The San Antonio Spurs have won seven of their first nine games. It took them 15 games to win that many last year. The improvements across the board have been clear. They’ve done this without a full roster for the bulk of the season. De’Aaron Fox just returned on Saturday night, dropping 24 points in […]

Dropping three of their last four, the Chicago Bulls have slipped on the sidewalk and landed face-first in a pile of fresh snow. Can they quickly warm themselves back up, or will they shiver their way to their third straight loss? If one thing is for sure, I’m shivering! First winter storm of the year … and my heat is out. The San Antonio Spurs have already bounced back from their own skid. Starting 5-0, the West’s newest contender lost back-to-back games to the Suns and Lakers. Th...

When Mitch Johnson was introduced as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs back in May, he didn’t command the room. He listened. He was thankful. He smiled. He even shed a tear or two. Then, when it was his turn to say a few words he said, “I will attempt to do it […]

As I mentioned yesterday, I have been stuck indoors with a cold. I thought it best to hunker down on the couch and watch the second half of Saturday night’s Spurs/Pelicans game (yay!) and then a bunch of movies. I decided to focus on basketball flicks and add on to the “basketball movie of the […]

Often mocked as perennial Play-In Tournament participants, perhaps no one in the league is more familiar with being a middling team hovering around .500 than the Chicago Bulls. Despite this, the Bulls have shown a strong start to the season, propelled by their young guard, Josh Giddey, who is listed as questionable after an ankle […]

After an embarrassing loss to the Spurs in their first NBA Cup game, the Rockets needed to cleanse their pallet and get back to doing the things that help them win ball games. Early on against the Bucks it didn’t look like that was going to happen. The Rockets have struggled at times to defend […]

Ah, what a difference a day makes. Just 24 little hours is all anyone needs to shift their perspective, reach a different conclusion, and fire off another take. In the event that another species discovers the remains and records of human civilization, I think that’ll be one of their favorite things about us. For better […]

Coming off a hard-fought victory versus the Houston Rockets, the Spurs took on the New Orleans Pelicans in a SEGABABA. The Pelicans had six key players on their injury report, and De’Aaron Fox finally returned from injury. With that being said, it sounds like an incoming blowout, right? Guess again. Except for a key run […]

Good day, dear Pounders. As I write this, it’s Saturday night and I am watching the Spurs/Pelicans game. I am as sick as a dog and will definitely not make it to the end of this game…until tomorrow morning. But De’Aaron Fox just dropped 15 points in the first half of the second quarter after […]

The Spurs are making it a habit of winning tough games that come down to the wire. After taking down the Rockets on Friday, they were at risk of dropping a winnable game against the Pelicans on the second game of a back-to-back before De’Aaron Fox closed the night in style in his season debut […]

After an emotional roller coaster of a week, from losing two straight on the road to a wild, chaotic home win against the Rockets the night before, the Spurs were staring at the ultimate trap game against a shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans squad that had still won two straight. Sparked by the season debut De’Aaron […]

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.
