My buddy works for fox sports and just posted a pic of on fb of the arena. Ill post here shortly when I get to the computer



It was actually a short video of the the arena but I took a screen shot of it. It looks like he in the control room looking at a screen of it.

And now we wait until Saturday for another game.

We'll end up with some crap back to back or even a worse back to back to back with that MN game tossed in.

Game becomes a home game for the wolves.

The game always should have been a home game for the Wolves.

It would've been a Spurs home game in Mexico.

Spurs Pacers about to tip off. Big game for both teams

11 point lead in the second.

Really good 1st quarter and first few minutes of the 2nd. Pretty poor finish. Offense tried to get too cute on several possessions, defense went from solid to awful, and we gave up way too many offensive rebounds. Parker's defense is really bad tonight. George Hill isn't an elite pick and roll point...

And Splitter is out the rest of the game and we have to suffer through extended runs of Bonner.

Stopped watching at 24 point lead for Indiana. I assume it didn't get better.

Pacers are just in a different class right now. They looked fantastic at both ends.

Spurs not getting any signature wins right now. Hopefully they can get it back together soon.

You can tell how motivated Indiana was for that game in SA. They hadn't won here since 2002 and they knew it. You could see how much they put into that game after looking at them lay an egg the next night in OKC.

Spurs at Toronto tomorrow - who just traded away Rudy Gay. This is definitely a game the Spurs should take. Hopefully they control the game early because the Spurs have another one tomorrow in Milwaukee and they also play 4 games in 5 nights coming up and 7 games in 10 nights overall.

This is where the scheduling makes no sense at all. 7 games in 10 nights but we didn't have a single game last week due to the Mexico City fiasco. Why not put another game last week? International travel isn't really an excuse for SA because it's practically in Mexico anyway.

Pic's over a year old.

Agree with the scheduling. It's like the NBA puts their interns in a room and tells them to come up with a schedule. They could make a much more efficient schedule for all NBA teams that would also lead to a much better product on the floor.

Some great passes tonight.

Baynes
TheDino

I'm excited about Baynes. He is a handful.

Also, checking out the box score, we really spread the scoring around. 7 in double figures. 30 assists. It's so much fun watching this team. Sure, we haven't been beating the good teams. But that will come.

Let's keep it rolling in Milwaukee, where we always seem to struggle.
Enzo The Baker

Baynes can do so much more than Ayres, offensively anyways. I'm glad that he's getting a chance to crack the line up.

quote:
Tony Parker made the request of Aron Baynes at a practice earlier this season. It is not something one NBA player typically asks of another.

Alarmed at the way Baynes was hurtling around the gym, muscles twitching and intensity ratcheted up to 11, the Spurs’ All-Star point guard took his 6-foot-10, 260-pound teammate aside and asked him to tone it down. For safety’s sake.

“We get scared he’s going to hurt somebody,” Parker said. “He’s a scary guy.”

West Texan

Baynes looked pretty good last night and I've been hoping he'd be the 4th big for a while. I like Ayres and the energy he brings, but trotting out Diaw or Bonner next to him leaves us extremely small, and he can't do anything on offense (including finish around the rim consistently). Baynes won't be an all star, but he certainly doesn't get pushed around by anyone and can rebound. He also brings a toughness to the team when he's out there. He got under Dwight Howard's skin last year in the playoffs and earlier this season was getting the best of Jermaine O'Neal as well.
Sher Thing

Baynes should get just as much of an opportunity than Ayres. He's definitely more skilled.

The one thing he needs to work on is moving his feet laterally on defense and to quit fouling.

If there's one thing that will keep you on Pop's bench it's fouling and making stupid fouls (see Ian Mahinmi)

Hope he continues to get some burn tonight.

Wow, the Bucks are awful! Sucks that Baynes rolled his ankle, would be another perfect game for him to get a lot of minutes.

21 points on 75% shooting plus 16 boards (6 offensive), 3 assists, and 2 blocks for Tim. All in 24 minutes.

And Diaw just had a filthy pass to Bonner in the corner.
