Well it should be another tough one tonight against the Blazers. They've been struggling lately but they're still dangerous.

Go Spurs!!

Too bad Aldridge went down. I think we would have won anyway the way it was going.

We have been playing great, every night someone new steps up. Tonight it was Tiago and Danny that stepped up early to allow us to take the lead. Marco and Mills really add a lot to our team this year and I have a good feeling about Baynes. Very happy he is looking like the 4th big. He's big, strong, and relatively athletic. Can't believe we are already two games away from 50 with all the injuries. Enjoy this time while we can Spurs fans.

8 straight. We're finally healthy and we're playing some amazing basketball.

Everyone played great but I was happy to see Baynes getting some rotation minutes.

Agree. I actually feel like this is peak form. I'm just not sure how much better it can get right now. Parker is starting to get assertive, though he's not making shots tonight.

The one thing that is somewhat scaring me right now is Duncan's jumper. In our offense, that's probably the weakest thing right now. Mainly because it's inconsistent. If anyone knows how to pull out stats, I'd like to know what is the percentage of Tim Duncan's midrange jumpers. The one from above the FT line.

The TP+TD pick and roll, when teams commits to Parker, they leave Duncan for that long jumper. I think that teams might opt to give that out to TD the whole game instead of letting Parker get to the lane or our shooters get hot. This TD jumper IMO is the only weakness. TD can shoot it, but he's not Aldridge out there. It can turn our elite offense into an average one if teams force TD to shoot that jumper a lot.
