We went in with picks 26, 45, and 57.  We came out with George Hill, Malik Hairston, James Gist, the Warriors 2nd round pick next year, and some cash.  The George Hill pick threw me for a loop.  It put me on the haterwagon.  I don't even know what to say about it.  But, HMMMMPPPPPHHHHHH! comes to mind.  For the sake of my sanity, I'm going to assume that maybe the Spurs front office knows more about evaluating college basketball players and international players than somebody who has never seen them.  Me.

Hey, alright.  I’m back.  I’ve been quiet long enough.  Yeah, sure, I’ve posted some comments here and there but I’ve been holding back on really delving into anything.  I needed to recover from the Spurs loss to the sorry ass Lakers.  I had a vacation for a few days and work has been full steam.  Enough about me though, you guys don’t give a shit about that.  Let’s talk Spurs.

I love the offseason.  Stampler and I dorked out back in Feb. or Mar. and talked offseason moves for something like two hours in chat.  That’s when I first heard the Azubuike fetish that Stampler has.  I’ve been reading the site and abstaining from commenting on what the Spurs will do.  Lots of speculation about who we should draft, who we should sign as a free agent, who we should bring back, and who we shouldn’t.  It seems to me, that these are all inter-related and we ought to tackle them as one big problem.  Why?  Because that’s what addicts do.

I thought we could start the off-season by getting a feel for what sort of geographical and cultural representation we had here on PtR.

JRW and I want to see if people want to get together to watch game 5.

UPDATE:  With the light response from Austin people interested in getting together, the BBQ talk is quite animated though, we decided not to try to meet up in a bar after all.  Sorry Lauri. 

It will be just me and the JRW at the homestead.

And just because you guys will like it. Here is what the wife had to say.

House rules: No profanity, no glass bottles, no dissing of Reggie Miller, no butt-slapping. High-fiving allowed within reason.

This is the half to keep our season off life support.  We are fortunate to only be down 6 when you are getting out-rebounded 27-14.

We need Game 4, and we need it bad.

Game 2 was such an ass whipping it was hard to be anything but a little depressed.  So, I decided to toss in some Black Sabbath and air guitar my way through Paranoid.  It's like an energetic mood matcher when you are depressed.

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

Buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn, buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn,

Buh, buhn, buhn

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but its too late

Buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn, buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn-buhn,

Buh, buhn, buhn

And around the room I danced and air guitared.

I felt a little better.  Sabbath will do that for you.
