Spurs open 2013-14 Season against Memphis Grizzlies

Your reigning Western Conference Champions; Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Boris Diaw are back as are Tiago Splitter, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Cory Joseph, Matt Bonner, Aron Baynes and Nando de Cola.  Add new free agents Jeff Ayers, Marco Belinelli and the Spurs are ready to take on the Western Conference and the NBA.

The season opens with a heavy heart as the franchise knows they were mere seconds from another championship.

“Suffice it to say, I’ve thought about it every day,” admitted head coach Gregg Popovich, speaking more than three months after the shot. “I’m wondering if it’ll go away. I’m anxious for it to happen, but it hasn’t happened yet.”

But if it is one thing you can count on from a Spurs team, is that they will be ready to take the floor from the first to the last tip of the season.

“Everybody’s ready to go,” Popovich said after practice Tuesday. “Preseason is over with and everybody on every team is anxious to play.”

Great seats and Tickets are still available for tonight’s match up.

Spurs ready themselves for Game three after routing Heat in Game two

The San Antonio Spurs will walk into the AT&T Center tonight knowing that they are only two games away from a fifth NBA Title and another humiliation of “the anointed one” LeBron James at the hands of the Spurs.

“My Cleveland team, we were very young, and we went up against a very experienced team, well-coached team. And they (the Spurs) took advantage of everything that we did.”

While the Heat “Big Three” of Wade, Bosch and James is a much more appealing than Llgauskas, Hughes and Gooden, the Wade and Bosch have done pretty much all they can to help secure a victory but  the “Anointed One” has not been on target.

“I’ll be better,” James said on Wednesday,  “I’ll be much better [Thursday] night.”  “So I’m putting all the pressure on my chest, on my shoulders to come through for our team. That’s the way it is.”

Game 4 begins at 8:00 Eastern  and tickets for the AT&T Center are still available.

Spurs back home for games 3-5

After a bruising loss to the defending champion Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs are back in the confines of home where they were nearly unstoppable with a 35-6 record.

After a 103-84 route in Miami, the Spurs are feeling lucky to be in the position they are in.

“If you would have asked me before heading to Miami, I would have said O.K., I’ll take it,” Manu Ginobili said after splitting the first two games of the series.  “You don’t want to play like this in an N.B.A. finals.”

Tickets are still available for all three remaining home games
