Game Thread: Spurs (14-40) @ Raptors (25-30) Wednesday Feb. 8, 2023 6:30PM CT 2:30AM RIGA

[lefty20]

Anunoby & Porter Jr are listed out for the Raps.





Vassell, Sochan, Langford & Jones are listed out. Keldon is questionable for the Spurs.

[BatManu20]

Raptors are low-key tanking right now tbh. Hopefully Keldon is out too.

[slick'81]

NoSpursNo:nope

[scott]

Good game to lose by 40 to give the Raptors the confidence they need to be buyers.

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[Dverde]

If they play J Rich it means they can’t even get a 2nd rounder for him.

[KingKev]

To anyone with half a brain this has been known since last trade deadline.

I find it more comical that I’m indifferent between Keldon, Vassell and JRich getting 20 shots/30 mins a game. Potato. Potatoe.

Battle of the Franchises Kawhi Fucked Over

Battle of the Franchises Kawhi Fucked Over

I won't really said that at least he helped both to a championship at reasonable pay. The LAC on the other hand.......

[Thomas82]

It would be a miracle for us to lose and the Hornets, Pistons, and Rockets all win tonight.

[slick'81]

Come on spurs! Remember what you're losing for

Battle of the Franchises Kawhi Fucked Over

:lmao As much as I hate Scumbag, he gave the Craptors everything and didn't owe them anything.

[spurraider21]

all the tankathon teams playing today. pistons currently down double digit to cavs. hornets slim lead against wizards. rox havent started their game yet vs kings

No Spurs No!

[XDT76]

Branham is being bad today

[LeBowen]

Blake looking good.

[heyheymymy]

Damn Blake with a heady stretch of play

[tmtcsc]

Does Wesley do anything but chuck 3’s & fuck up? He needs to go.

[Dex]

Does Wesley do anything but chuck 3’s & fuck up? He needs to go.

Dude is a 19 year old rookie and has played less than 120 minutes in the NBA.

Maybe you should give him some time to figure it out

[Mr. Body]

Malaki cold as penguin shit.

[slick'81]

Long as we go shits in the 4th were golden

[Thomas82]

Looks like the Raptors are having trouble taking control of the game and putting it out of reach.

[SPURt]

Not for nothing, the Raptors are good at developing talent. VanVleet and Trent are great for their draft position. Was Danny Green and Patty the last players the Spurs had that played significant minutes and weren’t drafted in the first round?

Well, if the Spurs are really, really, really, really bad, then the Raptors are really, really bad.

They traded for Gary Trent.

[XDT76]

KJ @ -13 and KBD @ 13 for +/-

[Mr. Body]

Who the fuck is Dalano Banton.

[Degoat]

Who the fck is Delano Banton? Lol

[SPURt]

They traded for Gary Trent.
You’re right! That’s Toronto unloaded scrubalicious, Norman Powell (last game again at the Spurs excluded)

[tim_duncan_fan]

With two raptors literally on the floor and the spurs collecting the defensive rebound, you'd think they move faster than 1.5 miles per hour to score in a 5 on 3. But no. They are dumb and slow as rocks.

Irritating.

[XDT76]

Det, Cha and Spurs literally gave up in 2nd half of games

[heyheymymy]

dude dumping thad was a fucking miracle

[spurraider21]

branham cant be having games with 20+ minutes and only scoring 4 points tbh

[SPURt]

Tre Jones has gotten some minutes.
This is true. I’m curious to see what happens with him if the Spurs get more competitive.

[SPURt]

dude dumping thad was a fucking miracle
:lmao He has been terrible, yikes

[XDT76]

is Spurs showing of JR and McD? So late in 4Q we are not playing the rookies?

[SPURt]

PJ called Boucher’s purple shoes “lovely purple slippers” haha

[poopbox]

branham cant be having games with 20+ minutes and only scoring 4 points tbh
Not only can he but we need him to. We coming into the home stretch of the tank race. I wish we could bring Parker back to fuck some wives and really send this team into a tailspin tbh.

This is year one of the tank. All we should care about is losing. We shouldn't care about player growth out of anyone except for Sochan, and he has shown it, and Devin, and he has shown it. I wish we could legit lose ever single game we play the rest of the year. I'd prefer Branham to score 2 points in 36 minutes tbh.

Goddamn what a braindead take.

[Mr. Body]

Toronto coach challenges a call with 90 seconds to go and up 12. Just... let the game die, dummy.

[KingKev]

Protect Keldon as tank commander for the next 2-3 years. He is solidifying our future every minute he plays. A team best -25 currently.

A solid gold medal olympian and borderline AS!!!

[Dex]

Another L in the column

[SPURt]

That 28% from 3 was something to behold

[XDT76]

Wesley penetration in half court set is terrible

[gilmor]

I won't really said that at least he helped both to a championship at reasonable pay. The LAC on the other hand.......

Spurs championship wasn't solely dependent on that fuckhead.

[TekXX]

I remember the days when this thread had multiple pages.

[Dex]

I remember the days when this thread had multiple pages.

I remember the days when the Spurs won 70-80% of our games.

Those days are gone for now.

Don't expect people to jump onto a forum to talk about a team who is specifically choosing to lose

[Dex]

I've also noticed that during this tank....suddenly a lot of the trolls, haters, whatever you want to call them...are suddenly gone.

Take of that what you will.

[JeffDuncan]

Who the fck is Delano Banton? Lol


6’9” point guard. I don’t know how slowly he moves, or how big his head is.

[Thomas82]

Det, Cha and Spurs literally gave up in 2nd half of games

Eric Gordon single-handedly gave away the game for the Rockets tonight.

[BatManu20]

Rockets with the next-level tank move by completely giving that game away at the very end after leading all game.

[XDT76]

Spurs championship wasn't solely dependent on that fuckhead.

I did not said that I said helped, he at least did enough to warrant a FMVP regardless of narrative. We can dislike him all we want but we cannot deny his role in the 2014 championship.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Why has the Spurs' defense been atrocious for about five years?

What are the reasons for bad defense, and why does it take so long to fix them?

[Barfunk]

I agree. Kawhi was pretty instrumental in that finals. I just simply look at it as two different people. That Kawhi = good. The Kawhi that got sucked into the vortex of unkie Denny and effed the Spurs = bad. The same came be applied to players like Robert Horry and Stephen Jackson.

[slick'81]

Enjoy tor again poodle:(
