Jingling and jangling
No good analysis here, just a bit of a funk. We traded James for Alston. Tracy's playing hurt. We're listless, largely playing a game of "give it to Tracy and we'll see what happens." Then the Spurs.
Parker made our guard defense (and once, even our post presence) look foolish. Yao could not stay in front of Duncan when he faced the basket in the post. I felt like we'd get a patented TMac rally if we could climb back within 10 going into the fourth, but that 11 point deficit kept turning back into a 15 point hole.
Three bright spots: Tracy's second half, Luther Head's second half, Bowen getting called for the chin foul on Tracy's elbow. The last one is just me being a sore loser.

I'll say tay this for the Rockets: they played hard. Yep. Good effort and such.
I think Parker may have finally made the leap to superstar, and if that's true, then the Spurs are just toying with everyone. They've laid a couple eggs on the road, but will they lose a home game this year? They can sleepwalk through a first half (Atlanta, Cleveland) and just casually blow out teams in the second.
Without dropping the "s" label on him, I was annoyed to find that Parker appears to have improved again while I watched that game. Can't these guys peak already?
The "s" bomb may be premature, but he does appear to be more in the Manu class now than last year. And whether that's great or elite or super or very good or whatever you want to call it, one word we can agree on is scary.
