Game Thread: Spurs vs Magic — Oct. 20, 2021 - 7:30pm CT

[spurraider21]

Thaddeus Carroll tbh

[Chomag]

Game has been very entertaining thus , only time that it wasn't was when Forbes was in chucking..

[Ron Swanson]

Forbes stinking up the joint.

[HankChinaski]

that is a rather thick dancer in the half time show.

[slick'81]

Thaddeus Carroll tbh


sours wanted lauri but got carroled lol

[cjw]

Eubanks is killing the team. Can’t wait for either Landale or Collins to replace his ass. He’s like a deer in headlights.

He’s fine as a third big, but don’t like him in extended minutes. Those butterfinger moments are so frustrating.

[RC_Drunkford]

Nice first half. Lonnie looks a lot better on defense. I like him handling the ball coming off the bench, that role as a 6th man should really help him at developing.

Keldon has definitely worked on his midrange this offseason.

Vassell is already finding his spots to score more.

Murray needs to get used to teams game planning against him. He‘s playing a little too out of control right now.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Hopefully Spurs come out with a lot of energy and avoid the dreaded TURD quarter jinx

[raybies]

Lamelo actually the real deal... dam

[Mr. Body]

Man, if this team could shoot...

As I thought, if this team gets running down hill on a team, they can be a handful.

[Mr. Body]

Interesting that ORL coach went big there at the end.

[raybies]

their win in that trade is eternal

they rang

I guess man, we rang with our trade of Hill for Kawhi... I mean... it is what it is. Karma I guess. sharing the wealth I guess... Toronto a lottery team, clips have to go a year without him... i mean in the grand scheme of things we may look back like we dodged a bullet... we'll see.

[Gibbz]

Is Thad Young a healthy DNP?

[playbonner15]

Hopefully Spurs come out with a lot of energy and avoid the dreaded TURD quarter jinx
It's coming lol

[HankChinaski]

Drew is playing hard but he has dropped a couple of good passes that would have gotten him an easy lookin shot. Dejounte had a good drive but he shot it on the side of the shot blocker instead of the open right side of the hoop. Great move to beat his man just poor awareness of where to shoot it.

That is why I didn't like the drive. Good penetration but poor awareness.

Eubanks has been thrown passes with bad angles or rushed. The fast break was high, Murray had another where he had the right idea but put too much sauce on it, Lonnie needed to step back and reset instead of dumping into Eubanks.

I agree he doesn't have the best hands but he wasn't given the best outlet with those passes.

[slick'81]

I love puppies-poodle power

[james evans]

I'm enjoying this game a lot.

Also, Defrozen shot 8-17 tonight. Chicago is gonna regret that signing lol

[slick'81]

Is Thad Young a healthy DNP?

nobody cares,tbh

[spurraider21]

I guess man, we rang with our trade of Hill for Kawhi... I mean... it is what it is. Karma I guess. sharing the wealth I guess... Toronto a lottery team, clips have to go a year without him... i mean in the grand scheme of things we may look back like we dodged a bullet... we'll see.
the Hill-Kawhi trade was obviously a massive win for us :lol

but the raptors traded derozan poodle and a pick for kawhi and they got a ring out of it. so far the spurs just have a few frustrating seasons out of it and keldon johnson who may or may not be a starter on a good team

[playbonner15]

Man, if this team could shoot...

As I thought, if this team gets running down hill on a team, they can be a handful.

they fast and young.. if the team becomes fearless and hungry, they could upset the higher seeded teams

[MannyIsGod]

I think everyone outside of Forbes has been good.

[raybies]

I'm enjoying this game a lot.

Also, Defrozen shot 8-17 tonight. Chicago is gonna regret that signing lol
low key snooping around that one LUL may even enter some Bulls forums at some point... :lol

He yo problm now bruh... just wait till the playoffs :lol

[Adam Lambert]

Looking forward to actually paying attention to this team again.

[Mr. Body]

I'm enjoying this game a lot.

Also, Defrozen shot 8-17 tonight. Chicago is gonna regret that signing lol

Sorry, what? You're bitching that a guard shot almost 50%??

[heyheymymy]

Is Thad Young a healthy DNP?

Seriously is the plan to bench him till the deadline and hope some contender doesn't know he sucks? Just play him unless you have an active trade discussion ongoing

[slick'81]

Nice finish white

[raybies]

the Hill-Kawhi trade was obviously a massive win for us :lol

but the raptors traded derozan poodle and a pick for kawhi and they got a ring out of it. so far the spurs just have a few frustrating seasons out of it and keldon johnson who may or may not be a starter on a good team


Same thing man. it is what is. We'll see. How many years does Kawhi have left... i mean we fleeced Indiana and then we got fleeced. All things considered it may prove to be a fair shake.

[ShinerBlack]

Forbes had the greatest stat line for anyone that has played at least 6 minutes in a game. Bringing him back is already paying dividends.

[slick'81]

Cole anthony is what 5'6

[raybies]

Bruh this team is air to my big fat nostrils...

https://media.giphy.com/media/8QRbtgDmOC398QBBBM/giphy.gif

[HankChinaski]

That was a awfully soft whistle call to make there.

[james evans]

Sorry, what? You're bitching that a guard shot almost 50%??
not that, that he took 17 shot with a team full of guys that can get their own shot and he shot around 47%. He's not getting doubled in chicago . chicago's team is nice. A lot of shooters. So he's able to play 1 on 1 the whole season.

[Mr. Body]

This is one of the shittiest takes I've seen in a while. Congrats.

[raybies]

Spurs D there was very impressive... can't deny Bamba's elite genes

[slick'81]

Lol primo behind they bench while forbes bricks it up

[DAF86]

Finish this off now. I want some extended Cousin's time.

[raybies]

DJ is obviously gassed. He gonna have to get used to the "man" minutes.

[Rocalcio]

What a pass from Poeltl !

[DAF86]

Lol primo behind they bench while forbes bricks it up

Primo isn't suit up?

[HankChinaski]

Very nice hesitation by Poeltl there to dump it off to KJ.

[raybies]

Poetl passing is very good. We didn't get to see much of that with all the sours...

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Poor defense by Orlando.

how do they worry about the threat of Jakob posting up against a player with similar size? Lol.

[ShinerBlack]

Could be as dangerous as the 07 GSW tbh. Lots of talent that, with the right matchup, can do real damage in the playoffs. Just gotta get there

[Mr. Body]

What a pass from Poeltl !

Serious.

[slick'81]

Wake up sours

[RC_Drunkford]

There’s no reason to play Eubanks over Thad Young. Young is actually very effective as a small ball 5

[slick'81]

Eat that glass jakob

[poopbox]

Refs just won't let Bamba play like a big :lol

[Seventyniner]

I guess man, we rang with our trade of Hill for Kawhi... I mean... it is what it is. Karma I guess. sharing the wealth I guess... Toronto a lottery team, clips have to go a year without him... i mean in the grand scheme of things we may look back like we dodged a bullet... we'll see.

Imagine how good the trade would look for the Spurs in retrospect had Number Two's four-bouncer missed and the Raps lost in round 2. Or if a healthy Warriors team had trounced them in the Finals.

The trade went as well as it possibly could have for the Raps and they still suck now. I know they don't regret it, I'm just saying it was still a razor's edge as to how it turned out.

[slick'81]

pop disagrees. Dude needs to get moved asap

[james evans]

This is one of the shittiest takes I've seen in a while. Congrats.
so you're implying Defrozen is a great player that's gonna do well this season? Ok, I'll be sure to holla at you during the playoffs when he pulls his David Blaine act, because we all know it's coming.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Offense is looking pretty shitty right now. They need to get back to ball and player movement to try and get some easier looks.

[raybies]

slow third...

[raybies]

great take by Murray there to stop the bleeding...

[slick'81]

so you're implying Defrozen is a great player that's gonna do well this season? Ok, I'll be sure to holla at you during the playoffs when he pulls his David Blaine act, because we all know it's coming.

fck derozan and mills and lma and everyone who isnt a sour,tbh

[HankChinaski]

Demar will be fine, MORE IMPORTANTLY HE ISN'T WEARING SILVER and BLACK who gives a shit.

[slick'81]

Spurs playing same music since like what 2010?!

[Rocalcio]

Poeltl turning into Magic Johnson

[HankChinaski]

Nice play by Yak and Murray and another with Yak and McDerms

[raybies]

Wendall Carter got a nice game

[HankChinaski]

Really good overall defense by McDerms on that possession.

[raybies]

Dj just doesn't have the legs... He's got to get his conditioning up.

[Chinook]

not that, that he took 17 shot with a team full of guys that can get their own shot and he shot around 47%. He's not getting doubled in chicago . chicago's team is nice. A lot of shooters. So he's able to play 1 on 1 the whole season.

DeRozan only had two assists and two turnovers. I would guess that he probably took a lot of set shots to try to fit in with the other guys, and that's not his game. He's a play-maker and should have the ball in his hands most of the time he's on the court. The whole team shot 43 percent with an eFG% of 47. The Bulls need to implement a better offense, since Ball and DeRozan for sure are an awkward fit.

[HankChinaski]

Mo Wagner was all over White on that possesion.

[Gibbz]

So the few who said McDermott was just adding an additional Forbes were fucking wrong, huh? Dude can actually put the ball on the floor. He's gonna eat in his purely scoring role here.

[slick'81]

Manu

[HankChinaski]

Man POP tearing into the spurs in that time out. Now I know why we spent a good 10 seconds looking at the Magic huddle.

[slick'81]

Lets go derrick

[slick'81]

Ewwbanks neighborhood

[HankChinaski]

Nice smooth 3 ball by white there. Executed nice.

[HankChinaski]

Nice block Eubanks!

[slick'81]

White enfuego

[slick'81]

Nice pass Derrick

[HankChinaski]

Shit that was up there for WHITE!

[Spurminator]

Nice shot there by Rasho Lopez. :lol

[DAF86]

White take over.

[slick'81]

Beautiful off ball devin

[HankChinaski]

Nice 3 ball Vassell

Lets Go devin!!!

[Uriel]

I love this team :lol

[HankChinaski]

I am really getting annoyed with Lonnie taking the path of least contact with all of his drives.

[slick'81]

Fxk em poodle.. fck em hard

[slick'81]

Sours by 21

[Seventyniner]

Didn't think I'd have this much fun watching this team this early in the season. The guys are fired up.

[MannyIsGod]

I know Orlando is bad but man this is fun

[slick'81]

Eat it orlando

[Uriel]

It's Luka time for the 4th quarter.

Oh wait.

[HankChinaski]

Yak is dominating on with the offensive glass tonight and those putbacks.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Great defensive unit out there right now!!!!


so much energy and aggressiveness!!

[slick'81]

Gg sours by23 after 3

[lefty20]

Damn!

[pRoshi]

We havent seen this kind of hustle and effort from the whole team in awhile!

[Uriel]

:cry

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Run these fools outta San Antonio!!!!!!!!!

[HankChinaski]

buzzer beater 3 by Vassell!

[slick'81]

Called it!!!

[DAF86]

Vassell is a starter in this league, tbh.

[Rocalcio]

Wow, Vassell is good

[Uriel]

This team is so fun to watch.

[Degoat]

We Dem Spurs!!!

[slick'81]

Gg guys gg

[PhantomDashCam]

Been stretches tonight where KJ, DW, Poeltl, DJ and Vassell have taken turns being the best player on the court. Freakin’ awesome!

[cjw]

How are the Magic this bad despite so many damn lottery picks?

[spurraider21]

vassell looks so much better than he did even against summer league competition

then again, orlando is pretty bad :lol

[raybies]

go spurs go. make us proud this year guys.

https://media.giphy.com/media/NEvPzZ8bd1V4Y/giphy.gif

[slick'81]

Unleash the young guys and gtfo outta the way

[heyheymymy]

ABSALUTAMENTE

ASQUEROSO

[pRoshi]

Vassell can play the manu role honestly, but he is certainly a starter in this league.

[tim_duncan_fan]

There is something to the thought about the Magic not being a good team, but you gotta remember that we didn't beat bad teams convincingly either the last couple years :rollin

[HankChinaski]

San Antonio Kiss Cam is always a tough thing to sit through.

[slick'81]

Primo over brick forbes and im ex static

[slick'81]

Run run run run

[itzsoweezee]

Oh my god, how are we going to survive without Demar derozan pounding the shit out of the ball and throwing up some trash midrange shot

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Jakob is the MVP of this game in my opinion. Dude is cleaning the boards, covering for the aggressive point of contact defense, finishing well, and making great passes for assist.

dude has been great

[Chomag]

With Forbes glued to the bench, and no Dfrozen and LMA , this team is pretty damn fun to watch TBH.

[slick'81]

Sours by 25

[daslicer]

I'm enjoying the athleticism that has been on display on both ends for the Spurs.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Took 2 years but we finally get to the see the Bubble Team

[RC_Drunkford]

Gotta love the energy of the youngins

[Chomag]

This what we have always wanted from Jakob since getting him

[Biggems]

I know it is just Orlando and they are missing half their team, but the Spurs are ballin out there. I love how they are sharing the ball, playing hard, hustling, going after all the loose balls, and absolutely rooting each other on. I am seeing no egos out there. I love it. They are fun as hell to watch. Now, I know the games will definitely get tougher. Hopefully they can keep up this brotherhood even during the tough stretches.

[slick'81]

That blonde ref is beautiful

[Mr. Body]

How are the Magic this bad despite so many damn lottery picks?

They're missing several players, but those players aren't exactly the greatest.

[slick'81]

Now just dump thaddeus carrol and we golden

[poopbox]

Why did pop not challenge that ?

[Uriel]

Bring in Landale.

[Mr. Body]

The Spurs are playing at like twice the pace of last year. It's legit hard for Orlando to keep up with the movement.

[spurraider21]

Oh my god, how are we going to survive without Demar derozan pounding the shit out of the ball and throwing up some trash midrange shot
:lol

[DAF86]

Vassell can play the manu role honestly, but he is certainly a starter in this league.

Vassell has a 3 and D prototype. Those players are starters, tbh. I think his shooting fits a lot better in the SL. Keldon's drives fit better with the shooting of Forbes and Walker off the bench, imho.

[raybies]

ball don't lie bitch

[slick'81]

Bring in Landale. is he still brain damaged

[NASpurs]

Dang that defense though

[Chomag]

Took 2 years but we finally get to the see the Bubble TeamThis! The bubble team is finaly back! Lets just hope pop doesn't try to get cute and throw his pet Forbes in to muck it back up.

[HankChinaski]

Had all day with that one

[slick'81]

Lol defrozen

[Rocalcio]

Vassell best scorer of the team, I like that.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

How are the Magic this bad despite so many damn lottery picks?

to be fair to them they are missing a lot of players but they haven’t had much luck in the draft.

John Isaac has looked pretty good when he isn’t hurt but the guy can’t stay healthy.

[Uriel]

Remember the meltdown when we picked Vassell in the draft? :lol

[raybies]

Vassell has a 3 and D prototype. Those players are starters, tbh. I think his shooting fits a lot better in the SL. Keldon's drives fit better with the shooting of Forbes and Walker off the bench, imho.

His floor is one of the best 3 and d's in the game but his ceiling.. I really have no idea. It's so mysterious. He's been very impressive.

[PhantomDashCam]

Jakob is the MVP of this game in my opinion. Dude is cleaning the boards, covering for the aggressive point of contact defense, finishing well, and making great passes for assist.

dude has been great

IMHO, most indispensable player on the team.

[slick'81]

Remember the meltdown when we picked Vassell in the draft? :lol


nope

[offset formation]

Same thing man. it is what is. We'll see. How many years does Kawhi have left... i mean we fleeced Indiana and then we got fleeced. All things considered it may prove to be a fair shake.

but we got fleeced at gun point

[slick'81]

Vassel's a bad man

[kjhip1]

Team energy, defense is contagious and they are sharing the ball. Love watching them play hard. This team will surprise many this year.

[Chomag]

Did Young tell Pop that he voted for Trump?

[james evans]

Remember the meltdown when we picked Vassell in the draft? :lol
I'm afraid for him. He's having a good game. Popovich may bench him in game 2.

[Chinook]

Vassell should be starting. Worst case, he should be starting for White or Murray to balance out the rotation. But I'd say he should be starting for McDermott with someone else starting for White/Murray. You want to develop the young guys? Play them, and not just with the bench.

[emanueldavidginobili]

DJ really gonna ruin my parlay not getting 15 points I’m sick.

[024]

We want Primo

[slick'81]

7 players in double figures :cry

[raybies]

I know it is just Orlando and they are missing half their team, but the Spurs are ballin out there. I love how they are sharing the ball, playing hard, hustling, going after all the loose balls, and absolutely rooting each other on. I am seeing no egos out there. I love it. They are fun as hell to watch. Now, I know the games will definitely get tougher. Hopefully they can keep up this brotherhood even during the tough stretches.

Great point G. And also I'd like to add, all those things can be maintained and sustained... shooting woes happen but like you just said bruh, they can bring that every night.

[slick'81]

Lead down to 23

[Chomag]

I'm still not expecting many wins this season but this group of yougins are sure fun to watch!

[slick'81]

Devin taking over

[Chinook]

My preferred rotation is still:

White, Murray
Walker, Primo
Vassell, McDermott
Johnson, Bates-Diop
Poeltl, Young

But there's a lot of room for compromise that I think would still lead to a better rotation.

[slick'81]

Man orlando is baaad

[NASpurs]

Vassell should be starting. Worst case, he should be starting for White or Murray to balance out the rotation. But I'd say he should be starting for McDermott with someone else starting for White/Murray. You want to develop the young guys? Play them, and not just with the bench.

I'm scared of the thought of McD and Fvck! coming together off the bench.

[raybies]

but we got fleeced at gun point

and indiana got bent over the table...

[HankChinaski]

Vassell should be starting. Worst case, he should be starting for White or Murray to balance out the rotation. But I'd say he should be starting for McDermott with someone else starting for White/Murray. You want to develop the young guys? Play them, and not just with the bench.

Vassell off the bench still works because of when you bring in Lonnie and Forbes he helps offset the drop in defense. He definitely needs to be closing out 4th quarters every game though with white and murray and poeltl

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Bates Diop played really good defense during that run we had. He is big enough to play the 4 in today’s NBA but can move decent enough to not be too bad of a defensive liability when switched into wings.

he might not be a good scorer but dude is a pretty solid defender. He should maybe get more run at the backup 4 during the season.

[Uriel]

Primo. Jones. Landale. I want to see.

[james evans]

We want Primo
that's what I'm waiting on. Now is perfect. I don't want to see him in with a minute left.

[HankChinaski]

Tre Jones sighting!

[slick'81]

Get primo in there damn

[onechance87]

Vassell should be getting 30 min plus ths year...no excuse

[raybies]

Imagine how good the trade would look for the Spurs in retrospect had Number Two's four-bouncer missed and the Raps lost in round 2. Or if a healthy Warriors team had trounced them in the Finals.

The trade went as well as it possibly could have for the Raps and they still suck now. I know they don't regret it, I'm just saying it was still a razor's edge as to how it turned out.

Huge facts man. They caught lightening in a bottle just like we did... Kawhi is a comet man, from what I can fore see... short time around but brilliant display... I'm not sure how long he plays and at what level... I ain't mad at the whole situation anymore... it's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. Time will tell.

[Budkin]

Man orlando is baaad

The Magic are my second team. They've been horrendous since Dwight Howard left.

[Gibbz]

Vassell is clearly SA's potential ticket out of the basement.

[Uriel]

Is the crowd chanting Primo?

[tim_duncan_fan]

We want the Tre, Primo, Vassell lineup!

[aksyunstar]

Such a fun game to watch tbh, can Pop sub in Primo and Landale already :hungry:

[offset formation]

and indiana got bent over the table...

you hate to see it.

[Degoat]

Primo isn’t in street clothes is he?

[slick'81]

Lets go primo

[raybies]

Vassell should be getting 30 min plus ths year...no excuse

Just gonna have to limit Bryn which is a plus and shorten the rotation... There's a ton of players who "need" minutes... at first for me it was for development but these guys are earning their paycheck.. feels good. we been the unemployment check for so many sours for so long.

[pRoshi]

Vassell has a 3 and D prototype. Those players are starters, tbh. I think his shooting fits a lot better in the SL. Keldon's drives fit better with the shooting of Forbes and Walker off the bench, imho.

This team seems pretty interchangeable, but it would be nice for vassell to be in the SL.

[slick'81]

Primo still tucked away behind the bench

[NASpurs]

Great game for Luka to get garbage minutes.

Oh wait.

[slick'81]

Crowd chanting primo power

[spurraider21]

obviously this version of vassell absolutely should be starting. hope he can string together some good performances. he lacked confidence most of last year.

[slick'81]

Tre jones but no primo?! Wth pop

[raybies]

The scoring balance tonight is one of the more impressive things I've seen the past few years...

[Rocalcio]

Walker still struggling with his shoot, but I like the fact that he’s trying.

[slick'81]

Lets go tj

[NASpurs]

Fvck! with six minutes played. Great sign.

[slick'81]

Lonnie fell asleep there

[raybies]

obviously this version of vassell absolutely should be starting. hope he can string together some good performances. he lacked confidence most of last year.

Suppose he continues this kind of level of play..., do you think that improves our prospects this year as far as being at the very least competitive for the playoffs?

[spurraider21]

lonnie with a long leash and forbes glued to the bench

:cry beautiful

[slick'81]

Primo incoming

[NASpurs]

Lonnie falling asleep there :lol

[slick'81]

Lfg primo!!!

[offset formation]

wtf pop. it's a 25 pt game. put some newbs in already

[raybies]

Dam man, Tre can play. We got some serious issues in regards to minutes... we'll see.

[spurraider21]

crowd erupting for primo :lol

[Uriel]

Fucking finally.

[DAF86]

Cousin time!

[raybies]

Primetime bby

[slick'81]

Dam man, Tre can play. We got some serious issues in regards to minutes... we'll see.


just keep bryn and young off the floor

[Rocalcio]

Jones’ teardrop looks smooth.

Primo in !

[spurraider21]

why is poodle still in the game?

edit: SOB in

[heyheymymy]

I was here for the primo rookie game debut

[Uriel]

Landale!!!

[HankChinaski]

Awww yeah. Landale, Primo, Jones !

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Vassell off the bench still works because of when you bring in Lonnie and Forbes he helps offset the drop in defense. He definitely needs to be closing out 4th quarters every game though with white and murray and poeltl

i agree with this line of thinking 100%

As long as Devin gets a good amount of minutes it shouldn’t really matter if he starts or comes off the bench. The big thing is his minutes and the groups he plays with in my opinion.

I think the biggest issue with the starting unit (to the chagrin of what many would think) is Keldon. He isn’t a good shooter from distance, he isn’t a good defender (even though he give great effort), he isn’t a good rebounder, and he is undersized against a lot of teams at the 4.

I understand why he is starting and I love his energy and finishing ability but out of all the starters he honestly is the only one who kinda has an odd fit. Of course I’d be keeps improving all those doubts will not matter but if we all are being honest he is the only starter that kinda is an odd fit.

[slick'81]

Jock got something for bamba

[raybies]

Jock strap is in :wow

[slick'81]

Jock strap is in :wow

terry cummings old number

[NASpurs]

I'm just happy to watch the young guys play while Forbes is on a leash. Forbes being on the team still sucks but if he's on a leash like this, then it's all good.

[HankChinaski]

Vassell missed Landale on that last play.

[slick'81]

Jock,vas,tj,primo&kbd

[Mr. Body]

Walker still struggling with his shoot, but I like the fact that he’s trying.

He's looking much better. I care less about the shots not falling than him taking them whenever he's open, and he's not hesitating.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Devin is going to be really fucking good.

[slick'81]

Primo mofos's

[DAF86]

Cousin!!

[slick'81]

Primo suave

[NASpurs]

Primo don't be shy, shoot that 3.

[slick'81]

Whitney houston

[Uriel]

When is Primo going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame?

[slick'81]

Bryn who?!

[raybies]

Vintage Pop. Chewing the guys out, and up 20. Just a beauty.

He's fully invested this year for some reason.

[slick'81]

Pop is soo great

[bluebellmaniac]

82-0 Here we come!

[HankChinaski]

He's looking much better. I care less about the shots not falling than him taking them whenever he's open, and he's not hesitating.

He's taking shots and at times has made the right pass, but his penetration is annoyingly soft. He just telegraphs he is avoiding contact with each drive.

I don't know if that rookie injury has left him with a mental fear of contact.

[Spurminator]

When is Primo going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame?

In about 25 years. And we were here for his first points. Soak it in. Smell it all up.

[slick'81]

Sick feed jock

[DAF86]

Why the fuck is Vassell still out there? Get Bryn the garbage minutes he deserves.

I'm just happy to watch the young guys play while Forbes is on a leash. Forbes being on the team still sucks but if he's on a leash like this, then it's all good.

Bates-Diop made me look like an idiot giving him props defensively earlier. Lol. Got blown by and gave up the easy bucket. Pop ripped into him after that time out too.

Spurs style basketball is back

These fucking Euro big men and their passing. Glad that's on our team.

KBD plays so simple but so sound. Just great fundamentals to his game. I expect him to have a lengthy career.

[HankChinaski]

Good Defense by Landale to force the difficult shot.

[Uriel]

KBD :wow

I wish Tre was healthy in the preseason but the fact that Pop put him right in before any of the other guys we expect is encouraging

Primo suave

Fire Pop!

San Antonio Sprouts win!

Primo's first NBA shot is a made 3. Here's to that being a good omen for his career.

Vassell's instincts on D are, dare I say, preternatural.

[NASpurs]

1st seed!

[Uriel]

This is the most clean shaven I've seen Pop since 2014. That's a great sign.

Primo at least needs Forbes's minutes
