Spurs Injuries: Keita Bates-Diop (Out — Back), Romeo Langford (Out — Hamstring), Doug McDermott (Out — Ankle), D.J. Stewart (Out — Two Way), Robert Woodard II (Out — Two Way), Devontae Cacok (Doubtful — Heel)

Thunder Injuries: Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (Out — Foot), Josh Giddey (Out — Hip), Derrick Favors (Out — Back), Luguentz Dort (Out — Shoulder), Ty Jerome (Out — Groin), Kenrich William (Out — Knee), Mike Muscala (Out — Ankle), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Game Time Decision — Ankle)

A must L for the Spurs against another tanking team. The Thunder have lost 6 games in a row, the last Win over Nuggets at Denver. Spurs have problems against athletic guards, so it’s possible that Spurs could lose :lol. Go Lose Go! :clap:clap:clap

This game will show us what happens when a stoppable force meets a moveable object.

Another W for the good guys vs the tank commander thunder

[KingKev]

Yikes Thunder are +730 on the ML.

One wonders when SGA might get sick of the tank.

One wonders when SGA might get sick of the tank.

Or living in Oklahoma.

Quick write-up on McDermott expected to miss the remainder of the regular season due to injury: projectspurs.com/doug-mcdermott…


-Spurs are a +3.2 pp/100 per CTG with Richardson in starting 5
- if Doug does miss rest of season, he finishes season as one of most efficient shooters on team

I didn’t know Primo had that!

[CGD]

Josh Richardson is kinda a turnover machine I’ve noticed.

[XDT76]

Josh Richardson is kinda a turnover machine I’ve noticed.

Not sure is it he has an eye on his next contract but he seems to be a bit forcing things and ignore the guys some of the time.

He’s not a natural ball handler but Pop seems to use him to facilitate. At toting it’s like the Summer Camp showcasing what they can bring to the table, and roster combinations

[John B]

Keldon’s 3’s are just money now. I like him to improve on his lateral speed and maybe he can play the SF 3 and d instead

[Dex]

Tank is going off the skids

[John B]

Murray going for his triple double and MIP :lol

[John B]

Tank is going off the skids
Tank still rolling

[SPURt]

I’d do anything to get another year of the big three… anything… teehee

[SPURt]

Shucks

[Robz4000]

:lol what low IQ from the Spurs

[John B]

Nobody wants the ball :sleep

[John B]

OKC: defense! defense! :lol

[SPURt]

Keldon just misses the dunk

[TimDunkem]

Another W for the good guys vs the tank commander thunder

26/22/9 for Murray. Another short of a triple double. J-Rich rebounding instead of McBucket is messing up DJ’s triple-doubles :lol

[BackHome]

Devin playing 32 minutes and scoring 3 points it ain’t looking good for him

Shit, that is not good. How has Devin played the past few weeks. What's his averages on the season? If I could go back and do a redraft, I think I'd take Haliburton without question.

[MultiTroll]

Must be a great game with two game threads :lol
I get credit for that.
Guess you started this quite a bit earlier + a bunch of other topics much have pushed this thread down.
I looked, but obviously not far enough.

Oh well we got good takes off of both of them.

[TDMVPDPOY]

[BatManu20]

Players have a tendency to defer more in their 2nd year with Pop, with the exception of Keldon maybe. Getting over one’s self and playing for the team. I don’t think Pop is worried and want his player to play unselfish basketball first. Just Devin needs to find the balance of playing for the team and taking over when called. Not everybody’s Manu who can just switch it on and off. I’m not worried about Devin.
