The Spurs impressed with their victory in New Orleans one week ago. However, the Spurs had varying levels of success defending Chris Paul and David West.

The Spurs have another high profile game against Chris Paul’s Hornets. Paul is having another MVP type season. How can he be stopped, slowed or even exploited?

AT&T CENTER — Having whittled an 18-point lead to three, Richard Jefferson lined up a open 3-pointer from the baseline with a little over a minute left — it was his only missed shot of the fourth quarter, and one that would have completed a furious comeback. “It looked good, I was already on my [...]

In the past decade the NBA has dramatically tilted its rules in favor of quicker, more diminutive floor leaders. But while the NBA became a “quarterbacks” league, its greatest point guards have had surprisingly little say in the ultimate prize. In discussing the positional revolution, I stated under the current NBA rules defending quality point [...]

Preseason is in full gear and by now every major team publication or basketball website has had their season previews out for some time. Without much to add to the offseason (ESPN’s John Hollinger beat me to noting Matt Bonner’s new teardrop, which will only add to his +/- greatness), I thought I’d change things [...]

R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich may still be combing the waiver wire and developmental league to fill their 13th roster spot following the unexpected release of Michael Finley, but in all likelihood the Spurs best chance of improving or adding another rotation player lies internally. Matt Bonner, finding time in the rotation once again with [...]

The 2009-10 San Antonio Spurs are a bit of a tease. They’ll lean in close and show you a little leg, but ultimately head home without so much as a kiss on the cheek. After a nationally-televised win over the Phoenix Suns (an above .500 team!) and no letdown in a 106-92 win over the [...]

I hope you’re enjoying today’s slate of games. The Spurs are gonna go to work on the Hornets in a few minutes; meanwhile I’ll be over at ESPN taking part in the Daily Dime Live Chat. Stop on by if you have a few minutes. Also, take some time to reflect on Dr. King and [...]

A year ago this game would have headlined the daily marquee as a matchup between arguably the league’s top two point guards. A week ago Hoopsworld.com reported the Spurs tried to trade Tony Parker for Chris Paul. But tomorrow, despite those tidbits of information, the matchup has lost some of its luster. I say arguably [...]

In this weekend’s Dime, Marc Stein drew attention to the fourteen teams that have luxury tax payments looming this July. The list includes perennial heavyweights such as the Lakers and Spurs (although, given their success, San Antonio pops up on this list infrequently), as well as the ashen remains of the Isiah-era Knicks. The list [...]

During today’s live chat, 83% of readers said the Spurs would win the Southwest division. Given that it was mostly Spurs fans tuning in, that isn’t terribly surprising. But the general consensus throughout the league seems to be that the Spurs are the best team in the division. The response reminded me of a conversation [...]
