The Buck Stops Here

(I need to make a habit of cheesy titles).

From the Spurs' 25 point rout of the Milwaukee Bucks:

- Manu is playing the best basketball he's played since the 2005 playoffs. 21 points in 18 minutes. Thankfully, he didn't have to play much tonight. He already has a tight quad and it flared up on him against New Orleans. The fewer minutes he has to play right now, the better.

- The Spurs outscored the Bucks by 31 points while Duncan was in the game.

- Jake Voskuhl (Bucks backup center) is balding but still sucks, disproving the theory that Manu's alopecia is directly tied to his ridiculous awesomeness.

- Barry missed his second straight game with a bum ankle, so Ime Udoka got to see some minutes....sorta. He played 27 minutes, but didn't do much of anything and only had one field goal.

- Finley caught fire, his first good game of the season. 7-12 for 17 points. He and Ginobili almost had as many points as the entire Bucks team in the first quarter.

- Ian Mahinmi could be really, really good someday. Just a beast. He's like Dwight Howard (as a rook) without the muscle. He's also really hard to tell apart from Elson on the TV...it's annoying.

- Matt Bonner is a total spaz. Darius Washington is tough as nails. Fransico Elson is playing great despite having monster butterfingers syndrome.
