hell of a game! it's been a while since i've seen the spurs clamp down like that defensively, and i'm glad they did after giving up 126 to the raptors. i think the spurs did a good job showcasing what they are capable of this season. they really put the heat on kidd and made it difficult for him to create plays. nowitzky really let the superstar in him come out after a quiet first half though, making a series of difficult shots, even a one-handed fade-away leaning back on one foot. we did a good job harassing him and he proved that he's simply too good to be stopped completely, but it turned out to be too little too late. and all without duncan or parker! i'll be looking forward to next week's game in dallas

oh, and if you thought i'd forget. . . richard jefferson is a fucking beast!! he can drive like no one i've ever seen in a spurs uniform. granted he was forced to be a bit more aggressive last night lacking tony parker, but i'm really glad he proved to himself and his team that he can step up and perform when needed. and matt bonner too. . . after that dry spell in the last quarter, i knew he'd be just the man to reignite some excitement and get us scoring again. so what happens as soon as he comes in and gets the ball? 3 bomb goes swish!
