Another night, another loss.  The man on the left killed us.  As did the oldest man in the NBA, who ironically isn't a Spur.

On the positive side, at least our defense kinda, sorta showed up tonight.  Unfortunately, the offense didn't.  Despite what Fred has told us in the past, I don't like SEGABABAs.  I don't think the Spurs do either.  And I'm fairly certain they aren't fond of the Northwest Division right not, either.

Spurs @ Jazz: Stat of the Game: 7

Last night featured an abysmal performance by our San Antonio Spurs.  I watched the entire game in disbelief.  I kept thinking, "There is no way the Spurs will play this poorly for 48 minutes;" but obviously, they did.  There were many stats that I could have highlighted that would have helped to explain just what happened, but none were so impactful as the 7 three pointers that Utah took.  6 of those came when the game was already decided.  They only connected on one of their attempts, but the fact that they only took 7 threes implies that the Spurs gave up easy, high-percentage shots to Utah all night long.

Game Preview #5: San Antonio Spurs @ Portland Blazers

Portlandskyline_medium

Don't let the beauty fool you.  This is going to get ugly.

Tonight, our Spurs take on my second favorite team, the Trailblazers.  So from my perspective, one of my teams will win and the other will lose.  I can't lose.  Or should that say "I can't win"?  Oh forget it, let's talk about what to expect.

Did everyone enjoy their vacation from the NBA?

And we're back.  It's Thursday (for which Lauri is very happy), and after a strange four day break in the schedule, the Spurs are embarking on a little road trip, with the first stop in Utah.

More after the jump.

Game Preview #3: Sacramento Kings @ San Antonio Spurs - Scare Tactics

The team needs to be scared stiff to play their best basketball and quickly bury this win-hungry Kings team six feet under. I think I have just the right idea.  Close your eyes when you make the jump.
