Patty Mills really did save the day.

Cousins is such a child. Duncan really made him look like a chump. Loved it.

It must be really trying to be a Sacremento fan and have to root for him.

Yea, Patty was great.

Also, it'll be nice to have Tony and Manu playing like they can. That'll help the offensive end a lot.

TD with 22 points tonight. Spurs move to 6-1 with win over Portland. Neal with a big night.

Spurs are 6-1 and aren't even playing good basketball. That's scary.

When will people learn not to anger Timmy? He made it look like 2005 again... MVP Duncan vs. 15-year old Demarcus Cousins. What was it, 2 blocks, 2 steals, 6 points and a dunk all on Cousins in the last 5 minutes of the game?

Cousins just showed up at my office. It was really awkward.

DeMarcus Cousins? Or several of your aunt and uncle's kids?
Ulrich

Both, actually, that's why it was so awkward. Thanks for making a scene in front of my family, d**k.

Pop doing what he did last season; starting Tim and Tiago to match Gasol and Howard.
Ulrich

Am I watching through homer glasses or has Howard set 3 straight moving screens? Just turned the game on.

Nice play at the end.

Probably should have beaten them pretty easily though.

You know it's november when a seven footer pulls up for a contested game winning three pointer.

Holy crap. Spurs pull another one out in the road. Terrible shooting night. Still get the win.

Danny Green with the giant balls.

Also, Kawhi with great D on Kobe on the last possession.

Really still on the game that really says the Spurs are back, but they keep winning so it's hard to get too worried this early.
Ulrich

*still waiting on the game that says they are back

The Spurs are slowly getting it back. Nowhere near where they need to be and part of that is because Manu just looks horrible. Turnovers are way to high but they are still trying to get back into that offensive groove that stormed the league last season. It's not like they can just flip a switch.

The defense and rotations have been the brightest spots and some of that has to do with the offense taking a bit of a hit. Letting Splitter get more minutes and playing DeJuan over Bonner will hurt the offensive #z to a small degree. On the other hand, our defense looks much improved compared to last season and that was the biggest thing keeping the Spurs out of the Finals last season.

Going 3-1 on that west coast road trip isn't easy either. While they have a ways to go I really like the path Pop is taking with this team. Blazing through the league with that offense we had last year won't lead to a 'ship unless our defense improves tremendously and it seems that has been the focus of the season so far.

"After Gasol unsurprisingly missed just the 117th 3-point attempt of his 12-year NBA career, Tiago Splitter's hustle prevented the Lakers from controlling the rebound before the buzzer sounded on Los Angeles' first game since hiring D'Antoni late Sunday night."

Go Spurs Go!!

only when playing for the spurs.

most teams expect their third year players to put up or ship out at this point, but when pop is your coach, you're just now getting your turn.

Can we talk about Manu? Is he hurt?

When was the last time Manu wasn't in a close game with 2 minutes left?

I don't believe he is hurt. I guess since he is struggling so much, Pop left him on the bench?
Ulrich

The Spurs need some blowouts so he can start playing the whole second half. He needs game time to sharpen up... too many preventable turnovers and trying way too many dumb passes.

Says pop.

"The big deal is, it's all about players. We're trying to get Manu his rhythm back.


I hope it's just a rhythm thing. The guy had a great Olympics. You wouldn't think he would regress that much.

Didn't Manu struggle early in the year last season? I'm hoping he just needs some time to get into game shape and the flow of Spurs offense.
Enzo The Baker

Actually Manu got off to a great start last season. He probably would have been an All-Star if it wasn't for his broken hand.

I just hope his back is okay. This might be Robinson all over again.
Sher Thing

Manu's back is bothering him and I think he's thinking about it too much when on the court. He is definitely out of sorts right now though.
