Hello there, my pretties. As you’re no doubt aware, I’ve missed recapping the past two games because of my Reno sojourn, so in order to fulfill my contractual obligations to both PtR and Spurs Dynasty (which means I can’t post the same stuff, in it’s original format, in both places) I’m just going to write one long blog and break it up in two. Part I will be the Rockets…
Matthew has a great take on Manu Ginobili over at Pounding the Rock, “What’s Gotten Into Manu?” with a YouTube clip of Manu dunking on Yao Ming. I prefer this edit. You get to watch Manu in all his glorious sickness. “I think everybody is in a state of shock over that one. Unbelievable. That was filthy, nasty, everything all wrapped into one. Look at this, he just climbs the…
Game 3: Spurs 96, Kings 80 Three games in the can and our Spurs are off to their first 3-0 start since the 2000-2001 season, when they finished 58-24, the best record in the league. Talk about a misleading stat, though. We’ve won at least 58 games in each of the past seven seasons except one, when we won 57. Does anyone at SpursDynasty think the Spurs will win fewer…
Game 2: Spurs 104, Grizzlies 101 This may come as a shock, but no, I will not use this recap as a forum to give one Manu Ginobili the proverbial reach around for yet another brilliant all around performance to save his hapless and disinterested teammates from a loss. First of all, he was good but not that good last night. The Grizzlies gave him way too many open threes…
Before the season has even started, the San Antonio Spurs are already bombarded with questions of why they are unable to win back-to-back titles. Everybody knows the Spurs have only won championships on odd numbered years. “It’s an even year, so it’s tough for us,” says Coach Popovich when answering the media’s repetitive questions. As always, Coach Popovich is absolutely correct, but it does not take a future hall-of-famer coach…
Hey. Hi. Hello there. Remember me? It’s been a while. In case you forgot, my name is Michael, and I’m an asshole. Ask anybody, they’ll tell you. Fortunately (or unfortunately for you, dear reader) I’m an asshole who adores the Spurs. In a completely mostly non-gay way, of course. I have enjoyed my off season as much as any terrible bartender and middling intern for a free daily newspaper possibly…
For what it’s worth, Kenny Smith ranks the Spurs best in the West, followed by Phoenix, Dallas, Utah, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles and Oakland. They really didn’t add much to their team. Why? Because the foreign legion team of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan is still the best. (Yes, Duncan is from the Virgin Islands, but they’re foreign to me!) Depth, youth and experience makes them the blueprint…
Draft day isn’t as big an event for fans in San Antonio as it consistently has been for sad NBA fans in lottery towns like Atlanta, Charlotte, Milwaukee and Portland. At least it hasn’t been since Timmy was picked #1 in 1997. Take a look at the guys Pop and R.C. have drafted in the last ten years: Damir Markota (2006); Ian Mahinmi (2005); Ben Udrih, Romain Sato, Sergei Karaulov…
There’s really no two ways about it. I’m a horrible person. Our Spurs won their fourth championship like a week ago, and just now I’m getting around to putting my two cents in. (By the way, you’ll notice that I actually took the time to write, “putting my two cents in.” You people who think it’s a cute and clever shortcut to write, “just my $0.02″ need to be repeatedly…
Finals Game 2 Cleveland @ San Antonio: Spurs 103, Cavaliers 92 Sorry, I missed it. Sopranos were on y’ know. I flipped it on at half time, saw the boring Spurs (who wouldn’t even be in this series if the league hadn’t shafted the Suns) and just went to bed and had a nice dream about Raquel Welch. :: hits self in the face, repeatedly :: Whoops, my bad. I…
