We`re coming off our first road loss of the season and your first loss to the Clippers in 19 games. So we need a bounce back performance against the Wolves on Friday and considering what happened last time we faced the Wolves we should take these guys seriously on Friday. We need to do our best to stop Kevin Love from killing us in the paint.

Go Spurs!!

[Donald Kaufman]

We should kill these guys. Let's try and keep Love from getting every single rebound.

Darko's playing really well.. It might not show up on the boxscore, but he's altering just about every shot out there. Shots are shot higher.. Guys overpasses. Looking around for Darko when trying to score inside. He's just a phenomenal defensive Center.

[Magz50]

We're looking tired and out of energy the past two games. The young wolves are just breezing by us too easily. We need some energy already!

[Magz50]

ok I cant watch this anymore, What the hell is wrong with them? I'm going to bed.

[Magz50]

Ok I Lied, I'm still watching, finally showing some heart. Although Beasley is injured, we gotta get some freakin REBOUNDS !!

[Magz50]

damn 2 point game now, Hill having a blinder! Beasley is back too.

[Magz50]

Damn Parker, give the damn ball up UGH! tied game now, we could of gone ahead then.

[Magz50]

Manu with clutch FTs! G Hill with a HUGE scramble for the loose ball and time out. Damn, this game has come alive. 57 secs left, Spurs ball. Up by 2

Where is Pop? I just turned the game on and I dont see him......

[Magz50]

Pop got ejected in the third when we were down 15, Love travelled and the refs didn't call it so he went crazy, plus i think he wanted to fire up the team, it worked! Spurs came back from 15 down and won. Great comeback again!

[Donald Kaufman]

Nice comeback win. Hill was awesome, so was Timmy and Tony.

Ten of the next 12 games are at AT & T, let's build this conference lead!!!!

[Nolan]

Hill and Duncan both played great but this game shouldn't of been this close. But we won the game and thats all that really matters.

[Frankie23]

Manu 1-10 shooting..OMG!

Still clutch FTs. Wolves have a good team, why can't they have a better record?

[Magz50]

Not just Manu, Bonner also was sucking bigtime, as well as jefferson for most of the first half. I'm glad they finally got out of their slump. Timmy was playing great, and to be honest, Beasley was on fire. He wasnt missing anything. Made it hard for us to stay in the game. Also they out rebounded us like crazy! so many second chances it wasn't funny.

[Donald Kaufman]

The Wolves are better than their record suggests. They've got some nice young pieces that hopefully they can retain and build around. Their inexperience at closing out games really came thru. They had a 15 pt lead going into the 4th and they blew it.

Beasley and Love are great players. Imagine when/if Rubio gets added to the mix.

[co_laper]

My worries is that Minnesota is somewhat like Lakers-lite. We struggle againts a frontline of Darko-Love-Beasley? I imagine what it's like againts Bynum-Gasol-Odom-Artest type...

I'm glad we won, but that game didn't leave a good taste in my mouth. We're lucky the Wolves crumble once we made that late run. They've had a history of doing that this year so I bet it's in their heads and collapse.
