Spurs bounce back for win against Milwaukee

After an ego-deflating loss to the New York Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs bounced back against the Milwaukee Bucks with an 11 point win, 114-103.  It was a huge win considering the Spurs lost to one of the worst teams in the league in the Knicks.  Games like the Knicks contest defy odds but add gravitas to the statement “that’s why they play the game.”

“I gave up a long time ago trying to understand the game of basketball,” Tony Parker said after the game. “It is weird. We just did a better job tonight of shooting the ball and playing the game better.”

The Spurs face Eastern Conference cellar dwellers The Boston Celtics.  They should have no trouble against the lowly Celts, but, hey, that’s why they play the games!  Get your tickets today!

Spurs win sixth in a row

The San Antonio Spurs have quietly reeled off six straight victories with their next nine games a mix bag of competitive teams.   Last night, the Spurs took on the Toronto Raptors at home and took early control of the game surging out to as much as a 26 point lead before the Raptors made it competitive.

The home crowd was thrown a scare as Tim Duncan suffered from a slightly hyper-extended elbow after Tiago Splitter landed on him late in the game.

“I don’t want to take away from the win, it was a great win against a great team, but we should have finished the game before,” Parker said after the game.

Parker, who had 22 points and nine assists also lamented about his partner in crime, Timmy D.
