Well, that probably had to happen at some point. The vibes were too high. Simply too high, you know? It didn’t seem possible for the Spurs to lose, or for Wembanyama to play poorly, or for everyone on the team to just… not really show up. But it happened. It was a bad one from […]

In what turned out to be a nightmare of a night, the Spurs lost both their undefeated record and potentially Dylan Harper to injury in Phoenix. The Suns rained threes and looked like the more mature and polished team en route to a 130-118 win that wasn’t as close as the final score reflects. It […]

Phoenix swarmed the Spurs from the onset, particularly Victor Wembanyama (9 point, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks), and forced them well out of their comfort zone to win comfortably. On a night when Phoenix celebrated ‘Day of the Dead,’ their shooting came alive, and San Antonio’s offensive execution resembled a disjointed skeleton. The Suns blitzed […]

When I was in London last time*, back in early April, I had the pleasure of watching Chelsea against Spurs at Stamford Bridge, sat next to some dude who kept singing “Tottenham get battered everywhere they go” pretty much the entire time.

Enzo Maresca has made a couple changes from last weekend, with Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto coming in to the side — we’ll […]
