I normally pride myself on being a pretty objective fan of the Spurs. I try not to overreact to big wins or big losses and I try to blog what I see, telling you when the Spurs are great and when they suck. So, it is with that set of facts that I confess to you this game may have driven me over the edge of sanity. Your reply of course is “Duh”, since I’m connecting the Spurs-Clippers game with a recent sci-fi space drama. I’ll connect dots for you below. Continue Reading…

Here we go. Oh wait, that’s a Bud Light commercial. It’s our rapid succession set of games. I’m sitting on the fence with this one. We either look terrible and lose by 12. Or we look completely dominant and win by 20. I’ll make up my mind here shortly…

The Spurs just won an average game. An average game for them that is. Their 105-88 win really is right at their average lately. Both offensively and defensively. Over the last 16 games, all Spurs wins, they have averaged 110.6 points and given up 93.5 points. That’s a 17.1 point margin, just 0.1 above Thursday’s.

After a week off from watching basketball games that I cared about, having 3 games in the next 4 days feels like Christmas come early. I doubt it will feel that way for the players, however, especially those who have nagging injuries or who are old and worn out. Of course, the way our “old” guys played in Game 1, I’m not sure anyone on either team fits that last category.

Ok, so my title is a bit strong. The Spurs did not stink, but this was nowhere near their best game. The stats tell a lot of the story: 18 turnovers (and 24 points off of those turnovers), 17 points off transition for the Clips, a poor shooting night for the team MVP, and 29 1st-quarter points. And yet, it’s a 16-point win. Pop’s a happy man: double-digit win and lots to harp on in the film room tomorrow. Continue Reading…

Well, it’s finely here. Game 1 of round two between the evil Los Angeles Clippers and the saintly San Antonio Spurs. This Fanalysis is brought to you by Dan and Jeff from Spurs Dynasty, Mark from PtR, Eric from nowhere, and Bart and Wayne from right here.

We hope you enjoy!

Oh wait, it did come fast enough. Just fast enough. Hey, it’s a road playoff win and it’s first round sweep. We’ll take it. In the playoffs, ugly wins count just as much as pretty wins.

Here’s to what we hope is the last game of Round 1 for the Spurs. I’m over the Jazz at this point and completely ready to move on to Round 2. Of course, a few days rest would be nice and we’ll know later tonight whether the Clips / Grizz series is going to be long or if it’s winding down.

In spite of how close this game seemed to be, at no point did I feel like the Spurs were going to lose it. I know that sounds weird, given that they were down most of the first half, but it’s true. It was a terrible half of Spurs basketball, but thanks to a brilliant bit of Pop coaching, they led by 2 at intermission. From there, it was simply a matter of time.
