Spurs of the Moment

The Spurs became the first team to reach 50 wins this season by beating up on the poor, defenseless Cavaliers. Hey, somebody had to do it. George Hill (I told you he’d fill in nicely for Parker) led the team to a 109-99 victory with 22 points, five rebounds, and five assists. DeJuan Blair had a double-double with 14 points and 10 boards. Tim Duncan only had to play 23 minutes but still scored 16 points along with six assists, three blocks, and four boards. Also, Gary Neal returned to score 14 off the bench.

The Cavs were led by the Man, the Myth, the Legend – Samardo Samuels. I don’t know either, but I wish the guy in my keeper league who picked him up would stop squawking about him already. Samuels had 23 points and 10 rebounds in his first start. Not bad, now let’s see you do it again. Former Spur, Alonzo Gee, had 18 points and seven rebounds.

Also, so much for the Spurs getting Corey Brewer. The Mavs are set to sign Brewer today. Frankenhead strikes again I guess. It won’t help them though – at least not against the Spurs. Feel free to get out of the first round this year though. And, in the words of Michael Scott , “Boom, roasted!”
