Looking ahead to the 1st preseason game against CSKA, they have some guys who have played in the NBA.

[Texas_Ranger]

Teodosic yesterday raped the Wolves. He could easily play in the NBA.

[The Reckoning]

lol sonny weems

[Holden_Caulfield]

yeee spurs bball is baaaack:flag:

[racm]

The team should win this but they shouldn't sleepwalk IMO.

CSKA Moscow is one of the top teams in Europe.

[Darkwaters]

In the past when we've played Euro teams in the pre-season we've absolutely torched them. CSKA is a great team in Europe and has legitimate talent, but this is the team that narrowly missed the NBA crown only a few months ago. It shouldn't be a close affair.

Assuming spurs treat it like a playoff or even a regular season game ...

Pop isn't gonna play TP 45 mins, Manu 30 mins, etc...

[look_at_g_shred]

lol sonny weems

[Texas_Ranger]

I kinda think CSKA will win, cause the Spurs will play with like 20% while CSKA will go all out.

[Darkwaters]

Pop isn't gonna play TP 45 mins, Manu 30 mins, etc...

This is an exhibition game for CSKA also remember. I doubt they play their stars huge minutes either. And I have confidence that if our guys buy into the system we should win. All the returning players obviously will - it's the camp bodies that are the unknowns on that end.

[dylankerouac]

Was any channel going to air this locally?

yet CSKA is a different animal than a lot of euro teams spurs met before. I'd say that if CSKA take this game like an official game and Spurs play in preparation mode which is very likey, CSKA has a good chance to upset us.

[Brazil]

Oh and I can see Messina motivated by the idea of playing Manu and Pop

gonna be an intruiging game

[BeakersBro]

Do they have student tickets for preseason games?

The games don't count so the NBA doesn't care. They aren't going to police how a game is broadcasted when the season isn't even officially open for business. I am almost positive that posting preseason game streams has been allowed in the past for this reason.

It's not televised in the states is probably the thing. If it was televised and they had paying sponsors for said telecast then I would imagine they would care a lot.

There is other pre-season games from other teams posted on u-tube. They are not full
streamed games just highlights. The one I linked was from user NBA 2K 14 Official. I would
guess if the NBA cares or u-tube cares it would be pulled down right away. I would not
tape one and load it up to the thread.

Interesting that Pop went with Splitter there. I guess he's trying to get him more involved with the offense, but I am curious to see who's the fourth big right now.

Manu and Belli playing well... as expected Belli plays the SF position... interesting big rotation so far

[benefactor]

Splitter not finishing around the rim is irritating but he more than makes up for it for his defense and passing. That feed on the cut to Diaw was sick.

[Chinook]

The offense is just completely different when Diaw is aggressive. When he sets a pick now, teams know they have to rotate fast because he's going to shoot if open. And as he showed, his court vision hasn't gone away at all.
