y'all took the day off. like I said before the start of the season though, you can never count the spurs out as long as they have pop and duncan. the playoffs are going to be interesting.

Duncan doesn't worry me at all, our bigs can handle him...Parker is the one that im always worried about when we the play the spurs, he is the one that always kills us because of our shitty point guard defense. Artest handled Manu well.

Parker was supposed to be out 2-4 weeks, but came back 3 days after that announcement, and had a hell of a game vs the Heat. He's a beast, but for some reason had an off day today. 14 pts? He's better than that.

I thought he played well in the first quarter/half. He was the one Spur we couldn't really shut down in the first quarter...Fisher can't keep up with him..Blake is a little better...but still...the only thing that stopped parker at times was just our sheer size inside fucking with his shot attempts..etc.

Spurs clinch a playoff berth

SAN ANTONIO (AP)—Tony Parker(notes) took over down the stretch and took the San Antonio Spurs back into the postseason.

Parker scored 23 points and the Spurs bounced back from a humbling loss by beating the Detroit Pistons 111-104 on Wednesday night to clinch a playoff berth.

The Pistons cut the lead to five points with 2:27 to play when Tracy McGrady(notes) found a cutting Greg Monroe(notes) for the layup, but Manu Ginobili(notes) found Parker on the right wing for a wide-open 3-pointer. Parker then made a layup to put the Spurs up 10 with 1:08 left.

“Well, I thought he did a great job throughout the game, being aggressive, distributing the ball, and when we really needed some offense, he was scoring when (the Pistons) made a run at the end,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “He was fantastic; taking it to them and scoring.”

Tim Duncan(notes), who matched a career low with two points in a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds in 31 minutes.

The Spurs clinched their 14th consecutive playoff appearance, dating back to the 1997-98 season, the longest active streak in the NBA.

“We knew today that we had to move the ball better, get everybody involved, and I think we did a very good job, especially in the beginning,” Ginobili said.

Richard Hamilton(notes) led the Pistons with 20 points off the bench, while Tayshaun Prince(notes) added 16.

The Spurs hit their first 14 shots and finished with a season-high 40 points in the first quarter to take a 14-point lead. San Antonio scored just 37 points in the first half in Sunday’s loss.

“They’re playing with a lot of confidence. They’re coming off a game where they didn’t perform well at all,” Detroit coach John Kuester said. “I know Pop was going to have them geared up to play at a high level. And they did. After we got hit in the face in the first quarter, we responded.”

McGrady was the starting point guard, moving Rodney Stuckey(notes) to the bench. McGrady finished with 15 points and nine assists.

“We’re looking to mix and match all the time,” Kuester said. “We’re always searching to see who’s going to give us the most in certain spots and situations. I thought Tracy was outstanding. His leadership and the way he controlled the game was outstanding.”

The Spurs led by as much as 19 points in the first quarter, but their lead was cut to six in the third as the Pistons used their length to crash the offensive boards. Detroit held a 31-9 edge in second-chance points, grabbing 20 offensive rebounds.

Parker and Ginobili had an easy time breaking down the Pistons for easy layups or wide-open jumpers to build a 67-52 lead at the half.

“I’ve been in this business for a long time and I’ve never seen a team shoot 80 percent; that was incredible,” Kuester said. “I thought that was the difference in the game. That hurt us.”

Ginobili finished with 17 points and Gary Neal(notes) had 15 points off the bench for San Antonio.

NOTES: Duncan passed Robert Parish to move into sole possession of ninth place on the NBA career blocked shots lists with 2,362. … The Spurs swept the series against the Pistons for the first time since the 2006-07 season.

Pop sais McDyess is gonna start the rest of the season and playoffs. He's really been playin well the last month or so. I think it was probably Pops plan all along thats why he limited Dices inutes this season. Blair is a beast but hes just too short to mix it up under there 24/7.

Yea Antonio has been playing very good as of late and should deserve the nod plus he has playoff experience..... Keeping Blair fresh in games to back Dyess I think is going to benefit the team in the center department and McDyess in the long run cuz dude is a sav, too bad he's too short as OG mentioned but has hustle and can bang inside!
