San Antonio Spurs @ Philadelphia 76ers

The Spurs are in Philadelphia to challenge the red hot 76ers in a showdown between the third place team in the West and the third place team in the East. Tonight's match kicks off four games in a row in the Eastern Conference for SA, who has only played three such games so far. While Philly is a legit three seed regardless of tonight's outcome, the Spurs still have some work to do to prove they belong that high. Coming back west with at least three wins out of four will help us hang on through Manu Ginobili's eventual return and the All-Star break.

San Antonio Spurs @ Memphis Grizzlies

OK kids, so this here is the part of the Venn diagram where the big red LWM circle overlaps the little green RRT circle, forming a brownish, non-symmetric lens of maximum difficulty. Now, while circle RRT is of a fixed and known size, the exact circumference of circle LWM is somewhat hypothetical. Conceivably, the overlap could transform into a full circle as RRT becomes entirely engulfed by LWM. Pity the thought, because the Spurs have certainly struggled away from home this season, and this month's road odyssey is by no means a cakewalk. Of the nine games, six are against very tough opponents. If there were ever a point in the season that it would be ideal for Manu Ginobili to return, this would probably be it. Are the Spurs ready to do this thing without him?

San Antonio Spurs vs Oklahoma City Thunder

TV: KENS 5 - RADIO: WOAI

The West leading Thunder arrive to the AT&T center to take on a tired Spurs ball club. While the Spurs have shown some life as of late (most notably starting with the Dallas game) they've often shot themselves in the foot at the beginning of the game by digging themselves into a huge hole. Hopefully this changes tonight against the Thunder.

San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets

SBC Center, San Antonio

The Spurs face a very familiar opponent tonight when they host the Rockets for the fourth and final time this regular season. Houston has crawled back from a 2-6 start, thanks in part to home wins against the silver and black, and tonight they'll be trying to overtake us in the hot mess that is the Western Conference standings. San Antonio's got to counter the high-scoring Rockets while building some consistency for the Hornets and Thunder rematches that follow.

On the road again, but not too far from home, today the Spurs visit the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.

There, that wasn't so bad to read, was it? That last part of the sentence took me a while to type, but once I did it, I discovered that the ground did not swallow me up and the earth continued right on rotating as if everything were normal. Who would have thought?

San Antonio Spurs @ Minnesota Timberwolves

Target Center
January 27, 7:00 PM Spurs Time
TV: FSNO - RADIO: WOAI 1200 AM

In the first meeting of the T'Wolves vs. our beloved Spurs, we lost our MVP candidate, Manu Ginobili and lost the game to the extremely hot-shooting Wolves. Since then, the teams have essentially gone in opposite directions. The Timberwolves have struggled to get over the hump of mediocrity going 6-7 in that timespan, while the Spurs have gone 9-5 during LWM. Both teams have had serious injury bugs with Minnesota having 6 players out for this game, while the Spurs have just 2.
