Spurs hot streak goes cold late in loss to Timberwolves

The San Antonio Spurs have been riding high for the last two weeks. In the absence of Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, the team has secured big wins and earned its spot in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals.

Timberwolves 125, Spurs 112: Back-to-Back Jack

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 […]

Big night from the bench isn’t enough to save the Spurs in Minnesota

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 […]

The Spurs beat the Nuggets in Denver to advance to win their group and advance to the knockout stage of the Emirates NBA Cup.

Open Thread: Wemby is a Star Wars Fan

There are three things for which I am an avid fanatic- San Antonio Spurs, Star Wars, and Foo Fighters. One of my greatest joys is when the Spurs began hosting annual Star Wars nights. If they could somehow loop Dave Grohl in as Darth Vader, my universe would be complete. What’s better than getting Dave […]

Happy holidays, Pounders. I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving (for those who partook). I saw this online the other day and just wanted to share.

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets

Almost 3 years removed from winning the title, the Denver Nuggets have continued to stay in the championship mix, due in large part to the basketball wizardry that is Nikola Jokic. After 7-game losses in the Western Conference Semifinals each of the last two seasons, a slight shake-up was in order, moving off the massive […]
