[BatManu20]

1-0 incoming.

[TDomination]

Excited to see them in action! Hopefully we can get the W

[John B]

The crew have been waiting to prove themselves. Tonight’s the night. Lonnie beasting for 28 points and Pop approving.

Let’s go Spurs! Let’s go Lonnie :flag::flag::flag:

[LeBowen]

The crew have been waiting to prove themselves. Tonight’s the night. Bryn beasting for 28 points and Pop approving.

Let’s go Spurs! Let’s go Bryn:flag::flag::flag:


Fixed that for you.

[Mugen]

I hope they ball out tonight cuz this opening schedule is brutal. :lol

:flag:

[DAF86]

Vamo lo Spur.

[raybies]

Lets get it bby

[John B]

Fixed that for you.

:lol It’s not bad but as long as they’re winning, and not at the expense of young Lonnie/Vassell minutes. Pop needs to give Lonnie the chance to get his next contract. Same way he did for the vets. I think he would. Lonnie is a good kid. But probably needs his behind get lit up

[spurs1990]

So much intrigue tonight. Will Young even play, how much run does Forbes gets, who's gonna be the leading scorer or will it be by committee, is it a 8, 9, or 10 man rotation.

Probably the most looked forward opener since that unexpected beat-down of GS in October 2016.

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[Leetonidas]

:flag:

[Robz4000]

Magic by 20+ tbh.

[timvp]

Kind of a must win, tbh :lol

If you lose this one, an 0-8 start could very well be incoming.

[slick'81]

Spurs by 20 tbh. Orl dont know what they're walking into

[tbdog]

Both teams will run. Should be fun. Glad to be back.

[Texas eye]

spurs win. Lonnie goes 1/11 and 2 points while pouting.

[slick'81]

There is no way orl wins this basketball game

[heyheymymy]

Kinda tough schedule early on but :flag:

[heyheymymy]

Ready for that vassell development arc narrative

[slick'81]

This will be over by halftime,tbh

[poopbox]

Forbes in the game in the last 3 minutes if it's close cause "we need shooting":depressed

[slick'81]

Forbes in the game in the last 3 minutes if it's close cause "we need shooting":depressed


if its close:rollin:lmao:lobt:

[Robz4000]

Not a bold statement, but I expect Forms to lead the team in minutes tbh.

[Gibbz]

Interested in seeing McBuckets with us.

[slick'81]

Poodle fckn pooowa !!!

[heyheymymy]

Is jock back from concussion protocol?

[slick'81]

[Robz4000]

Welp, the new HEB commercial was mediocre.

[Dverde]

Is jock back from concussion protocol?

Poop wouldn’t even play him if he was available. Poodle and Eubanks getting the minutes

[aksyunstar]

never been this excited for a season opener for the past 3 years :lol

[FkLA]

Any of you faggots have a good link?

No way am I paying for AT&T TV again (did it last yr just to watch the Spurs) until I know Forms isn't a 30 mpg guy.

[GAustex]

A new era. Hope is there. Maybe. Just maybe the young ones catch lighting a bottle.

[slick'81]

Game time mofo's !!!!

[NASpurs]

Any of you faggots have a good link?

No way am I paying for AT&T TV again (did it last yr just to watch the Spurs) until I know Forms isn't a 30 mpg guy.

Google "reddit nba streams" and click on the first result with "rnbastreams".

You'll get like 30 streams links for most games.

Bookmark that page.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Intrigued as hell for this season no LA, DeMar, Rudy, Patty, lets see what the kids got.

[NASpurs]

Has Beadle been on yet?

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Michelle Beadle needs more screen time

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs got this. Magic are hot garbage. Sucks that I always have to watch the opponents feed now

[Chinook]

First of the HEB commercials I've seen this year. It was rough, but they're trying. We'll see if they're all around long enough to develop acting skills.

[raybies]

DAM MAN LETS GET THIS SHIT!

Here's to hopefully an entertaining yet inspiring season.

What y'all eating? LUL

[HankChinaski]

Alright, got the pregame going looking forward for the 1st game of the regular season.

[NASpurs]

The Magic are missing six players so instant loss for the Spurs.

[slick'81]

DAM MAN LETS GET THIS SHIT!

Here's to hopefully an entertaining yet inspiring season.

What y'all eating? LUL

blunts and ho's

[Uriel]

I'm excited to see how Suggs and Wagner perform.

[slick'81]

Spurs by 20+ easy victory

[raybies]

blunts and ho's

:smokin

[Uriel]

Disgusting to see so many open seats. What I would give to be in that building right now.

[slick'81]

Lol mc buckets

[heyheymymy]

Automatic star treatment for kj

[slick'81]

:smokin alwaysbrother

[slick'81]

White en fuego

[poopbox]

Bamba making semi transition 3's and Poodle blowing wide open layups :lol

[Robz4000]

:lol this defense

[SPURt]

NBA league pass is saying no stream available :devil

[slick'81]

Get em together pop

[RC_Drunkford]

Already getting beat with backdoor cuts on every possession

[YoungbuckMurray]

Defense is horrible

[lefty20]

It's a freaking layup drill for the Magic.

[SayTown]

This is going to be a long year.

[Trainwreck2100]

Defense is horrible

in order to be horrible it would have to be defense

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Orlando is getting good looks every time down the court. Our guys have to do a better job communicating on defense

[slick'81]

Magic better enjoy it why they can,tbh

[raybies]

KJ to start in the post was exactly what I wanted to see. Good stuff. get him started early

[RC_Drunkford]

Top 10 Defense they said :lmao

[heyheymymy]

Hoping spurs can adjust

[slick'81]

Dmb jakob dmb

[raybies]

Orlando is busting a nut to start, we'll see if they can sustain that kind of state for the whole game

[slick'81]

Lol feeding jakob in the post

[Robz4000]

This is shaping up to be a long game...

[slick'81]

Keldon feasting inside

[poopbox]

Poodle getting abused all over the court :lol

[heyheymymy]

Preseason magic jumped early on us too before coming back down to earth

[raybies]

Spurs got a little opening night jitters and Orlando came out hot. Just got to settle down

[spurraider21]

that dude on orlando looks like ledbetter :lol

[slick'81]

This is shaping up to be a long game...

no cliff jumping rob:lol

[raybies]

Love KJ's aggressiveness to start

[slick'81]

Keldon is everywhere

[raybies]

This is shaping up to be a long game...
little early to be cliff jumping even for you rob eh

[raybies]

A little backcourt pressuring.. pog

[slick'81]

Poodle power

[slick'81]

Lfg!!!! Dejounte pippen

[lefty20]

Better!

[poopbox]

You can tell McDermott is on the magic scouting report cause they are glued to him

[slick'81]

17-0 spurs:lol

[heyheymymy]

Lol pop bringing full court pressure halfway into the 1st quarter of the first game of the season

[raybies]

Couldn't have asked for much more from KJ to start. White on the other hand hasn't been effective.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Defense picked up after the time out. Great call to press and half court trap by Pop. That’s super rare in the NBA

[HankChinaski]

nice strong take to the rim Murray.

[Robz4000]

Forms will be in there soon enough to steady the tank.

[slick'81]

Keldon is infectious af

[boutons_deux]

3 layups missed already

[daslicer]

I like the defensive pressure.

[HankChinaski]

Lol pop bringing full court pressure halfway into the 1st quarter of the first game of the season

fuck it, this roster has fresh young legs. Press em.

[slick'81]

Whos the blonde ref

[raybies]

alwaysbrother

[slick'81]

Sours getting hands on balls

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Utilize those young legs Pop. Have the guys press and trap more all season.

[heyheymymy]

Could be a fun, long season

[slick'81]

Lonnie in

[slick'81]

Lets go devin

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Great swarming defense and great way not to quit on the play by Lonnie

[poopbox]

Forbes not the 1st guard off the bench :wow

[raybies]

Lonnie with the D????!!!

[slick'81]

Wow no replay

[raybies]

Forbes not the 1st guard off the bench :wow

fr

[heyheymymy]

Damn magic look flustered since the press

[raybies]

gaht dam, Vassell

[Uriel]

In his first possession of the season, Vassell pulls off a move Danny Green would never be able to pull off.

[HankChinaski]

wow that stepback/fadeaway was eye popping.

[raybies]

yeah he got that off I think

[emanueldavidginobili]

Helluva move by DV…confident.

[raybies]

wow that stepback/fadeaway was eye popping.

I didn't know he had it like that, but he's been showing some very sneaky upside.

[raybies]

I mean this team isn't gonna win games on experience or better talent/skill. They gonna have to be a scrappy grit and grime team... if they can shut down teams defensively and be explosive enough to make runs while not getting too down, they could do some work this year. Lots of what ifs but they have the personell.

[slick'81]

Who is 21 for orl hes an annoying cunt

[Uriel]

Getting punked on your home floor by one of the worst teams in the league missing their best players :lol

[slick'81]

Mcdermoot

[slick'81]

Gg

[HankChinaski]

Who is 21 for orl hes an annoying cunt
i think Mo Wagner

[Leetonidas]

Mcbuckets!

[raybies]

Getting punked on your home floor by one of the worst teams in the league missing their best players :lol
bruh..

it's the first quarter. you a sniffer or cliff jumper...

[slick'81]

This one's ova

[HankChinaski]

back to back 3s nice.

[raybies]

Dougie primed for a career year man. I wonder how far he can take it; just a great situation, potentially, that he's in.

[Uriel]

Vassell is so much more skilled and athletic than Danny Green is. His ceiling has to be higher than that.

[RC_Drunkford]

Walker doing work out there!!!

[heyheymymy]

Air Vass

[slick'81]

Ewwwbanks

[raybies]

Welcome to the league, suggma

[HankChinaski]

weirdest angle to try to pick up a charge.

[heyheymymy]

Man what a sick stretch

[lefty20]

Eubanks better sign that poster for Vassell.

[slick'81]

Sours up4 after1

[poopbox]

Whole 1st quarter and no Forbes ? Pop must have found out he celebrated Columbus Day or something :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Man that defense really clamped down after the bad start.

[raybies]

very encouraging first half..

[Trainwreck2100]

very encouraging first half..

first half of the first half

[raybies]

Whole 1st quarter and no Forbes ? Pop must have found out he celebrated Columbus Day or something :lol
well last game of the preseason he started the second. Hopefully pop plays him situationally. We can call him our "secret weapon." or "laser"

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Whole 1st quarter and no Forbes ? Pop must have found out he celebrated Columbus Day or something :lol

lmao

[raybies]

Michelle Beadle is the best sideline talent we have had probably ever and it's not even close LOL

[Robz4000]

:lmao three of the five worst defenders in the NBA in at the same time

[poopbox]

Pop doubles down with McDermott and Forbes on the floor at the same time :lmao

[Mugen]

A Bryn/Lonnie/Dougie lineup :lol

[poopbox]

Forbes almost had a steal :lmao

[slick'81]

Leta go dougie

[raybies]

I don't know man. It really seems White plays so well with the bench.

[slick'81]

Is mischelle eating another hot dog?

[raybies]

Trigger Forbes is in. He pulls the trigger or he gets you triggered LUL

[HankChinaski]

that reverse pump layup!

[raybies]

Pop doubles down with McDermott and Forbes on the floor at the same time :lmao
You know he couldn't resist :LOL

[Uriel]

BRYN FORBES IS BACK.

[slick'81]

Forbes brick

[raybies]

Lonnie's competitiveness is very high right now.. love that

[slick'81]

Brick again bryn

[pRoshi]

Bryn is back man damn

[raybies]

this starting to look like a high school game...

[Trainwreck2100]

f0rbes

[slick'81]

Sours up1

[Dancelot]

I love Michelle beadle. Especially that time on ESPN where she laid into nephew for acting like a bitch

[HankChinaski]

Man ever since that 1st time out the Spurs have been much more active. Liking the activity overall.

[slick'81]

Brick bryn

[slick'81]

Poodle pooowa

[YoungbuckMurray]

Brick Bryn being bailed out by Jakob

[MannyIsGod]

Poetl absolutely dominant on the glass

[HankChinaski]

Man Vassell lost his man with first step. That was nice.

[raybies]

Forbes out here building a wall for the defense in the second half... what a champion :cry

[Degoat]

Was it just me or was the Michelle beadle guest spot kinda cringe lol

[foodie2]

Is Beadle going to be a regular feature? Because I’m not okay with that.

[Mugen]

Bryn straight trolling at this point, I honestly respect it :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Devin is looking crisp AF

[slick'81]

Brick forbes just getting started

[slick'81]

King Elliott

[8sy21vd]

Forbes a complete train wreck on both ends hilarious lol. McBucketts looking good and luvin' Vassell. Looks like he's ready to take a leap. Wouldn't mind White in the Manu role either. His impact on the defensive end can't be measured by stats.

[MannyIsGod]

This is the other side of the coin with the spurs. Great d, but sometimes bthey won't hit a damn shot.

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl dominating

[HankChinaski]

If we could redraft Robinson in this soft league he would straight beast. Every time I see Dave Highlights only thing that crosses my mind.

[Davidicus2]

Was it just me or was the Michelle beadle guest spot kinda cringe lol

+1. Started ok but then grilled Sean for like 10mins on Simmons. Hopefully they find a groove between the 3 of them soon.

[heyheymymy]

Beadle joined the spurs in an official role it was announced earlier

[Robz4000]

:lmao Forms

[slick'81]

Brick forbes 0-4

[raybies]

bro, robyn is done lol... gahd dam lol

[slick'81]

Sloppy handles Murray

[Dverde]

I like the Lonnie off the bench idea. Forbes seems to be forcing it. Pass it around more

[slick'81]

Keldon cant be contained

[slick'81]

Sours up7

[Chomag]

Stop ChuckIng Forbes my god!!

[Uriel]

If we could re-do that Toronto Nephew trade, would we still want OG over Poeltl? Because I'm not so sure anymore.

[HankChinaski]

Man that air time KJ had and then follows with the quick putback.nice.

[raybies]

BIG BODY! https://media.giphy.com/media/3oEhmCmDzqV12kkwdW/giphy.gif

[Seventyniner]

Forbes is scared to shoot, making him utterly useless on both ends.

[slick'81]

Dejounte pippen and1

[Dex]

Murray needs to settle down. Playing out of control in this first half.

[HankChinaski]

Man, Eubanks scrapping the save that play.

[poopbox]

Was it just me or was the Michelle beadle guest spot kinda cringe lol

Sean didn't seem to be much of a fan :lol

You can tell he didn't give two shits about Philly or Ben Simmons :lol

[slick'81]

Dv!!!

[raybies]

Pop's defensive schemes have been pretty dam on point today... he's not mailing it in

[slick'81]

Sick layup by lonnie, straight floating

[poopbox]

Utter ridiculous defense by Vassel. Got off the screen, was behind the shooter, and still challenged it picture perfectly :wow

[HankChinaski]

Vassell midrange looking good.

[raybies]

Sky Walker.

[slick'81]

Sours by11

[HankChinaski]

Lonnie with the nice strip

[raybies]

Spurs starting to run away with this one. We'll see how they play ahead.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Dejounte

your guy Chris Duarte for the Pacers had a really good 1st game against Charlotte

[slick'81]

Robin lopez:lol

[heyheymymy]

Shit Vass just fought through the screen twice and still covered his assignment

[raybies]

Utter ridiculous defense by Vassel. Got off the screen, was behind the shooter, and still challenged it picture perfectly :wow

He has the tools to be as elite a defender in the league as there is... If he puts together any kind of semblance of an offensive game and he could be dangerous. He's got a smooth lanky game about him

[slick'81]

Murray needs to settle down. Playing out of control in this first half.

love the aggressiveness tbh

[slick'81]

Poodle is gold in these commercials

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Devin is looking really good so far. Loving his shot selection and defense.

[slick'81]

Lets go Murray

[slick'81]

Little tap lol

[slick'81]

Derrick in

[raybies]

DJ :wow

[slick'81]

Kj the beast

[Uriel]

Thad Young still not playing. Looks like he's out of the rotation for real.

[slick'81]

Keldons world

[HankChinaski]

KJ has looked pretty solid using that Euro step throughout the preseason into this game.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I fucking love Drew, man.

[raybies]

Theoretically our offense should be a lot worse but it has looked a lot better... man just loving what I'm seeing.

[Seventyniner]

Easy to look good against a bad team, but I'm loving the egalitarian nature of the offense. A huge change from last season.

[poopbox]

Second half rotations will be interesting. Seems like Pop plans to start and close with Dejounte and White but other than that not play them together

[slick'81]

Thad Young still not playing. Looks like he's out of the rotation for real.




why would he be okay. He doesn't fit here

[HankChinaski]

nice jumper to follow up with.

[raybies]

dam man Trubanks layed the wood with that screen :wow

[PhantomDashCam]

Everyone going at Franz. Tough game for the rook.

[slick'81]

Told yall its ova at halftime

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Keldon been ultra aggressive offensively and so far it’s been a very positive thing. Lol.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Sours by11

The Sours were those Derozan/Aldridge teams. This is something different lol

[mo7888]

Gotta admit it's been a fun game to watch...haven't been able to say that in some time..

[slick'81]

Come on drew finish that

[raybies]

The Sours were those Derozan/Aldridge teams. This is something different lol

facts

[slick'81]

Three easy looks for sa wasted

[raybies]

I love the no hesitating with the offense. They are making quick decisions... shades of the bgame.

[slick'81]

Sours by 12 at the break

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Hopefully our guys come out with great energy like they did after the 1st time out Pop called in the 2nd half.

[HankChinaski]

did not like that drive by Murray, nor the previous play with lonnie dumping off to Eubanks who wasn't ready for the ball.

[slick'81]

Matt bonner time

[raybies]

I guess we'll see the true potential of the bgame if these kids can perfect it... All the elements are there just without the legends...

[raybies]

great half, couldn't ask for more.

[slick'81]

Keldon with 13 at the half

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

did not like that drive by Murray, nor the previous play with lonnie dumping off to Eubanks who wasn't ready for the ball.

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.

[raybies]

Bryn keeps shitting the bed and maybe Pop will have to put Primo in :smokin

[slick'81]

Bryn keeps shitting the bed and maybe Pop will have to put Primo in :smokin


Thats the goal.seriously primo cant be worse then 0'fer:lol

[raybies]

Toronto's victory in that trade was very short lived... dam.. i mean how do they win more then 10 games this year...

[raybies]

seriously primo cant be worse the 0'fer:lol

facts.

[spurraider21]

Toronto's victory in that trade was very short lived... dam.. i mean how do they win more then 10 games this year...
their win in that trade is eternal

they rang

[Dejounte]

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

[SpurPadre]

Well, if anything, this team definitely isn’t boring.
