Spurs take care of business against shorthanded Wizards
The Spurs now have the second-best record in the West and are on a six-game winning streak in the regular season after beating the Wizards 124-113. A great second quarter was enough for San Antonio to create a massive lead that a severely shorthanded Washington team fought hard to overcome, but fell short. Victor Wembanyama […]
San Antonio at Washington, Final Score: Spurs complete season sweep of Wizards, 124-113
Facing the worst team in the league for the 2nd time in 3 games, the San Antonio Spurs came into this one looking for their 10th road win this year and their first 6 game winstreak since March of 2019. A sluggish start to the game saw them trailing after the 1st quarter, but an […]

Open Thread: Victor Wembanyama tallies his 100th straight game with a block
On Friday night Victor Wembanyama blocked a shot for his 100th game in a row. Wemby is the leagues most elite shot blocker and shoo-in for Defensive Player of the Year if he can hit the required 65 game mark. But Victor Wembanyama doesn’t just block the ball, he is a human highlight machine. His […]

Stephon Castle is doing big things, and it’s just the beginning
Anytime someone finds themselves in the same sentence as Michael Jordan and Earvin “Magic” Johnson, they have done a lot right. Especially early in their careers, it could be a sign that they are becoming a special player. Stephon Castle is the latest to match those legends as a 21-year-old averaging at least 18 points […]
Highlights: Wemby shines in Spurs’ throttling of Hawks
Coming off a win against the Washington Wizards, the Spurs flew to Atlanta on a SEGABABA to take on the Hawks. The Spurs have been at full health for the past few games, while Atlanta had Trae Young return two nights ago versus Charlotte. Nonetheless, Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis were ruled out for the […]
What we learned from the Spurs win against the Hawks
A short trip home against the Washington Wizards felt like a mirage on this NBA odyssey that the San Antonio Spurs have been going on. The Spurs had been in 10 different cities since November 23rd. Through it all, they have thrived, toppling challenge after challenge. You’d think that this team would be showing signs […]
Open Thread: Happy birthday to De’Aaron Fox
In 2023, the Spurs drafted Victor Wembanyama, the most anticipated star since LeBron James. They needed someone who could control steer the ship, bring in leadership, and pair with a generational talent. On February 3rd, the San Antonio Spurs made a big trade — something they are not known for. But this move was special. […]
Spurs dominate depleted Hawks for (technically) their fifth straight win
There was no rest for the weary as the travel-worn Spurs were right back out on the road after a one-game stop at home the night before. This was second time in a little over two weeks that the Spurs traveled from San Antonio to an East Coast game the next night, losing an hour […]
San Antonio at Atlanta Hawks, Final Score: Spurs ground the Hawks 126-98
Tonight was the kind of game that you really want to see from a team that’s becoming a contender. The Spurs took a lead early and kept building on it throughout the game. The Hawks were on the second night of a back-to-back, as were the Spurs, but the home team looked like the more […]

Dylan Harper scores career-high in win over Wizards
It was a bit of a slow start for all of the San Antonio Spurs but one. The Silver and Black let the Washington Wizards stick around in the first half and blew them out in the second half to secure a 119-94 victory. It was the rookie, Dylan Harper, who was consistently great throughout […]
Open Thread: De’Aaron Fox named to 2025 Emirates NBA Cup All-Tournament Team

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Atlanta Hawks
Nearly 30 games into the season, the Atlanta Hawks find themselves in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. One of a handful of teams that are bunched together just a game back of the 3rd seed, head coach Quin Snyder’s group has remained competitive even without the services of Trae Young, who made […]
Dylan Harper shines in Spurs blowout win over Wizards
The Spurs returned home and secured their second win by over 20 points this season. A dominant second half that featured great performances by the young core led to a 119-94 victory that allowed Mitch Johnson to keep the regulars’ minutes low, a godsend considering the matchup against the Hawks on Friday. Victor Wembanyama once […]
San Antonio vs. Washington, Final Score: Spurs avoid Wizards’ trap, 119-94
After three straight games in the NBA Cup playoffs, the Spurs returned home to the ultimate trap game. They were in their own arena he first time since December 2, it was a regular season game with nothing immediate on the line, and they were facing the worst team in the league in the 4-20 […]

Open Thread: The Knicks winning the NBA Cup is not redemption for 1999
Kudos to the Knicks for winning the NBA Emirates Cup. As a Spurs fan, I obviously wanted them to win. But as a Spurs fan, I was impressed and honestly slightly astounded they made it to the Cup Finals. It hadn’t dawned on me and in previous years, I had not given the Cup competition […]
Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Washington Wizards
I don’t care what Adam Silver says, it’s weird to be writing about an ongoing win streak after your team loses the NBA Cup Final. The Spurs lost. I saw them lose. They went on a great tournament run, and now it’s over, and I’m supposed to simultaneously pretend that it was important, and also […]
Sights and Sounds from the NBA Cup Finals in Las Vegas
The start of some of the best ‘fanboy-like’ 36 hours of my decades of supporting the Spurs started on Monday after a very late lunch, which allowed me to return to my hotel and see a parade of San Antonio’s players and staff retreat to their secluded base. I briefly interrupted a very busy Mitch […]
Highlights: Seven players score in double figures in Emirates NBA Cup Final vs. Knicks
Coming off a dramatic Emirates NBA Cup semifinal versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Spurs took on the New York Knicks in the Emirates NBA Cup Championship game. What ensued was an intense back-and-forth track meet. While the game was close, the Spurs managed to be in control, especially in the third quarter. They even […]
What We Learned from the Spurs loss to the Knicks
Victor Wembanyama must be human after all, and despite losing in the Emirates Cup Final, the San Antonio Spurs can cope, knowing $212,373 is waiting for them for whatever they have in mind. The two-way players get half of the pot, too, but more than the money, the ride is what coach Mitch Johnson thinks […]
Open Thread: Spurs legend David Robinson is suing his partner
Saw this on social media: Spurs great David Robinson is seeking $34M in damages to funds diverted from Admiral Capital Group. Robinson played the entirety of his NBA career with the Spurs. From 1989 to 2003, Robinson earned NBA Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and two NBA championships. Additionally, the […]
Spurs’ fourth quarter meltdown vs. Knicks ends Cup title hopes
After perhaps their most satisfying victory in years — a win over the defending champion Thunder to get to the NBA Cup Finals — the Spurs had one more hurdle in their way of some hardware: the New York Knicks. The two teams have put out a couple of entertaining match-ups over the last couple […]
