The three highest scorers in the game (21, 20, 18) play for Sacramento.

10 Spurs players could realistically be in double digits right now.

Spurs 1st team this season to win 2 back-to-back-to-back series.

Agree. I don't believe he has an injury either. Looks too relaxed on the bench.

OKC blew the game open against Phoenix so it looks like they will win as well. Clippers win also so things didn't work out to well tonight for the Spurs. Glad we got the W.

Win to win to win once again.

Averaged 30+ a quarter tonight.

Third game of a back to back to back, all on the road, and the Spurs shoot 58.8%.

I guess this puts the "OMG TEH SPURS SHOT SO GOOD AGAINST THE LAKERS! THEY NEVAR SHOOT CLOSE TO 60%" theory to rest.

spurs playing good basketball. i would love to hear some non-spurs, non-lakers rationale as to why the spurs aren't going anywhere come playoff time.

Anybody seen this article on SI? It's about the Spurs' big man problems.

Anyway, this really jumped out at me.

quote:
The Spurs have actually done quite well against post-up plays this season. They rank 10th in points allowed per possession on post-ups, and opponents devote about 10 percent of their possessions against San Antonio to post-up chances, a league-average rate, per Synergy Sports. Opposing players are shooting an almost-unbelievable 26.5 percent (18-of-65) man to man against Bonner in the post.


Bonner?? Really? How is this even possible?

While I'm surprised that % is that low, he has definitely improved his defense this year.

Pop has mentioned multiple times that this has been his best defensive season to date.

Go sandwich hunter go.

I'm going to go a little ghetto to explain why I loved the SJax acquisition.

Stephen Jackson has an edge, and he has balls the size of grapefruits. He was the only guy in the NBA crazy enough to actually FOLLOW Metta up into the stands.

If you don't think that's what the Spurs have needed all these years then we've nothing to talk about. He's the guy who scares the **** out of the other team because he can ball, but also because he can (and WILL) slap some *****es around too.

I will NEVER question having SJax on the court. He brings so much more than just putting the ball in the hoop. I absolutely LOVE the addition, and I'll STILL love it if he shoots 25% on the season.

Bonner said sometime this season that he really utilizes the scouting reports when playing defense. He attributes that to his success.

If they are able to pull it off this year, IMHO, his acquisition would have the catalyst for the run.

Not saying they couldn't have done it without him, but what you describe is spot on and it does wonders for team morale and mentality.

i don't necessarily know if the spurs need someone who the other team knows will jump off the bench and pecker slap them if they try and rough **** up, but i'll tell you what, kevin garnett and paul pierce wouldn't have acted like such a couple of badasses if they didn't have kendrick perkins back there to clean **** up.

Bonner has been playing a lot stronger on post defense, and sometimes you can see him beat the offensive player to the move. I've been impressed with what he has done on defense this year, although I still think his effectiveness will decrease significantly in the playoffs.

Manu didn't have a concussion. He had a small cut inside his ear. It required no stitches and he's fine.

This. Bonner withers under the lights. Moreso even than Jefferson ever did.

But he still spreads the floor which is important. I'm not going to lose faith in the guy.
