San Antonio Spurs

Rare is the NBA free-agent-to-be who divulges his plans months or years in advance. Marc Gasol is no exception. The 2015 free-agent class is loaded with star possibilities. From Goran Dragic to Rajon Rondo to Kevin Love to LaMarcus Aldridge to DeAndre Jordan and others, this upcoming summer will be awash with available talent. Slowly, [...]

There’s a lot for the NBA to be thankful for this time of year. Stephen Curry’s bombs; Marc Gasol’s everything; the Mavericks offense; the Kings’ illogical record; Jimmy Butler’s surge; Anthony Davis’ god mode; San Antonio being San Antonio; Damian Lillard’s cold-bloodedness; and so much more. Truth told, there is also plenty the league could [...]

Kevin Love needs time. Just like the rest of his Cavaliers teammates need time to jell, he needs time to understand his functions and role within the team’s offense. And he knows this. He admitted as much following Cleveland’s 92-90 loss to the Spurs, per Northeast Ohio Media Group’s Chris Fedor: It appears Miami’s Chris [...]

Holy crap, the Warriors are good. I could stop there, because that’s all you need to know. They’re taking over the NBA one game at a time, and assuming health, won’t be stopping anytime soon. Nor will I, because you deserve more than some pre-rankings Warriors-loving. So with that in mind, here’s a choppy portrait [...]

Nice calves. Dude, where’s your pogo-sticking vampire squid? The Spurs are interested in making a free-agency splash. Those are all things you don’t hear everyday. Lucky for you, today is not everyday. No, you don’t have nice calves. Get over it. And if you have a pogo-sticking vampire squid, hit me up on Twitter or [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

Allow me to tell you a secret. Injuries suck. The NBA has been a hotbed for injuries and sad storylines early on, and it sucks and blows simultaneously. So, too, does the whole early-season confusion. There is so much inconsistency around the Association this time of year. Good teams aren’t good, bad teams aren’t bad, [...]

You guys. It wasn’t a dream. The NBA is still back. Shhh. Stop fist-pumping and -bumping and -twerking so loudly. You might scare the regular season away. There. That’s better. The first week of the 2014-15 season was crazy. There were plenty of exciting games, and even more devastating injuries.  There were surprise wins, and [...]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. The NBA is back. Like, really back. Not summer-league back. Not FIBA World Cup back. Not training camp back. Not preseason back. Regular-season back. The Hoop Doctors’ totally awesome, not-at-all restrained power rankings back. That’s right. After a months-long hiatus—during which time yours [...]
