Manu's impact can be felt and seen as clear as day when he is on court and you can now see why he has been such a key loss for them. The quesion is now of course, can they keep him healthy for the rest of the year? While he was sidelined the spurs explored a number of different lineups and matchups, and aside from Bruce Bowen's long standing appearance record being lost, nothing really interesting came out of the San-An area that was worth talking about. But, never fear because I doubt I will be the first to tell you how well young Mr George Hill has been performing at the point. A number of games with the big 20+ to his name and a load of assists and rebounds to boot, the spurs may have just stumbled on a possible steal of this years draft class.. Dont agree with me? well you're probably one of the only ones to do so.

Gregg Popovich hasnt exactly had much luck so far this season, and as said previously, losing your star PG and your start SG doesnt exactly bode well as far as winning basketball games is concerned. But all things considered ive got to say that they have somewhat impressed me with the resolve they've shown. In this past week they were able to reach the heavy heights of .500, and with two of your stars, all stars, out watching from the sidelines, thats an accomplishment in my book.
