San Antonio Spurs vs. Minnesota Timberwolves series preview

The Spurs will host the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Monday as heavy favorites despite the uncertainty surrounding Anthony Edwards’ status. Even if the injured superstar guard returns, he’ll likely be limited by two knee injuries, so San Antonio is expected to win this series, as long as they play […]

Report: Anthony Edwards could return to action sooner than expected

Anthony Edwards might not miss much of the Timberwolves’ series against the Spurs, per reports. He had been making progress and was initially likely to suit up in Game 3 or Game 4, according to ESPN’s Sham Charania.

Open Thread: Chris Paul reminisces on his time with the Spurs

Future Hall of Famer Chris Paul retired midseason after twenty-one seasons on the hardwood. Paul, considered one of the greatest point guards of all time, spent his last full season with the San Antonio Spurs. The pairing of CP3 with Victor Wembanyama was regarded as great mentorship.

Victor Wembanyama Disses the Trail Blazers

The San Antonio Spurs had relatively little trouble disposing of the Portland Trail Blazers in their recent best-of-seven, first-round NBA Playoffs series. San Antonio won the matchup 4-1. They’re now on their way to face the severely-injured Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round while Portland heads into a summer of retooling and evolution. As it […]

Did Reffing Hurt the Trail Blazers in the NBA Playoffs?

The Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs are done with their NBA Playoffs series, but a few question linger from that 10-day span in the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag. Some of them have implications that go beyond just the spring. Let’s address one of them today! Dave, Do you think that the refs changing the […]

However Denver vs. Minnesota plays out, the Spurs must take advantage

San Antonio has officially wrapped up the first round, winning its first playoff series since 2017. Naturally, now all eyes look ahead in a “hurry up and wait” situation, as the 3-6 matchup plays out between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets. Regardless of how things play out, San Antonio sits in a position of […]

Open Thread: The Spurs and the 2-1-1 Theory

I found this interesting. In a nutshell, the 2-1-1 theory is a playoff philosophy that suggests the winning team requires specific contribution distribution: the best player (superstar) wins you 2 games, the second-best player wins you 1 games, and a role player wins 1, taking the team to the 4 necessary wins to take the […]

What we learned from the Spurs series-clinching win over the Trail Blazers

“Can he fly?” “Who? Wemby?” “The really tall guy.” “Yeah, that’s Wemby.” “Can Wemby fly?” “No. But it sure looks like it, doesn’t it?” “I think he can fly.” Out of the mouth of babes, eh? It’s funny how succinctly and ardently a child can summarize how they feel/what they think about something. For someone […]

Did the Trail Blazers Have a Successful Season?

The Portland Trail Blazers have completed their 2025-26 season with a 42-40 record, a NBA Play-In Tournament victory over the Phoenix Suns, and a 3-1 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs.

What I’d Say to the Portland Trail Blazers After Their Loss

The Portland Trail Blazers ended their 2025-26 season last night with a 114-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. There will be plenty of time to let the offseason sink in. Today we’re going to take time for an immediate, though right-brained, question from the Blazer’s […]

Box Grades: Spurs storm out of the gate, coast to Round 2

Last night, the Spurs capped off a 4-1 first round victory over the Trail Blazers by torching Portland in the first half and then coasting (somewhat uncomfortably at times) the rest of the way. As lopsided as the series looks on paper, I would actually argue that it’s been an ideal training ground for this […]
