So, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are unavailable for a second straight game. Last game, we played defense for about 1 minute, but we can't get away with that tonight. So, how is Pop feeling after that defensive "performance" on Monday night? Let's take a look at his game plan. Yeah, just like we thought. Ian Mahinmi might actually be useful in a game like this(if he could stop fouling), but...

Yes, there's a Spurs game on Halloween night. No, we're not making any more references to the fact that it's Halloween. OK, that was a lie. GAME PREVIEW IS HERE Yeah, we're playing the Kings. The schedule makers couldn't have made a Halloween thread any easier. Any hack could do this. I mean, Burger King's already done all the work for me. However, the Spurs are doing their best to keep up. Just a...

As the Spurs get ready to begin their march towards a fifth NBA Title, we say goodbye to those who have departed: Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto, Kurt Thomas, Ime Udoka, Jacque Vaughn and Drew Gooden. We wish them the best of luck in the next chapter of their lives. We also wholeheartedly welcome the changes made by the Spurs during the offseason. "I just think it’s a different time in the...

No TV once more, it seems. But who cares when you can look at the boxscore and imagine Blair rampaging through Tokyo ? Oh, and by the way, Manu's not playing because he'll be in Austin against OKC.

This is why pre-season kind of sucks. The Clippers can go to San Antonio, into a building where they have literally never won a game, and come up with a 93-90 come-from-behind win... and it doesn't mean squat....

Actually, the above should be silverandblack_davis AND LatinD. Because you know, two heads are more hackish than one. Our thoughts, and hopefully yours, too, after Blair's ACL-less jump. Air Blair. What kind of preseason is this? How can we be so excited about a team's second unit that we waste hours listening to a game on the radio and then decide to write about it even when we were only able to experience...

I know what you are thinking. Why today, ATS? Why today for a team preview when the preseason has just started? Well, today is my day. As part of blogger preview organized by Jeff at CelticsBlog, I've got the Spurs on Saturday, October 10th. So let's get down to it. With the Spurs offseason acquisitions putting them well into luxury tax land for the first time, there is only one sufficient outcome...

OK, let's make this live up to the whole "quick" thing. All I have to go by is a box score, and several PtR members were at this game, so one or more of them should be able to drop a full recap on us. Tonight the Spurs squared off against Olympiacos B.C., and beat them in convincing fashion(did you expect anything less'), 107-89. One look at the box score will tell you a few things: The Leaders...

By now, everyone knows that the Spurs recently signed Curtis Jerrells and Keith Bogans. That makes 19 players that will be at training camp for the Spurs, with one spot still left to be filled. Let's explore the impact of this a little bit more, especially the Bogans signing. Who's the lucky new Spur? A Good Problem to Have With Bogans now onboard, these 14 players have guaranteed contracts for the...

Eurobasket is really heating up. In a few hours France -- the undefeated team starring the remarkable Tony Parker -- will meet Spain, which is everyone's presumed favorite in this game and the tournament. The Painted Area's Jay Aych writes : After sleepwalking through the start of the tourney, Spain has turned up the heat the last two games, looking like the España we expected, while the undefeated...

What a tough draw for a France team that has dominated the tournament. This should be a hell of a war. Tip off is 2:00pm Spurs time (I think). You can find links to the box score and updates for the game at EuroBasket's home page . I don't have time to give you a proper LatinD style preview, but I can tell you this: there are a lot of NBA players in this game. France , as we know, has Tony Parker ,...

The endless summer for the French mens basketball team continues. The team is undefeated thus far in tournament play, which is actually quite surprising, given their history of choking. Don't feel bad, random Macedonian defender - it happens to NBA players, too. We're going to be concentrating on players who are associated with the Spurs, obviously. Follow me beyond the jump for more Eurobasket than...

In a Ptr Poll conducted last week we learned that DeJuan Blair (45%) barely edges-out Richard Jefferson (38%) as the favorite or most exciting "new" Spur this season. So to follow that up, this week we're asking: Who is your favorite "not-new" Spur? Not-new is the best term we could come up with. God knows we didn't want to use "old" and Spur in the same sentence. And...
