After last night's game, I was really not sure of what stat to use. I considered writing about how every time the Spurs were on the verge of making a run, they gave up a three point play or an offensive rebound. This game could really be summed up by the phrase...

Well guys, it could be worse. Look for nothing after the jump.
There will be no halftime fish tonight. Hipuks is invoking the karma busting two loss rule. If you have a problem with that, just remember what he posted last night. Eeeew.

I really don't want to write this. Let's all swallow our medicine after the jump....
Here is the full boxscore.

That was a tough game to lose. There are some really good signs from last nights game, but one thing that is really not good is the loss of Manu Ginobili. I haven't heard if he's going to be out for an extended period or if everything was just precautionary...

Ginobili out; Parker doubtful
Tim has this in his game preview, but it bears repeating, if only so everyone can concentrate on sending powerful woo-woo healing vibes Manu-ward (and TP-ward, too, y'all, let's be fair!).
[Update by ATS] This, Manu out and Tony doubtful...

Complementary players are not those who sit at the end of the bench and say "nice shot" a lot (those would be complimentary players). No, we're talking about players whose skill sets complement the team's stars. They fill a niche, maybe two, without getting in...
