Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs @ New Jersey Nets

San Antonio Spurs @ New Jersey Nets
Prudential Center, Newark, NJSaturday, Feb. 11th, 2012, 7 PM Spurs Time
TV: FSSW - RADIO: 1200 WOAI
It's Saturday, and our Spurs are rolling into the Prudential Center for their only match up of the season against the New Jersey Nets. Our guys have won six straight, beating Memphis twice, the Houston Rockets, the New Orleans Hornets, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and most recently, the Philadelphia 76ers, who were torched at home by our own Tony Parker, continuing his All Star bid with 37 points. Fresh off of two days rest, what do the Spurs bring to the table tonight?
Friday Funnies - TJ v. Manu for the GQ Look
In honor of Manu's imminent return, here's a comic look at the contrasting fashion of TJ Ford and Manu as they sat together behind the bench. TJ started off rockin' the suit and tie, but as time has progressed he has come around the Manu's casual chic look. Here's my six-frame take on what was said the first night they sat together: Manu in black velveteen sport coat, jeans, and open-collared shirt, and TJ in a light brown suit with coordinating shirt and tie.
Be sure to read how this all worked out on the Road Trip at the end of the post.

Today is the first day of its kind in the season. It's a second day in a row without a Spurs game. Pop doesn't run a practice for the team unless there are at least two days off between games, which means that they're likely going 5 on 5 today, full court, and Manu Ginobili is being tested by his teammates, evaluated by the coaches, and hovered over by the trainers. There's no new news to be expected today, so it's the perfect time for me to hearken back to my earliest memories of growing up in Houston, Texas as a fan of the NBA, and share with you a story that I've been wanting to write for a long time.

RT @JMcDonald_SAEN: Pop says Manu is in for Jersey. Likely to come off the bench. Minutes limit? "Not many."
Having (a little too much) fun during the Spurs winning streak
Thank you Dallas Mavericks. Thank you for blowing us out so severely that Pop was compelled to use a lineup composed of James Anderson, Matt Bonner, Danny Green, Gary Neal and Tiago Splitter. The rest was history. I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you Mark Cuban. You made this possible.
Tony Parker named to the Western Conference All-Star team
Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge and Russell Westbrook headlined the reserves for the Western Conference All-Star team.
Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Steve Nash and Marc Gasol rounded out the West roster, which was announced Thursday.
Congrats TP!!!
Carmelo Anthony: "Defense Is Hard!"
Orlando- Area reporters at the New York Knicks shootaround on Tuesday afternoon were treated to an impromptu and somewhat candid interview with star forward Carmelo Anthony who, while cajoling his teammates from the sidelines, admitted to reporters that "defense is really hard, dog."
