Golden State 100, San Antonio 91 Series tied 1-1 Well that was interesting. The Spurs put themselves in a big hole (again), dug out of it by playing frantic and desperate (again), only tonight could not come all the way back. So we head to Golden State, perhaps the most imposing arena for a visiting team, series tied 1-1, and the Spurs looking suddenly like the lesser and very beatable…
After such a scintillating Game 1, Game 2 is bound to be a bit of a letdown, unless the ball literally spontaneously catches on fire at some point in the 3rd quarter midway between Curry’s fingertips and the net. But in many ways, after such an emotional game, Game 2 may prove to be the keystone game, the 48 minutes that can decide the fate of the series. If San…
San Antonio 129, Golden State 127 (2 OT) San Antonio leads series 1-0 Wow. Need to catch my breath after that game. That’s why you play all four five six quarters of a basketball game. After Curry had his ho-hum 22 point 3rd quarter and the Warriors pushed the lead as high as 18 in the 4th, the Spurs were still able to do what the Nuggets came close to…
On Monday night the Spurs and Warriors tip off their 2nd round series. The Spurs are overwhelming favorites, and should be. They have most things working in their favor: home court advantage, experience, poise, talent, and probably even desire. Still, no team makes it to the second round by accident, and this Warriors team can be particularly dangerous, particularly in Oakland, and particularly from the hand of Steph Curry, perhaps…
The current iteration of the San Antonio Spurs has been one of the most successful professional sports franchises of late. Not only do they rattle off 50-win seasons year after year, they also make deep runs in the playoffs. Four of those runs resulted in them hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy. However, some experts say that the Spurs don’t have much left in the tank. They’re looking more at teams…
On April 21, the San Antonio Spurs embarked on a quest for their fifth NBA Championship. Each of the 16 teams in this year’s NBA playoffs had a chance, at least in theory, of winning the coveted Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy. Here are 5 reasons why the Spurs have a chance at winning this year’s title: Tony Parker. He is one of the best player on the current Spurs…
San Antonio 103, Los Angeles Lakers 82 Spurs win series 4-0 Mercifully, the series is over. Dwight Howard is a coward. If you didn’t see that ejection coming, you haven’t been paying attention to Howard this season and series. He’s a fantastic talker, complainer, jokester, and physical specimen; he is an above average basketball player sorely lacking in heart, intelligence, and competitive desire. He wanted no part o this game,…
San Antonio 120, Los Angeles Lakers 89 San Antonio leads series 3-0 That went about how I expected. Well, maybe not quite what I expected. I was not expecting the worst loss in Lakers playoff history. But I’ll take it. This was a complete and utter dominating performance by the Spurs. Except for one stretch bridging the halves when the Lakers scored on 9 of 12 possessions, this game was…
San Antonio Spurs 102, Los Angeles Lakers 91 Spurs lead series 2-0 Game 2 is often all about the adjustments. The problem in this series is that there just aren’t that many to make. San Antonio is clearly the better and more talented team; if they play their game, they should win. And the Lakers are so decimated, they really only have one option of how to play and just…
Spurs open battles to win 5th championship VS the SteveBlakers, or it comes full circle. “Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1999.” -Prince Hola amigos. Been a while since I rapped at ya. We Spurs fans begin our most exciting, yet nerve-wracking and intense part of the year… the part we’ve looked forward to with anticipation since last spring, when our Black and Silver Hoops Juggernaut went on an historic…
