Hello fellow Spurs fans! Having been a follower of Pounding the Rock for years, I had previously thought about joining in on the conversation many times, but always found a reason to stay on the sideline. That finally changed in 2026, and over the last few months I have enjoyed becoming part of the community […]
Following a 5-1 home stand, the Spurs kicked off their road trip Monday night against a Kawhi-less Clippers team, narrowly escaping with a win. The Spurs got off to a sluggish start, falling behind 17-3 in just the first four minutes of the game. It didn’t help that LAC started hot from deep, hitting three […]
The San Antonio Spurs got their 50th win of the season against the Clippers in Los Angeles. They dominated the glass and got significant contributions from Area 51 plus more. It’s their first time reaching that many wins since 2016-17, and they still have 14 games left. They came out stumbling like they had the […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs took care of the Hornets on Saturday, and face […]
The last time the San Antonio Spurs faced the Los Angeles Clippers, we saw a viscerally emotional Victor Wembanyama. The 25-point comeback on the second night of a back-to-back was one of the hardest games of Wembanyama’s life, according to him. Now the Spurs will be better rested as they travel to Los Angeles for […]
“Aspiration” is a funny word. In one context, it’s the kind of corporate-sounding buzzword you might associate with some fake environmental company allegedly planting trees while secretly funneling money to star players to circumvent the NBA salary cap. But in medical terms, aspiration is something much less glamorous. It’s what happens when your saliva or […]
Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles ClippersDate: March 11th, 2026Time: 9:30 PM CDTLocation: Aspiration DomeTelevision Coverage: FanDuel Sports Network – NorthRadio Coverage: KFAN FM, Wolves App, iHeart Radio It’s a funny thing about ladders. They take forever to climb. You’re careful with every step. You grip the sides, feel your way upward, and slowly gain ground. […]
With last night’s 126–118 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, their second straight defeat, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beating the Philadelphia 76ers 115–101, the cushion the New York Knicks once had in the standings is suddenly very thin. New York now holds just a half-game lead over Cleveland for the No. 3 seed in the […]
Still smarting from the previous day’s drubbing by the Lakers, the Knicks (41*-25) bounced over to the Intuit Dome to challenge the LA Clippers (32-32). Redemption was not in the cards, however. The visitors spent most of the night digging out of holes they had dug themselves. 20 turnovers, cold shooting, and long Clippers runs […]
After yesterday’s stinker against the Lakers, the Knicks (41*-24) get an LA mulligan against the Clippers (31-32) at the Intuit Dome. LA has gone 25-11 after a 6-21 start, powered by Kawhi Leonard’s monster year (27.9 PPG). Fatigue could be a concern for our heroes in this one, especially for Cap, who logged 42 minutes […]
Coming off a miraculous comeback win against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Spurs took on the Houston Rockets for their last meeting of the regular season. After a back-and-forth first quarter, the Spurs’ offense exploded, outscoring the Rockets 37-24 in the second. Coming into the third quarter with a 12-point lead, the Spurs’ offense continued […]
Yesterday afternoon, the Knicks Knicks (41*-24) laid an egg in Los Angeles against the Lakers. Tonight brings a chance for redemption as they challenge the Clippers (31-32) at the Intuit Dome. Over their last ten games, both New York and the Clips have gone 6-4. They last met on January 7, when the ‘Bockers won […]
The Spurs are having arguably their best stretch of the season, following a win against the Clippers in their return home from the Rodeo Road Trip. San Antonio has only dropped one of their last 15 games, and it was to the Knicks, another contender that is firing on all cylinders. The success has been […]
Seriously, what can happen watching an NBA game in March 2026 as a fan of a team with a 44-and-17 record in the Western Conference? Not much, right? Probably just another win. Or a loss. Losses have become a rare thing, as of late, but who cares? The Spurs are going to make the playoffs […]
For much of the night, it felt like the San Antonio Spurs were simply trying to survive. Shots weren’t falling. The defense was a step slow. And the Los Angeles Clippers looked firmly in control, building a lead that swelled to 25 points and silencing the home crowd. But basketball games, especially ones involving this young Spurs team, have […]
The San Antonio Spurs escaped from the jaws of defeat with an epic comeback against the Los Angeles Clippers on the second night of a back-to-back. They also closed the distance further in the standings with the Oklahoma City Thunder (2.5). A few artillery strikes uncorked the Spurs’ offense, and Devin Vassell and a few […]

Entering this season with the oldest roster in the NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers had an absolutely brutal start to the year, a 2-13 November being the biggest indicator that it would be a challenging season. Summer acquisition Bradley Beal fractured his hip just 6 games into the season and was lost for the year, […]
While the All-Star break can serve as a chance to rest and recuperate before going on a run to close the season, it can disrupt teams’ rhythm and create another hurdle. For the Lakers, it’s definitely been the latter. After beating the Clippers in its first game out of the break, LA lost three straight […]
Anthony Edwards hit another one of those “are you kidding me?” threes Thursday night. The Wolves were trying to survive late, the Clippers were hanging around, and then Ant rises, launches, and basically ends the game with a shot that makes you do the involuntary living-room walk-around. For anyone who’s actually been watching Minnesota the […]
Sorry to spoil the recap, but everything that happened tonight was exactly as you would’ve expected. You would think that after three whole days off, the Los Angeles Clippers would be well-rested against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They had just thrashed the Wolves by 19 at Target Center a few weeks ago, as Kawhi Leonard dominated […]
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles ClippersDate: February 26th, 2026Time: 9:00 PM CSTLocation: Aspiration DomeTelevision Coverage: Prime Video, FanDuel Sports Network – NorthRadio Coverage: Wolves App, iHeart Radio There are two versions of the 2025-26 Minnesota Timberwolves, and at this point I’m convinced they share custody of the same locker room. Version A is the Sunday […]
The Houston Rockets wrapped up a tough seven-game stretch across the All-Star break at 3-4. It started poorly with two bad losses, but after a bit of recovery, Rockets fans should feel like there was meat left on the bone in losses to the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. On paper, tonight’s game […]
While many Cleveland Cavaliers fans were blindsided by the Darius Garland trade to the Los Angeles Clippers, the one person who was not was Garland himself. “It was going to happen regardless, either at the [trade] deadline or this summer,” Garland told Marc J. Spears at Andscape. “[My agent] Rich [Paul] had that conversation with […]
In their first game back from the All-Star break, the Lakers beat the Clippers 125-122. The game began with Brook Lopez going on a personal 5-0 run for the Clippers. Austin Reaves scored the first five points for the Lakers. The offense started to pick up for the Lakers, who were now shooting 80% from […]
