I know it's at New Jersey and that we've been winning games that it's probably time for us to lose one, but i don't think this game is it.

As Manu said in his post game comments, the team took Milwaukee lightly. Milwaukee right now is just like New Jersey. They're a team that probably isn't going to be in the playoff and they're expected to win a game. I don't think the Spurs will say stuff about taking Milwaukee lightly and then come with the same attitude againts New Jersey. Add that we just got back to the number 1 spot for yesterday, i'm thinking the Spurs will be focused enough to come out with the right mentality.

NJ is easily better than Milwaukee though, so this will be a tough game since it's a b2b..they've played well since Kidd got traded..their best player isn't a ballhog like Michael Redd, who we were fortunate played bad down the stretch..Harris might be the best in the NBA at guarding Parker..so this game will be tough..Diop has been successful on Duncan..Manu is gonna have to have a big game tonight..we better hope this is one of those games where Carter doesn't come out with any effort..

Sucks for Parker, Harris is back from injury. Although we win this by 10.

We should out rebound them and that will be the difference in the game. If they match us on the board or worse, we deserved to lose given that their front court sucks.

Suddenly NJ poses a host of matchup problems for us. Timmy will bounce back after some very subpar play against Mil.

Good win

Tony played great, even better than last night

Ime also played great, defended strongly, and hit shots. Continue to be impessed by this guy.

Manu played decently, hit a couple Manu-esque shots

Bruce played a very good game

Tim struggled again offensively, but again, still made a serious impact

Vaughn didn't play much, but I enjoyed his stint, came in and got after it defensively like usual, and scored on a couple sweet drives

Definitely liked Kurt Thomas out there defensively and rebounding, just wasn't hitting his jumper tonight (maybe in the 1st qtr, though, I missed that). 6 pts, 9 rebs, 2 stl, 1 blk, defense.

Oberto with good rebounding, in 7 off the bench is nice, w/ 4 offensive

good game you guys, maybe some of that toughness and professionalism that your team exudes night in and night out will rub off on our team. Kudos!

Nice win. I was prepared for a letdown game but the boys didn't let it happen.

I like the new starting lineup with Finley and Thomas.

Oberto plays much better with Manu in the court.
