Two Shost Podcast Ep.137 - What are the Spurs chances of getting a top pick in the NBA draft after losing the coin toss? On this episode of the Two Shots Podcast, we will be joined by Paul Garcia host of the Spurscast, and Benjamin Bornstein who is a writer for Project Spurs. We will discuss the San Antonio Spurs being approved to play three games away from the AT&T Center and what this means for the team's future here in San Antonio. The Spurs organization looks to expand its brand beyond San Antonio and into Mexico as the city council approved the team to play three games away from the At&t Center for the upcoming 2023-24 season. Paul Garica, Ben Borstein, and I will also talk about Spurs Sports and Entertainment released a timeline for their massive $500 million practice facility that is set to open in August of 2023, with a ribbon cutting ceremony to be held in September. The center will be open to the public in October and the Spurs restaurant that is not expected to open until January 2025. Spurs fans can now rest assured that their team is here to stay in San Antonio and can look forward to having access to a new practice facility. RC Buford, the General Manager of the Spurs, has reassured fans that the team will not be moving to Austin, and has made it clear that the Spurs are committed to its San Antonio home. With the Spurs losing the coin toss to the Houston Rockets the team will now finish with the third-worst record in the NBA but how does this affect the team's chances of landing that number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft? Well, honestly losing the coin toss was not that big of a deal as both the Spurs, Rockets and Pistons all still have a 14% chance of landing that coveted top pick. The worst the Spurs could do is fall to that 7th spot in the NBA Draft but the odds of that happening are 7%. The Spurs have better odds of getting that 5th spot at 14.8% than landing the 1st overall pick by only a few percentage points. We will discuss the team's percentages in more detail on this episode of the Two Shots Podcast. Did you see the latest Spurs merchandise labeled La Cultura that was made available to the fans this week? It's a blend of the culture of the Alamo City with Aqua Frescas and a bit of the Fiesta theme along with a Spurs Coyote Pinata. From T-Shirts to Caps, this limited edition merchandise is always a fan favorite here in San Antonio. We will discuss the pricing for the La Cultura merchandise as T-Shirts start at $39.99 and Caps at $34.99 are these prices too high? In San Antonio, you can go to the Southside or any local Flea Market and buy a bootleg T-Shirt for about $10.00 - $15.00 that will look just as good if not better. We will discuss this and end the show by talking to Paul about his latest episode of the Spurscast as he Collin Reid will be Breaking Down The Team Salary Going Into The Off Season.

Spurscast: The Spurs Through 10 Games In Spurscast episode 674, Spurscast host Paul Garcia and Pounding the Rock writer Bruno Passos discuss: The Spurs through 10 games The Top-10 and Bottom-10 areas for the Spurs on offense and defense The starters and players off the bench The latest in the Josh Primo legal dispute The Spurs' roster at the moment The Spurs through 10 games Through 10 games, the San Antonio Spurs are a .500 ball club with a 5-5 record. After some early impressive wins against Minnesota, Philadelphia, and Chicago, the Spurs are facing a 3-game losing streak against Toronto, the Los Angeles Clippers, and Denver. The Top-10 and Bottom-10 areas for the Spurs on offense and defense The Spurs have more strengths on offense 10 games into the season compared to the defensive end of the floor. The Spurs are Top-10 in pace, assists, floater makes, 3-point shooting, and wide-open 3-point shooting. Turnovers, the Spurs' offense overall, the Spurs' finishing near the rim, and getting to the free-throw line are areas of concern for the team. On defense, one of the bright spots for the team is not putting their opponents on the free-throw line. In terms of concerns, the Spurs have multiple areas they'll have to work on this season including their overall defense, opponents' offensive rebounding percentage, and opponent shooting inside and outside. The starters and players off the bench The Spurs' starters Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, Jakob Poeltl, Tre Jones, and Jeremy Sochan are discussed in the episode, as well as second-unit players Josh Richardson, Zach Collins, Doug McDermott, Malaki Branham, and Keita Bates-Diop. The latest in the Josh Primo legal dispute On Friday, October 28, the Spurs waived guard, Josh Primo. On Thursday, November 03, former Spurs licensed psychologist Dr. Hillary Cauthen, represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, announced a lawsuit against Primo and the San Antonio Spurs for Primo allegedly indecently exposing himself to Dr. Cauthen nine times in private sessions, and the lawsuit against the Spurs is because they allegedly ignored Dr. Cauthen's complaints when she notified Spurs management.
