OTHER PERSPECTIVES: 48 Minutes of Hell

PREVIOUSLY, THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS...beat Golden State 147-116 on Friday night. I don't know what's the most impressive item in that boxscore: scoring 147 points while barely making half their free throws? The rebounding domination? Tim Duncan's 17 points and 5 assists in less than 14 minutes? Manu Ginobili's 23 points and 11 assists in less than 22 minutes? Matt Bonner breaking the 100% mark in both eFG% and TS%?

The Spurs have won nine of their last eleven games (with the two losses coming at Cleveland and at Orlando) and beat the Hawks 105-90 on January 27th in San Antonio.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
