NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Manu Ginobili is out. There is nothing the Spurs can do about that and it is a hard loss to take. Manu is often the X-factor that spells doom for the other teams. If they bully Parker and double Duncan then Manu kills them with his outside game or slashes to the basket for repeated layups.
Now the Spurs have faced injured players before and if that was all there was then they would not be so worried. Sure the Lakers are the odds on …read more

Manu Ginobili is looking for the ball
Manu Ginobili has returned to the San Antonio Spurs.
Ginobili, who missed San Antonio’s first 12 games, scored 12 points to help the Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies 94-81 on Monday night.
“I felt pretty good about it,” said Ginobili, who played 11 minutes in his first outing. “I didn’t rush it a lot. I took my time, found the open seam, made a couple of shots. I wasn’t thinking about a great game on my first one, so I’m happy with what I …read more

Tony Parker is unstoppable
With no Manu and the San Antonio Spurs slumping, somebody had to do something. Well, Tony Parker did more than just something. Tony did everything.
The San Antonio Spurs needed every last layup and feathery jumper from the fast-moving Frenchman, whose unstoppable performance was just enough to fuel their first win.
Parker scored a career-high 55 points, including a 20-footer at the buzzer to force a second overtime, in San Antonio’s 129-125 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.

Dirk Nowitzki is listening for a Spurs rally, but did not hear anything
Dirk Nowitzki goes off for 30 and the Mavericks still look like a team to contend with in the West.
Can San Antonio win a game this year?
It remains to be seen. The new Dallas Mavericks with the same old players beat the Spurs 98 – 91.
They still have to play without the injured Manu Ginobili until December.
It is a rough start.
Odds remain high the Spurs aren’t going to finish the year 0-82. It only …read more

Walton filed a report late last year that Beshear was harassing him in November and December. “He reported that the woman was using a Sharpie marker …read more

Manu Ginobili knows Argentina will have to play perfect to beat the Redeem Team
The United States is a 19 point favorite over Argentina in the semi final game that starts Friday morning at 10 a.m., but hold on here. Argentina has beaten the USA twice since Dream Team time and that is an exclusive club. In fact, it was Argentina that took the Silver in the 2004 Olympics after beating the U.S. in the semis.
Still the smart money is on the Redeem Team with the way …read more
