Game 23: Spurs 109, Thunder 104 Last night’s win over the Thunder didn’t give Spurs fans much reason to celebrate. The Spurs led by 26 in the first half, but then let the worst team in the league cut that lead to a basket in the final minutes. The Thunder began their comeback late in the second quarter. They cut the Spurs’ lead to three points at 100-97 with 2:02…
Game 10: Spurs 86, Clippers 83 Unbelievable. Roger Mason’s three-pointer with 8.4 seconds left against the Clippers? Yeah, that was great. What’s unbelievable, though, is that I watched last night’s Spurs-Clippers game on my computer! When Tim Duncan started playing for the Spurs back in 1997, we were still using VCRs to record games. (Bramlet needs a storage unit for all of his VHS tapes.) Now we watch games on…
I waded through more than a dozen prognosticators’ pre-season predictions to bring you the best takes on the 2008-2009 season. It’s not surprising that sports writers aren’t optimistic about the Spurs chances of winning a fifth title this year, but most don’t rule it out either. Back in June, the Sporting News’ Stan McNeal picked his “Top 5 Candidates for a championship parade in 2009″, ranking the Spurs fourth behind…
Game One: Spurs 98, Suns 103 The Spurs opened the 2007-2008 season with a win over the Blazers. This year the Spurs opened with a loss at home to the Phoenix Suns. When was the last time the Spurs lost a season opener with Tim Duncan? Never. In fact, neither Gregg Popovich nor Tim Duncan had lost openers before. What a difference a year makes. Last year, Manu Ginobili and…
Tony discusses being on the cover of EA Sports NBA Live 09, his game, Eva Longoria and his picks for 5 best Point Guards in the Western Conference.
My friend Kevin attended a celebrity bowling event last night in Washington, DC hosted by Roger Mason, Jr. — DC native and newly acquired San Antonio Spurs Guard. Kevin writes: Talking with Roger, he plans to stay in DC during the offseason and holidays. I asked him if I could rent his house while he was in San Antonio, but no dice on that one. I could have really taken…
The 2008 NBA Draft is tomorrow, and as a consequence of their continued success, the Spurs find themselves, once again, with dim prospects. The Spurs have three picks — 26th, 45th and 57th overall — and history tells us that there won’t be much talent available this deep in the draft. Or maybe there will be. Consider these recent picks. In 2006, Jordan Farmar was picked 26th, Daniel Gibson 42nd,…
It’s hard to believe that the San Antonio Spurs 2007-2008 season ended just six days ago. It didn’t end where we thought it would, but it sure was one helluva ride. I’d like to thank my fellow contributors — Michael, Brantley, Jake, Kevin and Rene — for making this site a reality. More importantly, I’d like to thank you for reading and for joining us. We had over 100,000 readers…
Western Conference Finals Game 4 vs. Los Angeles: Lakers 93, Spurs 91 (3-1) I’m angry. I’m angry that the NBA gave this bullshit apology about the no-call the day after the game. Our coaches and players already said it wasn’t a foul. Why couldn’t we just move on? I’m angry that some of our fans think we were robbed and justified in winning a game we had absolutely no business…
I know this will come off immature, but all in all yesterday might have been one of the 50 worst days of my life. Probably 30 of those involve sports, in one way or another. The whole day was filled with bad omens. I was scheduled to do this radio interview with some LA Times Lakers blog, I think, and it was supposed to be like 20 minutes long and…
