Wade gets THE MOST preferential treatment. How are you not going to get T'd up for snatching a ball out of the refs grip.

I don't think that was a technical foul when he did not give the ball to the ref. This is what people were arguing about a last year in the beginning of the season. They allow players reactions, and Wade never showed up the ref.

Big Al is owning Duncan right now. The whole western conference is hoping for a Twolves win.

The only time Spurs are boring is when they blow the other team out.

Man, Ginobili gets the job done. Not really a star or main guy, just a winner.

That was a tough loss for the Wolves. Foye should've waited longer before driving on the second to last possession. Live and learn.

Good win to get by the Spurs

Fun game, too. Some tougher than I thought it'd be, though.

Manu Ginobili with yet another fantastic, ridiculous game - 44 pts, 7/9 3P, scored from everyhwere. And, that was just vintage Ginobili on that GW shot, so sweet. Played good defense, including two key plays late.

Another tough played game by Minnesota, really good effort. Al Jefferson's a damn player, and Telfair really seems to of developed, from what I've gathered.

46, 5 and 8, 15/20, 8/11 3s

There the typical young team with talent, they will stay in some games but wont go over the hump. Future is really bright though (unless management messes it up), getting Jefferson for KG is probably the best deal for a star player in awhile (see Carter, A.I., Gasol, Kidd, list goes on).

Manu Ginobili is definitely a star player. He's an all-star caliber player, and was an all-star in 2005. Superstar, franchise player? No.

Heck, he's part of the Spurs big three that has won two championships.

Yea, too make things clear I think he is a star and can easily be the main guy. Just talking about a general fans perspective. Winning follows him for a reason.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

Ah, indeed in that way. But that's their fault. :)
