Spurs blowout Bucks, travel to Memphis

The San Antonio Spurs (15-4) remained undefeated at home after dismantling the Milwaukee Bucks 95-70 last night and now take their show on the road for a game against the  Memphis Grizzlies (11-8) who beat the New Orleans Pelicans 113-104 Monday night.

Tim Duncan led the way last night and in limited minutes finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds but it was the Spurs defense that shined most brightly.

“You’ve got Kawhi, Timmy and now LaMarcus (Aldridge). That’s quite a bit of length, and you can’t forget Danny (Green),” Milwaukee guard O.J. Mayo said. “They force you to take contested 2s and try to run you off the 3. It’s a solid ballclub.”

The Spurs packed up and are headed to Tennessee to take on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight before returning home to tangle with the Boston Celtics (10-8) on Saturday night.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available for Saturday’s game.  Get yours today and be a part of Spurs History!

Spurs prepped for Bucks after Bulls Loss

The San Antonio Spurs (14-4) welcome the Milwaukee Bucks (7-11) to town tonight as they look to get back on the winning track after losing to the Chicago Bulls (10-5) 92-89.  The Spurs, who were leading after three quarters 73-70, allowed the Bull to pull off an 11-2 stretch and were steadied by Pau Gasol’s 18 points and 13 boards.

“We are not good offensively, and may not be until March,” coach Gregg Popovich said. “Offense will take a while. We have a lot of guys getting used to each other, and how to play together.”

The Bucks have been struggling offensively even as they ended a three game losing skid against the Denver Nuggets Monday night with a 92-74 blowout.  Tonight they face a Spurs team that is as good defensively as they ever and still rank first in overall efficiency, sixth in opponent three point percentage and third in opponent field goal percentage.

Spurs add two more to roster

The San Antonio Spurs are on a continuing mission to find shooters and have landed former Pelicans guard Jimmer Fredette.   Fredette, the former 10th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks, was immediately traded to the Sacramento Kings.  After two seasons with Sacramento, he spent the 13-14 season with the Bulls before signing on with New Orleans.  Fredette is a career .485 FG shooter while shooting .381 from beyond the arc.

The Spurs also inked the reigning Summer League Champion MVP Jonathon Simmons.  In the NBASL, Simmons averaged 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.71 steals in 24.6 minutes per game.  Simmons also shot above 50% (51.9) from the field and was a 70% free throw shooter.

The Spurs open the preseason against the Phoenix Suns.  Plenty of individual and season tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your San Antonio Spurs.
