Game 48 @ Phoenix: Suns 103, Spurs 87Long time no blog, I know I know. What can I say, I’ve been addicted to Minesweeper of late. You might say I’m obsessed with the game. I’ve gotten to the point where I like to play it “blind” without ever planting the flags on the mines and seeing if I can finish the expert level that way. The bottom line is that…
Game 46 @ Los Angeles: Spurs 96, Lakers 94 OT Nice shot. Never do that again. That amigos was old school Spurs basketball. On the road, hostile environment, nobody could shoot, the Lakeshow was threatening to run away with it during the entire third quarter, but we just wouldn’t fold. I fucking guarantee you this was Pop’s favorite win of the year because not only did the guys play hard…
Game 44 Vs. Houston: Rockets 90, Spurs 85Happy Wayne Gretzky’s birthday everybody. The best there ever was turned 46 today and I’m guessing he doesn’t care a whole hell of a lot about it since he’s trying to guide the middling Phoenix Coyotes (who?) to respectability. Contrary to popular belief, no, Manu is not my favorite athlete of all time. I don’t even know when his b-day is (it’s July…
The NBA All-Star Game starters were announced today, and it should come as a surprise to no one that Tim Duncan will be a starter. Duncan received about 10% fewer votes than Kevin Garnett, but about 10% more than Carmelo Anthony and almost 13% more than Dirk Nowitzki. I was a bit surprised that Tracy McGrady was picked over Allen Iverson to join Kobe Bryant as starting Guard. Manu Ginobili…
Game 42 @ Philadelphia: Spurs 99, 76ers 85 I haven’t written in a bit because I was mentally recuperating (re: lazy) after spending the whole weekend on an exhaustively long Spurs’ mid-season review for PtR that perhaps two dozen people have skimmed through at best. So you’ll forgive me if I keep these ensuing ballgames against Eastern scrubs short. The most interesting development of the game? Coach is gonna try…
Rumor has is that the Spurs “continue to look for a trade to upgrade their athleticism on the perimeter.” Pop definitely understands that things need to change. “At this point, Dallas is the best team in the league, without a doubt. Phoenix is playing great basketball. Those two teams may never lose again the way they’re playing. The idea is to try to be as good as those teams are…
Game 40 Vs. Los Angeles: Lakers 100, Spurs 96 Okay. I’ve tried to be nice. I’ve tried to be patient. I’ve tried to be understanding. But how much more of this sloppy stinky crap are we supposed to take? How many more times will a slightly above average team bitchslap us across our proverbial faces while we just smile and reply, “Thank you kind sirs, may we have another?” Is…
Greetings from San Diego! Yeah, I’m back here in this Republican Aryan paradise for yet another semester of skoolin’. If I don’t graduate this semester my whole family will disown me, so I’ve got to start cracking down on my Espanol. I think I need to put an accent on the “o” or something but I’m too lazy to figure out the keyboard code to do that right now. What…
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…
