Yesterday, during the Bulls’...

Alright, let’s all take a deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Because honestly… what even was that? The Spurs escaped New Orleans last night, and I mean escaped in the “shimmying out the bathroom window away from a fight you accidentally started” sense. One second they are cruising, clearly the better […]
Walkin’ fast, faces pass, and the Spurs are not yet homebound (they have one more game in Los Angeles before their next home game). Regardless, the good guys are just starin’ blankly ahead, just makin’ their way, makin’ a way through the crowd *and that third quarter (phew). Thankfully, the Spurs got back in the […]

A month and a half into the NBA season, those concerns seem officially put to bed. Queen put together the best performance […]
