Awesome. Can't wait to play them.
One of my 'requirements' for a future husband about a year before I met SFIE was that he be a Spurs fan (or at least not actively opposed to me being a fan). It's a big part of our relationship.
I hope the future Mrs. SRJ knows and likes basketball. It would be nice to be with a woman that enjoys basketball. All of my ex-GFs hated it and didn't want me watching.
Of course, their anti-basketball stance was the least of their problems.
If you find someone who is at least open to learning about your interests, it's a good thing.

another close game. woo hoo
Shaq extended his arm jammed Manus face with his arm/elbow as GNob took it to the rack. Didnt jam him hard tho.
Old school hard foul but expected (old school expected) if you are taking the ball to the rack and the defending Center is right under it.
That and Shaq is unable to leave the ground.
Bruce before half agree, catch and shoot what was that Globetrotter crap?
That's true.
SECOND QUARTER
Tony Parker had 12 points in the first half as the Spurs took a 39-38 halftime lead over the Miami Heat on Wednesday at the AT&T Center.
Brent Barry hit a 3-pointer early in the second quarter, but the Spurs' offense went cold after that. They made only one basket over the next five minutes.
Tim Duncan, Francisco Elson and Parker each had a basket in the last 3:34 of the half. The Heat looked effective in their defensive effort to keep the Spurs out of the lane in the second quarter.
FIRST QUARTER
Tony Parker got on a roll in the middle of the first quarter to guide the Spurs to a 23-21 lead over the Miami Heat at the end of the period on Wednesday at the AT&T Center.
The Spurs started clicking on offense when Parker started attacking the basket. His first points came on a driving basket with 8:39 left in the first quarter after the Heat had grabbed a 7-2 lead. Parker added two more driving baskets at the 7:23 mark and 6:01 mark.
Parker hit a 3-pointer that beat the shot clock buzzer and put the Spurs in front 15-13 with 5:18 left in the first quarter.
Manu Ginobili entered the game with 6:48 left in the quarter and made back-to-back baskets a few minutes later. He scored on a fast break off a pass from Parker, then hit a 3-pointer to put the Spurs in front 20-13.
Even though you know how big Shaquille O'Neal is, it's always interesting to see how he compares to a player you see more often. Spurs starter Fabricio Oberto is listed at 6-foot-10, 245 pounds. He looks really small while defending O'Neal.
O'Neal was effective using his size to draw fouls early. Oberto was called for his second foul with 8:22 left in the first quarter and was replaced by Francisco Elson. Tim Duncan was called for a shooting foul on O'Neal at the 7:57 mark. Duncan picked up his second foul at the 7:03 mark.
Oberto, Francisco Elson, Duncan and Matt Bonner all took turns defending O'Neal in the first quarter. Bonner is probably one of the few people who will both play defense on O'Neal and shoot 3-pointers -- Bonner hit a long ball for the Spurs' final points of the first quarter. O'Neal scored only three points in the first quarter and Duncan had two.

I do like close games because I think it is a key part of the learning process. And more interesting.
Manu starting the 3rd
i will be curious to see the attendance of AT&t center manana
how come Manu was pissed at Jason Williams?
I mean Oberto can't leave the ground. Nice facial, Snaq.
jeez Manu
I'm glad Gino started, but I'd love for him to hit his FTs
Manu tres!
I think Manu is pissed off at the Heat
Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ginobili is hot, and im not talkin bout his shooting right now
Manu 3
Gnob coast to coast and now the jumper. Sweet.
Hey on Snaqs bunnyhop hoop, i thought bunnyhops were outlawed.
The '05 Manu is back.
Bodes well for us.
wow. what happened between davis and manu?
Yeah. I agree with the offensive foul call. Sadly.
Another offensive foul on Manu
WTF
Nice ball movement, but it would have been nice if Timmy could have saved it.
Sucks that it went against the Spurs, but I'm just glad the refs actually called one of those. You shouldn't be able to body check someone in the air and have a foul called against them.
