http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4549 Recent articles about Richard Jefferson en-us Over the weekend, Richard Jefferson served up one of the meanest dunks of the season so far at the expense of Greg Oden. But it was the Oden and the Blazers who got the last laugh, beating the Spurs 96-84 on Friday.

Oddsmakers currently have the Spurs listed as 6½-point favorites versus the Raptors, while the game's total has not yet been posted.

After the last 2 games went horribly awry, the Spurs need a win to tread water.  Let me just say it up front:  I think they'll get that win tonight.  But how will it go down?  That's why we watch. Join us after the jump for your preview. In the last game, we learned that the new-look Spurs are capable of playing defense, thanks in large part to the efforts of Kei...

Just some notes before the jump.  I do play these games out in full to get the most realistic stats that I can.  I simply play my own style of game.  Full 4...

The Spurs have been very good for a long time. They are still very good. The offseason moves haven’t as much made them much better as [...] Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:49:41 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Blazers_Spurs_Pre_Thoughts/1510699 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Blazers_Spurs_Pre_Thoughts/1510699 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Blazers_Spurs_Pre_Thoughts/1510699 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/1/5/15bad8d1e269f7adffaa5672defe726c832cfce3/small/jefferson.jpg Another week, another TWSS post. Before we start, I want to bring to your attention a few changes we've made to the blog. The more observant among you might've noticed the new additions to our "PTR Fun Pages" section on the left sidebar: there are now a quotes page and a page for our BLAAAAIIIR images. Both will be regularly updated, so any quotes suggestions or Blairy images pasted during the game threads will be more than welcome. There's also the new and impro...

The summer roster changes created a lot of excitement.  The Jefferson trade, the draft, and the free agent signings.  I think all the excitement leads to some unreal expectations.  This becam...

Jefferson was injured Tuesday while working out at the Spurs' practice facility. X-rays were negative, and the 29-year-old swingman is expected to be re-examined next week. The Spurs called the injury minor. Training camp begins Sept. 29. Jefferson was the marquee addition in a busy offseason for San Antonio, coming to the Spurs in a four-player deal with Milwaukee.

Jefferson has been widely ridiculed for his decision to call off the engagement via email, but as Nichols admitted during an interview with Extra, the email merely confirmed a conversation the couple started the night befor...

He's setting the story straight about the Black AMEX, the shadiness, and the money. Oh, and the gayness. The original New York Post story implied that Jefferson dumped his fiance as she waited in a church with her dress on and then skipped town without even telling his guests. Then in a follow up story—that Jefferson even gave an interview for&mdash...

Jefferson would have started his first season with the Spurs as a euphoric newlywed, but had a recent change of heart. Jefferson called off his wedding to Kesha Nichols on Friday, the night before the ceremony was to take place. Nichols immediately notified her family and friends that the ceremony was off while Jefferson waited to notify his friends a few ...

So happy that he wasted no time in getting a few pics in his new jersey. With a basketball next to his head, of course. Isn't that how all NBA players pose?Look at that smile. He's definitely happy.
