The Thunder comes to town with two elite scorers, but both Durant and Westbrook have offensive weaknesses. Can the Spurs withstand Oklahoma’s young guns?

Being deep is always a good thing, but how much depth do you really have if an entire skill set (creating shots) is provided by only one player?

The Suns recently acquired three new players, but the offense still runs through Nash. Is there anything they can do to limit his productivity?

Brandon Jennings runs the pick and roll a ton. How should the Spurs deal play him? Who is the their best option to defend him?

The Hawks are facing San Antonio without Joe Johnson, but Al Horford is a legitimate MVP candidate at this point. What can the Spurs do to limit him?

In something of a policy statement, Graydon Gordian explains why 48MoH was so slow to comment on the Parker-Longoria divorce.

The last time the San Antonio Spurs were consistently mentioned among the list of top backcourts in the NBA, Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton were still a relevant tandem. Coincidentally, it also happened to be the last time the Spurs won an NBA title.

In announcing his timetable for retirement at the start of training camp, Tim Duncan accomplished a feat so rare that few of the all-time greats have ever achieved it. In signing Tony Parker to an extension-along with Manu Ginobili last year-that keeps the Spurs All-Star backcourt intact through their primes, the San Antonio Spurs [...]

A night after the most ballyhooed Big Three in NBA history made their historical debut, an 80-88 loss to the Boston Celtics, the league’s most accomplished Big Three quietly opened their season in San Antonio. For the first time in what feels like ages, a healthy Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker shared the [...]

AT&T Center-Behind second year phenom DeJuan Blair, the San Antonio Spurs announced their presence among the very NBA elite in a one-sided victory over the heavily favored Miami Heat and LeBron James. James, the centerpiece to the summer’s ballyhooed free agent class, was held to 12 points on 3-of-8 shooting with three rebounds and three [...]

DeJuan Blair would appear to have a bright future in the NBA. In his first year — without, as Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich likes to remind, a single offensive move — Blair led all rookies in field goal percentage while averaging 7.8 points and 6.4 rebounds in only 18 minutes per game. Given such [...]

The San Antonio Spurs kicked off training camp 2010 in the same fashion as last season-with much optimism, a typical Gregg Popovich dress-down of the media, and endless inquiries concerning the future of their All-Star backcourt. Never one to tip his hand too much, or engage in needless speculation, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg [...]

There is a hungry growl coming from the gut of the AT&T Center. San Antonio GM R.C. Buford says the Spurs, or at least their core, are pounding their forks and knives on the dining room table. And the noise is encouraging. All three [Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker] came to Coach Pop at [...]

Last Tuesday, Andrew wrote about the winter of the Duncan Dynasty in San Antonio. His article was pessimistic about how much the current core could contribute to an additional championship, saying “the league passed San Antonio by.’ Of course, this pessimism is not entirely unfounded. The Spurs haven’t won the vaunted NBA title since 2007. [...]

Earlier this summer, someone published a why-the-Spurs-will-stink preview that included the statement that Tony Parker was “past his prime” as part if its argument. NBA.com is currently running an article under the title, “These players could be looking at a big decline this season“. The article includes Tony Parker in its list of (potentially) declining [...]
