The Spurs are working to remain in first place in the conference. The Mavericks are giving them a run for their money. Bill Walton, commentating on today’s game, emphasized how well Rasho Nesterovic has been playing this year.

When the Spurs re-signed Rasho this summer, I had my doubts, but Rasho has been having a tremendous year, and he’s well-complemented by Nazr Mohammed. Depth. That’s the Spurs’ strength. They have exceptional depth at each position.

Congratulations to Tim Duncan and Tony Parker on their All-Star selections. Well-deserved.
