Good to have you back, Frenchie. (AP Photo/ Bahram Mark Sobhani)

Feels good to win, doesn't it?  Let's make no mistake, Washington is a team that seems to be in total disarray right now.  But it's hard not to feel good about this win.  It was the most complete effort the Spurs have put together this season.

Oh, and some French guy played point guard for the Spurs tonight.  He seems to be a decent player, so we might just have to keep him around after all.

PtR Represents


For those that didn't read the game thread, our own JanieAnnie was the Spurs season ticket holder representative for the captain's meeting.  It's that thing that takes place at half court before the game where a couple players from each team talk to the refs.  Here is JanieAnnie's play-by-play:

I was struck by how really tall the guys are.  Everyone is really friendly and the hand shakes are firm, but I really wanted a hug like the players from the two teams gave each other.  Except if Tim had tried to hug me he probably would have hurt his back from bending so low. Anyway, the head referee asked me if I had anything to say (people usually just say "good luck" or "have a good game") and my reply was, "Yes, sir - Just call 'em like Tim Duncan sees 'em."  It really got a laugh from Tim and Tony, and a pat on the back from Tony, saying "That's good!" And yes, the refs laughed, too. 

Full recap, with JanieAnnie's photos, coming tomorrow.

Wiz @ Spurs: Game Thread #11

I've decided to take Lauri's advice and stop being such a Negative Nancy.  I'm going to calm down and not panic for at least another 10 games.  Here's hoping for a win.

Game Preview #11: Washington Wizards @ San Antonio Spurs

Raspberry_medium

Good with a little bit of yogurt and OJ in a smoothie

 

Why the picture of fruit, Cap?  Because this is what I feel like doing: blowing razzberries, Bronx cheer, whatever you want to call it.  And I'm out of beer.  And the sports gods really, really hate me.  More after the jump.

Warning: Massive amounts of crankiness and negativity ahead.  Please keep your arms and legs within the car at all times as we plummet down the rollercoaster known as Spurs basketball fandom.

This Week In San Antonio Spurs Basketball: Saturday 3-Game Losing Streak Desensitizer


Twss_saturday_medium

Tim C. made the logo for hacks like me who don't release TWSS on its supposed Friday schedule, so thanks Tim. 

Anyway, we have our first (and hopefully last) three-game losing streak in the bag, we're depressed as hell but that doesn't mean we won't care about basketball in general, or to checking out Ice Thrown-cool links.  Make the jump with me to ease that stinging losing feeling a little bit.
