    Noticed that as well... but Clyde was calling more games back then, so he was likely more of a "fan".

    Nowadays, I'd be surprised if Clyde showed that sort of emotion. He was also probably "closer" to that team because of his connection with Adelman.

    Frontcourt athleticism of Howard, Jones and Smith will be huge

    are the Spurs gonna be missing Tiago splitter? I think without him they have no frontcourt depth. We should be able to control the paint with dwight and Terrence jones. Hopefully we can get papa back for the 2nd game at least. I just can't see them beating us.

    Yes, that is from this season.
    Yes, you do notice Tiago Splitter missing.
    Yes, that is Dwight Howard and not his long lost twin Joey Howard.

    So if we win this one...we're pretty much looking at being 2nd? Spurs would lose a whole game toward catching us and Memphis is playing quite a difficult schedule compared to how they are playing lately.

    But they have to take care of the ball and make their free throws. They should've won the last game they played in San Antonio, but they were terrible in those two areas.

    One game at a time. If the rox can crap down their throats Wed, the rox will win both games.

    I just want the win. But if Splitter ends up being out, it'd be nice if we can beat our current record of 3 consecutive alley oop dunks/lay-ins from last game. "Run it again!" Dwight is playing above the rim comfortably again. He just needs to keep those knee pads on!

    I think we're a tough matchup for Spurs. Warriors don't have the front court like we do. This has always given the Spurs trouble. Hopefully Howard can delive big

    Spurs are the hottest team in the league.

    The last two games were huge wins, but this game will tell me a lot about this team.

    We should at least split these next two games against them.

    So many whiners and naysayers on here.

    And basketball is all about matchups. And the last few years we've matched
    up well the SA.

    Let the games begin!

    Pop will want to Hack A Dorsey, Howard, Capela in this game if we are up in the 3rd or 4th quarters. Hope they get some extra practice in on the FTs.

    In a game like this and even Friday, the amount of FTs made will probably decide the game.

    practice? that's not going to help them, they've been practicing all year. it's mental. capela isn't a 0% free throw shooter in any other league.

    I have tickets sitting behind the Spurs bench! How do I post pics on this site? Do I first have to host them on another site then link them here from there?
