Game 37 @ Denver: Spurs 92, Nuggets 83 I usually don’t write about the odd numbered games here, but since my posting schedule has gotten all out of whack, I’ll add a couple of quick notes about this one just so y’all don’t think I’ve up and quit on you. I’ll write more extensively after the Wizards game on Saturday and get back to my regular routine. I swear to…
Game 36 vs. Portland: Spurs 98, Blazers 84Record: 25-11 Last 10: 5-5 Call it however you like: “Spurs cruise past Blazers.” “Spurs Get Back to Winning Ways at Home.” “Duncan leads balanced attack as San Antonio Spurs defeat Blazers 98-84.” I call it a win. The “winning ways at home” headline will likely get the most traction in tomorrow’s papers, but I’ll go with the “balanced attack” headline as my…
Game 32 @ Cleveland: Cavaliers 82, Spurs 78 Dammit. Only 32 games, and already the dream is dead. As you may know, it was my very ambitious goal for this club to beat everybody in the regular season at least once, but now it’s not going to happen. One would think that the feat wouldn’t be that hard for a team of the Spurs caliber, especially since everyone in the…
Game 29 vs. Milwaukee: Bucks 114, Spurs 107Record: 21-8 Last 10: 8-2 Michael Redd had 36 points and Mo Williams had 23 against the Spurs tonight. Manu Ginobili and Brent Barry missed the game because of a stomach flu. Even so, this is a game the Spurs could have won. What is stomach flu? I can’t recall ever being told by a doctor that I had “stomach flu,” or hearing…
Game 24 at New Orleans/Oklahoma City: Spurs 103, Hornets 77 I haven’t written here for a while. In my defense I’m tremendously lazy. Also, I think I almost had a heart attack a week ago. I had already been up 32 consecutive hours between 9 AM Thursday and 5 PM Friday, writing two term papers, having lunch with my newspaper editor and working before I discovered that I still wasn’t…

Where the hell have you been, Dingo? In Hawai’i, actually. Thanks for asking. The waves on Oahu’s North Shore were perfect for the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters. And I was fortunate to see U2 and Pearl Jam at Aloha Stadium the night before the Honolulu Marathon, which I decided not to run this year. Maybe in 2007. So what did I miss? Lots, it appears. The Spurs have gone…
Game 22 @ Los Angeles Clippers: Spurs 103, Clippers 81 Oooh, neat. For the second time this season I get to bust out my Duncan-Bears pic.Okay, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that I believe we’ve established that we match up pretty well with the Clippers. How is it possible that we play a supposedly contending team twice in four games and rout them in almost identical…
Urbane philosopher Tasty Taste once wrote (in the epic poem Granny Said Kick Yo Ass) : “I’m gonna kick yo’ ass”“That was just a good old-fashioned butt whuppin’,” Clippers point guard Sam Cassell said. “Like your grandma used to give you when you messed up and you knew you were going to get it.“ (Coach Don Nelson of the Warriors described their 129-89 loss as “an ass-kicking,” as we reported)…
Game 20 Vs. Los Angeles Clippers: Spurs 111, Clippers 82 Well, that was anti-climatic. Silly me, I thought the Clips would actually give us a game. Oops. Right now we’re just crushing everybody. In fact, our last three games have all been pretty one sided. It’s almost as if we added something to our arsenal, starting with the Warriors game that we hadn’t had before when we were slumping… Eh,…
