Several weeks ago I wrote about two Euroleague stars for whom the Spurs could have interest, and one of those stars was Yiannis Bouroussis. Turns out others think so too. Maybe even the Spurs. According to reports out of Greece, the Spurs have offered Bouroussis a 3 year contract worth between 10.5 and 12 million. [...]

Many of our readers know the name Omri Casspi. The Spurs’ interest in the Israeli small forward has been noted by various draft outlets over the last couple seasons. And of course this probably means the Spurs have no interest whatsoever. But still, we press on. For a more detailed look at Casspi, check out [...]

In Wednesday’s post, I suggested the Spurs needed to put their backcourt house in order. This might come about naturally as players develop and learn the system. The return of Manu Ginobili will help, as if I needed to tell you. But if I let the impression with any of our readers that the Spurs [...]

In their Macrophenomenal Almanac, the Free Darko crew warn us about The MONGP: The Myth of the Next Ginobili-Parker. They write:

Setting the Stage: Jeremy Tyler Jeremy Tyler has decided to forgo his senior year of high school in favor of Europe. Tyler’s decision caused me to reflect on how situations similar to his might impact the Spurs/Toros in the years to come. What follows is a loose assemblage of dots that will become more easily [...]

One of the things I’ve loved about this season is the work Spurs.com and the Express News beat writers have done keeping us close to the team. Spurs.com introduced practice and shootaround video, which was always must-watch viewing. And they’ve done a bang up job this postseason. The E-N writers have kept a pulse on [...]

The Express-News’ Buck Harvey has written a timely column that deserves your attention. The cliff notes version goes like this: tonight might be Bruce Bowen’s last game as a Spur. Yes, Bowen is under contract. But if you read the column you’ll see that Harvey’s rationale runs down a coherent line. I’m not going to [...]

I trust that all of our readers know that Hardwood Paroxysm is one the best basketball blogs going. Matt Moore is at the Hardwood helm and he’s just put up a graph-heavy breakdown which accounts for the Spurs injuries and lack of bench scoring options. Or, put differently, how the the story of this postseason [...]

With the D-League playoffs set to tip this evening, what better time to catch up with D-League President and altogether good guy Dan Reed. Dan is making the interview rounds, and joins us to discuss globalization, how D-League talent compares to the NCAA, his league’s role in the stats revolution and, of course, the Spurs [...]

Indulge me for a minute. It was a good night. The Spurs beat the Jazz, and I’ll get to that in a moment. That was encouraging. But there was encouragement to be found in Austin, as well. Malik Hairston was with the team, and he scored 41 in a come from behind victory against the [...]

Last night’s victory over the Thunder felt like a return home after a long stay away. The Spurs won their 50th game of the season for the 10th consecutive season. And the Spurs beat a fearsome opponent by playing great defense for the final 3 quarters. It was without Manu Ginobili, but it felt like [...]

Given Golden State’s chaotic style, you never expect a game against the Warriors to be evocative of all the things that plague a team. But lo and behold, last night’s contest offered a textbook primer for what has ailed San Antonio in recent weeks. I’m not going to complain too much, since we got the [...]

Ugh. OK, before we get down to the nitty gritty, let’s discuss the game’s closing minutes. With 2:31 left, the game tied 74-74, Michael Finley went to free throw line. Over an 80% free throw shooter on the season, he failed to connect on either attempt. With 49 seconds left, the Celtics now up by [...]

Better late than never. Last night the Spurs defeated the Bobcats in San Antonio to sweep the season series 2-0. For 3 1/2 quarters Charlotte put up a good fight but a lockdown defensive stand by the Spurs to close the game brought us the win. For the second game in a row Ime Udoka [...]

The Spurs defeated the Suns in San Antonio this afternoon, 103-98. The game unfolded in a rather predictable manner, given the absence of Amare Stoudemire and the Suns’ return to a fast-paced, relatively defenseless style. With the win, the Spurs remain in firm control of the West’s 2nd spot while the Suns slide further and [...]
