Spurs get their 2014 championship rings and raise the banner

0 comments by

It was a historic night for the defending NBA champs as the Spurs received their championship rings and raised their fifth championship banner high atop the AT&T Center. It was more touching for the Spurs’ Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker as they got to celebrate another ring night together. Relive that special night […]

Kobe Bryant calls Dwight Howard soft

0 comments by

The Rockets were trouncing the Lakers. But the score is always 0-0 in Kobe Bryant‘s mind. It is about the game within the game. And even though his Lakers were trailing (and getting beat pretty badly), Bryant was taking no guff. Not even from his former teammate Dwight Howard. Bryant was pressuring Howard on a […]

A new year, another chance for the talented Pelicans to break through

0 comments by on 10/28/2014

In the 2013-14 season, the New Orleans Pelicans won 34 games and finished as the 12th seed in the harsh Western Conference. Looking at that for what it is, you might think the Pelicans do not have much going for them and are likely doomed for the West cellar against. But when you look deeper into […]

Previewing the Spurs’ 2014-15 season

0 comments by

With tomorrow being NBA opening night as well as the Spurs’ ring night and banner raising, Bloguin’s own Project Spurs did a San Antonio Spurs Roundtable to preview the defending champs’ 2014-15 season.

Of course the big question for the Spurs is will the team finally be able to defend a title after four other unsuccessful attempts.

The panel discussed who is the team’s x-factor? Which team is the biggest threat to the Spurs? Are the Mavs going to be an obstacle for the Spurs? How does rookie Kyle Anderson fit into the team plans?

The panel looks at new coaches Ettore Messina and Becky Hammon. What kind of impact will they bring to the Spurs?

Clippers’ Steve Ballmer is really intense

0 comments by

New Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is one intense dude. Not only did he have one insane introductory pep rally with the fans, in a recent preseason game. Steve was shown on the Clippers’ big screen TV where he went red in the face and started to fist pump. Hey at least it beats having a […]

0 comments by on 10/27/2014

How about this to kick off the 2014-15 NBA regular season then to have the Denver Nuggets parody Taylor Swift’s song “Shake it off.” The video includes Denver’s mascot, “Rocky,” Kenneth Faried with a boombox, Danillo Gallinari kind of sort of dancing to the Denver cheerleaders doing their thing.

Tony Parker yells ‘hey’ and refs call a foul

0 comments by on 10/26/2014

Spurs guard Tony Parker may have figured out the easy way to get a foul called in his favor. Here is the formula: simply drive into the lane, flail wildly in the air, yell “hey” and make sure the defender is no where near you. During a preseason game against the Rockets, the point guard […]

The NBA recently completed its GM survey before the season as it always does and included in it whom the general managers thought were the contenders for the NBA championship and the best player at each position.

Former NBA baller Josh Childress is playing with the Sydney Kings in Australia and in a recent game, he went and lost his mind and punched a guy to the ground. After being on the receiving end of a clean-hard pick, Josh didn’t take kindly to the defensive move and decided it be best to […]
