Christmas is still two weeks away, but the Spurs gave their fans two early gifts last week: wins over Dallas and Utah without Tim Duncan in uniform. The gifts don’t stop there. With 20 games in the can, the Spurs are off to a franchise-best start and lead the Western Conference. Early on, we were debating whether the Spurs would win more than 55 games. Now they’re on their way…
Geez, it’s been a long time since I’ve recapped a game, if you would call it that. Michael coaxed me out of semi-retirement and asked me to handle the duties for Game 18, and, following his lead, I’m only four days late. So here goes nothing. Game 18: Spurs 100, Trailblazers 79 Tim Duncan was injured. (But not seriously, thank god.) Robert Horry made his season debut. The Spurs won….
Game 16: Spurs 109, Wizards 94 Greetings to all my peeps around the world. Yesterday I got a chance to experience something altogether new, a real life NBA game not involving our San Antonio Spurs. Manolis and I took in a contest between my second and third favorite clubs, the Houston Rockets and our hometown Warriors. The verdict from the cheap seats? I’m not nearly as much of a fan…
I’m glad that the powers that be at the NBA pulled their collective head out and moved Tim Duncan from center to forward, back where he belongs on the all-star ballot. In all likelihood, Timmie should get his ninth consecutive start. Like Pop said: “It’s great that they did that, though, it makes total sense and we’re thrilled that they made that change. That’s what he’s been, he’s been that…
Game 12: Spurs 128, Magic 110 First, quick bit of business. Just in case you care (and odds are strong that you don’t) here is the relevant Youtube soccer clip. Okay there, I won’t mention EURO 2008 again until the group draws are announced on December 2, I promise. Sorry it’s taken so long for me to post about what was unquestionably our most fun to watch game of the…
Spurs/Hawks and more soccer analysis than you can handle. You pussy.
Game 10: Spurs 90, Rockets 84 Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. We won. When it looked like all hope was lost and we would choke once again, we won. I didn’t think it was possible, the team was looking so meek and soft for so long. I was left playing a game of 20 Questions to myself like a crazy person for an hour afterward, “We won. How’d we win? Is the score a…
Game 8: Spurs 107, Lakers 92 Man do I feel silly right now. Not as silly as say, Phil Jackson maybe, but I really thought this would be a competitive ball game. This team gave us all kinds of match-up problems last year and we were incredibly fortunate to even eek out one game against them and on paper I don’t really understand why things should be any different last…
Game 6: Spurs 97, Hornets 85 Before I begin, just apologies all around for the lateness of this. I work like crazy from Fridays through Mondays at the bar and I’m usually too exhausted when I come home to do anything. I’ve been pulled over late at night by the cops two nights in a row now, once because they thought I was drunk and speeding and once because they…
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…
