Game 1 Utah @ San Antonio: Spurs 108, Jazz 100 (1-0)Let’s see… I don’t have to write anymore term papers, sit through lectures, or con my way to a passing grade in español anymore. I got the interminable graduation ceremony out of the way (the highlight, by far, was a speech given by this Asian gentleman; the head of our department or something, dressed like the Pope, whose accent reminded…
Game 3 Phoenix @ San Antonio: Spurs 108, Suns 101 (1-2) Now that’s more like it. That vaguely resembled what I remember Spurs playoff games looking like in ’05. The Big Three was the Big Three again. Brent Barry was doing Brent Barry things again. Bruce Bowen was getting under people’s skins again. The Spurs are turning their opponents into soft, whiny crapweasels again. Amare had plenty of time to…
Game 1 San Antonio @ Phoenix: Spurs 111, Suns 106 (0-1) Well, that went about the way one would expect. We had, by far, our best offensive game of the playoffs and probably our worst defensive game. Tony sliced ‘em up for 32 points and Tim had 33 against the pansy division that is the Suns’ interior defense. I don’t want to make it sound like it was a boring…
Some things heard tonight on TNT’s Inside the NBA after the Jazz-Warriors game. “I can’t wait for that game (tomorrow night). That Suns-Spurs is a heavyweight slug fest.”–Charles Barkley, cell phone spokesman and Oakland-hater “Yes, it certainly is. Well said, Charles.”–Ernie Johnson, Emmy-award winner “That’s the key for us, you know, me or Manu or Fin, you know. We’re going to have great opportunities to score because they don’t have…
The San Antonio Spurs march to their fourth NBA Title continues tomorrow against the Phoenix Suns. Here’s what the press is saying about the matchup. * * *Did Bill Ingram make a Freudian slip by writing that “two years ago [the Spurs] won their fourth championship of the Tim Duncan era?” Maybe. He thinks the series will come down to the veterans. The absolute determining factor for the Spurs will…
Game 4 San Antonio @ Denver: Spurs 96, Nuggets 89 (3-1) Just another Picasso for your San Antonio Spurs. God does this team make everything tense. It is tempting to think that the Nuggets couldn’t have possibly given us this much of a battle in 2005, but then you look at the box scores and see that we only won Game 3 by 8 and game 4 went to overtime….
Okay, here’s the deal. I basically killed myself Tuesday night/Wednesday morning writing a couple of stories. I messed up my system something awful on No-Doz, and I’m just now recovering from an awful headache I had pretty much all of Thursday. To say I’ve fallen behind on the basketball writing would be a bit of an understatement, akin to suggesting that I was less than pleased with Tony’s play in…
Poof. Just like that, the Spurs (and the Mavericks*) lost their homecourt advantage yesterday. Mr. Robot Face must screw head back on. (Jerry Lara/ Express-News)The good news is that the Spurs kept it close against the Nuggets, and came back to within two in the closing seconds, despite having a truly atrocious shooting day. I doubt that Iverson and Anthony will play this well again against the Spurs. How awful…
Game 78 Vs. Sacramento: Spurs 109, Kings 100 Must…blog…on. Hang with me, my pretties, we’re almost there. Just four more totally meaningless-”Oh wait maybe if the Suns lose a couple they’re meaningful”-”No wait, never mind, it’s not gonna happen, they are meaningless” games. Should I be concerned that our defense was crummy for the third straight game? Well, we have played an awful lot of tinyball of late, (19 minutes…
Greetings from San Diego once again, ladies and germs. It has been nearly a week since I posted, as I have been quite preoccupied in the interim. Here’s a blow-by-blow account of my past week, as near as I care to remember… Friday March 30th: Well this day started off slow enough. I finished off my Nooch blog, and Manolis came over so that we could see the cinematic masterpiece…
