It always feels odd to write a preview for a game that has essentially just happened. And yet, just about every season since these home-home mini-series have been instituted, I’ve ended up doing just that. I’m not sure how I manage to do it so consistently.

The 7-foot-5 forward moved carefully, probing but never truly penetrating the Chicago Bulls’ defense. He came into the game on a slump, averaging just around 17 points per game over the previous three games. His […]

In another offbeat Spurs video, the team was asked which mode of travel they’d utilize to go fromSan Antonio to Austin if a car was not an option. Horse seems to be the go-to answer. But helicopter makes a lot of sense. Loved that Luke Kornet was thinking of building a canoe and using a […]
