Tough Stretch for Spurs begins tonight

The next four home games for the Defending Western Conference Champion San Antonio Spurs will test their mettle and fortitude as they face four playoff bound teams beginning with a nationally televised game against the Chicago Bulls tonight.  Bulls have been battling injuries all season and actually have 142 player games missed due to injury.  The team lost both Aaron Brooks and Bobby Portis in a 100-90 win on Monday night over the Milwaukee Bucks.

“I mean at this point it’s borderline comical,” veteran Mike Dunleavy said. “We just can’t stay healthy for whatever reason.”

Following the Bulls, the Spurs will host the Oklahoma City Thunder, the LA Clippers and the Portland Trailblazers.  Plenty of great seat and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your San Antonio Spurs.

Spurs happy to be home; learn of Martin manuvers

The San Antonio Spurs completed another successful Rodeo Road Trip finishing at 7-1 after handily  beating the Houston Rockets 104-94.  Now they look to keep their undefeated home record intact as they entertain the Detroit Pistons tonight at the AT&T Center.

“Our guys played well and stayed locked in the whole trip,” said LaMarcus Aldridge, who had 26 points and 16 rebounds against the Rockets. “I think everybody was motivated to finish the trip off right.”

The Spurs also made free agent news signing veteran guard Andre Miller and are still looking hard at Kevin Martin, who was recently released from his contract with Minnesota.  In order to make room for Miller, guard Ray McCallum was waived.  Head Coach Gregg Popovich joked about the signing of Miller.

“He’s gonna be terrible. That’s why we brought him in. He’s got no chance to fit in whatsoever. I can’t believe we did that,” coach Gregg Popovich quipped before continuing.
