It's preseason, okay? We rested TD the whole second half while Scott Brooks played KD 40 minutes; 12 Spurs logged double minutes - only 8 OKC players did. Our starters looked good - lots of fast break points and good rebounding, and Manu found his shot tonight (pre-game words of encouragement from a fan): 6 of 9 (5 of 7 3's), but, unusual for him, he did not shoot a free throw tonight.

Let's start with my favorite shot of the night: "Here Everything's Better" - Thanks for the slogan, HEB, and thanks for posing in front of it, Manu.

The Spurs rotated the assignment of guarding Durant, but Manu did a great job against him. Here's three pics of the battle between them.

The cool, shiny Nikes belong to ME, and they got even COOLER before game time when Manu signed them.

I bought them on the way to the game at the Nike outlet in San Marcos - they're not Kobe's style, but that's fine with me.
