Kelly Dwyer astutely points out what is very obvious to most fans: we are missing our 2nd and 3rd best players. That will wreak havoc with any team, but especially a team that relies on 3 very unique and gifted players. This is what makes games like last week's win over Dallas a mirage of sorts: yes, we can win (and play beautiful basketball) shorthanded; but in the end, you need your stars and best...
After last night's game, I was really not sure of what stat to use. I considered writing about how every time the Spurs were on the verge of making a run, they gave up a three point play or an offensive rebound. This game could really be summed up by the phrase, "momentum killing." It felt like I was punched in the stomach 36 times last night. Well, when I gave more thought to what exactly...
That was a tough game to lose. There are some really good signs from last nights game, but one thing that is really not good is the loss of Manu Ginobili . I haven't heard if he's going to be out for an extended period or if everything was just precautionary last night. Let's just hope that game last night didn't cost us more than a loss. On to the game.... The defense was pretty good last night. You...
I know, I know, this is a bit late, but I was at de beach, keikis! Time passes differently over there. If you want to know just how exactly the Spurs ruined their chances of having a completely positive week, read this post, after the jump. Here we'll provide information, links and summaries for all the games the Spurs played during the week, so that no one has to miss Pop sneering at a reporter. This...
This week was not just any week in the NBA when it comes to dunks. There were some monstrous ones that will not be soon forgotten. Here are your top 5 crazy slams of the last week. And of course, a Matt Bonner dunk may not be pretty, but you have to respect its scarcity.
TORONTO (2010 FIBA World Championship) – National team coach Leo Rautins and the rest of Canada’s basketball fans will be keeping their fingers crossed that Matt Bonner will represent the country at the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey. The American center should have no problem obtaining a Canadian passport as he is married to a ...
Are you not entertained'?? Well I am, after I watched the replay twice. But as many have mentioned , although a win is a win, you can't help but feel a little bit empty after a game like that, where we allowed a Euro team to drop 124 points on our home floor. A Spurs defense without its fangs is kinda similar to Stephon Marbury without the tattoo on his head. It just doesn't sound or look right. Okay,...
We were due for a good revenge game. A game when a scorned player sticks it to his former team, making them regret ever letting him go. Matt Bonner went all Brett Favre on the Raptors' asses last night, raining 3s and even exploding for a monster dunk . The other story from the game was one Mr. Emmanuel Ginobili. Oh my. Talk about a return to form. His final stat line was a ridiculous 36-4-8 with 4...

ah, that's right: 131-124. Not the way we're used to the Spurs winning games, and not exactly Pop's favorite way to win. But it was inevitable, and a W is a W. And that was fun, wasn't it? About an hour before the game, the Spurs sent out word that Tim Duncan would not be playing. At that moment, the fate of tonight's boxscore was sealed. Without Tim Duncan, the Spurs had no chance of guarding Toronto's...
No graphs, charts, photos or whatnot until we get a win. Move it. [Update: Aside from no Tony, no Timmy tonight as reported by Marc Stein via Twitter] Likely Starters: Toronto: Jose Calderon DeMar DeRozan Hedo Turkoglu Chris BoshAndrea Bargnani Spurs: George Hill Keith Bogans Richard Jefferson Matt Bonner Theo Ratliff Officials Eddie F. Rush Tony Brothers Phil Robinson Maybe Blair could start instead...
By Henry Abbott They won't often say it to the media, but you know they're thinking it. The people who run bad NBA teams watch the good teams and think: If I had those players, everyone would think I was a genius. Sometimes, though, they did have those players . As it happens, the NBA's best rosters -- the success stories like the Lakers, Celtics, Mavericks, Suns, Rockets and the like -- give heavy...
