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 …
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. …
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). Speaking of films, The Magnificent Seven, The Seven Year Itch, and The Seventh Sign, The Seventh Seal, and Seven …
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. It is not as simple as typing “how many times has Gregg Popovich been ejected?” into a search engine, so …
A confident San Antonio return sends the Timberwolves out with a whimper. The Spurs have lost 15 games to 15 teams this season. Since November 23rd, they have played and beaten 8 of those teams in the subsequent meeting. Henceforth, avenged losses will be dubbed the Redemption Tour. Last night, the Spurs took the first …
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 …
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. …
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, …
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 …
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 …
For as infinite as his presence feels to fans of the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich won’t coach forever. When the time comes, who deserves to take his place as leader of the franchise?

The Spurs are out and about spreading holiday …
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 …
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 …
Before Wednesday night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich provided a somewhat discouraging update on Kawhi Leonard’s status.

Prior to Monday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, former San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli spoke well of head coach Gregg Popovich. On Monday night, when the San Antonio Spurs faced the Atlanta Hawks, it wasn’t only a reunion for Dewayne Dedmon but Marco Belinelli — even if he last played for the Silver and …
There’s something in San Antonio that the rest of the NBA wishes it had: The System. The team’s best player is out. The team’s future Hall of Fame point guard is out. And yet the Spurs continue to win. There’s something the keeps them going even when it seems like they don’t have enough talent …

Friday night’s game between the San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic was the first time Jonathon Simmons played a regular season game against his old team since leaving in the offseason.

The 4-0 Spurs are shooting fewer threes than everyone else, which is just fine for the league’s foremost adversary of the long ball. Gregg Popovich’s feelings on the three ball have been well-known for years. Despite featuring it prominently for the Spurs’ 2014 championship run, the coach has never personally embraced the shot — a …
