Open Thread: Don’t look now, but another Wembanyama just turned 19
Victor Wembanyama is the undisputed future of basketball. His talent, size, agility, IQ, and maturity are a letheal mix bound to ring throughout the league for years to come. But what if there were another? Victor has a younger brother, Oscar, who turns 19-years-old today, meaning he will be eligible for the 2026 NBA Draft. […]
Spurs blow out Kings to cap off mini road trip
Following a rollercoaster win in LA on Monday, the Spurs extended their win streak against the lowly Kings on the second night of a back-to-back.

Watching the Spurs from the Clippers’ Wall
My buddy Marc was kind enough to invite me to the Spurs’ Monday night game against the Clippers. The Clippers now play in their own arena after years of playing second fiddle (in every way) to the Lakers when the teams shared the Staples Center/Crypto.com Arena. (Apparently, another team called the “L.A. Kings” also play […]
What We Learned from the Spurs win over the Clippers
Ok so let me walk you through how this night went for me and see if it tracks similarly for you. I turn on my TV at 7:00 because I forgot it was a road game. False start. That’s OK. We can recover from this. We’ll be fine. The game starts when? 9:00? P.M.? That […]
Highlights: Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama prove too much for the Clippers
At this point in the season, each win has to feel like finding gold. Monday night in Los Angeles wasn’t the prettiest, but it kept the goal alive to snatch the first seed, which would at least give them a seventh game at home against all West opponents in the playoffs. On top of that, […]

Hello fellow Spurs fans!

Open Thread: Keldon Johnson’s seventh season stats resemble Kawhi Leonard’s
Recently, Keldon Johnson, the longest tenured member of the San Antonio Spurs, moved into fourth all-time for the franchise in points scored off the bench.

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Sacramento Kings

Spurs escape with close victory in rollercoaster game against Clippers
Following a 5-1 home stand, the Spurs kicked off their road trip Monday night against a Kawhi-less Clippers team, narrowly escaping with a win.

Open Thread: How the the rest of the NBA views Wemby
Recently, Jaylen Brown referred to himself as the best two-way player in the game. But he added a caveat when considering Victor Wembanyama in the league. “That boy Wemby is a problem, a big problem. When I say I’m the best two-way player in the league, it’s not counting Wemby. Like, Wemby don’t count. He’s […]
Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Los Angeles Clippers
The last time the San Antonio Spurs faced the Los Angeles Clippers, we saw a viscerally emotional Victor Wembanyama.

What we learned from the Spurs win over the Hornets
The San Antonio Spurs’ loss to the Charlotte Hornets earlier in the season may have been one of the most disappointing losses of the year… at least if you ask Victor Wembanyama.

Open Thread: If the Spurs could relive one day of their life

Wembanyama leads Spurs past Hornets in commanding victory
There were moments in the third quarter when the game threatened to tighten, when the crowd inside the Frost Bank Center grew quiet and the visiting Charlotte Hornets found a rhythm.
