Can a six-game losing streak be fun? The Dallas Mavericks (19-32) are hard at work testing psychological boundaries on the basketball court.

The trade deadline has passed. Some teams drastically improved their rosters, but most who did are thinking about next season. Others made it clear that winning is not their priority and shed talent to get ready for what could be an epic tank race. The Spurs stood pat, showing trust in their core Now that […]
The trade deadline came and went, and the Spurs were one of three teams that did nothing. San Antonio’s roster remains the same. Jeremy Sochan, who was the most likely player to be moved, is still around. There were no small moves around the edges, either. The quiet deadline will likely disappoint some, but it […]
Coming off a win against the Orlando Magic, the Spurs faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder for the fifth time this season. Before the game, it was announced that OKC’s starting five, plus some key rotation players, would be out due to their respective injuries.

It’s an inescapable reality that it takes a bit of luck to win an NBA championship. Look at the winners from any era, and you’ll see how attrition and misfortune affected the road.

The Silver & Black have kept busy off the court with a series of community events. On Tuesday, Spurs Sports & Entertainment, alongside San Antonio Sports, Behind the Whistle, and local school […]
The Dallas Mavericks are still feeling the aftermath of last season’s shocking Luka Doncic trade. They came away with the #1 overall pick last season, cashing that chip in by selecting Cooper Flagg out of Duke, but at 19-31 little else has gone their way. Reviled GM Nico Harrison was relieved of his duties in […]
The San Antonio Spurs walked onto the floor at Frost Bank Center knowing the circumstances were tilted in their favor. Oklahoma City arrived shorthanded, resting much of its regular rotation and leaning heavily on its bench. What followed, however, was not a quiet night or an easy victory. Instead, the Spurs had to earn every […]
The Thunder held two-thirds of their team out of the game tonight, and their skeleton crew of Jaylin Williams and four bench players, along with three two-way players made the Spurs work for a win. Maybe it’s excusable to let your focus slip a little when you’re not facing the other team’s best players, but […]
Thursday is not just for deals for your Dallas Mavericks. No, these Mavericks (19-31) are set for a home and home series with the southern foes on Interstate 35, the San Antonio Spurs (34-16).

Giannis Antetokounmpo could be on the move soon. The rumors about the superstar forward being ready to find a new home have become a reality, so a divorce from the Milwaukee Bucks seems inevitable and perhaps imminent. Antetokounmpo got injured recently, which led to speculation that he wouldn’t be traded until the offseason, but reports […]
Victor Wembanyama has been named Western Conference Defensive Player of the Month for his work in January, the league announced. The raw numbers are hard to argue with. Wemby was the only Western Conference player to get 100+ rebounds, 25+, and 10+ steals, according to Spurs PR. He did it while missing two games and […]
There isn’t anything interesting or exciting about the San Antonio Spurs vs. the Orlando Magic. The Magic are a young team that seemed on the rise last season under franchise players Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, but despite adding an offensive-minded and “emotional” (more on that below) veteran in Desmond Bane to help address some […]
Last week, it was reported that Jeremy Sochan’s camp was granted permission to talk to teams in the hopes of finding a landing spot via trade. The Knicks showed interest, valuing Sochan’s defense and tenacity. They offered a pair of French forwards Guerschon Yabusele and Pacome Dadiet in exchange for Sochan. The deal was nixed (pun […]
