Too bad we have to talk abou t that other stuff that happened last week, too.  I know, I know - we want to keep it in the past.  But, we can't do that.  We have to talk about the bad times, so that we can appreciate the good times that much more.  With that in mind, the Spurs have a busy week ahead.  Let's hope it's a good week.

My photoshop skills are a bit rusty, so any constructive criticism will be appreciated. The wallpaper itself is a bit busy, but I think it's nice enough for maybe an office setting or to use at home. It came out pretty well, although the contrast is a bit too dull and the tonal range a bit flat, but other than that I'm happy with the final result. Of course, you can download it as you please. ...

He really loves to heave the rock up there. For his career, the fifth-year veteran takes more than 12 shots per 36 minutes (six of which are threes). With Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili ailing in the Spurs' backcourt, Mason is getting the chance for the first time to play big-time minutes, and he isn't shying away much from his usual flinging pace. Mason played 30 minutes in the Spurs' 25-point victory over Utah on Friday night, and his shooti...
