Christmas is Over and so is the Losing Streak

Tim Duncan’s whining was ignored, Gregg Popovich (why the two ‘g’s?) was ejected and the Raptors handed the defending champion Spurs just there second home loss this season when they (in the words of Yahoo! Sports) “hammered” San Antonio 83-73.

STATS!:

• The Spurs shot 31.9% from the field.



• Brent Barry (calf) and Manu Ginobli (finger) did not play.



• Kris Humphries had 14 points and 11 boards in 25.5 minutes.



• Jason Kapono scored 10 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter.

I've been noticing some positives in Bargnani's game lately, too - last night he moved well with the ball and played sick defence on Duncan when asked to. Il Mago managed three blocks and, seriously, even boxed out a few times. I also noticed that a single one of Andrea's legs is as wide as my torso.

Raps-Rockets tonight at 8:30 p.m. EST! McGrady won't play, so I'm guessing jeans, diamond earring and a blazer over a t-shirt.
