• DeJuan Blair starts, along with Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Stephen Jackson, and Boris Diaw
• Spurs being eaten by Jameer Nelson -- they are daring him to drive to the rim, and he does, and is successful.
• Danny Green and Gary Neal come in for Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili midway through the quarter.
• Spurs continue to struggle defensively, giving the Magic a lot of easy opportunities in the paint.

End of the 2nd: Spurs 41 - Magic 50

• Derrick Brown starts the 2nd quarter at PF.
• 8:45 into the quarter and not a lot of action from Brown.
• Tony Parker re-enters for the quarter
• A lack of offensive presence comes at a bad time. A long space in time where the Spurs struggled to get the ball through the basket.
• The Spurs were very sloppy with the basketball, barely present for defense. Spurs fall behind 41-50

Derrick Brown starts 2nd quarter at PF

Derrick Brown starts as PF. This is important because we are under the assumption that Pop is evaluating the final roster spot between Eddy Curry and Derrick Brown

End of the 1st: Spurs 24 - Magic 22

• The Spurs running a lot of isolation offense with Tony Parker against the "shortened" roster minus Dwight Howard
• First to sub in was Manu Ginobili, for Danny Green (1-1 FG so far)
• Halfway through the quarter, Pop's second bench comes in consisting of: Patty Mills, Manu Ginobili, Stephen Jackson, Matt Bonner, Tiago Splitter
• Interesting to note, despite the Spurs second string in, no sight of DeJuan Blair

• Pop is up and barking at any official who will listen, and this can mean only one thing -- The season is almost near
