Latest news and updates about the Spurs
The Spurs had been doing well at masking major absences, but couldn’t survive one more in their visit to Cleveland. Luke Kornet joined Victor Wembanyama in the injury report, and the blow to the interior defense was too severe to patch over. The Cavaliers scored 80 points in the paint and dominated the third quarter […]

Following their extremely successful regular season campaign last season, many pundits had the Cleveland Cavaliers slotted into one of the top positions of the Eastern Conference standings coming into this year.

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ uneven start to the season continued on Wednesday. They struggled to keep pace with a mediocre Portland Trail Blazers team and paid the price. We’ll see if they learned anything as they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. The Spurs are a good team, even without their all-world center. Vicktor […]

In 2008, Chris Paul was the most annoying person living rent-free in my head. During the Western Conference Semifinals, Paul averaged a very annoying 23.7 points and 10.7 assists per game in that series against my beloved San Antonio Spurs. He and David West (also a future former Spur) were the thorn in the Spurs’ […]

In 2006, at the edge of the northernmost settlement in Quebec, Canada, the diminutive Lydia Angyiou went toe-to-toe with a polar bear. This was, of course, not her idea per se. The small town of Ivujivik is a sub-arctic community, existing just 185 miles outside of the Arctic Circle, and roughly 1000 miles from the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
