It worked out fine last time, so let'd do it again...

For a perfect record, Go Summer Spurs Go!

[K...]

Utah didn't have a first round pick so the team is gleague and, their second rounder. Better than Memphis at least, but Spurs should roll

[Texas_Ranger]

i hope Luka has a big game.

[Russ]

Back-to-back-to-back. Some guys are gonna sit . . .

Wonder if Metu is well enough for this one yet..

[TDomination]

excited to see walker back at it!

Bradley has looked good for them. He was a first rounder in a previous draft.

I think they ruled him out for the whole Utah league.

[Strategic]

Hoping it’s on Wednesday so I can watch

Today is Wednesday, and it's on the listed channels.

[Chinook]

Bradley has looked good for them. He was a first rounder in a previous draft.

Two drafts ago. It was rumored the Spurs wanted him over White, so the Jazz traded up to get him. Glad they did obviously, but I've wondered if we'll ever see anything from Brad to warrant PATFO's supposed interest.

[rjv]

i hope Luka has a big game.

i wouldn't be shocked if he and johnson sit tonight.

[widowmaker]

Do yall think there will be a stream on reddit?

[Pavlov]

First two games have shown up on at least one of the replay sites.

[Blackhaus]

I see Luka and Johnson def sitting, possibly Lonnie too. That would leave Weatherspon to put up 50

[slick'81]

Give my boy luka a breather

[exstatic]

Lonnie already sat out game 2, but Luka and KJ played the first two games, they will probably sit.

[Degoat]

I think Lonnie plays tonight he had a pull on his Instagram asking fans to vote for which basketball shoes he should wear

[ace3g]

Hopefully more of this tonight.

Can’t watch the game but interested in how Bennett does and is he a true SF or another PF trying to become a SF?

[DAF86]

Don't you dare losing you sons of bitches.

[Degoat]

It’s pretty lame they’re resting the rookies, I can understand Lonnie resting but come on lol

[Ocotillo]

No rest for Magette......:tongue

[raybies]

i just want to know if the legend is playing...

[JR3]

In the building. Hoping Lonnie kills it tonight.

[tonight...you]

Today is wednesday bro...
Quit fucking with me.
This is some Keanu Reeves shit.

[raybies]

shoot ben wth

[raybies]

why is drew doing a running hook from the ft line... cmonbruh

[DC23]

Very sloppy early on

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I don’t see any defensive potential in Walker

[MoSpur02]

Walker and Eubanks really need to improve on defense. Eubanks sucks.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Brown (SMU coach) used to compare Ben Moore to Derrick McKey, who played 15 years as a defensive stopper, playing under Brown for portions of his career. "All Derrick McKey cared about was winning, defending, and making people better," Brown said. "That’s Ben Moore."

For some reason, I thought Moore was 6'5" and a natural G. He's 6'7" without shoes, which is solidly in the SF range these days. And he's got a 6'11" wingspan. He shot .377 from 3P in Austin last year, and he gets to the FT line a lot. Maybe TIMVP is right, and he has no chance at making it into the NBA, but I'm still hoping he's got a shot at making a roster.


SL is just about observing, but I'm pulling for him to play well tonight.

[NASpurs]

It's the regular season all over again. Getting PTSD like when the bench comes in.

[r0drig0lac]

damn

[DC23]

Looks like it's going to be a long night

[K...]

Well it is the home team

[raybies]

dam... we getting smoked right now

[ZeusWillJudge]

Cue the cliff jumping. :lol

These guys were the future of our franchise last night. Now they're gonna be bums.

[raybies]

MVPKeldon isn't here so this is expected...

[FkLA]

Put Lonnie in, man. I don't tune into SL to watch guys that have zero shot of playing in San Antonio.

[raybies]

dam that layup was :wow

[raybies]

why does TRob have to reach every single time...

[DAF86]

Damn, these sons of bitches!

[FkLA]

Why isn't the coach force feeding Lonnie? Dude's been relegated to being a spot-up shooter.

[Dhbsr555]

Maybe walker really isn’t ready

[Chomag]

Walker still looking very raw is kind of concering

[Degoat]

Walker sucks.... lol jk he’ll figure things out

[Degoat]

I think walker probably plays better off ball

[raybies]

First game Walker didn't look good either but then figured it out by the end.. got to see

[slick'81]

Utah gonna beat our asses

[Chomag]

Yeah I'm not sure he should be used as a point guard, needs to be fed off to the ball

[slick'81]

Yeah I'm not sure he should be used as a point guard, needs to be fed off to the ball


He doesnt have the handles to run point

[FkLA]

Run plays for him. Maybe he isn't ready but you can't base it off this. On the rare occasion when he isn't standing around spotting up, he's just iso'ing.

[raybies]

Yeah I'm not sure he should be used as a point guard, needs to be fed off to the ball
Yeah he's definitely not a combo guard.. he's more of a pure shooting guard.

[raybies]

weatherbee has looked like a late 2nd today

[r0drig0lac]

michael jordan barnett in both sides

[tonight...you]

I think they're putting Lonnie in different situations to see where he is most comfortable at this point and to challenge him to get out of his comfort zone.
Or maybe I'm full of shit...

[Russ]

Some career advice: Don't aspire to be Lonnie Walker IV's agent. :)

[Dejounte]

I think they're putting Lonnie in different situations to see where he is most comfortable at this point and to challenge him to get out of his comfort zone.
Or maybe I'm full of shit...

Bingo

[Dhbsr555]

Finally walker

[Cryptic Parable]

Making a habit of coming back from behind

[raybies]

i think i'm biased of TRob at this point cause i would love to see him make it... what are y'alls thoughts concerning TRob's play and Eubanks?

[slick'81]

Either will be ok as an emergency backupC

[Russ]

Spoon is cold-blooded . . .

[playblair]

starting to see a trend..........u notuce how much better keldon/wheterspoon play when walker isnt on the court stealing all the shots.............

[Degoat]

Lonnie has been really bad tonight, just looks out of it. It’s okay to have a bad game but he’ll need to respond next game

[r0drig0lac]

Walker in the zone

[raybies]

Lonnie figured it out again

[Russ]

Go for it, Lonnie!

Prove all the haters wrong (like me).

[slick'81]

SpoonMAN looking aight

[Degoat]

Damnnnnit Lonnie

[r0drig0lac]

Kobe mode on

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lonnie going T-Mac on the Jazz.

[Russ]

Lonnie Walker needs to go to the Dejounte Murray school of how to lower your dribble . . .

[Ditty]

Lonnie is the most pure talented guy on the floor and it’s not even close.

[ulosturedge]

I think Lonnie knows no one can keep up with him, but then it causes him to get tunnel vision and force shots. He needs to pick and choose his battles better. He has quite redeemed himself in the 4th quarter though.

[raybies]

what the hell was that Lonnie

[slick'81]

17/4 for lW4

[Degoat]

Damnnnnit Lonnie

[slick'81]

13/3/2/1 for spoon man

[r0drig0lac]

lmao ledbetter

[Chomag]

Walker has allot of talent but he really doesn't have a commanding presence yet, maybe that will come to him but that's very hard to teach

[BackHome]

Lonnie still the man when we drafted him we new it would take 2 years to get him NBA ready same thing with Luka both will be studs in 2 or 3 years.

[Degoat]

Lonnie has some young ginobili in him, he does some great and some bad lol thing Ive been most disappointed in is his Def

[palangi]

Can we not bring maggette to Vegas. Worthless

[paperboy77]

Lonnie going T-Mac on the Jazz.

Almost

[BackHome]

Can we not bring maggette to Vegas. Worthless


I have no clue why he is even playing you really need a decent PG to get a good idea of how other players play. If your PG sucks no one is really going to look good

[tmtcsc]

Lonnie has some young in him, he does some great and some bad lol thing Ive been most disappointed in is his Def

FIFY. Please keep Ginobili out of your comparisons to Lonnie Walker. At this pace, he won't be a consistent contributor on the team for another year or two.

[MoSpur02]

Can we not bring maggette to Vegas. Worthless

I think Galen Robinson Jr will be playing PG in Vegas.

[TheGreatYacht]

More Thomas Robinson less Ben Moore, please.

[slick'81]

Lonnie has some young ginobili in him, he does some great and some bad lol thing Ive been most disappointed in is his Def


Ginobili:rollin

[GAustex]

Lonnie has some young ginobili in him, he does some great and some bad lol thing Ive been most disappointed in is his Def
Very little
Maybe getting the ball stole
LWIV has a long way to go before in the same sentence w/ MG

[cutewizard]

Manu is a god/ascendant

[JeffDuncan]

Lonnie has some young ginobili in him, he does some great and some bad lol thing Ive been most disappointed in is his Def

Lonnie doesn't throw the ball into the stands enough to be compared to Manu. [/ blue font ]

[picnroll]

Good interview of Thomas Robinson, where he’s been, what he’s trying to accomplish by Jabari Young in The Athletic.

[Harry Callahan]

LW needs a lot of seasoning still, but he's got some tools to work with. I don't think he was confident in his movement at all last year with his leg.

[Mr. Body]

Lonnie has so much more to do. Looks like he's ready to do it, but he's not a contributor this year. A guy like Forbes doesn't have his athleticism but understands the game so much more.
