The Spurs won, but did anyone else see rookie Isaiah Thomas take Tony Parker to school? Now, Tony Parker has had an awesome season. He has carried the Spurs through some tough stretches this season while Manu Ginobili has been hurt. He's averaging 20 points a game, but he was held to 10 tonight matched-up against Thomas. Thomas, meanwhile, had 28 points and 10 assists. Don't misunderstand me, Parker is still one of the the best point guards in the league, but Isaiah Thomas is for real. This kid can play. Too bad his playing time comes at Jimmer's expense. Jimmer was playing pretty well early in the game, too, but it was Thomas's night.
Well, the Spurs won. Every season for the past few years it seems like people have been trying to say that the Spurs are on their way out, that they're getting too old and they'll start falling off the map. I'll believe it when I see it, because the Spurs are playing as well as anybody right now and they're second in the west behind OKC. I wouldn't want to play them come playoff time. Gregg Popovich is the best active coach right now. He's got their role players playing so well. Tonight they had 55 bench points against the Kings' 20.
On a different note, the Bulls won again without D-Rose. They beat the a Hawks team that has been playing really well lately by 21 points in Atlanta. How 'bout a Bulls/Spurs Finals match-up? Anyone? My brother, Spencer, is a Spurs fan so that would be fun.
Alright, that's my take for now.
