Spurs drop game to Suns

No matter how much Spurs fans wanted their beloved Silver & Black to go undefeated, it was inevitable that it was not going to happen.  Better to get that first loss out of the way and the Phoenix Suns accommodated the Spurs with four point guards in the final minutes of the game to win 89-94.

“I think it puts a lot of pressure on teams with who they’re going to guard,” Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. “All those guys just turned it up defensively and that’s what we need.”

The Spurs will host the Atlanta Hawks this Wednesday.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours now and get out to support your Defending World Champion Spurs

Parker adamant that he wants to remain with the Spurs

Despite reports that indicate his team is at least gauging interest from other teams about trading him, Tony Parker said Wednesday night in New York that he wants to remain a part of the Spurs franchise.

The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn caught up with Parker Wednesday night before the Steve Nash Celebrity Soccer Match in New York City. Parker is adamant about remaining with the Spurs, the only team he has ever played with during his 10-season NBA career.

“I love San Antonio. I signed for four years. I want to stay there,” Parker said in a.  

The interview was later played on television and Parker appeared steadfast that he wants to stay with the Spurs.

If Parker is traded, it would rank as one of the two biggest player swaps in the history of the franchise. Considering Parker’s role in the team’s championship history, the only other comparable move in Spurs history was the trade of  a past-his-prime George Gervin to Chicago for David Greenwood before the 1985 season.

What about it Spurs Nation?

Will Tony Parker be the starting point guard for the Spurs when the expected lockout ends next season?

And do you want to see him back playing for the Silver and Black?  

As always, I’m interested in your thoughts.
