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 14: Spurs 116, Supersonics 101 Yes, I know, I know I said I wouldn’t mention soccer anymore until next week, but this is insane. They announced the qualification groups for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa last Sunday (let me ruin the suspense for you now, Brazil is gonna win it – in fact they’ll win the next two) and Manolis and I got whole new fresh batch…
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…
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…
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…
