    San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Actually Got Fouled Out

    One of the most recognizable features Tim Duncan has is his ‘Me?!’ face after being called for a foul. In the 101-95 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, the San Antonio Spurs actually had to do without him for the final six minutes of the game as he fouled out.

    Spurs vs Grizzlies – Manu Ginobili Saving the Day

    The key word coming out of every Spurs mouth was ‘mentality’. How the Spurs didn’t let the late fourth quarter events get to them, picking themselves up against the Grizzlies and coming away with the overtime win. That should be especially surprising considering where Manu Ginobili was seven months ago.

  • Clippers vs Spurs – An Expected Demolition

    Back to back games? Visiting a fresh San Antonio Spurs team? Not playing with Chris Paul? Even though it did get a little bit embarrassing at times, it wasn’t very surprising to see the Los Angeles Clippers getting decimated by the Spurs.

  • Knicks vs Spurs – Finally a win Against the West

    The whole East – West disparity has gotten a little crazy this season, but maybe things are starting to even out.

    Spurs vs Mavericks – Tim Duncan in the Post, Danny Green From Everywhere Else

    For a minute there, Danny Green thought he was in the NBA finals, when no shot seemed too difficult, and every open look ended in the net.

    Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin as he Should be While James Harden Rules Late

    The Houston Rockets played like a team that can win an NBA title as they won on the road against the San Antonio Spurs for a second time in a row. James Harden put on a show late, Chandler Parsons was great early on, but it was also quite pleasing to see Jeremy Lin, for most of the game, playing like an actual point guard and getting the kind of minutes he should be.

    NBA on Christmas – Rockets vs Spurs Predictions

    The Houston Rockets and especially James Harden were a huge problem for the San Antonio Spurs last time these two teams met, but there’s a good chance he won’t be playing, which means there will be a lot more pressure on Jeremy Lin and Dwight Howard to avoid the beginning of a losing streak.

    Tim Duncan Showing Off His Point Guard Skills

    There have been few big men in the history of the NBA with the vision, basketball IQ and passing ability that Tim Duncan possesses. For a small moment in the 112-99 win for the San Antonio Spurs over the Toronto Raptors, he also showed he can dribble like a point guard.

  • Thunder vs Spurs – Russell Westbrook too Much to Handle

    Thunder vs Spurs – Russell Westbrook too Much to Handle

    There have been plenty of rough nights for Russell Westbrook against the Spurs, especially in San Antonio.

  • Spurs vs Warriors – Who Needs the big Three

    Spurs vs Warriors – Who Needs the big Three

    Gregg Popovich didn’t like the fact that Tony Parker was sitting alone at home, nursing a bad ankle. So he gave Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili the night off, which didn’t really stop the San Antonio Spurs from beating the Golden State Warriors 104-102, as Tiago Splitter made the crucial tip in, a borderline goaltending violation, with only 2.1 seconds left.
