Bull .

Good win, not sure why MAson was benched though. Pop better not be putting him in the doghouse becuase he wont be the PG he want him to be.

Well, that's just a disappointment that we'll all have to learn to live with !

[Ice009]

Alright I will say it now TP is E L I T E.

[Crookshanks]

Shooting 72 % from the field, OMG !

Wow !

Yeah - he was pretty amazing. It was hilarious to hear the Hawks announcers going crazy about Tony. I would've loved to hear Sean and Bill tonight.

tony was an absolute beast, great win!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Hydrate that man! numba 9

+ 1

After 33 and 10 last night 42 and 10 tonite !!!! man it's so good to be a TP homer sometimes

[45 bank shot]

now if we can work something out with the backup PG, we'll get a pretty decent team here

[SpursPreacher]

Wow that was pure heart and hustle.TP was the man and manu was as i expected a little rusty but its a start and soon he will be back in kick booty manu mode.

[Spursmania]

Great game for the Spurs.

Because of Tony we get a win tonight without Tim against the Hawks in Atlanta. Yet, we barely beat Golden State at the AT&T center and win by 1 point?

Big difference in play tonight !

Yesterday TP played his usual 33 minutes, today almost 40. He played the whole 4th quarter, and if the rest of the game is an indication if he had been on the bench at any point in the 4th the Spurs would have blown the lead yet again. That's the difference (and almost flawless FT shooting tonight).

wow such a compliment coming from Ice TP did something good ?

[Ice009]

I think it's disgusting and pathetic how he was thrown under the bus by the media and labeled as selfish when Marion and Amare are both 100x as selfish as he is and neither one is as good.

There's this at ude by the Phoenix media that when the Suns FO makes a dumb moves that if they make up stuff and slander the player the Suns traded or make up skills that the player the Suns traded for/drafted has even though he doesn't have them, it somehow makes the trade good.

Sorry that you guys had to trade him. I thought he was great against the Spurs when he came back in game 3 or 4 in that series in 2005. He played his ass off.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Alright I will say it now TP is E L I T E.

no doubt that he is one of the very best players in the entire league.

What a beast !

Talk about manning up !

# 9 !

[Spooky]

TP is a beast!

[Spurtacus]

Great win tonight. I was reluctant to watch the game...games I've watched recently meant losses.

TP is the Spurs MVP this year.

[Manufan909]

Huge win. Big time.

No Duncan, limited minutes for Ginobli.

Parker was unbelievable. Nice contributions from Finley, Mason, Thomas, and Bonner. Gooden wasn't bad in limited minutes either.

Indeed. Curious why Matt only shot one 3, but 8 and 7 on 50% FG is commendable, for him it's sensational. And Gooden was great in 24 mins, but he didn't grab alot of boards, especially for him.

Not going to complain but wtf finley and bonner with 39 min ?

Don't you think the defensive intensity is better in the games with out TD since TD sat out at first? It's very weird. Some of the games with TD the defense is bad. That's not a knock on Tim though. I think guys relax more when he is there.

[Death In June]

Tony should not be playing this many minutes this close to the playoffs. This game could have been managed so much better.

[de Soto]

TP is the premier NBA PG at the moment. Period.

Too late. And they were both positives tonight, so it's alright. Did you watch the whole game?

I will admit I wish Hill could've taken 10-15 mins from Fin when TP was out. Hope a semi-nonrusty Manu will get Hill back in the rotation where we all think he should be.

I think you hit the nail on the head. People think that they can just make defensive lapses and Tim will erase them all. I think that happens with Finley and Mason.


Without Tim, everyone is aware that Tim is absent and that they will have to play good team defense.

And it's noticeable.

Good catch !

[SpursPreacher]

I think manu coming back even though he is not manuish yet was a great moral boost to the team.
