Open Thread: It’s Manu Ginobili Bobblehead Night
The fourth installment of the Spurs River Barge collection After tonight, it comes down to Tony Parker. Have you been attending the games this season? And do you have your collectible San Antonio Spurs bobbleheads? For those of us braving the weather tonight, it is Manu’s turn. “El Corazon” is aptly named for his playing style. He may not have been the highest scoring member of the Spurs, and he is the only member of the Big Three not to be named NBA Finals MVP (he was one vote shy of making it in 2005), but his heart endeared him to fans of the San Antonio as well as...

The Spurs are slowly finding their supporting cast
Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs still need a star, but they have been slowly finding some interesting complementary pieces. With over half of the season over, what’s your impression of the two rookies who have played, Sochan and Branham? Marilyn Dubinski: Sochan is my favorite rookie the Spurs have had in while, and not just because we’re actually getting to see him play. It feels like the first time in forever that the Spurs actually drafted at a position of need, and even if his game still needs some work, watching him look completely comfortable as an...

Keldon Johnson continued to show off his driving ability against the Wizards
Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports A for effort, and MD for more defense The Spurs did their best to keep up with the Wizards, but they did not have enough to overcome the visitors on Monday night.

Zach Collins came off the bench and notched a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

What We Learned from the Spurs loss to the Wizards
Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs stay on course The Spurs have settled into a nice little groove here as we all coast into the All-Star Break. The defense can’t stop anyone, the offense can’t score enough points, and the wins are few and far between. Nobody seems too down, and yet, nobody seems too fired up about anything either. Everyone seems to be deep inside their mind, concentrating on some far-away happy place in order to numb themselves to the pain of the present. Like I said, we’re in a groove! It’s not as dramatic as all that. I don’t actually...
