It’s official. The rumor from Woj on Monday that the Spurs would sign Cedric Jackson has, as expected, proven true.
From the Spurs:
The San Antonio Spurs today announced they have signed guard Cedric Jackson from the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League to a 10-day contract. Jackson is the 22nd call-up of the 2009-10 D-League [...]
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 Antonio [...]
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 New [...]
San Antonio began the fourth quarter of this afternoon’s game against Phoenix with a three point lead. Over the next 12 minutes, the Spurs did not make too many defensive stops; Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, and Jason Richardson all scored with ease. Luckily the Suns aren’t exactly known for their lockdown defense either, and the [...]
Over the course of the season Gregg Popovich has shuffled through 20 different lineups with varying degrees of success, or in the case of Friday night’s lineup, lack thereof.
A degree in advanced NBA statistics or a talk with Wayne Winston isn’t necessary to conclude a box score in which three of the five starters read [...]
Ugh.
Here I was, all ready to post a piece about how Manu Ginobili’s block of Kevin Durant against the Thunder on Wednesday was the turning point in the season. After their latest “best win of the season,” the Spurs were going to sweep the week against their Western Conference foes and solidify their place in [...]
For a season that started with such promise, Spurs fans sure have been left clamoring for some positive news following some of the unfortunate, potentially disheartening and even depressing stories that have been written this season. Even the Rodeo Road Trip, the mythical cure for all that ails the Spurs, ended with disappointing losses at Philadelphia [...]
Throughout the Tim Duncan era the Spurs have operated on a certain stonecutters credo. Ironically, they now operate between a rock and a hard place. With a broken chisel.
The rock? Richard Jefferson’s burdensome contract. The hard place? The NBA Salary Cap. In the short term, there will be those who are disappointed that the Spurs [...]
As fluid and sexy as basketball sometimes is, it’s not that way all the time. Many times it’s a game of miscommunication and error.
Wednesday night at Conseco Fieldhouse was one of those times.
San Antonio shot just 35% from the floor and 29% from behind the three-point line, yet still beat the Indiana Pacers 90-87.
Leaving the All-Star weekend, perhaps no theme encapsulated the Spurs more perfectly nor enemy loomed so big–well, maybe the Laker’s frontline–as time.
And not just time, as in the amount of time left in their stars’ careers, but timing. Timing is everything.
Thursday night’s contest between the Spurs and Nuggets, the last game on the NBA’s slate before All-Star Weekend, had the feeling of a Friday afternoon class leading into Christmas vacation.
The Nuggets simply wanted the time to fly by so they could get started on celebrating the occasion. The fourth quarter dragged on like the last [...]
Last week we ran a series of features exploring three options for the Spurs: Make no move; make a minor roster move; and make a major roster move. There was supposed to be one more- a post arguing that we should make moves focused on future seasons- that for various reasons was never published. After [...]
For all the summer excitement of Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess and DeJuan Blair, perhaps the biggest offseason acquisition has been George Hill the shooting guard.
Before joining 48MoH, I wrote in my seldom read blog that the stories of the preseason were the play of Blair and Hill. Blair, for proving his game translates (at least [...]
The Spurs had their chances. They had the game by the throat but were unable to finish the chokehold. That’s the difference between this team and former Spurs teams.
TNT’s Doug Collins mentioned it late in the telecast last night, and it’s been something I’ve thought about as the season went on. The Spurs lack the [...]
The Spurs prevailed in their first game on the Rodeo Road Trip in a contest that wasn’t quite as close as the final score makes it seem. And again the Spurs are able to beat a team with a record below .500.
It’s important for this team to start the trip with a win. Tonight the [...]
