So the Spurs lost last night to Dallas. Cheer up, little dude, it was Game 1--we're still on track. You know who else is on track? The mighty mighty Toros, that's who. Tonight is Game 2 of a 3-game series to determine who will advance to the D-League finals. Make the jump for a link to a (legal!) feed of tonight's game, highlights, and a little Gee love.
You can watch the game online via Futurecast (that name always makes me think of Minority Report; it sounds like the Precrime division decided to branch out into sports and start showing games before they're actually played, with the unintended consequence that sports then lose all meaning and disappear from the human experience, but I digress). There is a link to the Futurecast stream here.
By the way, y'all do know that Alonzo Gee got D-League Rookie of the Year honors, right? Past winners of this award are Utah Jazz guard/forward Othyus Jeffers (Iowa, 2008-09), Blake Ahearn (Dakota, 2007-08), Phoenix Suns forward Louis Amundson (Colorado, 2006-07), Detroit Pistons guard Will Bynum (Roanoke 2005-06), James Thomas (Roanoke 2004-05), Desmond Penigar (Asheville, 2003-04), Chicago Bulls guard Devin Brown (Fayetteville, 2002-03), and Fred House (Charleston, 2001-02).
Update: And in a new development today, the Vipers' Mike Harris was named D-League MVP.

Game 1 was fun to watch, even if I did bite my nails down to the skin. Are they going to be on Versus again?
REVENGE!
Doesn’t look like it. It seems crazy, but I don’t think the game is going to be televised at all.
I have flying monkeys at my disposal, and I'm not afraid to use them.
Go Toros Go!! Wish I could watch the game, but I’ve got an intramural playoff game of my own tonight. Be doing my best Curtis Jerrells impression! ;)

Aw MAN. Marcus Williams cut his hair.
We’re doomed.

The announcers said something about it and just now I saw his silhouette. Definitely no more Sideshow Bob.

Same here, but it’s not looking good. I wonder what the Toros biggest overcome deficit of the season has been?

squeaky is macgyvering his dreads apparently
Wow, the lead down from 16 to 8.
D-League is fun.

+1
according to scott schroeder on RU, its up to Spurs fans to get Toros on local TV because other D-league teams get tv coverage
Well . . . there’s a story behind that.
The Toros had a television contract this year and the broadcaster reneged, didn’t pay for a bunch of equipment rental and such, and so the whole thing collapsed. It was ugly. My housemate was the cameraman (part of the group the broadcaster screwed).

Yeah, okay, so here’s the story: Lone Star Productions was going to show the Toros games on a local cable company (not Time-Warner, maybe Grande or some such outfit). They subcontracted with an equipment and personnel company here in Austin, they did about three games, Lone Star wouldn’t pay anyone, so the subcontractor pulled out for breach of K. ::sad trombone::
Lone Star Productions is your bad guy.
Most (if not all) of the television broadcasts of D-League are straight off the Futurecast feed. The exception is when Versus will show the occasional game.

I’m off to watch HIMYM with my girlfriend and then I’ll be back
damn Bonner looks like he messed up his shoulder
And it’s still just the second quarter.
Cra-zee.

High scoring game, indeed.

Bulls grinding it out against the Cavs, currently tied at 74.
In Manu, we trust.

i just realized that is way better for the spurs to have lost game 1 than game 2…. it sucks for us fans to have to wallow in loss for 2 days but for the team, the players and coaches have more motivation into making improvements adjustments….the series speeds up after wednesday with 1 breaks between the rest of the games, so whenever we do win, dallas will have less time to recover
Chicago starting to fade a bit.

They better start to wake up now.

Gotta go find some food. Let’s see how that affects mojo. . . .

Too bad… I hope the Bulls take the next two games.
