There is no Spurs game tonight, but there sure are a heck of a lot of other games, both NBA and NCAA. Ooey-Pooey plays in the Summit League Championship tonight at 8 pm Spurs time (on ESPN2).
Use this thread to talk about any basketball and non-basketball topics that strike your fancy.

I missed most of the first half, but I think I got a pretty good grasp of the game. I'm going to make this short and sweet, since none of us want to re-live that loss. Manu Ginobili is the freaking man. George Hill is getting better all the time. This team has a mental block if the other team's best player is hurt.

Ridiculous Upside: Cedric Jackson to the Spurs...
Scott Schroeder from RU(who always does great, great work BTW) gives us some details about our new backup[?] PG.
Defensively, as you'd probably assume, is where he's best. I'm told that, according to Synergy, he ranks as the top defensive point guard in the D-League - obviously why he's the Spurs choice as a call-up. He's not very big (6'3", 190) but he is very athletic and plays the passing lanes quite well - he has great instin...

52-49, Good Guys at the Half.
Manu's playing well, Yawn and Hairston sightings, and Hill with the TP imitation. And oh yeah, LeBron's not playing.

We are entering the last quarter of the season and most teams have around 20 games left. The Spurs have 22. This is relative look at the Western conference teams schedules to highlight games against each other. Because the East still has some good teams, I figured I'd list them as well.
RECORDS AND REMAINING GAMESHere are the Western playoff teams ranked by their loss column. Eastern Elite refers to Cleveland, Orlando, Boston, and Atlanta. Other Notables is Toronto, Milwaukee, Houston, Memphis, and New Orleans. I was tempted to include Miami and Ch...

Here at PtR, one of the idiosyncrasies of the site is the conversational nature of our threads. Occasionally, we veer slightly off-topic in our comments. So, we came up with a new idea: the Daily Thread Of Utter Randomness, otherwise known as D-TOUR. You want to rant about work, come here. You want to discuss the best type of lettuce to feed your turtle, come here. You want to talk about how hot it is in Phoenix or how cold it is in Chicago, come here. There will be a bit of a learning curve with this, so if you've got any suggestions, leave them in the c...
