Spurs knock Bucks to .500

The defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs, winners of eight of their last 10 games picked up their second consecutive victory, disposing of the Milwaukee Bucks 95-101. The Spurs now await the arrival of the Charlotte Hornets, who are coming off a victory over the hapless New York Knicks.

The Spurs, after losing to the Bulls playing “… embarrassing basketball,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “I want my money back.” The team came into the game against the Lakers with an attitude that carried over to the Bucks. Although the Bucks game had a bit of a learning curve to it.

“Actually, when they’re young and they’ve changed their team a bit, and their coach, it takes a little while to get used to it,” Duncan said. “We hadn’t seen them. It took a half to get used to what they were doing. And then when we did, we did a much better job; taking care of the ball, moving the ball and luckily we made some shots.”

The Spurs will have a couple of days before the Hornets game this Wednesday. Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours now and help support your defending NBA Champion Spurs!

Spurs take streak to the Mile High City

Match up a tale of two teams

The San Antonio Spurs have finally found their footing and their swagger with the return of the last seasons Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard who had 12 points and nine rebounds in his second game back, an 89-69 blowout victory over the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets, on the other hand, are now reeling from a blowout of their own. a 122-79 debacle at the hands of the Golden State Warriors.

“We didn’t compete. We looked like we were scared,” Nuggets Coach Brian Shaw said. “I’m trying to be guarded in what I’m saying because I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus, but I just don’t understand how as a team we can’t come out and compete when you’re playing the best team in the league.”

Tony Parker, who sat out against the Nuggets last go around, will be on the floor tonight facing Ty Lawson.

“We have a great opportunity,” guard Tony Parker said. “We have two big games on the road and then we have a lot of games at home. It would be nice to take all those games because we have some catching up to do.”

Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available to you Spurs fans on the road. Be sure to get out and support your Silver n Black!

Spurs on verge of longest losing streak since 2011

Rajon Rondo was the big story of the night but it was Monte Ellis who ended up with the big night, scoring 38 points including 11 in the critical fourth quarter against the Spurs Saturday night.

“I felt it,” Ellis said of his late surge. “It’s in my blood. Those guys were tired from last night, and their defense let up, so we took advantage.”

Rondo, who was dealt from the Celtics in a multi-player deal Thursday dished out nine assists, collected seven rebounds and ended the night with six points on 3-11 shooting.

The Spurs, who are dealing with injuries, have now lost seven of their last eleven games and are close to a losing streak long left behind. Point guard Tony Parker is still questionable and has been upgraded to “game time decision” while Kawhi Leonard is still out rehabbing a torn ligament in his right hand. All this while the Los Angeles Clippers come calling.

“It’s not as bad as it sounds,” Leonard said before Saturday’s triple-overtime loss to Portland. “I should be back soon.”

Be sure to get your tickets now and help cheer on your Spurs over the Clippers!
