Has it really been almost nine years? Yes, that’s how long it’s been since my most recent personal playoff climax. Sure, the Spurs made the playoffs in 2018 and 2019. But those series can’t even remotely compete with what happened in the early hours of May 10, 2017 (May 9 in the US). I had […]

Every game after the All-Star break feels like it carries more weight, especially for a team that is within striking distance of the first seed, and another that can still secure home-court advantage in the first round. The San Antonio Spurs are the hottest team in the NBA with nine straight wins, five of which […]
“You can’t curate your circumstances,” said Mark Daigneault before the Oklahoma City Thunder played the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night, and that stuck with me.

This time around they’ll face […]
