    Jones looking fairly acceptable on defense right now. I like it!

    Kostas has great defensive awareness.

    Canaan is looking solid tonight. Very happy to see it.

    I hope someone cuts a KPap highlight reel from this game.

    Call me crazy, but I think he has a shot at be 2nd on the team in 3FG% behind Dainiels.

    For Harden and Arizas sake I hope he's more around our 4th, but I don't think 39% is impossible for Bev this season.

    Papa's ball denial on Ginobli is pretty impressive.

    Ginobili doesn't have the stamina to outrun Kostas defense. He looks like he gave up trying to get free.

    Bev has taken his game to another level this season. He isn't just a good defensive PG anymore

    This small lineup is pretty good. A lot of movement. Ariza defensive presence sure fixes a lot of rotational mistakes.

    That's been always his biggest strength. What's been a little surprising its been his playmaking this preseason, since he didn't have that role in Barcelona.
    He's always been a good passer and a high IQ player though.
    Looking very good.

    Every time I start to feel bad about this years team because of how stagnant the offense gets and the lack of playmaking, I remember just how vastly improved we are defensively. It's a sight for sore eyes.

    1. spurs are obviously not trying.

    2. I like our offense a lot more when Bev actually has the ball and runs the offense. I think Bev could actually be a really good offensive player if he didn't burn so much energy on defense and harden didn't play de fato point.

    That wasn't a foul. He fell on his own. Just good defense by Canaan.

    Our offense is absolute trash. No direction at all, just go one-on-one and jack up shots. Ridiculous.

    Bingo, we are about to hold the Spurs under 40pts in a half without Dwight. Regardless of the circumstances, that has to count for something
