PtR Quick Cap: Spurs Ease Past Sixers

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:47:00 -0500

The Spurs didn't blow the Sixers out, but the Sixers never really threatened to win it either. It was a strange game in that way. You couldn't just kick back and relax, but you also never got the feeling they could beat us. The Spurs never trailed after the 10:00 mark of the second quarter. The Sixers had closed the lead to two late in the third when the Spurs 8-0 run extended the lead to 10 heading into the fourth. The Sixers never got closer t...

Game Preview #12: Milwaukee Bucks at San Antonio Spurs

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:29:20 -0500

Not bad, guys, not bad. Yes, it was the Wizards, and yes, it was at home, but that W counts just as much toward the standings as the W we earn on the road against a championship contender (don't worry, we'll get one someday). Now we just need to amass a few more, starting with a win against the Milwaukee Brandons. Yeah, remember how excited you all were when you traded for me? How 'bout now? I'm getting there, right? Rage contributed 15 and finally looked comfor...

The Spurs Went Streaking In Dismantling of the Wizards

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:40:56 -0500

Saturday night the San Antonio Spurs whipped up on the Washington Wizards 106-84. Tonight's focus was momentum. For the most part, the Spurs had it all night. Streaks The first quarter was pretty uneven and a little ragged for the bulk of it. The Spurs got off to a quick 5-0 lead and then the Wizards made some shots. Then Tim clanged away from the perimeter -- he was 1-5 on elbow jumpers on an 8 possession stretch from 8:33 until 5:14. Then the W...

NBA Live 10 Simulation (4):: San Antonio Spurs @ Dallas Mavericks

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:44:04 -0500

First off, just wanted to say sorry for the lateness on this. I try to get them up the morning of game days but had to do some 'honey dos' before I could play, hehe. Outcome after the jump. Virtual Dirk lit us up for 27! Well, I didn't think this day would come and it has and I am dreading typing this out right now. Dirk Nowitzki lit us up for 27 points and the Mavericks at one point were crushing me by 21. Though we were down to start the fourth period, I h...

Sacramento Kings @ San Antonio Spurs

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:00:34 -0500

Yes, there's a Spurs game on Halloween night. No, we're not making any more references to the fact that it's Halloween.OK, that was a lie. GAME PREVIEW IS HERE Yeah, we're playing the Kings. The schedule makers couldn't have made a Halloween thread any easier. Any hack could do this. I mean, Burger King's already done all the work for me. However, the Spurs are doing their best to keep up. Just a guess here, but Ian Mahinmi...

Spurs vs. Thunder: Stat of the Game

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:21:21 -0500

20 points 6-7 FGM-A in 16 minutes, 9 points 3-5 FGM-A in 17 minutes. Those are Michael Finley's and Matt Bonner's stats, respectively. I don't know about you, but the fact that they produced this well in the starting lineup made me cringe, just slightly. So, should we expect to see these two in the starting lineup against the Hornets? Is Coach Pop seriously considering only starting 3 of the Spurs' best 5 players? I think the answer is '...

Introducing Our New Favorite NBA Reporter

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:57:21 -0500

A week ago, it was our new favorite announcer (the Panthers' Randy Moller), but today I give you the NBA mind that is sweeping through the Great White North. That mind comes from a Canadian named Kayvon, and he would like to introduce you to the San Antonio Spurs.... "He looks like Michael Finley to me", is going to be my new catch phrase from here on out. Kayvon is actually an cult Internet hero in Canada, and he doesn't just stop with NBA Players! He even tackles the like...
