i didn't know that. I was thinking there are actually 13 slots for active players in the playoffs. They changed the rules since when?
Very good...he drove across the lane, avoided one defender, drew contact in the post and shielded the ball from block, and laid it off the glass on the other side of the rim.

FWIW, Jackie's two buckets were good as well. He got a feed from JV and waited patiently for Petro to commit before drawing the foul and laying it in strong....BTW, he made the FT and looked good doing it. His second bucket came after he missed a free throw line jumper, got the ball back after an offensive rebound (by Bon-Bon or Fab) and scooped it to avoid the block off the glass.
White looked better defensively tonight, and Butler looked great.
Butler looked unreal in how thin he is compared to October.
it's true, i saw it online. can't find where though.
Just sped-read thru the game blog tonite, dam, y'all one dysfunctional family
yeah, alright, some of my contentions popped up, namely:
White MOVES without the ball, all that motion by him stirs up the rest of our team, making the opposition have to work harder
Anything is better than the flood of 3's that killed our O last game, the passing that the 3rd team executed just made more sense in terms of keeping scoring options open
someone said the Killer Bees were Barry, Bowen and Bonner
does that make Bonner, Beno and Butler the Bumble Bees?(alright, enough of that)
and thinking about that lineup for the last minutes of the game, gonna post something I placed here a few weeks ago, someone here who posted about Bruce Bowen's reputation smasher performance...................

Re: Bruce Bowen is overrated
On the other hand, how many other opposing coaches and their staff are ??"wondering"?? wtf is Pop and his staff "up to".
Sweet. Just got back from the game, traded in 2 upper level tix for a 6th row floor seat, sat right in front of Kevin Durant.
Durant didn't like getting showed on the jumbotron thats for sure.
for a big that would play opposite of Duncan next year, I like that in a big.Butler didn't call for the ball or establish position in the post often enough...not aggressive, too willing to defer to others. He only really shined when other Spurs (Vaughn, Bonner) set him up. I'm not saying anything about this kid's long-term potential with the team, but he's got some work to do.
Get the junk or the leftovers. Rebound and defend.
Yeah, but the dude sure didn't mind signing autographs. He must have signed about 1000 of them, along with 100s of pictures

That was passive play?

The NBA is changing the way teams are seeded in the postseason, looking to avoid the controversy that surrounded last season's playoffs.
Starting in the upcoming season, the top four seeds -- the three division winners and the second-place team with the best record -- will be seeded according to their win-loss total, guaranteeing that the top two teams in each conference can't meet until the conference finals, the league announced Wednesday.
The NBA had given the top three seeds to division winners regardless of record, meaning a second-place team could not do better than the No. 4 seed, even if it had a better record than a division champion.
That rule came under fire last season when division rivals San Antonio and Dallas were forced to meet in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, even though the second-place Mavericks had a far better record than division champions Phoenix or Denver.
Dallas knocked off the first-place Spurs in a thrilling matchup of 60-game winners, capturing Game 7 on the road in overtime.
The league's board of governors also voted to expand the postseason rosters to 15, instead of 13, with 12 players active for each game. That duplicates the rule used in the regular season.
The NBA champion Miami Heat were among those that criticized the policy that forced teams to carry fewer players in the playoffs than during the season.
Also, if a team has two 60-second timeouts left in the final two minutes of regulation or in overtime, one will be reduced to a 20-second timeout. Teams will now have two 60-second timeouts and one lasting 20 seconds in overtime, instead of three one-minute timeouts. Clubs will no longer be permitted to carry over a 20-second timeout from regulation into overtime.
"Our owners are intent on making the playoff seeding more fair for all teams going forward and in quickening the pace of the end of games," NBA executive vice president Stu Jackson said in a statement. "The board also thought it made sense to allow teams to utilize the same 15-man roster in the playoffs that they use during the regular season."
Good win for the Spurs tonight. With the way they've played since February 11 (20-3), Phoenix should be a win on Thursday too.
Why does NBA.com never get the Spurs' part in the standings right? Someone there doesn't like the Spurs. It's says they're 52-21 and have lost 2 in a row. Idiots.
What game were you watching? Butler called for the ball on two or three possessions in a row, did an awesome job of sealing, was aggressive and looked fabulous.
Go re-watch the tape if you have it.
Didn't get to see this game because I was in a fraternity meeting, then went to have a few drinks with my bros. Did White and Butler get much PT, and how did they do?
Congrats to the Spurs on another dominant performance, looks like they didn't take this game lightly even considering the opponent.
No matter what happens this season I am feeling good about our next few years with White and Butler coming around.
You know what the difference was between the Sonics game and the Pacers game? Execution. Nothing to do with small ball, Pop, etc. It's on the players - when they come out and execute they defeat inferior teams.
So stop your ing about the coaching after every ing loss.
What I like about White is he's not afraid to take the ball to the hole and get fouled.
like this? Right!
i was wondering why those two Sonics just stood there and watched?
He's good at drawing fouls.
White has the ability to get suspended in the air for about 2.5 seconds and lay-up. Kinda like Carter.

Already chalking it up as a win?? Start a thread stating that...PLEASE
You hit the nail on the head with that post.
Hey smart guy, Dallas is 1-5 vs GS since the beginning of the 2005-2006 season.*adds this one to Jeff's list of genius quotes*
