The San Antonio Spurs salvaged the rest of their brief road trip with a close call in Utah against the young Jazz. It was one of those rare occasions in which records could be misleading because the Jazz (15-30) have more talent than their record indicates, put up a fight at home and have made […]

As longtime readers know, in addition to being a die hard Spurs fan, I am the proud father of a die hard Spurs fan. My twelve-year-old daughter Elizabeth and I most commonly spend our father-daughter dates at the Frost Bank Center. Some memorable outings were Dirk Nowitzki’s farewell game, the 2023 NBA Draft, and the […]

If there’s one thing that’s sure to help a team coming off a loss (and in the midst of dealing with an overly condensed schedule), it’s a double helping of patsy, sandwiched around the week’s biggest challenge. The Spurs more or less thrashed the Jazz just before going the distance with the Rockets, and now […]

It burns a little, this one. Yeah. To blow that lead. Against this opponent, in their building. It burns. No two ways about it. I’d love to breeze through this and move on to the next, but goodness. We’re probably going to have to sit with it for a minute. Because that was about as […]

The San Antonio Spurs left Toyota Center Tuesday night with a familiar and frustrating feeling, undone once again by a late-game collapse in a 111–106 loss to the Houston Rockets that spoiled an otherwise encouraging road performance. For much of the evening, the Spurs were the sharper, more composed team. They opened the game with […]

The San Antonio Spurs’ tour into Houston was a failure because they got satisfied with their work late and lost interest in guarding the 3-point line. It was their second matchup of the season with the Rockets, and now they are even with two outings to go. The first quarter ended with a 39-28 lead, […]

This was one of those “had to have it” games. The Jazz are, respectfully, not good. They were missing their best player. The Spurs were healthy, rested, and at home. I mean, It can’t be overstated how much you simply have to win this one. And yet, given their propensity this year for playing down […]

When asked about Carter Bryant’s standout performance, Wemby responded, “It was great, it was great. Feels like now he makes dunks, he don’t want to […]

While they’re close in the standings, it has been two entirely different seasons for the Spurs and Houston Rockets.

Editor’s note: This article was written before the All-Star Starters were announced. Selecting the East is much harder than the West.
