Game Thread: Bucks (10-1) at Spurs (5-7) November 11, 2022. | 7:00 PM CST

[TXstbobcat]

Spurs favored by 2 at home tonight.

ESPN currently listing Giannis and Jrue Holiday as out.

[MannyIsGod]

Coach Bud fucking up the tank.

[mo7888]

I really wanted to see Sochan guarding Giannis....

[John B]

Let’s Go!!!!! :flag::flag::flag:

[cd98]

We can still lose this. We just need to sit Vassel and Johnson. And probably Jakob too.

[Mr. Body]

A solidly drilled team with good players, but the Spurs should be able to beat them without Giannis.

[BatManu20]

Giannis en route to another MVP season tbh, especially with Middleton out for a while. He’ll surpass Duncan in MVP count if/when he does.

Spurs will win this one easily though tbh.

[Thomas82]

The Bucks seem to be punting this one.

Trap game :lol

[slick'81]

Of course the mvp sits

[poopbox]

Former spurs coach trying to fuck up the tank tbh :madrun

[scott]

Bassey eruption game incoming

[BillMc]

Spurs got this!

[heyheymymy]

MarJon Beauchamp was one of those names I did diligence on and kinda liked at #25 if we needed a guard/wing selection still by then but glad it worked out with Blake and Bran

[heyheymymy]

I'm wondering if Portis goes off with Greek out tonight

[heyheymymy]

obvs spurs killer tonight might be G Allen

[Thomas82]

Trap game :lol

It would be funny if we still lose.

[heyheymymy]

man that fiesta court looks so sick

[heyheymymy]

fuck the bucks

[BillMc]

Man my streams always have the other team's announcers....

[heyheymymy]

hell yeah love the NBA JAM Fiesta intro

hope KJ get a "he's on fire" tonight

Frooooom Downtown!

[KingKev]

Tonight’s city swag is niiiiice.

Fly as hell. Love the accents.

[heyheymymy]

wow that font is actually fine once you see it on the court somehow

teal fiestas are the real deal

[heyheymymy]

also love this space jam font spurs apparel shirts the fans have been spotted wearing

[LeBowen]

Wait, who's tanking here...

[heyheymymy]

man that Sochan corner 3 play comes up within the first few possessions every game

[scott]

Like the way the court looks, but still hate the font on the jerseys. 1st year Fiesta jerseys remain the best tbh

[BillMc]

Sochan can't shoot but he can do literally everything else in the game. He gets a shot and he'll be a star.

[lefty20]

Helps that Bucks are missing their best offensive weapons, but it's nice to see us not give up 40 pts in the 1st q.

[heyheymymy]

forgot about spurkiller Ibaka

[BillMc]

Is Lopez's brother still playing somewhere?

[heyheymymy]

starting to kinda think Doug was just never healthy last season

he looks so solid this year and correct me if im wrong but I seem to recall Doug sorta going out with an injury, coming back, going out again. looks like he only play 51 games last year

[Dejounte]

Bassey is fucking everywhere man

[heyheymymy]

Bass nearly crossing the threshold of min sample size necessary to start really believing

just passes the eye test so easily

[heyheymymy]

lol 76ers

[KingKev]

Sean Elliott comparing DV to Spree.

I kinda see it and I fking love Latrell Sprewell. Compliment for sure and I don’t rock spinners.

[BillMc]

Budd with a serious beer gut. Milwaukee man....

[LeBowen]

By the time Collins recovers, Bassey will be out full-time backup C.

Thanks, Glenn.

[Chomag]

Is Pop trying to turn Jeremy into a pg wth? Lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Keldon three point shot is so smooth and pleasing to watch, high arcing with the subtle leg kick.

[John B]

Paul Pressey kinda look like Blake, same stand

[emanueldavidginobili]

I've actually seen Paul Pressey son Phil play a couple of times when he was in prep school in Massachusetts, kid was small and electric.

[John B]

Is Pop trying to turn Jeremy into a pg wth? Lol

I’ve mentioned before his college coach made him do some PG duties. He can rim run and blow by slower bigs tbh

[heyheymymy]

man make the 3 fiesta kits our primary options- black, white and teal fiesta jerseys

and then make the regular silver and blacks the alternate jersey

[emanueldavidginobili]

Doug looks like me in 5th grade always traveling before putting the ball down, get it together Jesus lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

Give Bassey a full contract now. Even the give and go to Keldon was great IQ just a high pass from Keldon and even the roll before that Doug missed him but he rolled with force and was open.

[jermaine]

Bassy thou

[objective]

Bassey carrying the number and spirit of Ian, giving Popeneezer Scrooge the chance to redeem himself.

Spree was just out of this world fast. 99 percent of the time he was the fastest guy on the court. I don't see Devin with that quick first step like Spree had. Devin to me reminds me more of Alan Houston.

[daslicer]

This game has been fun to watch so far. Spurs will have a chance to win a lot of games this year playing bad teams. Bucks without Jrue, Middleton, Giannis are a lottery team so this game is probably a game the Spurs will win.

[Chomag]

Budd sabotaging our tank

[heyheymymy]

this is such sugar rush data the entire core of MKE is missing and the spurs are playing against mannequins lol

sure looks pretty though wow what fun ball movement tonight for SA

[heyheymymy]

lol Jrue in the Velvet Underground shirt

[Thomas82]

This game is going exactly the way it's supposed to.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Bassey has to look for that mid range shot on that last possession I know the play is for handoffs but gotta try to be a threat there, that is where Collins has been good.

[heyheymymy]

Romeo does so many smart little things throughout a game

[heyheymymy]

21 point spurs lead trimmed to single digits

[Barfunk]

Still giving up leads in a blink

[Mr. Body]

Refs seem really awful this game.

Let's see if the team can bring it home, but it's looking ragged.

[DeRozan m8]

In a league that is a travelling league...you're fucking kidding

[Mr. Body]

In a league that is a travelling league...you're fucking kidding

Calls have beeen that way all night, just flabbergasting.

[poopbox]

Coach Bud a straight asshole for fucking up the tank

[poopbox]

Has Poeltl ever bent his knees and back at the same time in his career? Every pass that is below his waist he never gets

[Barfunk]

Tank-off. Historic Cinderella championship run reactivated.

[Thomas82]

Coach Bud a straight asshole for fucking up the tank

Cosign!!

[rascal]

A gift win against a team where it should have been a loss.

These gift wins are going to hurt when the Spurs are trying to land a franchise player in next year's draft.

[Dejounte]

Woooo great win. breakout game for Bassey for sure

[scott]

Bassey straight up baiting dudes into blocked shots :lol

[Thomas82]

Especially if we get too many of them.

[BillMc]

Victory!!!:lobt:

[Ocotillo]

What happened to Branham? Is he not over himself? No garbage minutes for him.

[Dex]

Vegas must really be loving this season.

[Devi8or]

I think he got sent to Austin if I remember correctly

[Ocotillo]

Never mind, he was on the inactive list.

[Mr. Body]

Charles Bassey, man.

[Dejounte]

Really enjoyed Sochan on the fast break tonight. He was so quick with the ball

[BillMc]

Our ole friend TXstbobcat with the winning Game thread! :bobo

Spree was fun to watch
Especially when he caught fire

Win moves us into 9th in the west

Win moves us into 9th in the west

Why not 3 peat our 10 seed championship?

Crazy how much dj was holding back Keldon and Devin , addition by subtraction

It was clear from before the start of the season that the Spurs weren't loooking to outright tank, tbh. I remember arguing with my good ole pal itzsoweezee about it:


I won't say with certainty what the Spurs are or aren't doing - but it's IMO clearly closer to a rebuild than it is to a tank.

And you'll very quickly realize the difference once the Spurs start playing against actually tanking teams. Hope you don't join the B&M'g over them "not tanking hard enough" once that happens, tbh.

As much as I'd love Victor or Scoot on this team (and I don't think we've crossed some damning "winning bridge" yet or close to it), it's beyond evident that the Pop-led Spurs just ain't about a losing culture and dreams of 0-82 seasons, for better and worse.

And tbh, seeing how they manage to keep finding diamonds in any patch of dirt, with the new "Dynamic Wing Duo" of KJ & DV blossoming... Can you really argue the results?

[Dejounte]

Tbh it isn’t just the culture that’s causing these guys to win. If Pop was the coach of the Rockets rn, the results wouldn’t be that much different. The Spurs have put together a group of guys who are talented, have no ego, and are willing to listen. There’s absolutely no reason the Rockets or even Detroit shouldn’t have better records right now. The theoretical talent they should have should be through the roof. Those players and coaches try just as much as any team tries. There’s still time to turn it around but so far, not good.

[rascal]

The front office is tanking, the players are doing better than expected and are not tanking.

[boutons_deux]

Popovich on Sochan: "Jeremy doesn't have any fear. He's not impressed with the NBA."

I remember an interview with Manu where he was asked.

Who did he fear in the NBA?

Manu looked confused, perplexed and quickly said

"I don't fear anybody"

Paraphrase in totality

[Slippy]

man that fiesta court looks so sick

It did..

[Slippy]

The front office is tanking, the players are doing better than expected and are not tanking.

It seems the players and coach arnt on the same page as the FO.

[Dex]

It seems the players and coach arnt on the same page as the FO.

Stupid people who have spent their entire lives earning a spot in the NBA (WHICH ISN'T FUCKING EASY) choosing to be competitive. What is up with that?

Pop is literally throwing out some of the craziest lineups he can dream up...but this team keeps pushing, and I love that.
