Rodeo Road Trip off to a Great Start

It’s that time of the year again for the San Antonio Spurs.  That special month of February when their home court is turned into a huge holding pen for the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.  To date, the road trip has been used to firmly gel the team and get all healthy bodies on the right page and ready for the last portion of the NBA season.  With a 71-26 “Rodeo Road Trip” record, the Spurs have never fallen under .500.  This season, though may prove to be the hardest to date – since 2003.  This season, the trip includes stops in Toronto (lost), Indiana (won), Detroit, LA Clippers, Golden State, Portland, Utah, Phoenix.  There is every reason to believe that the Spurs will have trouble.  On the other hand, the Spurs thrive on the trip…so let’s play the games!

Next up for the Spurs are the Pistons.  For you Spurs fans in Detroit, make sure you get out and support the Champs.  Great seats and affordable tickets are still available. Get yours now!

Spurs to meet The President before taking on Wiz

The defending NBA Champions San Antonio Spurs are scheduled to visit the White House today and are to be recognized as the 2014 NBA Champions.   The Spurs face the Washington Wizards tomorrow night.

Last night, the Spurs took on the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday night where another Spurs bench player, Austin Daye, had the best game of his career.  Daye, who totaled just over six minutes in the prior nine games, started against the Timberwolves and by the end of the game, finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 108-93 victory.

“Pop believes in all his players and you know he’ll throw you into weird situations at any time, so you just got to be ready,” said Daye,”

Duncan eclipses another record in win over Pelicans

The San Antonio Spurs work collectively as a team so when one member charts an accomplishment, there had better be a win behind it or it will be overlooked.  So when Tim Duncan passed NBA legend and former Washington Bullet (now Wizards) to move into 10th place in all time rebounding, oh and the other thing, tying  Karl Malone for 5th all time in double-doubles,  in the slim victory over the Pelicans mattered more.

There was Tim Duncan, now 10th all time rebounder and 5th all time double-doubler tipping in the go ahead basket with .7 seconds remaining.  With Boris Diaw inbounding, Duncan, draped by Pelicans, flipped a shot into the bucket taking the game into the fourth overtime game in recent weeks.

“If you don’t get up for the Spurs, it’s tough,” New Orleans forward Anthony Davis said. “They’re a championship-caliber team. They bring it every night. That makes you put out your best performance and that’s just what we try to do when we play them.”

In overtime, the Spurs fell behind by six early on but the Spurs battled back off of two Manu buckets and then Tim Duncan was at the line.  The first bucket went in giving the Spurs a two point advantage.  Duncan missed the second on purpose forcing the Pelicans’ to lob a last second shot but to no avail.   The Spurs walk out with a 95-93 victory.

There is little time to regroup as the Spurs next face the Washington Wizards tomorrow night.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so get yours now and help cheer on your Defending NBA Champion Spurs!
