Spurs roll Bulls on National television

The San Antonio Spurs have not been great on national television this season, but yesterday, against a game Chicago Bulls club, glimpses of the Championship squad of a year ago surfaced, Tony Parker had his best game of the season and Tim Duncan didn’t score a bucket in a 105-116 home victory.

“Tony is playing at a high level again, that makes a big difference for them,” Chicago center Pau Gasol said. “It’s tough to beat them that way.”

Parker, who has been battling back from injury the past few weeks, looked stellar in his performance Sunday.

“He’s been in that mode for the last two or three games and feeling pretty confident about his health,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “He was very explosive today and played a decent number of minutes, too. I think he’s where we would like him to be.”

Popovich inches closer to 1000 wins

“He doesn’t like it (celebration); you’re going to get me in trouble,” PG Tony Parker said. “We sang for him, but yeah, he hates it. Yeah, it was after the game, the whole team sang to him.”

Parker sang during the game as well and helped the Spurs past a sluggish third quarter, scoring 17 points to get the Spurs past the Charlotte Hornets in a 95-86 victory.

“We went through a little dry spell in the third quarter,” Guard Danny Green said. “It seemed like there was a lid on the basket, but we kept moving, kept finding each other, and kept penetrating. Our defense is what kept us in the lead.”

Spurs take streak to the Mile High City

Match up a tale of two teams

The San Antonio Spurs have finally found their footing and their swagger with the return of the last seasons Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard who had 12 points and nine rebounds in his second game back, an 89-69 blowout victory over the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets, on the other hand, are now reeling from a blowout of their own. a 122-79 debacle at the hands of the Golden State Warriors.

“We didn’t compete. We looked like we were scared,” Nuggets Coach Brian Shaw said. “I’m trying to be guarded in what I’m saying because I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus, but I just don’t understand how as a team we can’t come out and compete when you’re playing the best team in the league.”

Tony Parker, who sat out against the Nuggets last go around, will be on the floor tonight facing Ty Lawson.

“We have a great opportunity,” guard Tony Parker said. “We have two big games on the road and then we have a lot of games at home. It would be nice to take all those games because we have some catching up to do.”
