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,…
Game 18 vs. Golden State: Spurs 129, Warriors 89 Wowzers. That’s more like it. Running, ball movement, not too many careless turnovers, and most importantly, the ball going IN the basket. It’s important to not put too much stock into a runaway like this because let’s face it, we played about as well as we can possibly play against a miserable defensive team. Is it an encouraging sign? Absolutely. But…
Game 15 vs. Golden State: Warriors 111, Spurs 102Record: 11-4 Streak: L-1 The Spurs lost to the Warriors last night, and it was big news in the Bay Area. Spur-prise! Warriors Top S.A.Golden State deals Duncan and Co. their first road loss of the season BEAST OF THE BESTSpurs join Jazz as latest losers at Oracle Arena Normally I’d be disappointed, except that it just doesn’t matter. So what does…
Game 13 vs. Dallas: Mavericks 95, Spurs 92Record: 10-3 Streak: L-1 I spent the day after Thanksgiving hooking up a TiVo dual tuner for my sister-in-law and her husband — an early Christmas gift from my wife and I — and eagerly anticipating Game 13 in the epic Spurs-Mavericks series that began last November. The Spurs and Mavs played to a 2-2 draw during the 2005-2006 regular season, then went…
Game 12 Vs. Miami: Spurs 106, Heat 86 TiVo isn’t nearly the modern miracle people make it out to be. At least it’s not at my mother’s house anyway. After an uneventful, on-time flight home Wednesday night on Alaska Airlines, (I totally recommend them by the way, it was a welcome change of pace from my usual airline that always hassles me at the security checkpoint and always has its…
Game 11 vs. Portland: Spurs 107, Trailblazers 98Record: 9-2 Streak: W-3 There was lots to like about Monday night’s victory over the Trailblazers. It was another road win. The Spurs are off to a 6-0 start — the only team undefeated on the road. It was a back-to-back game, which have been historically problematic, to say the least. The Spurs had lost 2 of 3 second night games this year…
Game 10 @ Sacramento: Spurs 108, Kings 99 As my good friend Joey Russo would say, “Whoa!” Where the hell did that come from? That right there folks was vintage Tim Duncan right there. We so take the guy for granted. Sure, Manu had his comet-like two month run in the ’04-05 playoffs, and it could be argued that Tony was our team MVP last season since he was our…
Game 8 vs. Charlotte: Bobcats 95, Spurs 92 OTRecord: 6-2 Streak: L-1 Well how was that? Was that fun for you? Did that taste good? We just got whooped on by the love child of Larry Bird and Jack White. + =I like Adam Morrison A LOT, but he looks like he’s going to be this generation’s Allan Houston, the ultimate 25-1-1 guy. And why was he allowed to go…
Game 6: Vs. New York: Spurs 100, Knicks 92Record: 5-1 Streak: Won 4 Ugh. Sorry it took me a while to post this. It was hard to find the inspiration. Let’s be honest, the less said about this one, the better. It is physically painful to watch the Knicks play. 11 freakin’ assists on 36 made baskets! How can their fans put up with this one-on-one basketball night after night?…
Game 4: @ New York: Spurs 105, Knicks 93 Already this back-to-back junk is getting real old. We just played one of the three or four worst teams in the league -and barely won. We made ten more three pointers than them -and barely won. We shot 83% from the FT line –and barely won. Our point guard matched his season total in assists in this one game –and barely…
