Happy here in Texas
It was when I was parking at my San Antonio hotel that I noticed the boot. I'm not from Texas, I don't know if this is how they determine dibs on parking spots here. I backed out and parked in the spot next to the boot.
Bring the Spurs back to life
That wasn't a steal. We've seen steals. Tyrese Haliburton's time-stamper in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals wasn't a steal, either, but it was far closer to a steal than the purchase made by the Knicks on Wednesday night. Receipt asked

NEW YORK KNICKS C: Karl-Anthony Towns – not particularly explosive against the Spurs this season but also
Spurs hit Finals, Thunder to return
San Antonio 111, Oklahoma City 103 Spurs win Western finals There are only five intelligible lyrics in the AC/DC classic "Thunderstruck." One is the title of the song, which admittedly listeners mostly glean from context clues. Two others are "you've been," as in,
Spurs living right ahead of Game 7
San Antonio 118, Oklahoma City 91 Western finals tied, 3-3 Six games in, and I'm convinced that the reason neither of these groups compete on the road is that they are scared of the other team and do not think they have a chance to beat them. What,
The East fails to stop New York
It was supposed to be wide open. That's my problem, it ain't simply the Knicks, the hated Knicks, but that this Eastern field was a superior drag. The one-sided nature of all this. That and the stupid Knicks. And this isn't another column about
Spurs gain experience, lose Game 5
Oklahoma City 127, San Antonio 114 Thunder lead series, 3-2 Experience isn't a prerequisite for screaming success, but it helps to understand what job you're scheduled for. The Spurs thought they had an idea of what Game 5 would feel like and it turns out the
New York cracks a smile
It's a good feeling, 3-0. Basically a guarantee, promising the win. No NBA team will ever return from 0-3 based upon merit alone.
Spurs collar Game 4, tie series
San Antonio Spurs 103, Oklahoma City 82 Western finals tied, 2-2 The Thunder will play Oklahoma City's 200th combined game of the 2024-25/2025-26 seasons on Tuesday night. The Spurs look like they're good for about 200 games on Tuesday, total, if you'll let
Spurs this, but Thunder that
Oklahoma City 123, San Antonio 108 Thunder lead series, 2-1 The Spurs are battered, sidelined, hamstrung, but flustered more than anything, especially after that Game 3 fulmination from the Oklahoma City Fulminations. The Spurs are flippin' fulminatin' all over their insides right now, the sort of lightning strikes
Knicks take two, take off to Ohio
New York 109, Cleveland 93 Knicks lead Eastern finals, 2-0 This time wasn't embarrassing. The Cavaliers showed spark at the outset, competed throughout, gave us a strong Game 2 until the final garbage minutes. We don't trust the Cavs and watch them without expecting anything, and
Thunder back to Thunder stuff
Oklahoma City 122, San Antonio 113 Western finals tied, 1-1 So now we've realized Victor Wembanyama represents our bold future. A real-life Sidd Finch set to slam NBA opponents out of championship contention, swat front offices away from starting five-year Finals plans. Even if Year One launches in
