Gregg Popovich may be overseeing a basketball juggernaut that mows down opponents with extreme prejudice – the San Antonio Spurs have posted a stunning record of 30-5 since March 1st – but the brilliant head coach continues to fret over their fortunes as they go deeper into their postseason run. From the Express-News: “Coaches torture themselves over success, and Gregg [...]
Gregg Popovich can’t win like the old days. No longer can the San Antonio Spurs simply feed Tim Duncan the ball, let their defense do the rest and ride that game plan to NBA championships. But the new way Popovich has them winning isn’t bad, either. That acknowledgment came Tuesday when Popovich was honored as the NBA’s Coach of the [...]
The rap on Kawhi Leonard coming out of college was that the kid could play, but he sure couldn’t shoot. Leonard projected to be a great rebounder and defender for his position and at just 29 percent from the college 3-point line, he projected to be a project on the offensive end. Look at him now. Starting for the second [...]
When nothing seems to help, I go and look at the stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps 100 times without so much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the 101st blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it but all that had gone on before. The words of [...]

Spurs point guard T.J.

Ford told reporters that lying motionless March 7 on the court against the New York Knicks wasn’t the first time it had happened, [...]
Our first clue that the San Antonio Spurs’ league-best 11-game winning streak might be coming to a self-inflicted end came when coach Gregg Popovich announced his starting point guard to the assembled media: “Cory Alexander.” That’s not who Popovich meant to say, obviously — Cory Alexander was a bit player for the Spurs a long, long time ago. So long [...]
The least profitable death pool in history might be the one that aims to predict the demise of the San Antonio Spurs. It’s been a decade-long exercise that accelerates with each injury to Manu Ginobili, every trade rumor that has Tony Parker being shipped off and every moment when Tim Duncan seems like he might finally succumb to the hands [...]
It will be recorded as just another San Antonio loss, in a season with too many. This one came against a crucial rival, in overtime, with playoff implications. But to me the dazzling thing about the Spurs’ loss to the Mavericks is that it was a chance for the Spurs to rub the rest of the league’s face in the [...]
Former lottery pick and five-year NBA veteran Ike Diogu has signed a contract with the Spurs. Several published reports indicate the contract is for one year. Diogu, a 6-foot-9, 250-pound power forward most recently played with the Los Angeles Clippers last season.
