Latest news and updates about the Spurs
The Spurs have now won three straight games by 25+ points, with a cumulative point differential during that span of +82. Since the start of 2012-2013, there are just 65 other instances in which a team has achieved a three-game point differential that high or higher at any point in the regular season. Granted, San […]
Per a Spurs press release: The San Antonio Spurs announced the launch of Spurs AI Studio, a new innovation platform designed to create AI-powered fan experiences in collaboration with leading brand partners. The platform allows the Spurs to deliver premium AI-driven experiences to their fans with interactive, personalized activations in-game and digitally. Spurs AI Studio […]
Professional troll Skip Bayless weighed in on the debate regarding Bears quarterback Caleb Williams’ attempted trademark of the “Iceman” nickname on Friday, and it appears the young quarterback has something to say back. “I’m a Caleb Williams fan,” Bayless tweeted. “But I was a much bigger Iceman Gervin fan, and I’m offended Caleb and Co. […]
Missing Giannis Antetokounmpo and most other major contributors, the Milwaukee Bucks got what was expected against a superior team with its full roster available, losing to the San Antonio Spurs 127-95. This loss eliminates them from playoff contention. Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio recap on the Bucks+ […]
The Spurs dominated a lowly opponent from wire to wire, as a contender should. Despite not getting a particularly great offensive performance from Victor Wembanyama, they found scoring from all over the floor on their visit to Milwaukee and played aggressive defense en route to an easy 127-95 win, sweeping their three-game road trip. As […]
The Milwaukee Bucks lost 127-95 to the San Antonio Spurs to drop their ninth of the last 11 games, eliminating them from playoff contention. The Bucks were missing all three Antetokounmbros, Bobby Portis, Kevin Porter, Jr., and Kyle Kuzma. Stephon Castle notched a 22-10-10 triple-double, with Victor Wembanyama not far behind with a near-miss at […]
Usually, these Victor Wemanyama – Giannis Antetokounmpo match-ups have been must-watch TV, but with the latter out along with several more members of the Bucks’ main rotation, it was another methodical Spurs blowout win against a struggling opponent. Things were clicking offensively for everyone not named Wemby in this one, and they used a full […]
It’s quite possible we’ve seen the last of Kevin Porter Jr. in 2025–26. Prior to today’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said that he would be “surprised” if KPJ played again this season. The news was initially reported by Eric Nehm of The Athletic. It’s been an injury-riddled season […]
When the Wizards played the Spurs in late December, Jamir Watkins spent a bunch of time guarding Victor Wembanyma. Wemby faces physical, dogged defenders who get up under him all the time. Watkins seemed to present a new challenge. The Wizards’ second round rookie mirrored Wemby’s lanky dribble and looked ready to rocket into the […]

The struggling Milwaukee Bucks face the white-hot San Antonio Spurs this afternoon at Fiserv, and there is potential for it to get really ugly, really fast; with Giannis already ruled out, Victor Wembanyama could run riot over the Bucks. A Spurs win today would mean they take the season series 2-0. Where We’re At The […]
In strange-but-true news, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has filed to trademark the word “Iceman” for his merchandise line. If the name “Iceman” sounds familiar, it’s because San Antonio Spurs legend George Gervin has been using it for over half a century. The Hall of Fame baller has taken action by filing trademark requests for […]
Oh, how quickly empires fall. For the longest time, I would try to carve out an opening in my writing schedule for at least one or two games against the Bucks. Even when the Spurs were at their worst, I wanted to see what would happen. The Bucks served as a measuring stick for me; […]
This is an exciting time. For the first time since 2019, the Spurs are heading to the playoffs. There are only nine games left in the regular season. If watching games surrounded by equally frenzied fans in a family-friendly environment, the The Rock at La Cantera has got you covered this weekend. On Saturday, the […]
The Spurs are on a seven-game win streak and seem to be peaking at the right time, just as the playoffs near. They’ve looked like one of the best teams in the league for a while, but they have been playing like a true contender since the All-Star break and have fully separated themselves from […]
Coming off a dominant win against the Miami Heat, the Spurs traveled to the FedEx Forum to take on the Memphis Grizzlies for the final time this season. De’Aaron Fox and Luke Kornet did not play due to their respective injuries, and the Grizzlies had eight players ruled out. As a result, Dylan Harper started […]
Out of all of the San Antonio Spurs’ blowout victories over the last month, Wednesday’s 123-98 win over the Memphis Grizzlies felt different. It wasn’t too long ago when the Spurs were on the other end of games like this – playing multiple players on 10-day contracts and two-ways. Those were brutal, demoralizing losses that […]
Now that I’m writing these recap articles, blowouts like this can be a little frustrating. The reason is that I find myself looking at the box score as the second half progresses and thinking things like, “Wow, the Spurs could hold Memphis to 70 points on 20 field goals if they really wanted to, but […]
Last night in Memphis Victor Wembanyama tallied seven more blocks. That is his most blocks in game this season since tallying 9 in their October 24th overtime win against the New Orleans Pelicans, the second game of their season. With a grand total of 610 blocks, Wemby elevates to 230th all-time moving past Jamaal Magloire, […]
The night never really gave the Memphis Grizzlies a chance to breathe. From the opening tip, the San Antonio Spurs played like a team with something to prove—sharp, connected, and relentless. The ball moved with purpose, the defense swarmed, and by the time the first quarter buzzer sounded, San Antonio had already built a cushion that felt heavier than […]
Another inferior, short-handed opponent, another Spurs blowout victory. It seems San Antonio is done taking lesser teams lightly as they continued their trend of blowing everyone out, both good and bad. This time, the Memphis Grizzlies were the victim. While the Spurs admittedly got complacent and took the second quarter off after a 38-19 start, […]

On February 20th, I wrote a fan post in which I introduced a metric called the Average Four Factor Index (aFFI). I won’t provide a full primer on the index here (interested readers can find one in the original fan post by clicking here), but the TLDR explanation is that the aFFI is designed to […]
The Memphis Grizzlies have been a disaster this season. It’s been an even worse season for Ja Morant, as he’s only managed to play in 20 games due to a litany of injuries. Morant, who was looked at a few years ago and one of the young star faces of the league, has had a […]
They’re 16-2 since the All-Star break. They’re relatively healthy. They seem like they’re not only rounding into form but, quite possibly, existing in the roundest form any of us could’ve possibly imagined. I found myself at various times during the broadcast almost wanting to turn it off because it felt too bright. Too pure. Almost […]
