The news broke about 4:30 pm Thursday. Manu Ginobili alerted the world on Facebook and Twitter that he is going to be a father!
Manu tweeted, “Hi everybody!! Just wanted to let u know that my beautiful wife got even more beautiful becoming pregnant 4 the 1st time. We r THRILLED & wanted to share this moment w/ all of you! Thanks!”
So congrats to Manu and wife Marianela. Very cool!
Spurs show off bench depth against Mavs
Turns out there is a silver lining to Tim Duncan and Tony Parker being out: other guys are getting to play more -- and they are playing well!
It's obvious when it comes to Richard Jefferson. He had 29 points Wednesday night, leading the Spurs to the win.
But the Spurs are finding out that they've got a couple of defensive gems. Did you see DeJuan Blair's block on Dirk Nowizki? It was NICE! Even more impressive was Antonio Mcdyess's smothering man-to-man defense on Dirk. He's bigger than Bruce Bowen, is physical and gives the Spurs a different option when it comes to guarding big guys with agility.
The team had the day off Thursday. We expect to see either Tim or Tony - or both - Saturday night when the Thunder come to town.
