On the night April 13, 1983, Tim Derk uncovered his superpower. That was the day the Spurs’ Coyote was born. “I thought it was going to be a goofy little side gig. It ended up being my job for the next 21 years." bit.ly/3VqhF6c

I assume Arch isn't always going to be bad. But right now, Arch is bad. There's just no spinning it.

I would call the UT offense a tire fire but that would be an insult to both tires and fires

After the gigantic pro basketball players left and the shrieking kids filed out of the little gym, I asked the school principal a dumb question. Her answer spoke to the nature of devastation, and healing, and why a visit from the Spurs mattered. Gift link: www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

"We just wanted to give them something to smile about." The bulk of the Spurs' roster -- including superstar Victor Wembanyama -- went to Ingram to raise spirits in a region still reeling from the July 4 floods. The club promises it won't be the last visit. www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

Small item to report from the Spurs' trip to the Hill Country today: Dylan Harper was in attendance less than a week after undergoing surgery on his left thumb. He didn't do much, but I did witness him take a couple of shots with his right (non shooting) hand just for funsies.

Well that was an interesting start to the NFL season

For you sickos still following the Summer Spurs: Carter Bryant, Riley Minix and Nate Mensah are inactive today. Joining Dylan Harper, who had been previously shut down from Summer League action.

If you're asking who starts Game 1, I think there are four players locked in: Fox, Vassell, Barnes and Wemby. I think Castle is pretty close to a lock as the fifth starter. I'm not sure Harper starts Game 1 as a rookie. But maybe? Things can change as the season progresses, though

My most old man of old man opinions: There should be no challenges in Summer League.

Flagg will get his eventually, but advantage Bryant so far

Going to take a gander at Dylan Harper's debut, for sure. Also going to be super interesting to see how Carter Bryant guards Cooper Flagg
