Just like the last post, not a whole lot has changed. The Spurs, on the other hand, have gone through some changes. It began with Michael Finley requesting a buyout. The Spurs, being the swell organization they are, granted just that. In no time the Boston Celtics picked him up, though it remains to be seen if he will get the playing time he wasn’t receiving in San Antonio. Last weekend Tony Parker broke his shooting hand the same way Matt Bonner broke his earlier this season. This means no TP for the stretch run, and this also gives Tony his fourth injury of the season…obviously his worst. Now Mason will get those minutes he desired a couple months back, and then some. I’m sure Finley is up in Boston wondering if he made the right choice, as he would no doubt have a substantial increase in playing time as well. Manu has also been put back in the starting rotation, “out of necessity” according to Pop. He scored 38 vs Cleveland to begin his current stay as a starter, though unfortunately the Spurs couldn’t hold on for the win. The Spurs also signed guard Cedric Jackson to a 10-day contract on Wednesday.
On Sunday I saw “Brooklyn’s Finest.” I was slightly disappointed with how the storyline jumped around, but overall I was pleased. I was in the mood for a shoot-em-up, and the movie satisfied at least this much. The reason the plot seemed to jump around is because there are three small stories about three different NYPD officers. I found this a bit confusing at times, but it did tie together decently at the end; though I sense the ending was a bit rushed to get the movie released, as well to not make the picture run any longer than it already did. If you like violence, you’ll probably be content with this flick.
