Latest news and updates about the Spurs
It’s been years since I’ve been to an actual theater — many years. Maybe that’s because some of my visits didn’t exactly turn out to be great successes. I remember one in particular, back in 2008. I was working in London at the time as an intern for a major company. My duties included corporate […]
Coming off a tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, the Spurs looked to regroup heading into the start of NBA Cup group play. Their first Cup match of the season was at home versus the Houston Rockets. After a struggling 22 minutes of Spurs basketball (marred by poor shooting and lazy turnovers), […]
The Rockets showed up to Friday night’s game with the San Antonio Spurs, but they barely played two quarters of actual basketball. Houston was crusing along in the second quarter up 11 points when the bottom fell out and the Rockets gave up a 12-0 an ugly run to end the second to go into […]
Last night the Spurs played their first Emirates Cup game against the I-10 rival Houston Rockets. I was taken aback when I saw the game was on Amazon Prime, part of an 11-year contract. I was nervous that the games were only available live. I was pleased to be able to watch the game when […]
De’Aaron Fox makes his long-awaited season debut on Saturday when the San Antonio Spurs host the infirmary-ridden New Orleans Pelicans. It will be the second night of a back-to-back for the Spurs, while their guests last played on Wednesday. Even with NOLA’s absences, they can’t be taken lightly because there’s an NBA phenomenon of undermanned […]
After a couple of tough losses, Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs needed to show they could adjust and overcome adversity to silence the doubters. Both the star and the team were up for the task against a Rockets team that gave them all they could handle. The hard-fought 121-110 win got San Antonio back on […]
The Spurs prevailed tonight by doing something that you haven’t seen from the Silver and Black for the last couple of years. They performed well under pressure and executed better than their opponent down the stretch. The Spurs played with discipline to overcome a talented Rockets team that fought hard the whole game. Alperen Sengun […]

Even though the Spurs have yet to win a game this week, things have started improving on the injury front in the last few days. On Wednesday against the Lakers, Jeremy Sochan (wrist) and Kelly Olynyk (heel) made their season debuts, and now the most anticipated return is set to happen. After suffering from a […]
From the moment the Lakers traded for Luka Dončić, this franchise became his. However, it was challenging to establish that, given that he was acquired right in the middle of the NBA season. Now that he has a full season in a Lakers uniform, we are seeing his leadership more and more. In the summer, […]

Looking to build off a turnaround that saw them finish last season with a 52-30 record and a 2nd place finish in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets went all-in this summer by acquiring Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns. Adding the 4-time scoring champ has shown early promise, as a Houston team that was […]
Marcus Smart giveth and Marcus Smart taketh away. After being a positive on both ends of the court through the first 47:58.8 seconds of the game on Wednesday against the Spurs, Smart had one heck of a faux pas. During his attempt to end the game with a downcourt pass to Hachimura with 1.2 seconds […]
The Spurs put the Lakers to the test on Wednesday night. San Antonio was leading for most of the game and Los Angeles was rallying late in the fourth quarter. However, it wasn’t Luka Dončić highlight play, a Marcus Smart defensive stop or a Deandre Ayton battle underneath, but a pair of Rui Hachimura plays […]
As a Spurs fan living in Los Angeles, and a Dodger fan too, the last few weeks have been great. The Spurs have had an historically great start, even better than expected or predicted. During the same time, the Dodgers won the World Series — capped by the best Game Seven in the history of […]
Despite the last two games, the San Antonio Spurs are off to one of their most successful seasons in recent memory. The Silver and Black are 5-2 heading into a back-to-back against the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans. Through seven games, they’ve at times looked like a team ready to compete for the playoffs, […]
Fresh off a World Series victory, a number of Dodgers were back in LA and in attendance for Wednesday’s Lakers-Spurs showdown. And boy did the players know it. While LeBron James was showing love to Roki Sasaki and Luka Dončić and Rui Hachimura were taking pictures pregame, Deandre Ayton was feeling the nerves. “I ain’t […]
Over the first handful of games, the San Antonio Spurs have set out to make a statement. Prior to last night’s loss to the Lakers, they sat at 12th in defensive rating, 12th in net rating, and, perhaps surprisingly, 11th in offensive rating (all adjusted for strength of schedule per dunksandthrees.com). While much of that […]
Seven different Spurs scored in double digits in a balanced offensive attack that saw the Spurs fall short to the Los Angeles Lakers. Victor Wembanyama led the team with 19 points and 8 rebounds, while Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan contributed 16 points apiece. It was a hard-fought loss, but Mama said there would be […]
“Be disciplined to be disciplined to like and embrace the boring.” Those words echoed throughout basketball cyberspace after the San Antonio Spurs dismantled the Dallas Mavericks on opening night. Flash forward a few weeks, and it doesn’t seem like Mitch Johnson’s words have necessarily stuck with his young team. The Spurs beat themselves on Wednesday […]
Following their first loss of the season, the Spurs had work to do. Phoenix had concocted a scheme that exposed San Antonio’s lack of shooting while also limiting Wemby’s offense, forcing the good guys to adjust. The Spurs did exactly that Wednesday night – to start, at least. From the tip, LA employed a similar […]
Teams have learned that the best chance of stopping the Spurs is to send waves of defenders at Victor Wembanyama and wear him out as he tries to fight through a forest of defenders to get to the basket. The Spurs haven’t found the answer for that strategy, which resulted in a fifth foul on […]
It wasn’t easy, but the Lakers rallied back in the fourth to beat the Spurs 118-117 to extend their winning streak to five. Late in the fourth, the Lakers looked like they were in perfect position to win, until a costly turnover from Marcus Smart and a foul call on Jake LaRavia nearly choked away […]
