UPDATE: ESPN.com readers were asked this same question, and with 34,031 responses so far, they favor the Spurs, 51-49. However, six out of 10 ESPN experts pick the Mavs to win, and nine out of 10 experts think the series will go to at least six games. We’ll see who is smarter, the fans or the “experts.” Wow! If last night’s game is any indication of what the playoffs will…
Not a lot to say about this game. They played us tight for a quarter and a half, but we had a big run to finish the first half, and quickly pushed a 19 point lead to well over 30 in the 3rd quarter. I didn’t realize just how depleted the Warriors were until the game started. Playing against only 7 players, most of whom are neophytes in the league,…
Some quick thoughts about last night’s game: Things I Didn’t Like: –Rebounding. Again, I thought we gave up too many offensive rebounds. The Jazz are a good offensive rebounding team, and to our credit, we did lock them out of too many put backs in crunch time. But this is something to keep an eye on. –Fouling. Too much of it. Especially in the third quarter, as a steady march…
I just heard the bad news, and honestly, I’m not surprised. Manu Ginobili will miss the remainder of the season, including the playoffs, because of a stress fracture in his right leg. Ginobili experienced stiffness in his right leg during Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. An MRI and CT scan taken on Monday revealed the stress fracture. The Spurs’ medical staff had thought five weeks of rest would allow…
Sorry, my headline is intentionally misleading. I was just checking out the NBA dancers in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and was disappointed to discover that the spread doesn’t include a single Silver Spur. Don’t get me wrong, these girls are hot, but our girls are way hotter than any of these ten. Something else caught my eye and that was a Subway promotion featuring Tony Parker. See it…
There have been some titillating rumors out there about possible Spurs trades, including offers for Rasheed Wallace, Vince Carter, John Salmons and Brad Miller. Honestly, I don’t think that Pop and RC will trade anyone, but with just eight shopping days left until the deadline, it is a possibility. What do you think? I’ve included current Spurs salary data, in case that affects your decision making. Who will Spurs trade?…
Fran Blinebury (“Sitting Spurs’ stars raises several questions“) has a lot of questions about the Spurs loss to the Nuggets Tuesday night. I’ve got answers: Did Coach Pop give himself a mini-vacation? No. Pop never takes vacation, not even in the off-season. Is there such a thing as a good loss? Or maybe a loss that proves a point? Or even a loss that doesn’t really mean anything at all?…
Whatever his rationale, Pop’s strategy against the Nuggets in Denver last night scared the hell out of me. Sure, I understood that Ginobili needed to rest his bruised hip. “Usually, I would try to argue with (Popovich about sitting),” Ginobili told the San Antonio Express-News on Tuesday. “This time, I didn’t. I woke up really sore.” I also understood that Duncan, Parker and Finley played a lot of minutes Monday…
Wah.(AP Photo/Ben Margot) One would think I’d have been totally geeked for Monday night. My beloved Spurs were in town and my even more beloved Manu was on a bit of a roll. I had tickets, as always, and my girlfriend agreed to cover for me at work and I was finally going to see my SpursDynasty buds again after a long time apart (mostly my fault). But the whole…
Let’s see you make a three with Tim riding you like a pony, you cocky shit. (Photo by D. Clarke Evans/NBAE via Getty Images) This might be a little too much information about me, but for various reasons, the girlfriend and I, had our first sexual tryst in about two weeks Sunday night. In the, uh, afterglow, I asked her, embarrassed, “That went bad, didn’t it?” “Well, it wasn’t good,”…
