More accolades for our San Antonio Spurs. Let’s see if Bowen and Duncan can come through with big defensive efforts tonight in New Orleans. Otherwise, this recognition doesn’t amount to much. “I’m real happy for Timmy and Bruce,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said before boarding the Spurs’ charter jet to New Orleans. “They worked hard, as all the other players on the list did, I’m sure. But to have two…
We all know who the real 2008 MVP is, but its of interest to Spurs fans that two of our favorite players received votes this year. Tim Duncan got two fourth place votes and 19 fifth place votes while Manu Ginobili received nine fifth place votes. I know of at least one columnist who voted for Manu and here’s why: Ginobili’s particularly unique impact this season defied any conceivable statistical…
So far the Conference Semifinals against the Hornets have gone much like the Conference Quarterfinals against the Suns went. When the Big Three have produced, the Spurs have won. And when they haven’t… Duncan had a career playoff worst performance with just 5 points and 3 rebounds in game one, while Parker and Ginobili combined for just 24 points in game two, getting nearly as many turnovers (8) as assists…
Second Round Game 1 @ New Orleans: Hornets 101, Spurs 82 This post should’ve been written a few days ago, but as always life intervenes, so I apologize. I spent Saturday night at a soccer game, watching the San Jose Earthquakes battle FC Dallas in a contest every bit as thrilling as the 0-0 final score suggests. The teams combined for four shots on goal and the home side had…
First Round Game 3 @ Phoenix: Spurs 115, Suns 99 Believe it or not, I’m not completely thrilled we won last night. No, this has nothing to do with Antoine’s overwhelming dominance. Well, maybe a little. No, that’s not it. What’s got me bothered is my face. It’s hairy. Very hairy. And itchy. And it feels like I’ve got food all over my mouth and it just feels gross. I…
Game One vs. Phoenix: Spurs 117, Suns 115 (2OT) So… what’d I miss? What, no bankshot?(Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via Getty Images) Just kidding, I watched the game. I watched it while alternately cussing, screaming, clapping, yelling, giving myself high fives, doing Tiger fist pumps, and at the end bellowing out “JI-NOH-BLEEE” like a more maniacal version of the Chuckster. “I SAID MA-NOOO JI-NOH-BLEEE!!!!” Jesus on a boat what a…
The 2008 playoffs just started an hour ago and conventional wisdom has it that the Celtics will face the Lakers in the Finals and the San Antonio Spurs’ season might be over two weeks from now. No doubt, with all the drama of last year’s series, when Robert Horry checked Steve Nash into the scorer’s table during game four and Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw were suspended for game five…
Game 82 vs. Utah: Spurs 109, Jazz 80 Well that sure was a different slice of meatloaf than the hard, crusty, flavorless but sure as heck not odorless brick of dog crap we’ve had forced down our gullets for the past two weeks, eh? The Spurs played defense. The Spurs hit open shots. The Spurs (waitforitWaitForItWAITFORIT!!!!) actually RAN A FAST BREAK or ten. This, ladies and germs is the team…

Editor’s note: We had some technical difficulties today, so you’ll also find Michael’s post on Pounding the Rock Game 7o @ Dallas: Spurs 88, Mavericks 81 Good news, douche! After April 15, no Mavs blogger will have any interest in entering your locker room.(AP Photo/LM Otero)So. The pertinent question on everybody’s mind… are we back? Christ, I have no idea. I wish I could believe. It would’ve been much easier…
