In order to adequately preview the San Antonio Spurs this season I could probably just post a link to last year's preview. No big changes here. If you're a Spurs fan you certainly weren't brimming with excitement over the off-season. No subtractions. One minor addition. And that's it. You're also probably not to upset about that either. The core is still in tact and so is the bench. The young guys will be a year wiser, the old guys will be a year older. The main concern for this team has to be health, and that concern starts with Manu Ginobili.
Reports are stating that Ginobili will not be ready for Opening Night in New Orleans Wednesday night. Are his back spasms and foot problems something the Spurs should be permanently wary of, or is this just standard practice for coach Gregg Popovich, benching one of his better players when they are banged up and the Spurs have what should be an easy opponent in the very young Hornets?

This past weekend, the San Antonio Spurs got into the Halloween spirit and put on some nice costumes such as Manu Ginobili and Stephen Jackson dressing up as Zorro and The Joker respectively. Both were solid costumes, however, nothing, and I mean nothing, can compare to Danny Green's costume.

The lack of size in the San Antonio Spurs' front court isn't a secret. Boris Diaw and DeJuan Blair are both undersized. Matt Bonner is a surprisingly good post defender (in addition to his obvious shooting prowess). Then there's Tiago Splitter. Tiago's really good, you guys. He can score in the low post, he's a great roll man, he can pass. He can rebound...

The San Antonio Spurs kick off their 2012-13 regular season tonight versus the New Orleans Hornets in New Orleans. The team remained pretty much in tact only adding guard Nando De Colo in the offseason.
Yet despite the lack of many offseason moves, the team got in a full training camp (which will help players added late last season) and are raring to go according to Boris Diaw...

With the San Antonio Spurs tipping off the 2012-13 season in just a few hours in New Orleans, I thought I’d poll our staff, fellow bloggers and Spurs media members to get their predictions on how this season will end up.
My take
The Spurs may be another year older, but this is the same team that made it to the Western Conference Finals last season. With Stephen Jackson...
