Spurs dump Nets

Every Spurs fan knew that it was only a matter of time before the Spurs began flowing like they did en-route to winning their 5th championship but it has not been such a smooth transition what with injuries and father time still working its magic.  But the Spurs showed they are coming together quite nicely in a 87-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets Saturday night.  Tim Duncan nearly had a double-double and Tony Parker played lights out, scoring 22 points-shooting over 50% while dishing out seven assists.

“Tonight I thought our focus was really good,” Parker said. “It’s not easy to get back to the level that we were at last year in the Finals, but we’ll try hard. We’ve got a long time before the playoffs start.”

The Spurs have two home games coming up. Wednesday against the Pacers and Friday against the Kings.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today!

Spurs begin 4-game West Coast Swing

The City of Angels awaits the San Antonio Spurs and tonight they will face Blake Griffin and his Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center.  The Spurs, off to an uncharacteristic bad start at 2-3 face a Clippers franchise that has been on the rise the past three seasons.   The Clippers are 4-2 thus far into the early part of the schedule.  They will finish out the week against the Lakers, Warriors and Kings.

Tonight, the Spurs will be without Tiago Splitter (calf), Marco Belenili (groin) and Patty Mills (shoulder).  The Clippers should be at full strength.

Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets still remain so be sure to get yours now and cheer on the Defending NBA Champions.

Spurs drop first of four games to I-10 rival Rockets

With more than enough time to prepare for a post sans both Tiago Splitter and Tim Duncan, the Houston Rockets took full advantage and fed PF/C Dwight Howard to the tune of 32 points, 16 rebounds and two blocks.

“We looked at some stuff (on tape) and we got him in the post,” McHale said. “I thought (Howard) rolled hard and got some late at the rim. He was really devastating on those high passes. It’s important that he gets in a rhythm and plays. It doesn’t matter who is out there playing for them, he’s got to play well for us.”

The Spurs will have the opportunity to right the ship as they face the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours now!
