NBA Live 2003 (GC) (Spurs vs Blazers) (January 9th 2003)

Portland, Oregon isn't very far from Seattle, so the Spurs have to go there next for their next game. So far, the Spurs have gotten off to a great start, but the team is going to miss David Robinson when he retires after the 2002-2003 season ends. The front office is debating over who gets to be the starting Center for the 2003-2004 season, Tim Duncan, and make Trent Grazer the starting PF, but nothing is concrete about Grazer's role as a possible permanent starter.
