    Flukey half court heaves and drawing the occasional frail flop charge

    I think it's just Eric Gordon's demeanor. I see what you are saying though .

    I think he's reading too much into it.

    I loved the defense. I honestly think this team cares on that end this year

    I love Harden's play this season for sure. I can live with many of his turnovers as well.

    But wow, he almost choked this game up at the end. Some of those shots were awful, the offense stalled back to look like last year, and he walked into a that charge and was lucky that Ginobli's heel was over the line or it would have been 2.

    Great win, and Harden's definitely MVP caliber, but I didn't like the reversion to the old Harden the last few minutes of the game.

    Some of the charge calls were terrible.

    NBA needs to change that rule. Ginobili just jumped in front of him at the last second

    I'm surprised nobody was talking about how Aldridge got Harden across his arm before Ginobli stepped in front of Harden on the telecast

    Right now you would think Dmo for the bench. Team needs him for when Harden is resting. He'll keep the scoreboard moving for us.

    A road win is always nice, more so against the Spurs.
    5-3, although still early, 6 of them were on the Road. This is a good sign.

    Yes, but only because Ginobili's heal was in the restricted area

    Pau & Aldridge are too soft. Spurs are on track to be 8th seed non-contenders for the next few seasons. This is the beginning of the end for the Spurs, finally.

    Don't forget they often coast and experiment through RS only to get in the best shape when playoffs are about to start.

    wishful thinking. spurs are not a 8th seed team. a lot of knee jerk reactions always at the start of a season. by midseason that's when a lot of things sort themselves out.

    ? They are not the same. Parsons was faster than anybody on this current team when he was healthy, even Corey Brewer. Somewhat different game.
