Matt Bonner And Zach Randolph Give Us The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
This was absolutely the highlight of last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game. There's just something refreshing about watching two NBA players flail around like a couple of hapless rec leaguers. I hope every remaining game in this series features multiple jump balls between Randolph and Bonner, each endin...
Jalen Rose Says Tony Allen's Flop Was Worthy Of A Pulitzer Prize
When Manu Ginobili hit Tony Allen with a flagrant foul late in last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game, Allen engaged in a truly fantastic bit of theater by pretending that Ginobili's foul had caused him to slam his head against the floor. It was a flop for the ages (which doesn't change the fact that th...
Spurs Beat Grizzlies; All Anyone Cares About Is "We Did It" Guy
Memphis came back from a mighty deficit to force overtime in San Antonio (thanks to a questionable late flagrant foul call) but couldn't pull out the victory. It led one fan nearby to issue quite the verbal ejaculation. Deadspin I-Team, assemble....
Grizzlies Couldn't Stop Or Score On The Spurs, So They Got Blown Out
The Memphis Grizzlies, everyone's new favorite team to win the Western Conference finals and get to the NBA Championship and perhaps maybe beat the Miami Heat to a Three 6 Mafia soundtrack, just got lit up by the old-ass Spurs, 105-83. It didn't even feel that close, save for a cute third-quarter ru...
Tracy McGrady Blocked Two Shots, And The Spurs Won, Too
So, the San Antonio Spurs smacked the Golden State Warriors 109-91. The Spurs are up 3-2, and have a chance to close out the most exciting series of the NBA Conference semifinals when they travel to Golden State on Thursday. Fine. Great. That's not why we're writing this....
The Spurs May Finally Be Too Old For This Shit
It's hard to imagine the Spurs getting old. Maybe it's because they've already spent so many years as the elder statesmen of the Western Conference that we just expect them to keep doing what they do forever—consistently outplaying and outsmarting younger teams while staring down the perils of age b...
Deadspin I-Team: Who Is The Shrieking Spurs Fan?
Last night's Warriors-Spurs double-OT thriller was exciting, but many fans at home struggled to fully integrate themselves into the game experience thanks to a shrill Spurs fan whose voice came through loud and clear on TNT's broadcast....
Manu Ginobili's Stumbling Heroics, In His Own Words
After a furious comeback, two overtimes, and 44 points from Steph Curry, the game that had everything came down to Manu Ginobili. But not before he nearly gave Gregg Popovich and Spurs fans a heart attack. ...
That Warriors-Spurs Game Was Bonkers
Manu Ginobili hit the game-winning shot with 1.2 seconds left in double-overtime to put a bow on an absolutely incredible game. With less than four minutes left in regulation Klay Thompson fouled out with the Warriors up 104-88. Chris Webber said something along the lines of "luckily, they don't ne...
Is There Any Joy In Sweeping These Lakers?
"Let's try for a miracle," Mike D'Antoni told his undermanned, overmatched team before Game 4. "Why not?"...
Dwight Howard Gets Ejected And Kobe Bryant Returns To A Hero's Welcome
Dwight Howard was ejected in the third quarter of Game 4 against the Spurs after he received his second technical foul. The shorthanded Lakers were already getting manhandled with Howard actually in the lineup so this game, and series, is over....
This Heckler At Staples Center Really Wants Matt Bonner's Attention
We don't know why this gentleman, presumably a Lakers fan, wants the attention of Spurs big man Matt Bonner. (Perhaps he suspects Bonner of having gotten him pregnant.) Regardless, he is very close to TNT's court mic, which we've isolated here....
The Lakers Are Breaking Down
The Lakers lost, 102-91, to fall down 0-2 in their matchup with San Antonio. The game was unremarkable: the lead was eight at the half, 10 after the third; the Spurs were their usual, relentless, efficient selves. The Lakers were directionless, and with two more possibly significant injures, it migh...
Mike D'Antoni Is Delighted To Hear Kobe Was Live-Tweeting The Game
So, this super-fun and interesting Kobe-Bryant-live-tweeting-the-game experience has sort of become a thing. ABC was routinely showing his tweets on the screen. After the game, both ESPN desks—the bootleg one with Kurt Rambis and the real one with Wilbon, Magic et al.—were discussing whether Kobe sh...
Kobe Bryant Is Live-Tweeting The Lakers Game
Thanks to the magic of the internet we can now sit and watch as superstar athletes critique their teams in real time. Kobe is live-tweeting the Lakers-Spurs game that just went to halftime with the Spurs leading 45-37. ...
Quentin Richardson And Tracy McGrady Back In The NBA, For Some Reason
Quentin Richardson and Tracy McGrady today signed deals with the Knicks and Spurs, respectively. Their contracts, which are good through the rest of the season, signal that New York and San Antonio are both determined to take another run at the 2003 NBA title....
DeJuan Blair Owes More Than $53,000 To A San Antonio Jewelry Store
A San Antonio jewelry store says Spurs center DeJuan Blair stopped by eight times during March and April 2010, scooping up more than $53,000 worth of merchandise that were likely all paid for with IOUs marked "yeah, right." Hey, we all do it, you know?...
Boris Diaw Made A Lego Harlem Shake Video, Because Sure, Why Not
The very first release from Diaw's Babac Films is this, a surprisingly hypnotic take on a dying meme....
Russell Westbrook Throws Up A Half-Court Shot That Is Total Nonsense
He was clearly trying to draw a foul here, and although he may have actually succeeded—Gary Neal's hands were right on Westbrook's chest when the shot went up—this shot was ill-advised. You can't really expect the referee to be ready to call a foul on a half-court shot with 18 seconds left on the s...
