Much of the offseason player movement has trickled to a halt, so barring another point guard that David Kahn just has to have, a final destination for Shaq, or another scathing LeBron column from Adrian Wojnarowski, the majority of the summer’s story lines have played out to their finish. For the most part, as has [...]

During a recent press conference, R.C. Buford said that Richard Jefferson was more efficient last season than basketball observers realize. You can hear those comments in the video below, as well as R.C.’s thoughts on the Spurs’ front office turnover this offseason. If Buford’s comments fill you with a little “huh?” and a lotta “say [...]

When Manu Ginobili plays basketball, he plays with a rose between his teeth. His game is all skill and charm and sizzle.  Falling in love with Manu Ginobili’s game really means falling in love.

Amusing as it is was to watch Isiah Thomas sign Jerome James to a contract more loaded than his waist line while teaming Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis with Larry Brown, and thankful as San Antonio is for the finest stretch of basketball in Nazr Mohammed’s career, these general managers have to stop. Because funny [...]

If the NBA off-season were a game of poker, the San Antonio Spurs just lost a big stack of chips when Richard Jefferson opted out of his contract. For all the financial relief it provides Peter Holt and Spurs ownership, it comes at the cost of R.C. Buford’s biggest trade asset. With the NBA draft [...]

Adrian Wojnarowski reported last night that, although Richard Jefferson opted out, that does not necessarily mean he is leaving town.

Now that the Richard Jefferson has opted out of his contract, it’s fair to say the Spurs will target a wing in free agency. Although Jefferson’s deal brings the Spurs close to the cap line, they’re still limited to exception money and veteran minimums. In addition to this, they hold Bird Rights on Matt Bonner [...]

In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, Richard Jefferson has opted out of the final year of his contract with the Spurs. This move still leaves the Spurs above the cap, but will undoubtedly ease the financial burden on Peter Holt’s wallet. The Spurs could be looking at a tax free 2010-11. Why would Richard [...]

AT&T CENTER–The night belonged to Goran Dragic, but the story of his momentous fourth quarter started long before he hit his first three-pointer. It began in the first half when working with an 18-point lead, the San Antonio Spurs needed only 15 feet of rope to hang themselves. Mirroring Game 2, the San Antonio Spurs [...]

It’s not a new story, just one that matters. The San Antonio Spurs are a very different offensive team this season. In their Game 3 victory against the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs didn’t make a single three pointer. Not one. The Spurs were 4-19 on three point attempts in Game 1 against the Suns.

“For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me…it was Tuesday.” —Street Fighter: The Movie And so renews the most heated one-sided matchup in recent NBA history. The San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns are an interesting story to tell, depending on who tells it. [...]

The greatest seventh seed in NBA history? Not exactly a compliment in the eyes of Tim Duncan. Certainly the San Antonio Spurs are the first seventh seed to eliminate a second seed since the NBA Playoffs switched formats to a first round best-of-seven series. But Duncan and the rest of the world will have to [...]

AT&T Center–A game after Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle benched each of his team’s new acquisitions in the second half, the San Antonio Spurs turned to theirs with the trio of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker struggling. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich’s faith was aptly rewarded. Antonio McDyess hit open jumpers, scoring [...]

The NBA playoffs open up with the San Antonio Spurs in their lowest playoff seeding of the Tim Duncan Era. But to understand why the Spurs are not discouraged about opening on the road in Dallas, instead of the friendly confines of the AT&T Center, there must first be an understanding of their philosophy. San [...]

Heading into the trade deadline this season, Richard Jefferson and his roughly $14-15 million cap figured weighed on the San Antonio Spurs neck like a huge albatross, choking the life out of roster flexibility while counting down to an impending luxury tax payment. It was a hit Gregg Popovich and RC Buford gladly took last [...]
