That Marvin almost poster was the most exciting play this season. That was almost incredible.

Josh has been in the paint a lot more so far tonight. Good to see.

I've always thought that Mo was an overrated defender...but his defense is just terrible right now.

He's had more photographic blocks but that one was very impressive. The man is dominant on defense. He was like a goalie back there. Fast break? What fast break?

Dominant shot blocker, not dominate defensively.

Ginobli is flat out cheating out there and the refs are in love with him. How long can he get away with throwing out his hands into us and getting the calls? This whole rally by SA is Ginobli-caused fouls.

FTs and foul calls are all SA right now.

This qtr, they've shot 8 FTs to our ONE.
3rd qtr, they shot 8 to our TWO.

We're beating them and losing the game.

The officiating has been poor all night.

Bibby's gassed.

Get Bibby out!!!!!

He's wearing lead shoes.

Good game for 3 qtrs. This Spurs team really annoys me.

I was worried about this when we had (I think) 6 more FTs than they did at the half. I just knew the refs would "balance" things out in the 2nd.

Don't tell me the refs don't know what's happening: we got 4 quick FTs in the last minute and 5 seconds to make it look better. Still, SA shot 10 FTs to our 5 that 4th.

Watching the Spurs play basketball is like watching the Germans play soccer : all they do is flop and whine.

Sorry, guys. The game's got me a little grouchy.

Looking at the stats, I'm surprised to see that Smoove, Marvelous, Horford and Crawford all scored well. I expect us to win whenever we do that.

Drew made a major mistake not resting Bibby down the stretch. I don't care how important he is to running our team, he was absolutely spent out there at the end. Those wide open 3s were, for the most part, because he couldn't do more than jog around. That's when Teague HAS to play. Or Jordan Crawford and let Jamal run the O.

I'm not blaming Bibby (I'm blaming Drew), but his defense killed us at the end.

I obviously wish we won this game on the road. Utah is about to beat Orlando and we needed to take advantage of that. Oh well, the season is long!
