[heyheymymy]

Hope everyone is having a great holiday.

Really wanted to say how much I enjoy everyone's discussion here and glad to be a part of ST. Looking forward to a big 2023 for the team and hope you and your families have a great new year as well.

I've learned so much about the game the financials and the players from Spurs Talk posters and really appreciate all the informative takes. And thanks to LJ for keeping things running with solid grades threads and interesting articles. Hats off to ST.

Nah, don't mention it.

[heyheymymy]

Says tonight's game has been delayed 30 minutes thank you for your patience por vida

[heyheymymy]

shit is the venue on lockdown? reddit says they won't let people into their sections and a canine unit is there. Take with a grain of salt not sure if that is a joke about our roster lol

[heyheymymy]

Stay Safe SA if this ends up being serious

[heyheymymy]

Also no injuries for Spurs

Kelly Olylnyk is out for Jazz

[heyheymymy]

Spurs stream just cut back on, Spurs fans look fine/safe and are in the seating areas

[slick'81]

NospursNo

[PhantomDashCam]

I would assume Sochan will check Lauri tonight (who’s likely the Most Improved thus far and an all-star reserve). Should be a nice litmus test.

[PhantomDashCam]

Watching the Rockets V Bulls while filling in time. Best I’ve seen Sengun play. Absolute domination thus far.

[slick'81]

Go rockets!

[Thomas82]

Right now it's looking like the tank might stall tonight.

[heyheymymy]

bran looks like his shot has locked in.

[MultiTroll]

Detroit +1 with 15 seconds left.
Vs Clippers.

Go Pistons!

[MultiTroll]

Fuck Pistons ahead by 14 with 2 minutes to go are now in OT.

They want it bad.

[barakz21]

Haven’t watched the Spurs’ last several games (work has been REAL bad), but is it just me or is Branham actually looking good? The games where I have seen him play, he seemed lost and unsure of where to go or what to do. This game at least, he looks confident and sure of himself.

Looks like that collapse is complete now.

He's turned the corner.

He has been much better/confident the last 4 games, including this

[Thomas82]

Not looking good for the tank tonight.

He’s been like that since a few games now.

[Barfunk]

They forgot to stick the post-its notes on the Spurs players' lockers tonight.

[Thomas82]

I guess this one is a rap.

[slick'81]

Spurs blow a chance to pick one up on the rockets. Lakers arent winning anytime soon either

[slick'81]

Spurs still in 4th. Only two games ahead of la,was,orl

[XDT76]

Now in 4th Q, they still have a chance to blow it.

[heyheymymy]

Malaki Branham just set a new career high points with 18

Previous NBA high was 14

[heyheymymy]

damn make it 20 for bran!

[Thomas82]

Spurs still in 4th. Only two games ahead of la,was,orl

It's looking like we blew this one.

[heyheymymy]

Zollins is so solid

[PhantomDashCam]

Devin going full And1 mixtape at times tonight :wow

[heyheymymy]

Dev is a star in the making

[Thomas82]

If we don't start trading away the players that raise our ceiling soon, we'll be on the outside the top 3 looking in on draft night.

[heyheymymy]

3 Spurs tonight with 20 pts or more (Bran, KJ, Dev)

[XDT76]

Dev is looking good for the past few games on D.

[heyheymymy]

Would be awesome if they coughed it up right here

down to a 5 point game 1:23 remains

[XDT76]

Zollins is so solid

He just killed the Utah come back

[Thomas82]

The Jazz waited too long to start their comeback. Hopefully the tank can get rolling again tomorrow night in OKC.

[Degoat]

Not gonna lie, Tre Jones has really impressed this year tbh I thought it was a joke when he was gonna be the starting PG but he’s been solid

[davi78239]

Dammit. Team tank loses tonight

[Barfunk]

Smh, Pistons blow a big lead to lose to the Clippers.

[SPURt]

Trey Jones with the tank buster

[heyheymymy]

Agreed Degoat

Tre Jones has totally crystalized into a complete player

[exstatic]

Smh, Pistons blow a big lead to lose to the Clippers.

We’re not falling below the Pistons. Charlotte might be out of reach, too. I think our floor could be 3rd.

[offset formation]

Smh, Pistons blow a big lead to lose to the Clippers.

Once their pick from last year went down for the season, I penciled them into one of the 3 spots. Shouldn't be hard to occupy one of those other two though given our roster. Pop needs to trade away any of our talent to secure one of those spots but they want 2 firsts for Poeltl. 1 for JRich. 1 for McB. Just take what you can get before we find ourselves in like 6th or 7th.

[Barfunk]

Yeah they'll be out of reach unless we can go on a big and or multiple losing streaks.

Agreed. We absolutely do not want a treadmill record.

[XDT76]

With Poeltl, Jones and Richardson playing for contract and Vassell for extension it's really quite difficult to be bottom 3.

And this is what could cost us potentially our next franchise player.

[slick'81]

And this is what could cost us potentially our next franchise player.

i mean were bad im just not sure top 3 bad. 6/7 sounds about right to me

[Mr. Body]

And this is what could cost us potentially our next franchise player.

You should have already gotten used to this fact.

[Thomas82]

You should have already gotten used to this fact.

Yeah, I'm already prepared for it.
