Latest news and updates about the Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs denied the Detroit Pistons revenge in the first game at Frost Bank Center since Feb. 7. The difference was that they got everything they wanted at 0-3 feet, plus got a nice boost from second opportunities and playing in transition. They kept it simple early, running one of the most successful plays […]

Oh, man, am I ready for the Spurs to be home. Probably not as ready as they are after all the time on the road, but excited all the same. The Rodeo Road Trip was a huge success and nearly perfect, sans the loss in Madison Square Garden. That said, following up the loss with […]

It’s been 26 days since the Spurs last played in their home venue of the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, TX. Sure, they had a couple of “home” games in Austin to break up the annual Rodeo Road Trip a bit, but that still counts as travel and not sleeping in their own beds, […]

The Spurs are back to their winning ways after a stumble in New York. They demolished the shorthanded 76ers in a 40-point blowout that saw eight players finish with 10 points or more. Among those 8 players, Victor Wembanyama was the closest to not reaching double digits. The big man only took five shots in […]

The Spurs knew the 76ers would be shorthanded coming into last night’s game in Philadelphia, with Joel Embiid out with an oblique strain and Paul George serving 25-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. What they didn’t know was just how quickly and badly they would overwhelm a squad that still had All-Star Tyrese […]

During NBC’s broadcast of the Spurs vs. 76ers on Tuesday March 3rd, they ran Episode 4 of Jayson Tatum’s Documentary ‘The Quiet Place.’ For as much speculation that has gone on about his return, the documentary dropping this quickly feels like a good sign that Tatum is coming back sooner rather than later. At the […]

If any of us were worried about the lingering aftereffects from that loss in New York on Sunday, this was a great litmus test to reveal exactly where you fall on the half-full, half-empty divide of life’s great optimism scale. You can look at the 131 points they scored on 55% shooting from the field […]

On Tuesday night, NBC flashed back to the 1990s and the result was more entertaining than any episode of Friends I’ve seen. With the NBA once more on the network this season as part of the league’s changing media rights landscape, NBC did a retro broadcast of the Sixers-Spurs game in Philadelphia. I adored it, […]

Poke the bear and you get the horns. Something like that. Everyone and their tax advisor knew that coming off their first lost in 10 games, the Spurs would come out swinging on Tuesday night. Boy howdy, did they wax the cow off that haystack. Devin Vassell and Dylan Harper both had a game high […]

The music never really stopped inside the Wells Fargo Center. By the middle of the third quarter, the only suspense left was how high the lead would climb. The San Antonio Spurs didn’t just beat the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night — they overwhelmed them, dismantled them, and left no doubt in a 131-91 runaway that felt decided long […]

San Antonio closed out an 8-1 Rodeo Road Trip with a 131-91 whipping of Philadelphia that saw eight Spurs get to double-digits scoring. Despite NBC’s pregame focus on the Sixers’ excellent starting guards, it was the Spurs’ perimeter players that stood tallest in a stunning 81-39 explosion across the second and third quarters that led […]

As if things weren’t going poorly enough, the Sixers will play the second half vs. the Spurs without VJ Edgecombe. The rookie guard injured his back after being fouled by Carter Bryant in the closing seconds of the first half. Edgecombe was able to get up and walk under his own power. He took the […]

After bottoming out last season with the 3rd worst record in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers have been a fun but flawed team this year, in large part due to yet another impressive leap from lead guard Tyrese Maxey as well as the promising potential of rookie shooting guard VJ Edgecombe. As for their […]
