A high-energy homecoming is the way to start 2019. I’m not going to lie, although I liked using a picture of Danny Green in his NBA Championship #4, I really wanted to use a picture of Derrick White. Don’t get me wrong, Danny is great. A true Spur and an integral piece in the Spurs successes. Had the Spurs won …
Nothing like a little curmudgeon Pop humor to brighten your day. When Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich opens his mouth, you never know what you’re going to get. Even if the topic is just on basketball, his answer can range anywhere from terse one-word answers to completely off-topic spiel that still ultimately has a meaning. The latest example of Pop’s …
Spurs blow a definitive lead but end in a win over the Denver Nuggets. 7. There are seven dwarves as well as their interchangeable seven deadly sins (the latter coincidentally being a great David Fincher film).

The Spurs head coach needs to be careful this week I was talking to my friend Matt who is an archivist and he stated that there is no statistic that reveals ejections for NBA coaches.

Last night, the Spurs took the first night of a back-to-back and …
This week’s staff Round Table takes a look at Pop, the home stand and improvements to the Spurs play this season. The Spurs have recently played solid Spurs basketball. Not only does their record reflect it, but their defensive rating points to something going right. And with so much competition in the Western Conference, every game counts. With December 15th …
The 39 point drubbing is beginning to look like the new normal for the Spurs 9. Cats have nine lives. If they go the whole nine yards and might just end up on cloud nine. Possession is nine-tenths of the law. 9 is often used in psychological pricing, attempting to make the tag more appealing. We are the $19.99 people. …
The former Spurs assistant found plenty of time to hang out with some old friends. Heading into Monday’s clash with his old team and coming off a back-to-back in Cleveland, current Philadelphia 76ers head coach and former long-time Spurs assistant Brett Brown had little time to catch up with some old friends in San Antonio, but he made it work. …
Spurs win five of six at home carrying Pop closer to Jerry Sloan. 10. Ten is the number. Humans most commonly have ten fingers and ten toes. X is the Roman numeral for ten. Our monetary system is based in tens. A decade is ten years. Ten pins in bowling as each bowler completes ten frames. In boxing, the match …
The Spurs sunk the Clippers on Throwback Thursday and Pop moves closer to Jerry Sloan in the standings. 11. Eleven is the name of the fantastic character on Stranger Things. It’s also the key to the greatest music phrase of all time: Apollo 11 was the first spacecraft to land on the moon. Ocean’s Eleven was the 1960 Rat Pack …

Pop passes Pat Riley on the list of all time winningest coaches in the NBA 12. As the analog clock stands, it takes twelve hours for a full rotation. 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day. Each of those numbers divisible by 12. 12 months in a year, 12 zodiac signs, 12 …
No team has called more first-two-minute timeouts over the last decade than Pop. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich can be a mystery at times, but one thing is fore sure: in his world, it’s never too early to call a timeout. Spurs fans know just as well as his players that if the opening possession is botched too badly, an …
