Victor Wembanyama reminds everyone why he’s different
In an NBA season already defined by jaw-dropping shots and highlight dunks, Victor Wembanyama — the San Antonio Spurs’ 7-foot-4 franchise centerpiece — gave the basketball world something truly different: a viral flying kick that wasn’t meant to score points, but redefined the limits of human athleticism. The viral moment came during warmups before the […]

The Spurs need more three-point shooting
With just under a month to go until the NBA trade deadline, the San Antonio Spurs are second in the Western Conference with a 27-12 record. Even the most bullish predictions for the Spurs this season didn’t have this result on their bingo card. Making the playoffs was the goal, and through the first 39 […]

Around the NBA: OKC’s skid, Boston’s success, and a discussion on the 65-game rule
The Thunder are frauds! That’s what r/nba and the talking heads are having you believe, and it’s not hard to see why following a 6-6 stretch. Still, the OKC discourse has swung too far in the opposite direction. Remember, they were only one of two teams (along with the 73-win Warriors) to ever start a […]

What We Learned from the Spurs loss to the Wolves
I refuse to read too much into this one. You hear me? Won’t do it. Can’t do it. Under threat of fines, banishment, or even death, I simply will not do it. Every person has to have a code, and mine is that I won’t read too much into the Spurs blowing a 19-point lead […]
Open Thread: De’Aaron Fox hits the 12,000 point milestone
On Saturday evening, De’Aaron Fox hit his 12,000th point as the Spurs faced the Celtics in Boston. Fox came over to the Spurs last February in a stellar three-team trade. He only played in 17 games before undergoing a season-ending surgery to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie finger. This season he missed the […]
Spurs blow double-digit fourth-quarter lead in loss to Timberwolves
The San Antonio Spurs landed in Minneapolis at 3 a.m. on Sunday, and yet for three quarters of basketball, they looked like the more energetic team. Both the Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves were on the second game of a back-to-back, and fighting for position in the Western Conference standings. The Wolves looked to be […]

What we learned from the Spurs win over the Celtics
One night, in the early 1980s, as he had done many times before, my father climbed out of his window and into the evening air. Pedaling quietly through a landscape of asphalt and the warm sodium yellow of streetlamps, his bicycle carved its way past the darkened silhouettes of neighborhood domesticity until he’d arrived at […]
Highlights: Fox, Johnson, & Wembanyama combine for 60 in win over Celtics
Coming off a gritty win over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Spurs traveled to Boston to face the Celtics. Devin Vassell would remain out with an adductor injury. Just like the Lakers game, this game turned out to be a brick competition mixed in with solid defense. Both teams shot 41% and under from the […]
Open Thread: Keldon Johnson is making his case for Sixth Man of the Year
On Wednesday, the Spurs hosted the Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back. At the end of the night, Keldon Johnson tallied 27 points shooting 11 of 13 (84.6%) and 2 of 3 from beyond the arc. During the competition, with s couple of minute sleft in the first half, play-by-play announcer Mike Breen […]
Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Minnesota Timberwolves
We are almost midway through the season, and tiers are starting to become more defined in the Western Conference. Despite looking relatively pedestrian since the Spurs helped bring them back down to earth from their record-tying start, the Thunder still have a pretty sizable (but not insurmountable) cushion between themselves and the rest of the […]
Victor Wembanyama dazzles in Spurs’ close win over the Celtics
The Spurs did not play well in their visit to the surprising Celtics, but managed to escape Boston with an unlikely win. Sometimes, having the best player on the floor is all it takes, and Victor Wembanyama proved it by dominating on both ends to lead San Antonio to an unexpected 100-95 victory in what […]
San Antonio at Boston, Final Score: Spurs steal sloppy win from Celtics, 100-95

Stephon Castle honors a fan with his game-worn shoes
I don’t think there’s a more accurate term to use to describe this video other than “totes adorbs.” Stephon Castle is so cool ! He loves pink just like me!

What Trae Young’s trade to Washington means for the Spurs
The Hawks decided to pull the trigger on the first significant trade of 2026. Atlanta sent Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for C.J. McCollum and Corey Kispert, ending their relationship with Young after a tumultuous seven and a half seasons. The trade return is underwhelming for a player who’s been an All-Star four times, […]
