Manu might be out, Jack might be back.

Thunder looked good. Definitely the better basketball team right now.

The Spurs played with a lot of effort in the second half tonight. The past few games Timmy has been doing all the work on defense and rebounding. Have to play sharper on defense and stop turning the *&^% ball over.


Tim Duncan with 31 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals, and a partridge in a pear tree. What a player.


EDIT: nice catch

If the Spurs played with that type of effort all game they would have won the game. No doubt about it. Fought back hard late but it wasn't enough. Not enough guys played well to win. We still look tired out there. Glad were coming home for 4 games. Very needed at this point.

Duncan is a monster and we desperately need Kawhi back.

Franchise record 20 threes made. Great to have Kawhi back, he brings so much to this team.

Agree. Great to have Kawhi back. He gives us the defensive identity we've been missing. It's unfortunate about his tendinitis. That's usually a chronic thing. It's something that will affect him his whole career. He needs to be pumped with some stem cells stat.

Neal strained his right calf last night. That's okay by me. He's been forcing it way too much lately. Plus, more time for Nando. I love watching that dude play.

Man, can't remember the last time the big three all put up big numbers. Good to see.

All-Star point guard Tony Parker became the first Spurs player chastised under the NBA’s new anti-flopping policy, receiving an official warning for what the league deemed an acting job in the first half of Friday’s 122-116 win over Houston.

Got to watch the Spurs play live for the first time ever yesterday at AA. It was a great Christmas gift.

Spurs and Pop sending message to the Nets that they should not have fired Avery.

Does Jack look a little frustrated lately to anyone else?

Good short read about the Spurs and their passing. Some really interesting quotes from Pop.

Manu should get one possession at the beginning of every game to show whether he gets to touch the ball again that night, because you can usually tell pretty early whether he's going to play well or terribly. He was atrocious yesterday. So many wasted possessions.

Didn't realize until Sean said it, but Vasquez is third in the league in assists with 9.0 a game. I never would have thought.

Spurs cannot by a shot from beyond the arc tonight. Credit the Hornets. They are playing tough.

Spurs are reportedly signing Aron Baynes (an Australian Big who's thought to be the best big in Europe) to a multi-year deal. I know absolutely nothing about this guy.
Sher Thing

Yeah, Spurs sign Aron Baynes. Played at Washington State and obviously has the Australian team connection with Bret Brown and Patty Mills.

Looks like a 3 yr deal with a team option on the 2nd and 3rd year. He averaged 14 pts 10 boards in Europe last season. The Spurs are obviously high on him considering the guaranteed contract and the $400,000 buyout they had to pay to get him here.

He's listed around 6 foot 11 and seems to be a good defender with great rebounding skills. Also looks pretty athletic for his size.

Here's some highlights of him.

Obviously the writing is on the wall for Blair and I don't expect him to be a Spur for much longer. Seems like a great signing and something we really needed.

Wow he can really get up.
