Michael and Jeff recap game one of Sunday's ABC doublheader. The Spurs ended up beating the Celtics in a very close game, which received under-billing compared to the much-hyped Lakers-Cavs game. Matt Bonner was the story of the game, scoring 23 points in front of friends and family...

If the three point shot were a woman, it would be Heidi Klum. That's how much I, a slow white boy from Indiana, love the three point shot. Without it, my high school basketball career would have been D.O.A. So I will be watching with great interest tonight as Jason Kapono goes...

Complementary players are not those who sit at the end of the bench and say "nice shot" a lot (those would be complimentary players). No, we're talking about players whose skill sets complement the team's stars. They fill a niche, maybe two, without getting in...

Never, ever celebrate when there is time on the clock and Roger Mason is suited up.?The Suns learned that lesson the hard way on Christmas Day, and now the Lakers are beginning to do the same. Kobe can do Sam Cassell's ball dance all he wants, but the last laugh went to the Spurs...
Game Preview #3: Sacramento Kings @ San Antonio Spurs - Scare Tactics
October 31, 2009 by

The team needs to be scared stiff to play their best basketball and quickly bury this win-hungry Kings team six feet under. I think I have just the right idea. Close your eyes when you make the jump.

Coming down the stretch, there are some games the Raptors are just going to have to take care of, whether they have their star player or not. This is one of those games. With or without Chris Bosh, the Raptors should be able to handle the Sonics. Hell, after watching Georgetown beat...

You know, I was thinking the other day that maybe the Spurs COULD hire some random web site writer to be their GM just like Bill Simmons has been lobbying. Of course, if they did their research, they would immediately rule out Simmons for being a dumb ass based on his...

Strange win but a win

That was one of the more unique games I've seen in awhile last night. The Wizards came out hot early behind Roger Mason Jr., cooled off, took back control in the second half and then repeatedly let Charlotte get back in the game. The finish featured some truly odd calls as well...

Dan Steinberg over at the DC Sports Bog got a chance to tag along on a round of golf with Caron Butler, Roger Mason Jr, Darrell Green, and Rock Cartwright at the famous Congressional Country Club. Someone needs to get Roger some fitted clubs. Although the pants are hot!

Just yesterday, Project Spurs writer Shawn Kirsch entertained the idea of a trade for Clippers center Marcus Camby. A trade for Camby makes sense since center has been the Spurs weakest position since Davd Robinson hung up his #50 jersey. However, the latest trade rumor has the Spurs...

Kelly Dwyer astutely points out what is very obvious to most fans: we are missing our 2nd and 3rd best players. That will wreak havoc with any team, but especially a team that relies on 3 very unique and gifted players. This is what makes games like last week's win over Dallas...

Want to know if your Jordans are fake? Here's a tip: when you put two or three them into a basketball gym, they should smell like leather, cigars and GOATs. If you smell glue or failure, they're probably rip-offs. Best caption wins a free subscription to Pick and Roll. Good...
