This franchise is so fucking lucky. It’s one thing to win the lottery three times. It’s entirely another to win it three times and each time there’s a no brainer generational prospect waiting for you.

Oh, and fuck Kawhi Leonard.

Tony's speech was great. He had some good ones in there.

"Finley came to the Spurs to win a championship because that's where you go to win championships."

And Pop's was awesome too. Very heartfelt and when you see a long-tenured, typically gruff guy get emotional...it got a little dusty a couple times.

And then there's Jimmy, visible in the background during Pop's speech, who along with Keith Richards will outlive us all.

Schedule dropped:

Spurs are on national TV 18 times. They were on once last year I believe. I wonder what the difference could be?

Probably going to be a rough start with Dallas, @LAC and @PHX twice in first 5 games. There are some winnable games mixed in there, but it looks like mostly tough sledding through the end of November. My expectations aren't super high to begin with, but I hope they don't get buried in the standings right off the bat. 

I counted 13 back to backs (somebody can check my math) which seems like quite a few in this day and age. I didn't see any 4 games in 5 nights fortunately, but they somehow managed to have a back to back on 2/2 and 2/3 against NO and CLE, and then three days off before another one on 2/7 and 2/8 against Miami and Orlando. Why? Who is scheduling this shit?

I can't believe they put a marquee game vs. Denver in the Moody Center. I guess it really doesn't matter because now all of their games are essentially marquee games, but still. 

Schedule is always a little unbalanced because of the rodeo but it seems excessive to have a 7 game home stand, then the 9 game rodeo trip followed by 2 home games, another 3 game roadie and then an 8 game home stand (granted 2 of those are in Austin). When I had season tickets, it would piss me off to no end how they would stack up the games like that because it was impossible to go down there that much. 

Last game vs Detroit could have some serious ping pong ball implications. Let's hope that game actually means something more than that, though.

I somehow missed this, but the Cam Payne era has sadly come to an end before it ever really got started. The loving memory of his 56 days as a Spur will not soon be forgotten.

He apparently was being a bitch about getting pushed out of Phoenix in their salary dump and wanted to play for a contender. So good for him, I suppose. I thought he could contribute as a stop gap at the point, but alas we will never know. All in all, I think the Spurs netted a second rounder and some cash while getting up to the salary floor for giving up nothing. Solid move by the front office.

What contender wouldn't want his invaluable contributions.....

San Antonio Spurs 2023-2024 Season Thread: We’ll Keep Our Penises In Our Pants This Season

That's too long otherwise I'd fire it up. 

Here are some Wemby pics to hold us over.
