    I guess Spurs really are tanking then. I didn't think they were; I guess they think they can't make up two games on Pels or just don't want to.

    Starting out hitting all of our shots and building a ten point lead. Pretty interesting but I'm pretty sure the Spurs will come back after Pop called a time out.

    I don't think they're tanking, I think they're resting their guys while beating us so they can try and win the games against the better teams they have coming up. It might be a miscalculation.

    The minutes that Keon and GB have gotten due to the tank have helped them the most. They have improved and the learning curve is expedited. You can see them gain more confidence with each game.

    My fault, I mis-read the standings, thought they were 11th, not 10th.

    Interesting plus/minuses. Greg plus 17 in 14 minutes. Blevins minus 9 in 10 minutes.

    A second half with large minutes going to Elleby, Blevins & Hughes should sufficiently stifle any offensive ideals we may have.
