San Antonio Spurs

Do you want to spend a day hanging with Boris Diaw and Manu Ginobili? Of course you do. Especially now. Ginobili tweeted the following photo ahead of the Thursday night drubbing the San Antonio Spurs handed out to the Phoenix Suns: Foto con nuestros clones en Phoenix esta mañana. With our clones this AM in [...]

Boris Diaw is a role model…for Manu Ginobili. Ever the energetic contributor, Diaw needs to get regular caffeine fixes. Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News recently relayed the story of how Biaw was rescued from drinking pre-game sludge the AT&T Center, the San Antonio Spurs’ home court, passed off as coffee. He now has [...]

The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs appear to be playing on a whole separate level than the rest of the NBA at the midway point of the season. They are a combined 72-10 in 82 games (an 88% winning percentage) while the rest of the league is a combined 558-575 (a 49% winning [...]

By now you know the San Antonio Spurs are kind of good at this whole basketball thing. Though the Golden State Warriors’ pursuit of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record 72 victories has justifiably earned much of the spotlight, the Spurs themselves are on pace to win 70 games, mostly because they’re the freaking Spurs, but [...]

David Blatt is at it again. No, the Cleveland Cavaliers head honcho isn’t spouting fighter-pilot analogies. He is, however, comparing San Antonio Spurs jack of all tradesman Boris Diaw to English singer and songwriter David Bowie, who just passed away on Jan. 10. From Fran Blinebury of NBA.com: David Blatt just compared Boris Diaw to [...]

It has to suck playing in the NBA’s Western Conference. Unless you’re the Warriors or Spurs. Then it’s probably pretty chill. For those other 13 squads? Yeah, it sucks. Especially for the good-to-great contingents. The Clippers. The Thunder. The Mavericks, too. They scrap and they claw and they win, and yet no matter what they [...]

Boris Diaw wins life. Following the San Antonio Spurs’ 123-98 shellacking of the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night—which was their ninth victory by at least 25 points, the most in NBA history through 37 games, according to Basketball-Reference—Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News relayed some wildly awesome, yet somehow totally predictable information: You're gonna [...]

Gregg Popovich doesn’t care that he was named NBA’s Coach of the Month for the Western Conference. And if the league wants him to care, it better break open its piggy bank. Because coach Pop won’t give a crap about monthly awards of any kind until they come accompanied with a car or yacht or [...]

Oh, hello there, 2016. We almost didn’t see you come in, not with the 2015-16 NBA season unfolding exactly how it wasn’t supposed to. Sure, we knew the Spurs would be really good, even if we didn’t know they’d be historically awesome. We knew the Warriors would be great. We knew the Cavaliers would be, too. [...]

Tim Duncan was held scoreless in 13 minutes in the San Antonio Spurs 121-103 victory over the Houston Rockets in San Antonio Saturday night. This was the first time in Tim Duncan’s 19-year career that he was held scoreless in a game and broke his NBA record streak of 1,360 straight games without being held [...]
