The Spurs announced that they have waived Jack McClinton and added Dwayne Jones, a former Toro who has also spent time on the Cleveland, Boston and Charlotte rosters. After a poor summer league performance, McClinton’s chances of making the team did not look good. We here at 48 Minutes of Hell wish him well, and [...]
Last night a friend reduced Summer League to its finest syrupy self with this statement: “After the offseason the Spurs have already had, they don’t need anymore All-Stars. They just need to upgrade their role players. I think they’ve done it.” The Spurs won last night’s contest, having too much talent and defense for the [...]
The talk surrounding last night’s game was DeJuan Blair, who registered a DNP.

The Spurs signed Anthony Tolliver in his place. Elsewhere the Spurs whiffed on Corey Maggette and Jannero Pargo, and smart guys like [...]

Mr. Holt’s wealth derives from HOLT CAT, the nation’s largest authorized dealer of caterpillar machines, of which he is also CEO. Given the housing crisis [...]
Antonio McDyess has agreed to terms with the San Antonio Spurs. Unless they surprise us, the Spurs offseason is more or less finished. The Antonio McDyess signing caps off the most dramatic offseason of the Tim Duncan era, and one of the more impressive offseasons (of any team) that I can remember. The Spurs frontoffice [...]
The Spurs have announced their summer league roster. The team will be coached by Don Newman. Malik Hairston, G
Spurs fans are delirious right now. DeJuan Blair is a beast. We couldn’t be happier to have him. His granddad, or some clever imposter, kindly left a message in our comments. Welcome to the lovefest.
