Latest news and updates about the Spurs
I’m not privy to professional sports teams’ schedules when the players fly in at 4 AM for a 7 PM (eastern time I assume) game that same day. Do the coaches let them sleep in until noon? Hotel breakfast hits different on 2 – 4 hours of sleep. Why do they stop serving breakfast at […]

Did anyone catch the Spurs game against Phoenix last week? Jacob Tobey and Sean Elliott asked a trivia question in which the winner received an autographed photo of Tobey. The photo that was displayed on screen was of Tobey in a head-to-toe money suit. Elliott had some fun with Tobey, comparing him to a Batman […]

One night after an exciting win at home against the Grizzlies, the Spurs found themselves right back out on the road for another four-game road trip. They didn’t land in Orlando until 4 AM and are already shorthanded, so anyone who saw this as a scheduled loss could be excused. However, this Spurs team is […]

I currently reside in the great state of Tennessee. I love it here. Honky tonks, the Smoky Mountains, BBQ, Davey Crockett, the whole deal. It’s a wonderful place to live and I am having a great time. The thing is, and I know this is a uniquely me problem and not especially relevant to most […]

Ever since joining the Spurs, Harrison Barnes has been the model of consistency. He has started and played in every game with San Antonio. He’s on par to reflect his last two seasons in Sacramento where he hadn’t missed a game since the 2021-2022 season. But it’s not just his durability. Barnes offers a vet […]

In a lot of ways, the San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic are similar teams on a similar trajectory. After years of suffering caused (in part) by betrayal from previous franchise players, they both found new ones with the top overall pick in consecutive years and have been building from there. As Victor Wembanyama and […]

I’ve searched long and hard for a unique take on this game. Trust me. I went deep into the Take Mines armed with ropes, ladders, flashlights, pickaxes, dynamite, the whole prospector starter pack. I hunted for hours. Hours that felt like days. I scoured every corner, flipped every rock, and vowed not to rest until […]

Coming into this weekend, it felt like the Minnesota Timberwolves were in a precarious spot. They had lost their previous three games, two of which in disastrous fashion, were sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference standings, and still hadn’t defeated a team with a winning record with two straight nights against winning teams […]

The San Antonio Spurs folded in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, going 2-2 on their nine-day road trip. The latter was on the second night of a back-to-back, but they still had the legs to down a surplus of jumpers, and San Antonio’s half-court defense was shredded, which was ultimately their undoing. The Spurs weren’t facing […]
