Pelicans (13-8) at Spurs (6-16) December 2, 2022 | 7:00 PM CT

[John B]

Spurs: Blake Wesley (Out — Knee), Charles Bassey (Out — Two-Way), Dominick Barlow (Out — Two-Way), Jeremy Sochan (Out — Quad), Jakob Poeltl (Out — Knee), Doug McDermott (Doubtful — Ankle), Josh Richardson (Doubtful — Ankle), Romeo Langford (Probable — Back)

Pelicans: Brandon Ingram (Out — Toe), Herb Jones (Out — Ankle), Kira Lewis Jr. (Out — On Assignment), E.J. Liddell (Out — Knee), Dereon Seabron (Out — Two-Way), Naji Marshall (Probable — Competition Reconditioning), CJ McCollum (Probable — Competition Reconditioning)


The Spurs are 4th in the L column. With no real Center manning the paint (Poeltl injury, Bassey back to reality G-League assignment), Zion could go for 50 pts tonight.

Brick for Vic! :clap

Glad to see Bassey back in G-League tbh. He could use a nice stretch of dominating games to get a confidence boost and get on the normal Spurs development trajectory. He is in a good place on the developmental path, just needs some time in the system and a little G-league seasoning.

[SPURt]

Zion’s gotta be rock hard in anticipation of this game

[Leetonidas]

It's ok we're not tanking guys

[slick'81]

Good beatdown incoming....GospursGo

[LeBowen]

Not even Pop is bothering to show up, we'll actually get those top3 odds at this pace.

Rockets game on Thursday will be a big test. :lol

But all those teams seem to be taking games off good teams here and there, while we're making sure it doesn't happen.
Sitting players based on matchups.

Pop is out tonight for the PelicansNBA game vs the #spurs. He had a minor medical procedure and won’t coach the next 2 games for San Antonio. Brett Brown will coach instead.

[lefty20]

Gave up less than 30 pts in the 1st q. That's nice for a change.

[lefty20]

Vassell hoopin out there. I guess he can do it for 1 more quarter, then we gotta brick for Vic in the 4th.

[Thomas82]

Up by 3 at the half!! :wow

[slick'81]

Still plenty of time to spur it up out there

[SPURt]

This team can go from 0 to dog poop in seconds

[XDT76]

Terrible offense horrible shooting percentage.

[slick'81]

10 straight losses!?

[spurraider21]

I will always be a Spurs fan but there is just nothing to talk about this year for them. Every game we know they are going to try to lose. The games are very uneventful. I have a rule where I stop watching a Spurs' game once they get down by 20 or more. It's just a waste of time plus when you are older you value your time much more outside of work. I don't want to waste a few hours watching a crappy product. I'm still a Spurs fan since I can't ever root for a different team but emotionally, I'm not invested in watching them a lot until they can become a decent team

[Thomas82]

10 straight losses!?

Tied for the 2nd longest streak in team history.

[sananspursfan21]

I love the Spurs but I just can’t find much to be interested in this season. It’s been a chore watching the games I have. Bring on June ‘23 soon please! This season is a snooze fest

[Jordan Jackson]

Bret Brown understood the assignment.

Zion’s passing is really impressive. If he stays healthy - big if - Pelicans seem to be putting the pieces together for a potential championship run pretty soon. Hope the Lakers get their shit together. Conveying a high pick to the Pelicans would not be good for the Spurs division.

Lakers win! Hornets also win! Wonderful night all around

The Rockets beat the Suns too. That makes it an even better night.

[Thomas82]

We're only 1 game behind Orlando for having the worst record in the NBA.

[GAustex]

No Spurs No!

We're only 1 game behind Orlando for having the worst record in the NBA.

Bottom 4 get equal chance at number 1.

[Arcadian]

I guess the Monstars stole Keldon Johnson's talent :(

[SpurPadre]

Bottom 4 get equal chance at number 1.

No, bottom 3. 4th worst has a 12.5% chance.

[spurs1990]

It’s beneficial to also have the worst record. You’re guaranteed no worse than the 5th pick should misfortune strike and your combos don’t come up for the 1-4 drawings. 3rd worst record gets you same odds but you could drop to 7th

[slick'81]

Im believe when we start dropping games to the bottom feeders-hou,orl,det etc

[Thomas82]

Bottom 4 get equal chance at number 1.

Actually the 4th team gets a 12.5% chance, but I was just pointing out that Orlando was only a game worse than us.

[JPB]

Charity post.

No wonder they lost to looney tunes and a 90s ballhog.
