Congrats and well deserved.. now he needs to keep his game up at this level for the rest of the season. These next couple weeks will be very telling about the future of this team: whether it can't be too soon til we're in the lottery, or if one can confirm the whispers of contention for another le.
He didn't pass to Manu even once this week!
Tony has carried the Spurs this season. The OKC game was a reminder to the WC coaches that he remains among the best guards in the conference and has earned a spot on the All-Star team.
didn't see that Che created a thread befoe... sorry
no problem. just don't let the Committee find out. They might put you in a holding cell.
Congratulations Tony
congrats Tony
It's funny, because of Tony's recent great games - he's started to garnish attention from NBA fans who aren't familiar with the Spurs a whole lot. A lot of people think he's as old as Manu/Timmy ,around the 33-36 range. They are totally surprised when a wise spurs fan tells them he's actually 29.
big brother is watching us but I should be ok I didn't write any N, F or G words
The committee
suck on that es.
This award was a no-brainer. Great week for TP!
Well deserved, he had a fantastic week. TP has laid my worries to rest at this point and turned things around. I was really nervous there for a while. This is the level we need from him to have any hope at a playoff run.
deserved!
Thank you Westbrook's D
Upthere with Boobie Gibson and Nash
Ever wondered why other players don't light up Westbrook on any given night?
Because they dont have Bonner
Congrats to TP
