Tim Duncan is still Tim Duncan, and as such, he will continue to play like Tim Duncan. Those are Gregg Popovich’s words, more or less, not mine. While making an appearance on SiriusXM NBA Radio (h/t Project Spurs), Pop talked about the kind of game Duncan will play for the San Antonio Spurs next season, [...]

Some thought the San Antonio Spurs would struggle to round out their bench after signing LaMarcus Aldridge. Those people are now bearing witness to the entire Spurs contingent taking a dump on their front lawn. The Spurs, against all logic, were able to retain Danny Green, Boris Diaw, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili even after [...]

This feels weird. Never in my (somewhat short) career writing about basketball have I come across this many San Antonio Spurs rumors on an almost daily basis. It’s unsettling, and weird, and mind-melting, and clearly indicative how their current core, in its present state, is nearing its end. Keeping with that theme, we now know [...]

The playoffs don’t feel right without the San Antonio Spurs. After watching the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets square off in the Game 1 of the second round, it feels even more wrong.

Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one before, because I know you have. LaMarcus Aldridge free-agency rumors are flying off these days. Most recently, he’s been linked to the San Antonio Spurs. Now two executives are telling ESPN New York’s Ian Begley that the All-Star power forward may be interested in the New York [...]

For someone who isn’t considered a free-agent flight risk, LaMarcus Aldridge sure seems like a free-agent flight risk. After declaring his loyalty to the Portland Trail Blazers over the summer, the rumor mill has started to turn on Aldridge. First a report surfaced that alleged his Blazers teammates are fearful he’ll leave in free agency. [...]

On Sunday night’s game one win (107-92) over the defending champs—Spurs. The Clippers played a very efficient game, especially at the offensive end with Chris Paul’s game-high of 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.
