Was this a memorable enough game for you, Mingus? Or, is Utah not a good enough team to count?
Devine intervention to make old legs new, closed minds open, and renewed faith that it will be done without injury or fail.

Reduce the mileage on Ginobili by 4 years.
One thing's for sure - we're in for a very interesting season.
Right now, we really look like the borderline playoff team the standings say we are. We can keep games close against really good teams like Boston or Denver (or Utah when playing at home), but somehow, we always fall short at the end.
One of the main problems in my opinion is that there are a lot of queation marks concerning certain players:
- Tony clearly is playing nowhere near the amazing level he reached last season. In all likelihood, he is not fully healthy. I have no doubt that he would soon be back to his best when regaining his physical strength - but can we really afford to rest him for a longer period right now?
- Manu looks like a good bench player who can occasionally have a very good game - but he doesn't look like Manu Ginobili. He seems to lack confidence in his game and his decisions. Hopefully, this will change as the season progresses.
- RJ really has to step up his D. It may sound strange, but I think the key to that is getting him more involved offensively - in the couple of games where he shined offensively and was getting a lot of touches, he looked much more active on the defensive end, as well. I still refuse to classify Jefferson as a bad fit for this team, but it's about time this team is starting to use him more and more efficiently - it's also about time RJ plays with more aggression and intensity.
For the time being, though, we should remember one thing:
- play a full 48 mins of bball
- keep with their defensive assignments
- stop turning the ball over by throwing it out of bounds or at the back of your teammate
What does this team need to do to play better??
Time.
great, great game by Bonner, but it's all part of what he does, which is play well against the average and good teams (Utah is good, but less so without Kirlenko and thier back up PG), and throw up stinkers against the Elite teams. Bonner isn't getting those shots against any of the Elite. i know that, you should know that. Boston last year was an abberation.
This is simple. If you are going to take plays off go sit down.
Our team looked tired at the end of the game. Tony looked pretty slow.
We need to get our heads out of our asses. LEt's go Spurs
