After over a year's worth of reading the site without ever commenting, J.R. Wilco joined Pounding the Rock at the very end of the 2008 regular season, just before the fantastic series against the Phoenix Suns that began with the double overtime Game 1 victory that was made possible by three pointers that tied the game at the end of the 4th quarter (Michael Finely) as well as overtime (Tim Duncan.) After that, he was hooked, and after being invited by Wayne Vore, who was running PtR at the time, he moved to the masthead as a moderator. Upon WVATS' departure, he took over the site is now overseeing his third season. He lives in Austin with his wife and five children, the jrwlings, which range in age from 13 to 3. He travels to San Antonio to see the Spurs play as often as he can.

The Spurs overcame a rough shooting night from Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili to put the Warriors away with solid defense, great performances by the bigs, excellent defense throughout, and timely 3 point shooting late in the fourth.
The series tonight with a win at Oracle Arena and move on to face the Grizzlies in the Western Conference finals. Both teams will have all their players available. Remember to not call the game...

It's to the Spurs advantage for the 2nd half to play the same way the 1st did. If there's a big shift in the way the refs call it, or in the style of play, we could be looking at a difficult game...
Tony Parker's first half, and Tim and Manu's second provided enough points, and the San Antonio defense held the Warriors under 100 points to take back home court advantage.
