Well Spurs East peaked too early, Spurs West are on their way up to theirs. ;)

If Korver is still out, I expect the Hawks to struggle.

Indeed they are right now. W/o Korver, they are missing the perimeter spread out on offense that keeps the defense in check.

However.. It is played in Atlanta and you can't discount home court advantage. But this game should mean more to us with regards to playoff seeding.. I expect us to win.

We're off to a great start. Picking them apart on both ends.

Good first quarter. The starters looked unstoppable but the bench looked awful.

Our bench has been awful, especially with Bonner, with the exception of nut-gate. I don't think they scored a point. Can't argue with a 26-13 first quarter.

Danny can't stay with Teague, we need to bring Patty or Cojo in.

Kahwi and Tiago have been amazing. Kawhi has been everywhere and Tiago has been finishing at the rim and doing all of his usual Tiagoy things.

Hawks made a run in the third but we've still got a comfortable lead. We need to tighten up the defense, Hawks are getting way too many open looks.

Kawhi's line is pretty impressive: 17 points, 10 boards, 7 assists, 4 steals.

Boris is ON right now, 13 in the quarter. Hawks cannot stop him.

Annnd that's game. Great win, it was never really close. Kawhi and Tiago were the MVP's of this one.

Fellows

It looks like another team with Splitter starting and playing in the same level of last season. We simply look great defensively.

Tiago has been beasting ! 71% FG in the past 5 games

Can't say that I don't feel very confident right now. We're peaking at the right time.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

I'd Diaw can regain last years effectiveness I see a repeat for sure, or at least as good a shot at repeating as you can expect. Brought it tonight, but they'll need him to show up every game in the playoffs.
