George Hill - A Rising Force of Goodwill

Yet another reason to love Cubits.

Charlotte Chandler didn't believe an NBA player would phone her son. But then Hill called and player and teen connected in a way Charlotte never imagined. At a time when doctors were treating a rare form of cancer in Lane's right leg, Hill became a friend. The kind who calls and asks, "How are you doin'?" The kind who invites you and two buddies to meet the team in the locker room. The kind who says, "Call if you need anything," and means it.

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT
"When he's Manu Ginobili, we're a significantly better basketball team, and he's been Manu for the last month."

-- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich after Ginobili led San Antonio to its eighth win in nine games (88-76 over the Heat)

Antonio McDyess tried to break Jason Maxiell

"McDyess said it is not just about dunks that makes a career. I took what he said to heart and I tried to do that."

Shame on you, Antonio McDyess. And stay away from DeJuan Blair.

Monroe: Spurs' situation with Splitter reminds of Scola

Monroe: Spurs' situation with Splitter reminds of Scola

Even Monroe doesn't know that Tiago's team changed its name.

Trouble is, even that amount likely won't pry him out of Spain. That's because the prospect of an NBA lockout that could wipe out the entire 2011-12 season is enough to make any player making mega-Euros think twice about bolting for the NBA. Splitter's deal reportedly is worth more than $5 million.

The article then goes on with some wild speculation about a sign-and-trade involving Chris Bosh, but the Spurs wouldn't end up with him. Yikes.

I love aviation. Everything about it fascinates me. I also love the Spurs. Mix these two together and you get this image.

It's the Spurs flying over my house (in Houston) on their way to Miami on March 15th, 2010 at around 12:30 PM local time, at FL390 (39,000 feet).

What if Duncan had entered the draft one year earlier?

What if Duncan had entered the draft one year earlier?

Franchise centers are simple to get if the FO could just be bothered to look for them, so maybe not such a big deal.

Defensive pulse has been detected

San Antonio began the season in the top ten in defensive efficiency. By the middle of the season they had dropped out of the top ten. Good news though, in the last ten or so games, San Antonio is...

Ranked 5th in points allowed at 95.9

Ranked 4th in oppositions FG% at .447

Ranked 2nd in oppositions assists at 17.8

" Parker is amongst the best LEFT handed finishers..."

Something of a silver lining...

If Tony can come back in time to help the Spurs, he will surely be hampered by his freshly healed right hand. But perhaps he wont be at as big a disadvantage as many think.

Towards the end of this article, Chip Engelland backs up the fact that Tony is perhaps the games best left handed finisher.

I didn't know Greg Popovich had a Vegas show...

Gonna be in Vegas friday and saturday and discovered this.

I'm starting to see why the Spurs are having such a bad season. Popovich has clearly found a new calling...training pets to perform in his family-friendly weekend Vegas show.

"Gregory Popovich's Comedy Pet Theatre is a family-oriented blend of the unique comedy and world-championship juggling skills of Gregory Popovich and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets, all of them "ordinary" dogs and cats who have been rescued from animal shelters. During the course of the performance, you'll see a smorgasbord of amazing feats as housecats perform alongside dogs, birds and white mice. Whether it be jumping, dancing, flying through the air, or balancing in ways you've never seen before, Comedy Pet Theatre is guaranteed to delight and amaze every audience! Lunch & Dinner packages available."

Apparently, the Clippers decided that 7 years of mediocrity was enough.
