The Boston Celtics have always loved playing at TD Garden, and for good reason. The raucous home crowd has propelled them for decades. In the Celtics’ long history, they’re a stellar 1,987-861 at home, per StatMuse. However, home-court advantage didn’t really exist for Boston last season. The Celtics went a disappointing 5-6 at home during […]

The NBA has gotten slowly more international. A lot of the top talents in the league don’t just come from America anymore and it is for good reason. Talented legends paved the way for them to thrive and created the blueprint. Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio Spurs were also a team that believed in international stars. […]

While Tre Jones welcomes the chance to start at point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, it doesn’t consume him. In fact, ask Jones if he sees this as an opportunity to solidify his role as the team’s starting PG and the answer isn’t any kind of a clarification. ClutchPoints would know. “Every game I […]

When Doug McDermott hit five of six three-pointers to help the San Antonio Spurs to their first win of 2024 and only their sixth of the season, it was impressive enough. More impressively, though, in that January 10th victory at Detroit, is that the 10-year veteran hadn’t played a minute in the team’s previous two […]

This current iteration of the Atlanta Hawks appears to have run its course. Even after their 109-99 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, they remain seven games below .500 and well out of the top-six picture in the Eastern Conference. Thus, in recent weeks, trade rumors have swirled around the Hawks franchise, […]

The thought of Victor Wembanyama in the G League seems ridiculous. To everyone but Wembanyama. The San Antonio Spurs superstar rookie said as much following his team’s 109-99 loss vs. the Atlanta Hawks on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. “I like to be coached. I like to be threatened to be sent to the G […]

Gregg Popovich is known on the court for his no-nonsense approach to the game of basketball. But he’s earned a reputation off-the-court over the past few years as a sociopolitical voice, speaking his thoughts on the events of the day and the issues he believes are affecting America today. His comments this Martin Luther King […]

It’s not yet known whether Victor Wembanyama will play in this year’s NBA All-Star Game, but the San Antonio Spurs star rookie will be on the court for All-Star Saturday.

When Victor Wembanyama was first drafted by the San Antonio Spurs with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the plan was always for him to play power forward. It’s the probably the position best suited to his game and for the most part that held true once the season began. But […]

Several factors can be traced to the San Antonio Spurs’ best stretch of what’s been a very tough season. Since the last couple of games of 2023, Victor Wembanyama has been playing the best basketball of his very young NBA career. Since the second game of 2024, Tre Jones has reclaimed the role he had […]

There are a handful of days on the NBA calendar that mean a little bit more than normal. NBA games on Martin Luther King Jr. Day fit that description. The NBA has had a tradition of playing games on the holiday since it was first observed in 1986. In fact, the NBA has had games […]

Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs went 5-27 through the 2023 portion of the 2023-24 season. They’ve gone 2-4 at the turn of the new year.

Though English is not first language, San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama wants everyone to know he means exactly what he says – especially when it comes to his game. “I did mean that literally. I’m not talking for nothing,” Wemby said Friday about a comment he made to ClutchPoints last week. The backstory Two […]

The San Antonio Spurs’ point guard situation got a bit of stability in recent days after Gregg Popovich finally brought Tre Jones back into the starting lineup. Before then, the Spurs relied on Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell, and even Keldon Johnson to assume playmaking duties. The results haven’t exactly been pretty. In fact, it has […]

The new year has marked a new beginning of sorts for the San Antonio Spurs. That Victor Wembanyama is on a tear is the driving factor but there are several reasons as to why the Silver and Black are playing their best ball of the season. “We’ve just been playing better. It feels like, to […]

The Atlanta Hawks aimed to be one of the top six teams in the Eastern Conference this season. After all, they were able to finish the 2023 playoffs strong with new head coach Quin Snyder’s arrival. Alas, Trae Young and company have failed to make the requisite jump. In fact, they have fallen off the […]

Will the San Antonio Spurs acquire Dejounte Murray from the Atlanta Hawks? The Spurs are reportedly interested in a reunion, but Murray may not have mutual interest. “(Shams) Charania noted that Murray is under contract, so the Spurs have the leverage. However, there are indications Murray doesn’t have significant interest in returning to the Spurs,” […]

The Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs engaged in a battle of two of the worst teams in the association on Wednesday night. Both teams have struggled for most of the 2023-24 season, but there is one key difference between the two teams as they embrace their respective rebuilding processes head-on: one team has Victor […]

A first for San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama ended as he came in second place elsewhere.

The San Antonio Spurs handily took care of business against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, and it’s thanks in large part to the elite play of prized rookie Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama, despite being just 20 years of age, looked like a man amongst boys. He was a towering two-way force who also flexed his […]

It took some time for the modern NBA center to get back into the picture. The league was guard-heavy and wing-centric since the 2010s and the big men often did not get a lot of love because of the three-point revolution. Now, they have a benchmark with the likes of Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic. […]

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama can do it all on the court. With his absurd blend of size, length, athleticism, and court awareness, it’s not hard to imagine him pulling off just about any kind of play. Take for example this exceptional, Tom Brady-esque touchdown pass to Jeremy Sochan early in Wednesday night’s game […]

The NBA returns to Paris in 2024 for one regular season game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets.

The San Antonio Spurs are not playoff contenders in 2023-24. They hold a 5-30 record as of this story’s writing and will not be favored to acquire many stars via trade ahead of the deadline.

A personal […]

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama had the ball feet from the basket with just 13 seconds left in the game. His team was down two to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
