The NBA and New York Knicks are warning fans to arrive to Madison Square Garden at least two hours before the tipoff of Game 3 as security measures have been added now that President Donald Trump is planning on attending the game. There is a “no bag” policy, no storage spaces available, and enhanced “TSA-style screening […]
Down two games to zero, the San Antonio Spurs are playing not only against the New York Knicks, but against history. Only five teams in NBA history have come back from a 0-2 defecit in the NBA Finals: the 1969 Boston Celtics, the 1977 Portland Trail Blazers, the 2006 Miami Heat, the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers, […]
The Spurs find themselves 0-2 in the Finals, and the way they got there isn’t surprising. The Knicks have been a horrific matchup for a while in no small part because San Antonio lacks size at the forward spots, an issue that has been apparent for a while but has only recently become troublesome. And […]
As the Spurs head into Game 3, they have some positives to build on defensively. In Games 1 and 2, they utilized a similar defensive stratagem on Jalen Brunson that worked in the Western Conference Finals against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. So far, they have limited the Knicks star point guard from taking over. In San Antonio, […]
There are two popular songs titled “Reason to Believe”. The first was written in 1968 by a very underrated songwriter named Tim Hardin. His version of Reason to Believe has been covered by many artists, including Rod Stewart, The Carpenters and Johnny Cash. The most famous is the Rod Stewart version: As Wikipedia describes it: […]
Spurs legend Tony Parker spoke regarding the time he discovered Victor Wembanyama had worn his #9 Spurs jersey and what it meant to him. “Victor was with me in ASVEL, my team, the French team that I own. And the whole time you know he was with us I had a great time and we […]
Bill Schoening, Jacob Tobey and Jeph Duarte: surely you’ve heard all their names before and know what they all have in common: the San Antonio Spurs! Bill is the former “voice of the Spurs” and was their radio announcer for 24 amazing years before retiring last summer, Jacob just finished his second season as the […]
I don’t particularly care for people who say, “I’ll be honest with you,” after I’ve had an hour-long conversation with them about their family, work, or the car they’re trying to sell me. So you were lying this whole time? You don’t have two kids, and this car has NO WHEELS? But that being said, […]
Coming off a tough Game 1 loss in this NBA Finals, the Spurs looked to even the series in Game 2 versus the New York Knicks. The Spurs started hot, outscoring the Knicks 34-25 in the first quarter. However, their offense turned ice cold. They had their worst statistical shooting quarter of the season, and […]
For a while now, I thought I was watching a very specific kind of story. An underdog with tenacity. A chosen one on the rise. An ascension. A coming-of-age. A fairy tale, maybe. The details were always a little hazy, but the protagonist was never in question. It was the Spurs. It just felt right. […]
I used to live in New York, Brooklyn to be exact. I remember how expensive it was compared to San Antonio, where I grew up and currently live. Over a decade ago, I paid rent on an 800 square foot apartment that to this day is more expensive than the mortgage on my house. New […]
For five minutes on Friday night, it looked like the San Antonio Spurs were on their way to completing one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the NBA Finals. Instead, they are facing a harash reality: being in an 0-2 series deficit. Despite rallying from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter and […]
Despite having two chances to finish ahead of New York for good, San Antonio was unable to complete its ferocious fourth quarter comeback and lost game 2 of the Finals. In the waning seconds, Victor Wembanyama committed an unforced turnover trying to feed Stephon Castle in transition, and then missed a buzzer-beating 17-footer. New York […]

After a Game 1 Finals loss that felt all too familiar in more ways that one, I continue our fourth installment of Fraternizing with the Enemy with the editor-in-chief of our Knicks sister site, Posting and Toasting, Russell Richardson. The Spurs didn’t look anything like themselves, but the good news is they have shown they […]
On Thursday, a project involving the NBA, San Antonio Spurs and Emirates unveiled a newly renovated space at Denver Heights Community Center. Jacob Tobey hosted a panel including NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, R. C. Buford, and Spurs players. Attendees involved NBA’s executive vice president, head of basketball operations James Jones, local politicians, families, and attendees […]
In an 0-1 scenario for the second time this postseason, the San Antonio Spurs didn’t sound like they were hitting the panic button after their Game 1 loss to kick off the 2026 NBA Finals. Nor should they: Even near the end of what was a rough 2nd half where they were outscored 57-40, the […]
In the morning hours of July 21, 1861, the carriages began to arrive in Centreville, Virginia. Once a bustling center of trade (before newer roads and railroads diverted the traffic it depended on), it was then home to little more than 100 people. Whether there was anyone left in the village who owned a carriage […]
“It was quick. I think we let that one go” was all Victor Wembanyama said when asked when he and the Spurs felt the game “slipping” away from them. After all the talk about how emotional Wemby has been throughout the postseason, he sure was calm after the Game 1 loss. This press conference was […]
The San Antonio Spurs have to be kicking themselves after Game One of the NBA Finals. A fourteen-point lead evaporated in the third and fourth quarters. San Antonio had a chance to come back at the end of the game, but squandered the opportunity in a 105-95 loss. The Spurs have now lost home court […]
Since February 1st, Wemby has only finished a game with a negative plus/minus three times. Once was in game five of the West Finals against OKC, and the other two times were both against the Knicks, including Wednesday night. It’s undeniable that New York has a matchup advantage against the Spurs, and it all starts […]
Welcome to a limited series called “Overreactions: Where answers become questions, questions become more questions, and you question your own sanity so much that you slowly convince yourself that Malik Rose could have been an All-NBA point guard if Gregg Popovich had a little bit of imagination.” It’s a safe place for anxious fans to […]
What a frustrating game. Even though San Antonio wasn’t shooting well as a team throughout, for 2.5 quarters it really felt like they had a firm command of the game, and were always ready to punch back when the Knicks went on a run. However, that confidence seemed to fade in the late 3rd, and […]
The road to the Larry O’Brien Trophy was never meant to be easy. Against the New York Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs flashed some of that playoff magic in their loss to the Knicks. Victor Wembanyama notched a double-double with a team-high 26 points and 12 rebounds. Julian Champagnie also had a double-double with 16 […]
Did you know that before De’Aaron Fox was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, Rich Paul had planned to push a trade to San Antonio involving Darius Garland? Neither did I. But even before Fox was interested in leaving Sacramento, the famed agent saw the need for a ball-handler in the Alamo City. Rich Paul […]
