It’s time for Basketball: San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs took care of the Hornets on Saturday, and face […]

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. The 25-point comeback on the second night of a back-to-back was one of the hardest games of Wembanyama’s life, according to him. Now the Spurs will be better rested as they travel to Los Angeles for […]
The San Antonio Spurs are title favorites
The San Antonio Spurs are one win shy of 50 wins with 15 games left. It’s the first time the team will reach that mark since the 2016-2017 season. With the league’s second-best record, the Spurs have elevated from plucky young squad to a true NBA title contender. According to a survey of SB Nation […]
Highlights: Victor Wembanyama drops 32 and flirts with triple-double in win over Hornets
Coming off a tough loss against the Denver Nuggets, the Spurs faced the Charlotte Hornets in a Saturday afternoon affair. Victor Wembanyama returned from ankle soreness, but Dylan Harper was ruled out with a calf injury. After Charlotte held a 13-10 lead early, the Spurs embarked on an 18-0 run and outscored the Hornets 31-24 […]
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. After the Spurs’ 115-102 win over Charlotte on their home court, Wembanyama told the Amazon Prime crew that the loss to the Hornets […]
Open Thread: If the Spurs could relive one day of their life
The Spurs have been active this past week on Instagram. Between Jaylen Brown’s ejection, losing to the Nuggets, the team photo shoot, and then knotting up the series with the Charlotte Hornets, the Silver & Black have also been posting a lot from their player interview series. This installment asks the guys what day they […]
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. But each time the pressure mounted, the San Antonio Spurs had an answer. And more often than not, that answer came from Victor Wembanyama. Behind […]
San Antonio vs. Charlotte, Final Score: Spurs outclass Hornets, 115-102
The San Antonio Spurs got even with the Charlotte Hornets and claimed their 26th win at Frost Bank Center this season. It wasn’t always pretty, but they did the little things on defense which kept the visitors at arm’s length for the whole game. Both sides got out in the fast lane early, trying to control […]

Open Thread: If the Spurs chose a teammate as their coach
In this Instagram installment of the behind-the-scenes Spurs interviews, they pull the curtain back on which teammate they’d choose to be their coach. The results are telling about their game and personality. Victor Wembanyama chose Luke Kornet. As an elder statesman, Kornet has earned the respect of the next great face of the NBA. Devin […]
Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Charlotte Hornets
Fresh off a loss to the Denver Nuggets, the San Antonio Spurs will look to get back on track against the red-hot Charlotte Hornets. The Spurs have added another key player to the injury report in what could be an all-hands-on-deck type of game. Victor Wembanyama missed San Antonio’s last game due to an ankle […]
Highlights: Stephon Castle drops 30-point triple-double on Nuggets
Coming off a tough win against the Boston Celtics, the Spurs battled the Denver Nuggets. It was announced before the game that Victor Wembanyama would not play due to ankle soreness. Nonetheless, the Spurs dominated the first half. They outscored the Nuggets 37-25 in the first quarter, led by as much as 20 points, and […]
What we learned from the Spurs loss to the Nuggets
For three quarters, the Victor Wembanyama-less San Antonio Spurs looked perfect. They were playing physically, getting out into the passing lanes, forcing the Denver Nuggets to take tough shots, and getting to the basket at will. But three-quarters of stellar basketball isn’t enough to take down Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. It takes a sustained […]
Open Thread: Spurs enlightenment for their ten-year-old selves
This popped up in my Instagram feed: Devin Vassell, Victor Wembanyama, David Jones Garcia, Harrison Ingram, Dyaln Harper and Jordan McLaughlin were asked what they would tell their 10-year-old selves. Vassell shared “don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.” Wembanyama stated that the advice he got was to determine if something […]
Spurs run out of gas late as Nuggets rally for 136-131 win
For much of the night, it felt like the San Antonio Spurs had everything under control. They played fast. They shot confidently. They built a commanding lead against one of the NBA’s most dangerous teams. But against the Denver Nuggets, even a 20-point cushion can disappear in a hurry. San Antonio watched its lead slowly […]
San Antonio vs Denver, Final Score: short handed Spurs run out of gas against the Nuggets 131-136
The Spurs played a valiant game tonight without their best player, but they could not hold on in the fourth under an onslaught of points from Jamal Murray, who scored 39, and Nikola Jokic who scored 31 with 12 assists and 20 rebounds. Stephon Castle had 30, De’Aaron Fox scored 27, and Harrison Barnes had […]

Open Thread: Dylan Harper stars in a new Foot Locker ad
This is exciting news. Dylan Harper is starring in a new Foot Locker ad campaign entitled “Unseen Hours” that recently dropped. In it, the recently named February NBA Rookie of the Month is seen waking at 4:00 a.m. to start his workout. The youngest son of five-time NBA Champion Ron Haprer was drafted by the […]
Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets
The win streak lives on for the San Antonio Spurs, as they find themselves halfway to another double-digit tally. They’ve only lost one game between the months of February and March, as they’ve worked their way into a hot pursuit of the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, and the #1 seed in the Western Conference. However, […]
San Antonio’s race for the one seed is on
The San Antonio Spurs have won 16 of their last 17 games, and are 2.5 games back from the Oklahoma City Thunder for first place in the Western Conference standings. With just 17 games remaining, the Spurs have the sixth-easiest schedule through the end of the season. The Thunder have the fourth-hardest remaining schedule. What […]
Victor Wembanyama is adding his own flavor to the defense
Sometimes you see something and instantly know it cannot be replicated. It must have been what the Trojans thought when witnessing Achilles vanquish their forces, or what concert goers reasoned when watching Jimi Hendrix play guitar with his teeth. It’s not much different when watching Victor Wembanyama lock up the lane. Of course, Wilt Chamberlain, […]
What We Learned from the Spurs win over the Celtics
The vibe was off from the start in this one. It almost felt like there had been too much buildup for it. Too much momentum for it not to go a little sideways. “Two title contenders squaring off!” “Possible Finals preview!” “Jayson Tatum continuing his incredible return!” “Wembanyama making an MVP push!” “The two hottest […]
Highlights: Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox lead Spurs in win over the Celtics
The Spurs won their fifth game in a row as they continue to prepare for the playoffs. Victor Wembanyama led all players with 39 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. He also shot 8 – 15 from beyond the arc, showing off his offensive versatility despite defenses keying in on him. De’Aaron Fox, himself, found […]
