Game Thread: Hornets @ Spurs 10/19/22 - Season Opener

[KingKev]

7pm CST tipoff.

Lamelo Ball out with an ankle injury. Hayward is back. Charlotte should be a formidable opponent both tonight and in terms of what is most important for this organization (outside of social issues); The Tank.

Spurs appear to be healthy.

I’m seeing even to -1 SAS on the spread. Battle of the titans here.

That CHA 2023 FRP unlikely to convey this year which might be a blessing in disguise, still many reasons to get this L!!!

Vamos!!!!

[lefty]

We are going to win this game.

[KingKev]

We are going to win this game.

They should win this handedly but I think it will be close. Hayward when healthy is still very serviceable.

[RC_Drunkford]

this game is worth 2 Ls. Not only would we get one, we'd also make sure the Hornets get a W. Must lose game

[BillMc]

Go Spurs!:makemyday

[BillMc]

Won't be able to do it guys. Can't root for losing. By my nature must root for a victory, see my guys win. Sorry. :grim:

[Robz4000]

No! Spurs! No!

[rjv]

hayward is a spurs killer so hornets could accidentally win this one but i'll still go with the spurs to get the win and set off ST in the process.

[KobesAchilles]

Spurs already faced with a must lose game. I love it.

[Mugen]

Let's start this season off right and get this L tbh.

[spurs10]

Won't be able to do it guys. Can't root for losing. By my nature must root for a victory, see my guys win. Sorry. :grim: Yes the world is upside down!

[John B]

I just want 3 quarters of competitive game, and an L :lol:lol

[KingKev]

By my nature must root for a victor, see my guys win. Sorry. :grim:

Fixed.

[John B]

Fixed.

I see what you did there

[Gibbz]

Won't be able to do it guys. Can't root for losing. By my nature must root for a victory, see my guys win. Sorry. :grim:

Same here--GSG!

[Dex]

Won't be able to do it guys. Can't root for losing. By my nature must root for a victory, see my guys win. Sorry. :grim:

Losing IS winning in this case. :huddle:

[Joseph Kony]

Hornets by 20+

[objective]

No! Spurs! No!

How have I never heard this until now? The new battle cry.

They say yes

[lefty20]

Gotta lose a few battles this season so we can win the war later on.

Big picture... lfg.

[TekXX]

It's like that South Park episode where the kids are all trying to lose their little league games.

[heyheymymy]

Thanks OP for getting this thread going

[slick'81]

For at least one night the spurs will have the best record in the nba

[Maddog]

Won't be able to do it guys. Can't root for losing. By my nature must root for a victory, see my guys win. Sorry. :grim:

Same
They'll lose plenty

[slick'81]

Play in here we come!!

[heyheymymy]

I'm picking scary Terry to go off tonight

[spurraider21]

wembanyama on my mind

[heyheymymy]

Can't wait to get the #1 pick and for Bill Land to be goin Oh, Yama!

[KingKev]

Play in here we come!!

Getting blown out in the first half of the play-in is our upside tbh. But it will be a moral victory :whine for the second highest paid player on this roster after McLovin…..

:pop:

[heyheymymy]

I feel bad for saying MCD sucks and can see where he might feast in this role with pressure off and the ultimate green light. Guy is going to be shooting anything remotely resembling a little daylight. Always admired his potential because that route running is elite and while I'm not sure I'd call him a sniper on volume this offense once they tighten up that ball movement could be a situation MCD thrives in.

Crazy how I thought MCD would shift up to PF when they've been sliding him down to SG instead lol. And it works! Never thought to try that at alll. At least they rehomed him at his natural SF though. But Doug looked good in preseason and I wonder if he might prove solid and therefore earn a deadline dump for a FRP if someone is desperate enough and on the cusp of contention. Might not happen till next deadline though with that contract length?

[heyheymymy]

Still can't believe PATFO would commit future guaranteed money to Wieskamp when the whole stated priority was total flexibility. Super irritating to tie up any future money but Weis was a good kid and Spurs have a rep of taking care of their own which may benefit them down the line.

Just not sure what promise they saw to be willing to hamstring potential flexibility. Not enough to jeopardize space, terrible decision making. I always thought Weiskamp might be a proto Peyton Prichard (for whatever that's worth) and they valued that potential enough to lock him down while they see about it?

[TD 21]

Aside from having the two best creators (Hayward and Rozier III), the rest of their projected rotation (Washington Jr., Plumlee, Oubre Jr., Martin, McDaniels, Richards, Smith Jr.) is probably worse than the Spurs.

Crazy how fast they went from looking on the rise to this. They should offer Rozier III and Hayward for Westbrook and Nunn and shut Ball down post All-Star break with a pseudo injury.

[Uriel]

We can’t lose to the Bobcats lol

[heyheymymy]

I'm not against staggering the CHA 23 FRP to a latter season.

Spurs will have at least 4 first or second year guys next season and I don't know if more wouldn't strip away development depth. Might be nice to delay gratification and get a slow drip feed of talent cycling in increments instead of a talent dump coaching staff has to sift through with possibly some gems slipping through the cracks.

[tonight...you]

We can’t lose to the Bobcats lol
Lol. Holy crap- flashback to Big Country dominating Timmy in the preseason (or was it Summer League? It was a while ago and I'm not sure if there was a Summer League then...) and peeps freaking out!

[Chomag]

Go spurs go!
But please don't win lol

[Chomag]

Hey are there Any good stream links out there for this game, I only have a YouTube TV membership and I really don't want to reward Bally Sports for charging $20 a month for bare minimal content.

[tonight...you]

Go spurs go!
But please don't win lol
We thank you, Basketball God, for another season.
Just let our team show heart, that they can compete, Sochan shows he has potential to be special, Primo show real potential to be special... and be 6'7",
Keldon looks great as a SF, Devin takes the next step and Pop pulls it back at the end of games and the end of the year and please, Please:
let us have a top chance at the top pick in next year's Draft.
In your name,
Amen.

[Chomag]

Truthfully losing is still going to suck but Ill give up on all of our wins just as long as we are actively playing and developing our youth as we make way for the next lottery. I'm speaking on as a fan side if things of course.

I'm just going to have to try at getting into the mindset of cheering and hoping for our players to play hard and compete and not worry to much about the final score.

[Larry O]

Hearing that the Spurs will be wearing their throwback City Edition George Gervn jerseys for tonight's game! That will be nice to check out to see what they look like in action!

[barakz21]

Off topic, but when do the city edition jerseys become available?

[K...]

meh it could help us get future 2 way guys like barlow to honor verbal intents. tha'ts a different kind of flexibility and perhaps more relevant

No future money. Apparently, next year was u guaranteed.

[Chomag]

It's going to be pretty challenging to out tank Utah and OKC.

[heyheymymy]

No future money. Apparently, next year was u guaranteed.

Good info well that changes things and we are still looking sterling in the Wright era then

[PhantomDashCam]

So excited for Spurs basketball to be back! Irrespective of bumps along the way, embracing the youth movement and the Little Three of KJ, Dev and Primo playing plenty and evolution in their game to game development.

Thanks my dude!

[Chomag]

Here we go fellers!!

This off-season felt extra long for some reason

[Leetonidas]

Those jerseys look nice

[tonight...you]

Dell Curry can barely complete a sentence without a stutter, but Ashley!
Shup...

[tbdog]

Oh basketball season. Now I've got to hear that national anthem over and over

[Chomag]

Happy with the starting line up

[Dex]

Love the new jerseys!

[slick'81]

Keldon gonna feast

[spurraider21]

dropping this game not only helps us vie for wemby but also helps us get that FRP from charlotte. lets get this L

[PhantomDashCam]

First game of the season and arena looks half full. Absolute BS.

[tonight...you]

Keldon gave the tank D on that one.

[Chomag]

No weak shit Jacob...

[heyheymymy]

keldon with the nimble touch like his fingers are made of crystal

[slick'81]

Poor poodle

[Leetonidas]

:lmao great start

[Mugen]

So far, so good tbh :lol

[slick'81]

Jeremy with the lavender vibes

[Dex]

Poeltl looking sloppy early

[tonight...you]

Cha coach looks like the world's oldest baby and if Dell says "muscle memory" one more time...

What a weird phrase to latch onto...
Muscle Memory.

[Chomag]

First game of the season and arena looks half full. Absolute BS.
Well to be honest they are still charging for tickets like the team are contenders, they seriously need to think about dropping those prices down

[spurraider21]

i like poeltl but possessions where you just dump the ball to him and ask him to get to work in the post seems like a good recipe for the tank tbh

[Chomag]

Please don't tank your trade value Jacob....

[slick'81]

Poodle leading the tank early

[Uriel]

The thing is, even if we don't get Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson would be a great fit on our roster.

[Leetonidas]

Wtf is Poodle doing:lol dude looks like he doesn't want to be out there

[tonight...you]

Team is acting jittery already.

[Leetonidas]

The thing is, even if we don't get Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson would be a great fit on our roster.

Yup. Obviously Wemby is the main prize but Scoot would be a great consolation

[Mr. Body]

Well, the defense looks terrible.

[slick'81]

Wtf is Poodle doing:lol dude looks like he doesn't want to be out there

looks like hes trying to do to much

[BillMc]

Grrrrr.....

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

We have less spacing than the Lakers. Can’t start three non shooters in today’s nba.

[Degoat]

Can’t wait till the day Jakob isn’t a spur lol

[tonight...you]

I have to say that Sochan has been playing the most intelligently of all the players on the floor.
Dude has serious IQ.

He allowed that one layup knowing Poetl had the block with his funnel, but P didn't perform.

[objective]

Can't tell if I'm surprised at how bad San Antonio looks or how not bad Charlotte looks.

[Chomag]

I'm still pretty concerned that Sochan won't be anything special but he still has allot of time to show us something.

[slick'81]

Down 11 early. Lets see what we got

[Chomag]

Should have traded Jacob in the off-season when his value was high tbh

[slick'81]

Boom baby

[lefty20]

KJ :wow

[tonight...you]

Grrrrr.....
It's best to just watch and evaluate the play on the floor from situation to situation.
Our team is patchwork and doing what they can.

[Chomag]

Gawd damn Keldon!!

[slick'81]

Primo suave time

[tonight...you]

Backups need to come in now.

[slick'81]

Damn Charlotte sucks

[tonight...you]

Alright Primo.
Not expecting the world, but expecting something and let's get that going.

[Chomag]

I guess they really are going to make Primo the PG....the back up PG lol

[slick'81]

Sprinkle me bricks two

[slick'81]

Make that 3 bricks for sprinkles

[Chomag]

Lol

[spurraider21]

sochan's shot is really rough :lol

if im charlotte and he's standing outside the 3 point line, i'm legitimately having that defender stand just outside the paint

[Uriel]

On the plus side, we should have no issues tanking this year.

[Mugen]

:lmao Wemby better start looking at SA property tbh.

[Mugen]

They really couldn't give Chip a bench role or some shit? It's not like he went to a contender. Smh tbh.

[Degoat]

Boy Sochans shot is fugly

[spurraider21]

On the plus side, we should have no issues tanking this year.
just a year removed from being a top 5 team in the west too... crazy

https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298630

[tonight...you]

Okay.
Big TAKEAWAY
They have plays they want to do and they are executed to some extent, but

They don't have it down.
The pass was correct, but it was just off. The player was in the right place, but movement was just off.

This is good coaching vs boys trying to play a man's game, but they are trying to play a grown man's game.

It's true.

[Uriel]

FiveThirtyEight doesn't even have us as a bottom 4 team in the league. :/

[Chomag]

Timvp's game grades are going to be fun this season

Listened to the Locked On Hornets podcast earlier, apparently Mark Williams, the 15th pick of the draft, won't even be in the regular rotation.

[slick'81]

Spurs literally daring the hornets to shoot. Not even contesting

Oh, now McBuckets shows up

Jrich posterized

[spurraider21]

tbh Tre probably fits better with this spacing unit including mcbuckets, richardson, zollins while the starting lineup could use a shooting threat at PG (even though im not convinced primo is a plus outside shooter)

[tonight...you]

Logical....but not easy, my friend.
True.
We need to put on our evaluation glasses on more than we ever have this season.

[heyheymymy]

not sure if spurs are tanking or just lazy lol

Kelly Oubre looking like prime LeBron :lol

You never want them to be lazy.

how long is the naming rights contract with Self that logo is an eyesore compared to the Frost Bank Sun

At least we're losing a must-lose game, I guess.

[Chomag]

Welp...

[timtonymanu]

Vassell is still very average

[emanueldavidginobili]

I am fine with them getting dominated because they suck but god damn can they play with a smidge of effort?

Logical....but not easy, my friend.

As someone who has been watching the Dallas Cowboys for 30ish years going back to their glory days....you get used to it. :sleep

[tonight...you]

I love the Hornets comment guys:
"1st Quarter over, Hornets look like world-beaters!"

Ha ha ha!

Right on boss!

[slick'81]

Fans already restless in sa

[Dex]

I don't think anyone could look at this lineup on the floor and pretend like Pop is actively trying to win games.

[slick'81]

Lmao charlotte player fouled his own guy

[slick'81]

This team is god damn awful. I cant understand with all this talent we possess :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Vassell can’t shoot and I don’t think he ever will with that release

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol I love how pop isn’t even calling time outs. Lose spurs lose :lol

[Chomag]

I'm really worried about Devin...

[timtonymanu]

Would the Spurs even beat G League teams?

[tonight...you]

Fans already restless in sa
Live fans want to watch a win and good play.
Internet fans want...
FantasyLand.

[Dex]

I'm really worried about Devin...

I was going to say something....but feel like it's too soon to judge.

But yeah, early returns don't look good on him making his projected "leap"

[slick'81]

Spurs atrocious from deep

[timtonymanu]

I was going to say something....but feel like it's too soon to judge.

But yeah, early returns don't look good on him making his projected "leap"

Still enough time but he looks so meh to start

What else is new though?

[Leetonidas]

Vassell sucks

[Dex]

Live fans want to watch a win and good play.
Internet fans want...
FantasyLand.

Therein lies the problem.

It's easy for us to judge from our couches or armchairs....but people pay money to go see their team WIN. It sucks to spend $100+ and spend your night watching your team get blown out.

Tanking makes sense in our current state...but people should not be complaining about low attendance or empty seats because I don't blame anyone for not wanting to spend their hard earned money to go watch a trainwreck

[Russ]

Defense seems to be a problem.

[SPURt]

Vassell looking AWFUL

[slick'81]

Outside of Keldon/poodle this is a trash heap

[slick'81]

Sprinkles got up

[timtonymanu]

Outside of Keldon/poodle this is a trash heap

And neither would be the best player on a regular playoff team

[slick'81]

Lead down to 17

[Mr. Body]

Vassell is terrible.

[heyheymymy]

I'm def downgrading my read on tonight's game a bit here as it will prob take 15 games to get physical conditioning and stamina established and even more to integrate all the new personnel and roles. Spurs playbook is tricky for newcomers.

[slick'81]

Just keep this ship sailing pop and collect those L's

[Arcadian]

I think this is the first time in my life, at least since I was about 8 years old, that I can't name every player in the Spurs starting lineup.

there isn’t a single competitive lineup we could put out there.

[poopbox]

I wonder how many of us can really watch basketball this bad for 82 games :lol

[Dex]

I'm a Dolphins fan bro. I can relate. Since Marino retired.....

Oof :cry

[slick'81]

I mean the hornets without their best player is absolutely killing us

[Mr. Body]

Spurs play as ugly as Hayward's MAGAt haircut.

[BillMc]

Worst game I've seen from Devin. Ever. He'll rebound....

[emanueldavidginobili]

Dejounte Murray was the entire Spurs team last year lmao. This is despicable.

[heyheymymy]

also kinda feels like Vass is the perpetual small fish in a big pond as in every time he grows into his role I feel like the spurs move him into a bigger pond by trying to put more responsibility on him. which is great and I think he can grow into greatness but in the meantime Vassell is going to have a full plate and probably look like it.

Still think back, Dev moves so much more fluidly now. Since the end of last season he was hitting threes pretty smoothly. I think he is progressing along well. I'm eager to see what he does with this season and feel like there has been flashes of promise enough to believe.

[Dex]

I do like Sochan's aggressiveness leading the break....not afraid to handle in the open court.

Hasn't lead to much yet, but that will be an asset for him going forward.

[Chomag]

Keldon is looking really good is a plus

[tbdog]

Who in the fuck it's that much ice cream

[spurraider21]

:lol vassell's shooting

[Leetonidas]

Primos handle is awful

[BillMc]

Give Primo time though. He's going to be good....

oh yeah. he's raw as hell, but if you squint you can see some draymond-esque potential. long ways to go

best thing he has going for him is his age

Chance to get it back down to 17

[Mr. Body]

Vassell to the bench, start McDermott. At least he can score.

[tonight...you]

Vassell shot is off. Seems rushed.
He's never going to be reliable 3 bubba.

What's crazy is the comparisons.

He's he's his own guy.

His best comp is Danny G with a slightly better 3 and less rundown D with a but better dribble.

[BillMc]

Play the other rookies Pop! I'm bored.

[slick'81]

Way to contest those jumpers guys

[slick'81]

Only down 21 . Silver linings and all that shit

[spurs1990]

I feel like popvich has to call it a night during this season. Leave midway like he came in Dec 1996

[Leetonidas]

It's funny that some Laker fans think Charlotte will give them Hayward, Rozier, and Washington for Westbrook:lol

[poopbox]

Well the good thing about Primo is he can't get any worse than what he is now.

[offset formation]

Based off the first half alone, really just the 2nd, we will have zero problems finishing in the bottom 3. This is coming down to the particular bounce of a lotto ball as to how fruitful this season will be.

Maybe we should commence a seance now for a good bounce.

[heyheymymy]

this is basically a dress rehearsal for rotation and lineup fit

they aren't even looking at this like a game lol

Highly debatable if he stays at PG. Highly debatable.

[spurraider21]

Vassell to the bench, start McDermott. At least he can score.
meh, winning isnt really the objective. as much as ive been disappointed and pessimistic with vassell, this team is going to be in the shitter anyway, and the objective of the year is going to be to have a good idea of which guys are worth keeping for the long haul and which guys we just need to cut bait with. give vassell a long leash, let him struggle and see if he overcomes it and grows out of it.

regardless of the bounce spurs desperately need a top 4 pick

Then what were we doing in the preseason tbh :lol

[tonight...you]

No. This is a process of learning the players and the ituations they're are given.

You don't go all ADD just because.

[spurraider21]

Well the good thing about Primo is he can't get any worse than what he is now.
Josh "he's only 19" Primo... just like Stanley "he's 6'8" Johnson

his best trait is not a basketball one

[offset formation]

Play the other rookies Pop! I'm bored.

Won't be long until you're actively rooting for those Ls, Bill. Come to the darkside.

[slick'81]

Huffing that copium:lol they suck bro, open your eyes

the talent here is too much to deny. Spurs definitely not treating this like a regular season game

[John B]

It’s going to be a long season. I wonder if I can get a refund from my LP? :loser:loser

[Chomag]

Gonna have many drunken nights watching this team

the talent here is too much to deny. Spurs definitely not treating this like a regular season game

What talent? Spurs have absolutely zero blue chip prospects. Keldon is solid but that's it. Take off the homer goggles man

[KobesAchilles]

I’m glad to see the Spurs are taking this game seriously

Just keep feeding poodle and let him work. Let vassell shoot until his wrists hurt and make primo the starting pg. tank to the top baaaby

I agree about Sochan's IQ but Hopefully he can figure out what kind of offensive player he needs to be because scoring 0 points isn't going to get you very much PT in today's modern NBA no matter how good you are on your defensive IQ.

[Mugen]

Next year's (hopefully) top 3 pick is just gonna be the start tbh. This team just has zero blue chip prospects which sucks since they haven't been relevant for years now. Tank should have started two years ago tbh.
