After the Spurs went down 3 games to 1 in their series with the Mavericks, most of the sports media wrote them off. We here at SpursDynasty had our doubts, but never lost faith. And now that the series has gone to 7, fate and the odds are back on the Spurs side. The dynasty continues. NBA teams are 77-17 at home in Game 7s Starting with the 2001 postseason,…

I know there are people out there reading this who think they’re Spurs fans. You go to some games, you own a Spurs shirt or two and maybe even a jersey, you cheer good plays, you read some articles. (And you obviously haven’t taken the SpursDynasty Purity Test.) Let me break this to you gently: If the Spurs are eliminated from the playoffs tonight by the _allas motherfucking Mavericks, it’s…
It was a great game last night … Should Dallas win again, fans might be disappointed to see the series end. Expectations have been building since it became obvious in December this would be a second-round matchup, and four games later it’s close to being a classic. This was the third one decided at the end, the first that required overtime. It’s been exhilarating to watch the two best teams…
Last year I read an interesting book by James Surowiecki, “The Wisdom of Crowds.” In it, he offers an accessible, entertaining “introduction to applied behavioral economics and game theory”: If four basic conditions are met, a crowd’s “collective intelligence” will produce better outcomes than a small group of experts, Surowiecki says, even if members of the crowd don’t know all the facts or choose, individually, to act irrationally. “Wise crowds”…
TIM DUNCAN, 8th place, 2006 MVP balloting (Tony Parker finished 9th… can you feel the dynasty?) PS The Mavs are finally Dallas again, since they have D. Too bad scoring under 90 puts them in a strong statistical likelihood of losing to the Spurs.
Even more interesting than the news that Tim Duncan woke up at 6am on Sunday and had one of his best offensive performances of the season, was this bit about Bruce Bowen: With a little more than two minutes remaining, Bowen took a pass from Parker and buried the go-ahead 3-pointer. It was the only shot the Spurs made in the last 5:21 and one of only three 3-pointers they…
I AM IRON MAN 9-12 from the field, 6-7 from the FT line. 9 boards. 5 assists to go with his 24pts. Make no mistake, Tim Duncan is the best basketball player in the world, and he makes Manu possible. Big props to Manu of course, who not only had a strong game in scoring, but also got a pair of blocks. The Spurs are headed to the next round…
SPURS RESPOND TO RON ARTEST CLAIM THE KINGS ARE GOING TO BEAT THE SPURS AND WIN THE TITLE 7 Spurs players scored in double digits. ALL SPURS SCORED ON THE KINGS. Nazr Mohammed was dunking and lighting up the trey. The Spurs were doubling Sacto late in the 2nd quarter. The Kings cut it to 27, Pop went deep to the bench, and the Spurs 8th-12th men extended the lead…
Timmy has been slowed recently, not only by plantar fasciitis but also by a bout with the flu, so it was breathtaking to watch him reassert himself as a dominating presence in the Spurs’ victory over the Grizzlies on Sunday. He took over the game in the 4th quarter, both offensively and defensively, getting key baskets and making key stops on Pau Gasol in the clutch. That is the TD…
