Go Spurs!
Manu, don't worry. The Church will stand vigil til you get your groove back. We'll wait. We believe. Have a great game.Ginobili: I don't know if it's more my body or my head, but something is holding me back.

So who's all gonna be in the chatroom tonight?
San Antonio (5-1) at Washington (4-1)
Game Info: 7:00 pm EST Sat Nov 12, 2005
TV: NBATV, CSNB
The San Antonio Spurs look to end an impressive road trip on a winning note as they visit the Washington Wizards.
San Antonio, which finished 21-20 away from the SBC Center en route to the NBA le last season, improved to 3-1 on its first trip after Tim Duncan had 29 points and 12 rebounds in a 103-82 victory at Boston on Friday night.
Point guard Tony Parker continued his impressive start to the season, adding 23 points for the Spurs
Parker has scored at least 20 points in five of the Spurs' six games, and is averaging 22.5 while shooting 58.2 percent, a considerable improvement over the 11.9 points on 37.8 percent shooting he averaged at the same point during his first four seasons.
"I see Tony as somebody who's trying to prove a point," Spurs coach Greg Popovich said. "He's been fire since the season started, all through training camp ... He's probably our most consistent player right now."
Washington responded well after its first loss of the season, pounding Seattle 137-96 on Friday night, behind Gilbert Arenas' 32 points. Caron Butler scored 24 points and Antawn Jamison added 19 and 11 rebounds for the Wizards, who hadn't broken 100 points this season before reaching the mark with 2:04 left in the third quarter.
It was the first time since a Feb. 22, 2000, game against Milwaukee that Washington scored at least 100 before the fourth quarter.
"There's no sympathy in this league ... not for a team that came in here limping a little bit," Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said.
This will mark the first time Washington has played home games on consecutive nights since March 4-5, 2003.

Correction: Obviously NBA tv's blackout was just a ruse to upset me.
NBA tv has it.
So, I second your wish, but don't know if it is realistic against this team in their building.

Guide on DVR gave no place other than NBA which was listed as a blackout.
DVR Guide is behind the channel 7 I think.

They are holding opponents to 38.7% shooting, the lowest in the NBA?
