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...
The Curse of Drew Gooden

Sometimes the game can turn on a single sequence. Up 2 in OT, George Hill drives the lane. The ball is bouncing around the rim, and Duncan has a chance to tap it in, giving us a commanding 4 point lead and momentum. Instead, Duncan leaves the tap short, the Mavs grab the board, Duncan...
The Ugly Truth

I just finished watching The Ugly Truth, a crappy romantic comedy that was neither romantic nor a comedy. I didn't once laugh out loud, I felt no empathy for the characters, nor did I believe any of their emotional growth. It was predictable, unengaging, and frankly, the two leads...

Ah. Last night's game was like catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a long time. And you don't even realize how long it's been until you're finally sitting down face to face, rehashing the old stories, laughing at the same silly inside jokes that cracked...

We were due for a good revenge game. A game when a scorned player sticks it to his former team, making them regret ever letting him go. Matt Bonner went all Brett Favre on the Raptors' asses last night, raining 3s and even exploding for a monster dunk. The other story from the...

I love watching NBA games live. It gives you such a unique perspective and feel for the game. You can better understand the flow of the action and how certain players impact the game positively and negatively. When you remove yourself from the constant stat updates and the announcers...

As in San Antonio, and every other city in the Association.Granted, it's a very small sample size, but at the moment, we look unbeatable at home, and like complete horse manure on the road. I know we're the Spurs, and we're not supposed to get worked up about early season...

Are you kidding me? Did Manu really just swat a bat out of midair? That's insane. Anybody who has been around a bad knows how terrifying they are, and how incredibly difficult it would be to just swat one out of the air. But there's Ginobili, sizing it up, then WHAM, out of...

Oh, boy, that was a fun game. After a slow start in which the offense looked totally discombobulated, we rattled off back to back 30+ point quarters en route to a 113-96 victory over the Hornets that wasn't even as close as the final score indicated. There were 2 surprises to start...

The New York Times doesn't come to mind when one thinks of sports writing, let alone coverage of the NBA. When it comes to pro basketball, the Times is very much a regional paper, favoring stories about the Knicks and Nets first and foremost.Which is why I was so pleasantly surprised...

ESPN's Bill Simmons has published his annual NBA Preview. In typical Simmons fashion, it is a list of the 33 most intriguing figures for the upcoming season. Two Spurs make appearances on the list. #33 is Manu Ginobili, saying what we've all been saying for months: without...

Over at 48MoH, Timothy Varner has a very interesting post regarding the ownership of the team on the floor. He makes some excellent points and hits the nail on the head when he talks about Duncan seamlessly passing the torch to Parker, much the same way that Robinson did for Duncan...

Boy, have I missed you.The months of August and September can be very long ones for NBA fans. The hoopla of the 'offseason' is over, and most of the big moves have been made. All that's left is a bunch of sound and fury signifying nothing. And bored, rich young men getting...

On Yahoo! Sports yesterday, Ball Don't Lie ranked the top 10 NBA general managers of the last decade. Guess who's number one:We don't know how much impact Gregg Popovich has had on Buford's wheelings and dealings, and R.C. has had help (current Oklahoma City GM Sam...

'Sheed is gone to Boston. All the dreams (and nightmares) of Wallace wearing the Silver and Black can now be put to rest. I was really high on 'Sheed, and I think that this is a great pick up for the Celtics. And one way or another, we still need to find a veteran big man to...
