Spurs +13.5

[exstatic]

No, Spurs, No!

[slick'81]

Moral victories,silver linings and all that good shit incoming

[heyheymymy]

Spurs continue the descent to 14 percent

[slick'81]

Pistons and houston playing tonight

[heyheymymy]

Really, looking at the standings, team tank needs to chill.

Spurs are like 1-3 games away from the bottom with the bottom 3 slots all guaranteeing the same 14%, with tons of season left to go on L-streaks, with the team's starting SG out till "a little bit after the all star break"

Gonna get more than enough opportunities for L's

[PhantomDashCam]

Big fan of these back to back games against the same team (ideally with the same personnel taking the court too).
Sochan was handily outplayed against JJJ, looking forward to seeing how he adjusts.

Not that it needs to be stated but Desmond Bane is an absolute weapon. Wonder how close the Spurs were to taking him over Vassell? IIRC, timvp said there was some serious discussions about making him the guy back in 2020.

No knock on Vassell but would’ve been great to have both.

[slick'81]

NoSpursNo:nope

[Thomas82]

Pistons and houston playing tonight

I'm not too confident in either of them.

[Thomas82]

J Morant is playing tonight, so hopefully that helps.

[slick'81]

we aren't winning bruh. But if we can stay within 10 we win the day

[Leetonidas]

Did bill land die or what? Feel like I haven't heard him call a game in ages

[lefty20]

Sochan :wow

[Barfunk]

Sochan with the peanut butter and jam!

[LeBowen]

I love Jeremy, has some nasty this bunch of nice guys needs.

[Mr. Body]

This way that players like Morant and SGA can hang in the air initiating contact and flailing for a foul - and getting them - needs to go away. SGA gets 30% of his points at the line. Morant is not far behind. These aren't fouls. Jumping, falling, is not a foul.

[slick'81]

Pistons up8 on the tpups in the 3rd

[SPURt]

Wow, Stanley Johnson at the death

[pad300]

I don't know who fixed Stanley Johnson's 3 pt shot, or how, but if it stays fixed, the young man is making a bunch of money this summer...

[SPURt]

What a start to the 2nd :downspin:

[heyheymymy]

Desmond Bane is the real deal

[slick'81]

Pistons up 13

[exstatic]

Desmond Bane has freakishly short arms. Like you can see it and notice during game action. If players are ‘long’, he’s ‘short’. If he’s 6’5”,his wingspan can’t be more than6’3”.

[Maddog]

Per multiple sources 6'4" wingspan
Good eye

[slick'81]

Go pistons! Up 19 in the 4th....great L for the spurs tonight

[SPURt]

Bonner just called Brooks “a burlap bag full of bobcats” lol

[slick'81]

Giving up damn near 80 at the break.

[MultiTroll]

-14 halftime Ill take it.

Pistons won, altho catching them seems impossible.

[SPURt]

Not sure if everyone gets to watch the Memphis halftime, but they had Ziaire Williams play a shooting game with a little girl on these tiny hoops. Before it started, I was curious to see if he’d purposely play bad to make it close or crush her. He murdered her so bad the commentator said “come on man” lol

[slick'81]

Spurs pull a game within 3rd worst record :clap

[slick'81]

Love the way jeremy fills the stat sheet

[slick'81]

Dammit mcdermoot! Not now

[JPB]

Tought too but they've been playing "better" after a 3-15 start or something like that. If spurs lose (fingers crossed), they would just have 1 more win than Detroit... Confident for bottom 4 anyway.

It’s about the losses. We’re FIVE losses behind them., and they’ve played more games.

[offset formation]

Notify Houston, Detroit, and Charlotte one of them needs to start winning cause Pop is gonna have this team finish 4th or 5th.

Detroit I'd closest to us inthe standings but they've already played 45 games to our 41. And they've already lost 33 games to our 28. They're keeping their eye on the prize.

[slick'81]

Just lose baby

[JPB]

It’s about the losses. We’re FIVE losses behind them., and they’ve played more games.

First of all, after tonight that's 4 more losses... And precisely, Detroit have played 3 more games, dude.

If spurs lose 2 or 3 of these 3 games thay have less, that's just 2 or even 1 more losses for Detroit.

[heyheymymy]

Yeah looks like my math was off earlier. It's more like 3-5 wins or so to get in the bottom 3 from HOU CHA and DET

Yes, which means they're losing at a faster clip than we Our best chance will be catching Charlotte, imo.. And we will undoubtedly win more down the stretch.

Not sure, spurs have gained ground over Detroit over the last few games. Again, spurs are just one victory over and 4 less under Detroit but with 3 more games for the spurs to play who have a 0.317 record so far (losing 2 out of 3 basically)

So lose 2 out of those 3 games less you have over Detroit, and you're 1 victory over and 2 losses under (1 loss if you lose 3 out of 3) a Detroit team who started 3-15 and is 9-18 since (or simething close), contrary to the spurs who started strong before collapsing.

[heyheymymy]

Spurs cut MEM lead to 3

with 2:15 to play in the 4th

[slick'81]

Way to complete for that L boys!!!

[ace3g]

Spurs reminding teams "look how close this game is and we don't have Wembanyama yet..."

[heyheymymy]

DET wins, SAS loses. I hope HOU wins tonight too.

[slick'81]

DET wins, SAS loses. I hope HOU wins tonight too.

dont get greedy:lol

[Mr. Body]

Hoston gets leads sometimes but collapses even worse than the Spurs.

[heyheymymy]

damn HOU is so miserable.

Sengun with his first career triple double tonight 10/10/10 so far

[slick'81]

still rather have jeremy but damn i wanted sengun sooo badly

[Thomas82]

They had a 1-point lead at the end of 3 quarters and went on to lose by 20.

[heyheymymy]

HOU was down 10ish most game but took a 1 pt lead 95-94 or something like that only to immediately throw the ball away and then shamelessly allow an alley oop on the other end. The alley oop was so poorly defended I thought there was a stoppage in play for a sec.

[XDT76]

Even if we lose all remaining games, it is likely Houston still remain as the worst team in the West.

and thats ok. We only need top3

[Rocalcio]

Not the same draft and not the same position, so we could have had both.
