DENVER — On to Minneapolis. That was the Spurs' let's-not-get-too-high mantra after all but clinching a play-in berth with Tuesday's impressive 116-97 win ...

He knows the right plays to make. “A lot of guys participated and played well,” Popovich said. And that was the game plan, Popovich said. He knows how to play. His brother, Memphis point guard Tyus Jones, leads the NBA in that category. He’s been great for us.” Do we do it on the dribble? He knows how run a team. “Tyus has been one of the best turnover-to-assist ratio guys in the league for a couple of years, and Tre is no different,” Richardson said. But they had to help us. "We are just playing every game,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Here? There?’ And he just eats you alive, and everybody else starts to participate in it.”

“There is disappointment — every loss sucks and I hate losing — but I think it is important to attack Memphis as our chance to clinch a playoff spot.” “I think he is tired because the guy leads the league in triple-doubles, double-doubles, PER, I can go on and on,” Malone said. “We got ball players, we got confident shot makers, we got facilitators, we got all types of players who just love the game and have passion for the game. I have to be kind of the captain of the defense. “We are there. Despite all that is working against them, the Nuggets locker room remains confident in their ability to get back to being the best version of themselves. I went back to him around the 9:30 mark tonight and he looked at me like ‘already?'” “I have to be the staple of this defense. “He has been carrying a team for 80 games and I cannot take him out of the game. But we know we have two games left and our focus is on Memphis now.” “I felt like we were quiet out there for tonight on defense. I just do not think we had the requisite focus, determination, urgency, desperation, or whatever adjective you want to use.

If all you watch is the NBA, that’s ok. He is one of the chief reasons why basketball is becoming a global game. While his NBA career, while magnificent, falls short of even Ben Wallace (131.7 points), the Hoops Hall is about basketball as a whole, not just the NBA. Ginobili dominated in Europe and the Olympics and then came to America and kept putting up All-Star numbers. Walton gets the added bonus of being one of the best college athletes ever. - All-Defensive First Team 6.0 The system is outlined below, and I will be the first to admit it is very much flawed. - All-Rookie First Team 3.4 - All-NBA Second Team 5.5 - All-NBA First Team 7.2 I took individual accomplishments and, with the help of a few hundred people filling out a poll, I assigned each accomplishment point values and saw how Hall of Famers ranked. There's no doubt that by now you’ve heard San Antonio Spurs legend Manu Ginobili will headline the Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2022. To a casual NBA fan who only follows big market teams like the 11th-seeded Lakers and Knicks, I actually understand where they might be coming from.

The San Antonio Spurs are heading to the NBA's Play-In Tournament for a second consecutive season after a 116-97 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.

Unless something crazy happens, it looks as though the Spurs will play the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round of the tournament later this month. Last year the Spurs also clinched a play-in spot but lost in the first round against the Memphis Grizzlies. Not only did the Spurs beat the Nuggets, but last night the Los Angeles Lakers also lost to the Suns in Phoenix, allowing the Spurs to lock in the No. 10 spot in the Western Conference and secure a spot in the NBA's Play-In Tournament in the process.

“But you also have to help the guys that are ready and available to play.” “Yes, you have that in the back of your mind. One of the key plays was when Davon Reed tried to make a behind-the-back pass that was stolen by Tre Jones, who went in for a layup. The Nuggets cut it to four early in the fourth, only to see the Spurs go on a 14-2 surge to regain momentum. “Nothing went right for those guys, even to start the game. On the road, though, they’ve won a franchise-best 25 games. “Every team has nights like that and I think this was one of those for the Nuggets,” Popovich said. But it wasn’t easy even after San Antonio built a lead that stretched to 21 late in the second quarter. “It’s a bad loss for us,” said Gordon, who had 18 points and 13 rebounds. Vassell and Richardson were a combined 8 of 11 from 3-point range. “We’ve got a game on Thursday and we’re going to play that,” Popovich said. “I just didn’t think we had the requisite focus, determination, urgency, desperation — whatever adjective you want to use.

If Jaden Ivey is off the board when the San Antonio Spurs make their first draft pick ...

While he is not quite on Ivey’s level, the only things holding him back are his inability to create his own shot and his turnover-prone ball handling. Agbaji is an elite rebounder for his size, and his strength and wingspan indicate that can translate to the next level. Agbaji averaged 19 points in his final season and was easily the best player on the Jayhawks. He only averaged 1.6 assists, but that’s because he really did not have anyone to pass the ball to.
