San Antonio Spurs

By Jeff Carr of Bleacher Report

In this day and age of selfishness, showboating, and lack of loyalty, I would like to take just a moment to say thank you to those who deserve it.

Two words that still have significant meaning that aren't said enough, at least not with sincerity.

March of the Spurs  11/05/08

0-3

Those numbers do not look good.  Three games into the season and the Spurs have yet to win a game.  Is it time to panic?  Clearly, it's not.  However, do any Spurs fans remember going 0-3 this early in the season?  Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are doing their part.  Roger Mason Jr. and George Hill played well.  This was George's first game, and there were some positive things, but where are the rest?  17 point loss, this does not sit well with the Maverick haters in the San Antonio area.  As I'm sure I'll say all month, we miss Manu.  He is the missing piece of the puzzle that has resulted in an early defeated season.  Never have I craved for December as much as I am now, unless you count my childhood days.  But much like Santa Claus, Manu could very well deliver wins as much needed gifts early in the season.  Still 79 games to go, so 0-3, statistically not bad.  Win one though, ok?

March of the Spurs  11/03/08

That march looks a bit like a limp as the Spurs wobble into the season down 0-2.  One could say that Manu is sorely needed, and that this month could be a long one without him.  Next up, the Mavericks, no not John McCain and Sara Palin, the other Mavericks.  Although, let's face it, those Mavericks can be just as offensive.  This could be the point of turnaround for the Spurs.

And so it begins.

Another season is upon us.  Today the Spurs take on the Phoenix Suns at the AT&T center. 

Let the hating begin.  Shaq started shooting his mouth off weeks ago.  His claim was that the "Hack a Shaq" strategy used by Coach Pop in the playoffs was not effective.  Then he called coach Pop a coward, and would make him pay for that, starting today.  You think Pop cares?  Absolutely not.  But I'm sure if Shaq decided to approach him during the game (and i'm sure there will be words) and not stop, Pop's survival instincts will kick in.  Here's the truth on Shaq's statements.  He said that it didn't work.  But who took out the Sun's from the playoffs?  The SPURS.  So it did work.  Hack a Shaq worked with flying colors, why stop now.  You stop when Shaq can make a few free throws, which is never.  So keep talking Shaq.  Open your mouth and insert your large foot, but do us all a favor and swallow.  The best news coming from Shaq is his retirement.  He will drain the Suns this year, playing when he feels like it and taking home that fat check.  That's a true coward, not playing when you can, but collecting the cash.  Punk.

For those of us who follow the Spurs, we have received some very distressing news with regards to the upcoming season. One of our stars is likely NOT going to be suiting up this year because of surger

Those are the four main words that stand out when discussing the absolutely original dynasty of the San Antonio Spurs.  A lot of analysts and fans always compare dominant teams of now to past dynasties.  Can one compare the

Tuesday night’s game was more of a New Orleans Hornets win and not a Spurs loss.  The Hornets outplayed the Spurs on every aspect, they never let the Spurs get a decent shot and they never let the Spurs defend properly.  Again they outplayed the Spurs.Every time it seemed the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili or Tony Parker could end the bleeding with a three pointer or driving the lane, the Hornets came right back with an alleyoop or a West three-pointer.  A lot of analysts say the Hornets are inexperienced and young and can’t win the championship, well...Tuesday’s game really changed things around or did it?The Hornets have not won in San Antonio and like most NBA teams in the playoffs; it seems to be very hard for a team to win on the road this year (except for the Pistons).  As long as they continue to play this well especially with the defense and the mismatches on offense, they could beat the Spurs.
