“Schintzius testified in the trial of his former New Jersey Nets teammate Jayson Williams that he witnessed Williams killing his own dog with a shotgun.”
Instant hero. Just add water.
You’re saying that they’ve always been the New Jersey Williamses?

Dave at BE:
I am on record predicting a Portland win in this game because of the "we just got blown out and look like we’re going to lose to a hot team but we pull the surprise win" juju. Now stupid Popovich is countering it with the "we just pulled all our best players for rest and everybody will say we’re losing but we’ll pull out the astonishing bench-led victory" juju. Pops is a Juju Master, no two ways about it.
"Sometimes I think I lost something really important to me, and it turns out I already ate it."
Dave might win the comment war, but Pop wins at everything else.

According to Mike Monroe of SpursNation:
The two veterans will be replaced by rookies, Cory Joseph at the point and Kawhi Leonard playing small forward, with Richard Jefferson sliding over to power forward.

Micro-ball in full effect!
Yo, I’m 6-11, but I just want to dribble through my legs and shoot jumpshots like a guard. - Marc Blucas on Tim Duncan
Apparently Portland has a huge plastic clown outside the visitors dressing room with its arm out that says “If you are over 6’5 you cannot play at this facility”.
"When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges."
They mention the spurs on every ESPN show today
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
How excitement. Back to back with Timmy playing 38 pts the night before?
I’m predicting something along the lines of this Doc Funk special
"When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges."
Amidst all of this, it will be kind of funny and sad at the same time if James Anderson STILL doesn’t get much burn.

Isaiah Thomas & Marcus Thornton are drilling threes from everywhere vs miami

And yet Kings still down by double-digits. Wut.

The Kings are actually making a lot more sense the last three games since they moved Tyreke Evans to SF. Thomas & Thornton are a much better guard rotation.
"When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges."
but they’ve lost their last 5 games… were those close games? I really don’t know, I only follow the Spurs… We lost to the Kings early in the season right? At home?
shit happens.
Kings are in a rebuild though and if you can get a starting PG from the second round like Thomas some run instead of John Salmons you do it.
They were like a train wreck playing Evans at the point he is a bull still at SF.
"When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges."
I’m not surprised about Duncan, but I’m glad Parker is getting a night off, too. He has earned it.

man this is so Pop.
At least the guy is true to his “i don’t give a blue f*** about the regular season” ethos after all these years.
If they get a win on the road with half the team having a night off would be massive.
