lol Tracy Morgan laughing and joking with Brunson during shoot around

[exstatic]

Vassell out.

[LeBowen]

Keldon is actually a poor shooter. Most or his misses are so bad, even from the FT line.
Good shooters rarely miss badly, he has like one airball per game.

[slick'81]

Magic up 13 on okc early

[slick'81]

Damn,vassell has missed 3/4 games

[SPURt]

J Rich going for glory and getting erased by Randle is peak 2022-23 Spurs

Collins went 3/3 then in the doghouse.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Vassell sore knee has been bothering him the entire year and hasn't gone away. He first missed a game for it on October 26 and is still missing games over two months later for a sore knee. Sort of concerning.

[LeBowen]

Jakob's FTs have improved drastically.

[JPB]

WTF! 11-0 run...

[LeBowen]

Fucking Thibs is so useless.

Stanley earning himself a long term deal.

3&D get paid in today's NBA. But if it's not a fluke, that's good find tbh.

Wtf are the spurs doing:cry

[slick'81]

Get jrich the fck outta here!!:madrun

[lefty20]

3 competitive quarters is fine. It's time to worry if we're still in this game in the 4th.

[SPURt]

It’s crazy Stanley Johnson was a warm body signing after the season started.

[MultiTroll]

Orlando's gonna get it done.

Fucking Grandpa. Here we go 4th qtr.

Great close, nice shot Randle.

[tonight...you]

Wtf are the spurs doing:cry
Players play.

[MultiTroll]

The thought of getting Wama and further exposing me:

[JPB]

Brunson, my man.

[Jordan Jackson]

Wtf are the spurs doing:cry

The same thing they’ve been doing the last 3 seasons. Earning participation badges with role players.

Anyway - this Nets/Bulls game is pretty good.

[JPB]

Ridcharson with the smart, late tanking plays.

[MultiTroll]

KJ guarding Brunson on the perimeter? :lol

Excellent

[MultiTroll]

Uglier?

Randle or Pat Bev?

[MultiTroll]

Knicks do not give the ball to dumbfuck Randle. :madrun

[JPB]

Please, no!

[JPB]

lol

[SPURt]

LOL

[MultiTroll]

Sweet!
Another out of bounds play call special by Granpa!

[scott]

How are the Spurs this bad at inbounding the ball? Sochan on team tank?

[SPURt]

That’s embarrassing

[Leetonidas]

That was a really quick 5 second call

[Robz4000]

Great loss :tu

[JPB]

Same play, please.

[MultiTroll]

:cheer :pop: :cheer

[Barfunk]

An hour for 5 seconds

[Leetonidas]

:lmao Spurs

Tre Jones fucking sucks

[tonight...you]

Lol you weak asses.
Game done.
Relax your collective sphincters.

[SPURt]

I wonder what it’s like for McBuckets to be in his prime yet being a backup on a bottom team? He’s not gonna get better and he doesn’t have enough talent to get wins.

[TimDunkem]

Well played. Almost believed they were trying to win for a minute there.

[slick'81]

Fckn whew. Picked up a game on orlando

[Barfunk]

12-26 :lobt2:

We needed these couple of losses in a row since we'll probably end up spanking the tanking Pistons at home. Also gotta keep our distance from the Orlando Magic. 4th worst is what's realistic for the time being.

[exstatic]

Vassell sore knee has been bothering him the entire year and hasn't gone away. He first missed a game for it on October 26 and is still missing games over two months later for a sore knee. Sort of concerning.

(He’s being held out of games where he could make a difference)

He played just fine with no issues last game. I predict he plays in any game where we are huge underdogs, like a spate of the ones coming up. No one on the broadcast crew even gave it a second mention.

[exstatic]

App or cable? If it’s cable, reboot your box. That clears like 80% of issues.

[Barfunk]

Double post.

[exstatic]

Keldon is actually a poor shooter. Most or his misses are so bad, even from the FT line.
Good shooters rarely miss badly, he has like one airball per game.

He soundly outplayed Julius Randle.

[Chomag]

Dang we suck....but this is good!

[The Truth #6]

The late game plays don’t seem to be called by Pop but one of the young assistants, which seems like a wise, clever choice.

[slick'81]

Are we seriously saying the Spurs intentionally fcked up the inbounds to lose? Just making sure

[Thomas82]

The Knicks tried like hell to give this one away.

great L,tbh

[Mr. Body]

Good night in the NBA.

Orlando wins
Detroit wins
LAL wins
Minnesota wins

Detroit beats GSW away, which is great. Fuck the Warriors.

Minny and Lakers need to win because Wolves' pick is Utahs and we don't want the Pels to get a good Lakers swap.

Next game against Detroit at home would be huge, and could potentially get Spurs to 3rd place in L column.

im thoroughly expecting spurs to win but a L and move closer to 3rd would be ideal

Pistons have won 3 of their last 5 games. And the buzzer beater tonight got their momentum going. Bogdanovic has always been Spurs killer, Duren could have strong game against Jak. Next game against Pistons is a must lose game

Pop let a rookie, who played a pretty poor game overall, inbound the ball under 10 seconds on the road in MSG. Draw your own conclusions.

Rookie or not... we're talking about NBA players, not 10 year old boys.

Correct but that's why I previously said "if that's not a fluke" cos the Stanley we got isn't career Stanley so far. that's an upgraded one.

[Mr. Body]

It's not that hard to inbound a ball and even easier to count to five, although a clear problem was the terrible play that was drawn up.

On a sidenote great win by the Pistons. Fuck the Warriors I'm hoping they don't repeat this year.

They very well could. The league is terrible right now.

[JeffDuncan]

The play was well designed, and the play itself worked. It was a double screen for McDermott, to get him open for a shot from the wing. It did that.

What screwed things up was that Keldon had to move first, to initiate the action, and he was way too slow to get going. I don’t think he was even looking to see when the ref handed the ball to Sochan. Also, there was a quick count, more like four seconds.

Sochan looked bad, with the ball still in his hands, but it was Keldon’s fault that the play was late. Timing is everything.

No matter. Under the circumstances the game was a good L.

[TimDunkem]

No one was really upset about it. Then, on the final play, it looked like KJ was really taking his time.

Perfectly thrown game.

[LeBowen]

He soundly outplayed Julius Randle.

I didn't say that he's not playing well, he was great last night. But his shot is so inconsistent.
Sky high arc and it's almost always either a swish or a bad miss. He's so much better when his first option is to attack the paint.

[daslicer]

They very well could. The league is terrible right now.

It's always a possibility but it's only happened once in NBA history where a team won a title without having a top 4 seed in their conference which was the Rockets in '95. Warriors I don't think will finish in the top 4 and will end up having to play every round without HCA. If they do pull it off, it will just show what a joke this league is right now.

Thankfully they're a horror show away from home. With Curry, though, anything's possible. Who's actually good in the West? Denver, Memphis, and possibly New Orleans. All mediocrities during normal seasons and completely inexperienced.

Even with all those teams being inexperienced it's hard for me to imagine the Warriors going every round without losing at their arena. They will eventually lose a playoff game on their home court and that's when I believe they will get cooked in a 7 games series since they are an awful road team.
