Well its already time for the home opener and its going to a very tough one against the Thunder.

Even without James Harden this is still a very dangerous Thunder team that can dominate the game on both ends of the floor. If we want to win this one we're going to have to be at our best.

Go Spurs!!

Also another note on this game, apparently we're going to be wearing the new alternates tonight.

First home game, so I hope we win. But this is the second game of b2b. Duncan played incredible againts NO, so I can't imagine him playing as well.

If we don't have Manu, I'm putting this as a loss. I'd give it a chance if Manu plays.

Btw, Harden was incredible for Houston last night. I tuned in to the game only to see him play. He's what Manu would be if he had his own team.

I think Spurs win this close. Sure, both teams will be scoring like nuts but Tony Parker can get into Russell Westbrook's head.

And still I believe Manu is smarter!

Well guys, Blair took it to twitter about his feelings on not playing last night. This has the potential to cause trouble in the locker room.

Spurs need to trade him quick. At this point, with his unhappiness being obvious to every team, it's doubtful we'd be getting anything that's worth it. I expect us to get a second round pick at most. Hopefully Spurs trade him to a lottery team where he can get big minutes and won't come back to haunt us this season.

[Donald Kaufman]

He deserves quality minutes, just not on a team that has serious title aspirations. He's regressed since his strong first 2 yrs in the league, and I imagine that Pop has benched him accordingly.

As for the game, Spurs by 11-15.

I don't get why people are making such a big deal about that tweet. It sounded to me like he understands his situation and knows that he's not playing like Pops wants him to play, or at least thats the way I interpreted his horride grammar.

My biggest issue with Blair over the last year or so is that he's gone away from what made him a good role player and that's being a big strong rough and tough rebounder that can wreak havoc in the paint.

[Nolan]

Not a good start.

[Nolan]

Splitter picks up his 3rd and in comes Blair.

[Donald Kaufman]

Great W. Duncan posting old school numbers.

Call me a prophet or something.
