than Parker. He just has the instinct and court vision that Parker lacks.

[Manufan909]

Hill was 0-5, 2-2 FT, 2pts, 5 rbs, 8 ass, 1 st, 1 TO, not horrible for a rook in his 8th game or whatever.

I really hate having Tim forced to play 40 min a game for them to win. Poor guy...

[Dex]

20 - 15 - 6.

Looks like Tim put in an a little overtime at the office today.

[tp2021]

Spurs 86-77

Dangit.

Oopsy! Did I say the Bills lost? I meant they won with a game-winning FG.
