Carry On My Wayward Son
I didn't get to see the Spurs game tonight, and I probably won't be able to. Since it was on NBA TV, I have no way of watching it after the fact, as League Pass Broadband blocks the nationally televised game.
So I have nothing insightful to say about the game. (This is where you would insert the joke that I never do.) We won. We had a big lead, gave most of it back, then held on to win. Manu was spectacular...again. From the highlights I saw, it looks like we played pretty well. Yay us.
So instead of any analysis, I'd like to point you over to Pounding The Rock, where LatinD has been sharing his adventures following the Spurs for a week or two just prior to the all-star break. David (that is his real name) is from Argentina, and made a pilgrimage of sorts to the US to specifically follow the Spurs. He has been documenting his travels. His pieces are thorough, insightful, and very funny. He's a hell of a writer, and should make most of us native-English speaking Americans feel ashamed.
This article chronicles his time in Portland, my home town. It's always enjoyable to read about your town from somebody else's perspective. You can link to all of his other entries at the top of the page. I highly recommend it.
Looking Forward:
Tonight's win puts us at 40. We only have to win 10 of our next 17 to get to 50. Easier said than done. Wednesday night starts the most grueling part of our schedule, as we take on Orlando in Orlando. A win could be considered a wide range of things, including a statement or a breakthrough. We've had no luck beating good teams on the road. Hopefully our luck will change.

He is back for good. Tonight is game is testimony to that. Never say NO to to him, because that's when you will unleashed the beast in him. And that's when it's going tougher for anyone who plays against him.
Now the only thing is left is for the Spurs front office to give him an extension. The idea of seeing Manu in another jersey, is a proposition that I hate the most. I've said it before and I will said it gain, he destined to be a Spurs and he must be a Spurs for many years to come.
