Video: Tim Duncan pushes and stares down former Spur Richard Jefferson
The San Antonio Spurs aren’t exactly known as a team with a mean streak, especially after they waived volatile forward Stephen Jackson before the playoffs began.
So for Tim Duncan – the gentlest of giants and the man who has set the tone and (lack of) attitude for the team – to push a former teammate during Game 5 of the Spurs’ series against the Golden State Warriors, and...
Two adjustments for Spurs heading into Game 5
The sky is not falling -- last time I checked. The Earth is spinning on its axis and the Bobcats are still bound to their couches during the postseason. Everything is still OK.
San Antonio split two games at Oracle, which should be deemed a success even if it entailed coughing up a six-point lead with 5:46 remaining in Game 4. The pressure wasn't completely alleviated but...

via Grantland:
At the trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors turned down an offer of Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics for Harrison Barnes and the expiring 2014 contract of either Andris Biedrins or Richard Jefferson.

Corey Brewer was close to signing with San Antonio
Corey Brewer was a free agent a few years ago and had a couple of suitors for his services. The San Antonio Spurs were one of those teams and needed a small forward badly at that time. Those were the days when Richard Jefferson was starting in the silver and black and underperforming with the expectations he had since being traded to the team. The Spurs could score, but they needed...

Josh Smith takes a whirl on the trade machine
I can't remember a time when the San Antonio Spurs have been involved in trade rumors around the trade deadline.

First it was Al Jefferson and yesterday it was Josh Smith. It's important...

Surprise Surprise: The Kings are struggling on the court yet again....
I've thought a lot about how to write this, and frankly I'm still confused. That's how confounding this group really is when you get right down to it. On the other hand, there are possible solutions out there. So let's discuss them, yeah?
After the jump of course.
Option 1: Stay the course
This is one option that I think eludes people. After all, how...

Check out the top plays from the 2012...
Several Spurs in NBA's all-time top 100 money list
The San Antonio Spurs are often looked at as a small market team that is hesitant to spend money needed to win a championship. That thought took a hit when the Spurs took on Richard Jefferson's two years and $30 million and then signed him to four year, $40 million contract. It was the instance the Spurs made a questionable financial decision (one they quickly corrected...

Will We Ever Learn To Stop Closing The Window On The Spurs?
With Thursday night’s 17-point victory, San Antonio matched Oklahoma City at 6-0 in the playoffs. Although it would be fair to say the Thunder have faced stiffer competition, it would be equally fair to say that there’s no team nearly as hot as Gregg Popovich’s band of forgotten veterans, who were supposed to be too old for this about two or three years ago. Turns out...

Adelman backing Barea
Team lose games they shouldn't all the time. It's the nature of the NBA schedule. There's too many games to be laser focused on each one. Still, there are games where you really shouldn't lose.
