It’s called Trade Golf because you shoot for the lowest score. While the trade deadline can be an exciting time for fans anticipating big moves and shakeups for both their teams and the entire league, expectations in San Antonio are generally tempered. The last time the Spurs made a mid-season trade was 2014’s blockbuster Nando De Colo-for-Austin Daye swap that …
Tony explains how he has wrongfully taken blame for Kawhi’s departure. We recently took a look at another Michael C.

San Antonio’s young point guard is excelling in setting up easy buckets. The Spurs’ offense looks a little broken right now. Over their last four games, the Spurs are scoring just 107.2 points per 100 possessions, far below their season average of 113.5, and that’s including their offensive explosion against the Thunder. Without Rudy Gay over that period, and with …
It was a tough decision for Tony, but the right one for his career.

Wright has you covered, delving deep into what all transpired between …

The active member of the Spurs Big 3 made a one-time appearance last night. It was weird. Right? It’s just weird. Tony Parker headed into the AT&T Center last night not wearing a silver and black jersey? Even stranger, teal and purple. I mean, those colors shouldn’t even be together in the first place. It was great to cheer him …
After receiving a hero’s welcome in his return to San Antonio, the Wee Frenchman helped deal his former team a rare home loss. Whether you think of time as an arrow, an ocean, or a man draped in black, the ebbs of change come all the same, be it with the tide or swings of a ghostly scythe. In the …

Spurs play a couple for the history books, but road woes continue. This week saw the Spurs add to the history books. A win in Detroit got Gregg Popovich closer to 3rd place on the list of the winningest coaches and an incredible double OT win versus the Oklahoma City Thunder put him over the top. That OKC game at …
