    Game balls go to T-Mac, Shane Battier and Rafer Alston.

    T-Mac for being ridiculously ice-cold.

    Shane and Rafer for their GREAT perimeter defense on Manu and Tony. Tim Duncan dominating the low post was the only reason why this game wasn't an ugly blowout.

    Can Rafer get some luv. He played great. Shut down Tony Parker completely, I didn't even notice him in the game.

    Something is like...20%.

    Its a little more than that.

    But the beautiful part is that JVG is on his last year. So, there is a chance that many will be getting their wish if he doesn't get to that 80 win plateau.

    It was probably the year Dream destroyed Duncan in the playoffs. Wasn't the trend that the home team lost ever game until Houston won at home to seal the deal and send the Spurs packing.

    I'm more convinced every day we could get a championship this year. Providing that TMac & Yao are healthy come playoff. :D

    T-Mac = Spurs Killer = MVP = Best Player in the NBA

    Btw, NBA.com screwed us once again. As soon as the Spurs lost, they took us off their front page in the latest results image slider. Our win is just mentioned with some text below the "Shaq's Return Soured by Pacers" slide. Pathetic.

    man, mcgrady wouldn't flinch man. nothing bothered him, despite that bad TO late in the game, he was sensational. that 3 point play towards the end must have deflated the crap out of the spurs

    Every time I watch Spurs play makes me hate Genobili more because he is such a flopper. That play against Bonzi was obviously a flop. And it makes it even sweeter that we beat them tonight. Wow!

    It looks good for the Rockets if they meet the Spurs in the playoffs, it looks like they know how to play them and beat them both on the road and at home.

    Hopefully, the Lakers face Dallas and take them out while the Rockets deal with the Spurs, wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets and Lakers made it through to the second round and Dallas and Spurs going home before the WCF.

    Great, great game by Tracy. Wells came in and made a difference, although he needs to watch the turnovers. Rafer had a good game, except for some mistakes late. Good to see Hayes put in some quality minutes. Just a good overall game by our guys, with superb team defense by the Rockets. And best of all, we beat the Spurs in SA AGAIN!

    It was close there at the end after having a good double digit lead. They need to close out games like this.

    You mean David Robinson? I meant in the regular season, though.
