Green Posts new Franchise Record

The defending champion San Antonio Spurs, have been quietly taking care of business this year and, as the team always does, they have not cared to concern themselves with what every other team in the league was doing.  Pundits, as they always do, counted them out again as a step slower, a year older and not able to sustain the high play they showed in the 2014 NBA Playoffs.  Yet, the Spurs now find themselves in second place in the Western Conference with one final game against the New Orleans Pelicans left to play.

“We are just going to play the games,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “Wherever we end up, that’s what we’ll do. We can only control our game.”

In taking out the Phoenix Suns 107-91 yesterday afternoon, SG Danny Green set a new franchise record for made three pointers in a season once held by “The Rifleman” Chuck Pearson with 190.  Green ended the game with 191 made three’s.

“Both unbelievably great shooters in their time,” Forward Tim Duncan said. “Danny is really coming into his own now. He is comfortable in his role and what he has to do and what he is allowed to do.”

The Spurs have one final game, on the road, against the New Orleans Pelicans.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are astill available so be sure to get yours today!!

Grizz leave no room for overtime; dump Spurs

The Memphis Grizzlies remember well the triple overtime game just a few games back.  Backed by a home crowd, the Grizzlies were fueled early on in the game with guard Mike Conelly scroing 16 points.  He would eventually finish with 30 points.

“That team has had our number for three or four years,” Conley said. “With or without their starters, they seem to always beat us. It’s a huge win for us at home and a huge statement. Hopefully, we can just continue building off of it.”

The Spurs do expect Point Guard Tony Parker to play tonight.  He did not play against the Grizzlies.

There is no rest for the defending champion Spurs as they overnight from Memphis back to San Antonio for a New Year’s Eve matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Be sure to get your tickets now and help cheer on your Defending NBA Champions!

Spurs notch 17th straight victory

A victory over the Pacers tonight could leave the Spurs undefeated in March

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night to collect their 17th straight victory.  The Silver and Black have not lost in March and with a victory over the Indiana Pacers tonight will leave them undefeated in March.

While Head Coach Gregg Popovich is now looking for the next defeat, admitting he is waiting for the next defeat,  his team is riding the wave with their familiar low key approach.

“It is sweet to be a part of that,” SG Manu Ginobili said. “It is not something that happens very often because it is a long spread of game, a month or two. Here or there you have a bad game or the opponent has a bad one, but a lot of things have combined for us to have this type of streak. We played really well and we are healthy.”

The Spurs must defeat the Indiana Pacers on the road if they want to go undefeated.  The Pacers have dropped five of their last seven games and are now just one game ahead of the Miami Heat for the best in the East.

“We can’t figure out a way to perform better,” said center David West.  “We’ve done what you do, we’ve had team meetings. We’ve had players-only meetings. We’ve had players and the coaches (meetings). We’re kind of looking for answers right now, and things don’t get any easier.”
