[John B]

Spurs Injuries: Romeo Langford (Questionable — Toe), Isaiah Roby (Questionable — Illness), Blake Wesley (Out — MCL), Charles Bassey (Out — Two-Way), Dominick Barlow (Out — Two-Way)

Nuggets Injuries: Zeke Nnaji (Day-to-Day — Ankle), Bones Hyland (Questionable — Hip); Ish Smith (Questionable — Calf); Collin Gillespie (Out — Leg),

Well that was a disappointing outing for Keldon last night. Let’s see if he finds his shooting tonight. And oh yeah, Poeltl will be going against the current MVP :cry:oops:fight

Go Spurs Go! :flag::flag::flag:

[Mr. Body]

A nasty stretch of games here.

Denver
Denver
Memphis
Milwaukee
Golden State
Portland

I think they can beat GSW but the rest might be really hard.

[Harry Callahan]

Reality may start to set in now.

Remember - this is a multi year marathon and not a sprint.

Well, then they start playing teams like Sacramento, Orlando, and play the Lakers three times in four games.

Go Spurs!:makemyday

Isaiah Roby (coming back from flu) is available for Spurs tonight in Denver, but will be on limited minutes. Zach Collins (leg contusion) is warming up and will be a game-time decision.Devin Vassell will again come off the bench and remains on a minutes restriction.

[slick'81]

We coming for you denver!

All of which is fine with me.
Give the boys time to play and show their stuff and lose in the end.
Or maybe they show too much and our boys win because they are Dem Dudes.

All up to El Hefe (I bought his Loteria shirt and my whole Mexican family (in-laws) love it.
Stayed in Mexico City for the Dia De Los Muertos celebration and so many peeps there recognized what I was wearing.
On the streets... on the Metro...

Very cool.

Let's hope Branham shows us something.

[Ocotillo]

Oh no, Dan Weiss.

[SPURt]

Got a good feeling about this one. They have the “Denver Gay Men’s Chorus” singing the National anthem! We about to get in these fools!!

[Dejounte]

Murray wants to bully Tre all night

[Dejounte]

Jokic and Poeltl switched bodies. Poeltl having his way so far

[poopbox]

Jokic got our whole team playing to the Benny Hill theme :lol

[mystargtr34]

Once Poeltl and Sochan went out the defense turned to shit as expected. Everyone scrambling. They were scoring on Murray iso's only early on, now its everyone scoring from all over the court.

[poopbox]

Has a player ever missed a shot when guarded by McDermott?

[timtonymanu]

Play in contender :lol

[Ocotillo]

May want to hold off on that MVP chant for Devin

[boutons_deux]

What is it about? Spurs that other teams shoot lights out way over 50%

nuggets are nearly 80% throughout the first quarter

[Mugen]

Life finds a way, tank back on baby! Scooooooot

[timtonymanu]

Yeah I'm sorry but at this pace it's another 35 win season that will make us stuck with another pick in the Flashy Pee range. Tank is back on, baby!

[BillMc]

My mood ring just exploded.

[timtonymanu]

Good move of Pop to sit Vassell in a winnable game yesterday so Devin can play in this 20 point blowout.

[SPURt]

They can’t shoot 70% all game can they?? CAN THEY?!?!

[poopbox]

CIA Pop at his finest tbh:lol

[212094ever]

Tank commander _ieng

[mystargtr34]

Anyone of Scoot, Amen Thompson, Nick Smith out the guards will be good for the Spurs tbh

[mystargtr34]

Nuggets starters 21-26 from the field before that Gordon heave at the end.

[SPURt]

Nuggets are playing great basketball. They put up 70 with great passing and solid play. Most of the time I’ve seen a 70 point half, it feels like the other team is hitting ridiculous shots, but these guys are just executing the Spurs to death.

[slick'81]

Tank on!?

[tim_duncan_fan]

I hate to criticize him, but Keldo has got to learn to put pressure on the defense. He's too content to just hang out and let Jakob, Tre Jones, and KBD shoot

[tim_duncan_fan]

OK keldon is on Team Tank

[itzsoweezee]

Sochan is not good on defense. Hope he eventually lives up to his supposed reputation

[GB20]

The spurs really need a real point guard.

[John B]

The ball is not moving well like the earlier. Keldon settling for outside dhots

[SPURt]

Bones is making the Josh “The Flash” Primo look like an even worse pick

[KingKev]

These losses are good for the tank but also for sniffers who don’t actually
follow the NBA. Lessons to be learned.

[RC_Drunkford]

Bones is making the Josh “The Flash” Primo look like an even worse pick

hey don‘t tell these sniffers the truth. The Spurs could‘ve never known that Primo likes to show his dick in public and everybody picked after Primo is not an NBA player anyway :lol

[Jordan Jackson]

Bones shitting all over the Spurs felt kind of personal.

Jokić pretty much sleepwalked his way through this game and still managed to put up 20/10 in 27 mins.

[spurs1990]

Two page game thread. ST mirroring the SBC center

[poopbox]

Tall Tony Parker is back on the menu boys :hungry:

[Mr. Body]

The sort of game where you're like, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't have traded our All-Star point guard for nothing."

[SpurPadre]

Keep it up, Spurs. Tanking for the greater good.

[BackHome]

Anyone of Scoot, Amen Thompson, Nick Smith out the guards will be good for the Spurs tbh

Yeah it would be nice to get Wemb. but to be honest a lot of people here are sleeping on those 3 cats as I think each one could be really special.

[siraulo23]

Timberwolves and now Nuggets shooting 60% plus fg, got damn

Where was Bones Hyland picked? What year draft? He showboated a bit too much for my liking, but made us look like fools.

Darn. Thanks. That draft was terrible for us :(.

[stephen jackson]

Basse is good

[tim_duncan_fan]

One of the funniest things about this team is how Tre Jones can be moving slow as hell and then fall like he had the momentum of a mack truck.

[tim_duncan_fan]

We are the only team that tries to run the offense primarily through someone other than our best players. Every time you look up it's Poeltl, Tre Jones, or Josh Richardson trying to make the scoring play.

Annoying.
