A win today would secure a tie in the season series. We play them again at San Antonio in ~3 weeks. Currently it's tied at 1-1.

They're just 5-10 over their last 15 games with an offense that would rank top 10 and a defense that would rank bottom 10 on the season. That's a dangerous territory given how we've performed defensively since Roberson went down.

Important game, I'm looking forward to it, I really hope we win.

Spurs were in bad form the last weeks, but Aldridge is back.
They have a very lengthy (starting) frontcourt and we do not have any length besides Adams, that might be tough. On the other hand, if Westbrook is going hard to the rim, they will have problems.

I hope we shoot good, then I'm positive that we will win.

Although the game is close, this is a very unimpressive start. Six turnovers between Russ, George and Melo in the first 9 1/2 minutes.

They’re playing with some energy on the defensive end.

That’s a welcome change of pace :lol:

The spurs are so bad. We’ve given them every chance to come back but they can’t do it.

We were JUST up by 21. And nowe we're only up by 10 with enough time left on the clock where a team coming back from 21 isn't unheard of or impossible.

We were up 21 with 5:49 to go....what the hell is happening?

Now it's a 7 point game with 2:00 to go. The Spurs are on a 18-4 run in 3:49?
