Spurs One Win Closer to Clinching

April 8, 2018 /

Season 51, Game 80
San Antonio 116, Portland 105
46-34, 6th in the West

If Saturday night’s matchup versus the visiting Portland Trail Blazers felt like a playoff game to you, you’re not alone. San Antonio came into the game needing two wins in their final three contests to secure a 21st consecutive trip to the playoffs.  The team has been in win-or-go-home mode since, what, early March?

Another reason this much-need victory felt like a playoff game: The Spurs could very well end up meeting Portland in the first round of the playoffs next weekend. Portland currently holds the 3 seed, while San Antonio sits in 6th. Continue reading

Season 51, Game 78
San Antonio 110, Los Angeles Clippers 113

Season 51, Game 79
San Antonio 112, Los Angeles Lakers 122
45-34, 5th in the West

One team, plays in San Antonio, wears a color combination of black, silver and white, and more importantly, carries a sense of pride and responsibility. This team is good at basketball and while they may not be the best team in franchise history, is at least fun to watch. At their best, they are probably good enough to be the 3 seed in the Western Conference. In reality, they are a good basketball team.

The other team mirrors the first team in some aspects. You can see the resemblance, such as the same color combination of the jerseys, but the differences are also glaringly obvious. Completely removed from the confines of a familiar ATT Center, they wish to be nestled closely by a supportive fan base and comforted by some good home cookin’.
