"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
Player of the game: Manu Ginobili
RT @JMcDonald_SAEN: Here in Philly, Pop calls Manu Ginobili “likely” for Saturday’s game in New Jersey.

RT @JMcDonald_SAEN: Pop said Manu tried to talk his way onto the floor tonight, but was rebuffed. Pop wants him to get some 5-on-5 work in first

This one’s pretty new. I’ve been enjoying that show lately.

This was hysterical, and I don’t care what admitting that does for my street cred.

So, this week is my last loss in the PtR fantasy league…. good week for K-Love to be suspended.
The longest, brightest day is followed by the darkest night.
Woohoo, Manooooo! GSG!!!!!

Blair should be more patient with his post moves
"I've got Tim (Duncan) and you don't. That's the difference." -Gregg Popovich
I’ve become so used to downloading games the day after, that it’s weird to wait for the game to continue!
"That’s cool." - Duncan on his near quadruple-double in game 6 of the 2003 NBA Finals.
What’s weird is seeing people blog what happens about a minute before I see it on the feed.
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest." --Willy Wonka
Pop must have started Green over Leonard to get more offense on the floor against this Sixer D.
"I've got Tim (Duncan) and you don't. That's the difference." -Gregg Popovich
Helloooo Pounders!!
Leonard didn’t start?
But we are ahead, yaay!
"Now you know who I am or maybe you don't, you figure it out." - Tim Duncan
Sometimes, Blair is awesome.
Sometimes, I wish he would just slow down for a second.

Ok put Tiago in now
"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
damn Blair left Duncan alone in the boards

What’s Allen’s name? ’Cause I keep understanding “My Boy Allen”

oops. Got here a bit late. A bit surprised Pop started Green over Leonard, but with the Spurs up 2, not much I can complain. Go Spurs go!
shit happens.
I’m thinking he wants to see how would the rotation be once Manu comes back.
A casual diehard Spurs fan.
True or false: For better or worse, this is Tony’s team right now.

Ugh. I don’t like the East Coast games. Still stuck at work. Hopefully, it bodes well for the Spurs.

Now Anderson will play 20 minutes tonight

I really like the way we’re playing right now. Such crisp ball movement!
Did I jinx it? Can you tell I’m halfway to cross-eyed in a bar? Typing on my phone? Sure, I’ll have another drink.

I’m doing that sort of obnoxious thing where nobody else is watching the game, so every once in a while I say “Sweet!” or “Unbelievable!” in this not-quite-under-my breath way specifically designed to make people think they just missed something amazing. I got two strangers watching the game now. Hahahahahaha.
by Lauri on Feb 8, 2012 6:49 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Bonner sucks so bad on defense that I want to punch a baby!
"Why didn't we draft Julyan Stone?" TJ73
How does Bonner get these ridiculously unathletic shots to go?
"Sometimes I think I lost something really important to me, and it turns out I already ate it."
Dang, where has this Neal been all season?
...as we find to our astonishment that we can still function, and even thrive within the chase. - Alex Dewey
Sean Elliot
said, I think Neal got the memo about Splitter being able to score in the low block
"Why didn't we draft Julyan Stone?" TJ73
Did they just say that was Matt Bonner’s “spot” referring to a place inside the 3 point line?
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest." --Willy Wonka
See Blair, thats how you pump fake
"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
Is it possible Neal just found out he will not be invited to the Rookie/Sophmore game?
A casual diehard Spurs fan.
Wait, I can’t remember… Is this just his second season? I thought it was his third.
"That’s cool." - Duncan on his near quadruple-double in game 6 of the 2003 NBA Finals.
*shooting slump
He’s been playing great with his playmaking, rebounding, and defense.

Just getting in. Is Neal’s statline for real?

What the hell is happening.

Pounders! First game thread in 2 weeks.
So we leading by 3. eh? I’ma inject some good karma juice into this, and hope to up our streak to 6! Ha!
WTF “the game will begin shortly”?
"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."

Good. Make him angry.

It was awesome. Wayne didn’t come. Dale didn’t come. You didn’t come. But janie and tomasito and moi were there, so it was the best meeting of basketball minds since Pop went out for margaritas with Red Auerbach and Phil Jackson in ’99.
Nice! I’m kind of drunk at El Alma on Barton Springs Road (and it took me like 5 minutes to type the word road) but y’all are probably not close by, so . . . SOON!

Malik Rose is calling the game for them
"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."

Thought that voice sounded familiar!

Green. Still not sure how it applies
"I've got Tim (Duncan) and you don't. That's the difference." -Gregg Popovich
that was a nice 2 man game by TP and TD
"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
As a fan I’m actually happy that Doug Collins put Iggy in the right position. His role is exactly what it should be now.
"I've got Tim (Duncan) and you don't. That's the difference." -Gregg Popovich
you can see why this sixers team is good. Very good defense and they take care of the ball

I like the Sixers. I hope they make some noise during the playoffs.
