" San Antonio Spurs Franchise "
2008-2009 Season Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have always been a dominate force in the west, but as there starting players get older each year they find themselves dropping down and not being the same team as before. They always continue to have the same goal though, win the 5th NBA title. We can only hope they can get some young and new players that can help them out down the road and keep the Spurs in the same talk as the Lakers, Celtics, and Cavs.

Goals
- Keep Big 3 Healthy

Player Of The Game:

Jason Richardson

"Nothing was really falling for us. We turned the ball over way too much and committed too many fouls. Loosing our best player in Tim Duncan really hurt us bad and cost the game. Hope fully he will be health soon and we can start getting some wins." -Greg Popovich

"Everything I shot felt like it was going to go in and it did. Im proud of my teammates for trusting me and giving me the ball and it paid off. Rebounds is what really helped us out here out rebounding them 47 to 27. Missing Duncan for them really hurt.." - Rudy Fernandez

I'm really loving this already man. Keep it up. I've always despised the Spurs but i'll be able to put that aside for this chise. Good luck the rest of the way

Thanks man, next game and update will be tomorrow. Im kinda mad though cause i cant use the box and everything to put the scored and player stats though.

I don't see why 2 all-stars is a goal the main goal is an nba championship right? not make 2 players an all-star,but if your looking for a C try someone like Andrew Bogut

Because this team is old and i dont really see us beating a team like the lakers or nuggets in a 7 game series unless i can get a good center and great scorer.

Nice comeback over Dallas. Mason really came through for you in the clutch.

Good luck against Minnesota

Great game by Ginobili ... good luck against Minnesota.
