During his post-shoot-around scrum with reporters, Manu Ginobili sheepishly admitted that he couldn't remember the last time the Spurs held a formal practice.
"Not really, and I probably skipped it," he said with a laugh, before citing the various aches and pains that get 38-year-old veterans excused from such chores. "But really I don't remember the last taped practice, it's probably been more than a couple of weeks ago."
The Spurs have had a dense glut of games of late, like most teams typically do this time of year and practices are rare, especially for squads with veteran-laden rosters who don't have to be brow-beaten into learning the plays.
