[MultiTroll]

I know the game is Thursday night.
Just soo stoked to see Pop continue and guide this team to Wama.

[slick'81]

These last few games are our playoffs

[Goob]

Ah yes another Spurs game is upon us...:drunk

cross fingers we can keep our lottery win streak going.

[KingKev]

Looks like Mavs basically at full strength. Sochan and Tre Jones are DTD. Should be an easy loss.

Looking forward to next weeks B2B vs the Rockets. It’s like our own mini play-in tourney. Must see tv.

[John B]

Kyrie and Luka combined score = 100 pts

143-107 mavs

NOspursNO:nope

[spurs10]

Well this doesn't look like it will even be close. I'm going with 148-109 because Kyrie and Luka will sit most of the last quarter. Just reading about VW, Jeez Louise this is going be a tough draft to go through. Dirty Harry staring us down saying, "Do you feel lucky kid?"

top 2 or bust,there is no going back

[Goob]

I will watch as I am a glutton for punishment, but this could turn ugly quickly.

It'll be worth it if Malakai keeps cookin.

[Goob]

True enough friend.At this point, its just about getting these young guys some more experience, win or lose.

[TekXX]

I can't believe with a 15 game losing streak Houston is still out tanking us. That organization is truly shist.

[scott]

This has all the makings of Pop leading this team to a 5-2 start post all-star break. Be prepared for the worst.

By worst do you mean they start winning? Depends when Vassell will be back. As long as they lose both wins to Houston.

[ace3g]

Condensation on floor from ice under court causing delay.

[Leetonidas]

Did Pop just say Vassell might be back for the Indiana game?

[ace3g]

Did Pop just say Vassell might be back for the Indiana game?

Yes he did.

[ace3g]

Spurs will take one for the league and forfeit the game due to condensation.#wink (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23wink)

[Mr. Body]

Seems kind of cruel to make them resume the season. And then Dallas is so chintzy they can't even provide an adequate floor. Maybe just cancel everything going forward? Please?

[slick'81]

Just play in the parking lot and get this L over with

[Barfunk]

Let's keep that plummet going...

[Mr. Body]

No Sochan?

[Mr. Body]

Zollins is a nice player. Whether his future is in SA or elsewhere, he has talent.

[ace3g]

No Sochan?

Pop said he couldn't practice yesterday, so didn't want him playing tonight.

[ace3g]

Nice drive Malaki!!!

[stephen jackson]

Side show bob ?

[ace3g]

Barlow guarding Luka last 2 possessions.

[John B]

3 quick fouls for Barlow

[Mr. Body]

I just hate how contact is called for players driving to the hoop. If you fall down or flail and are above a certain star level, you get the call. No matter what.

[spurraider21]

not talking specifically about this game because we're still in the first half

but in branham's 2 previous games he's shot over 70% from the field. if his % is that high, then imo it means he's still being too selective and needs to get even more shots up

Ya - wouldn’t mind him getting a few more up for sure. Nothing is translating for Wesley since the injury. Not too surprising since he’s raw already and injury cant help, but it’s been a struggle. Glad to see him play some though.

i think wesley needs to go back to g-league. i'm usually a big proponent of letting the young guys get more run, trial by fire. i hated the primo pick and was very low on him (even before his departure), but last year i was getting upset that forbes was getting minutes at the expense of primo.

but wesley is clearly not an nba player right now.

[Leetonidas]

Branham continues to impress

[Thomas82]

Looking like the Spurs are trying to mount a comeback.

[John B]

Branham already with 14pts and still in the 2nd quarter. I like the way this kid gets baskets

[Mr. Body]

Branham is a beast, at least on one side of the court.

[Mr. Body]

F'n fngerroll for Brnham.

[Rocalcio]

It'll be worth it if Malakai keeps cookin.

He does, going for a career night once again.

[SPURt]

143-107 mavs
I thought you were being funny saying the Mavs could score 143. These fools are on pace to go over lol

[JPB]

Last year's draft keeps getting better, with only 9 and 20.

[slick'81]

Branham looking over his shoulder waiting for vassell

[Mr. Body]

Branham just dies on screens. He's like a rabbit that gets picked up by the neck. He's done.

[MultiTroll]

Bullock and Hardaway exposing that D :clap

[Mr. Body]

LMAO these refs are fucked

[stephen jackson]

Malaki is a damn superstar

[Mr. Body]

LMAO these refs have no idea what's going on. If there's a play, they check what players are involved and call it on the lesser player.

[Mr. Body]

Does a league have worse refereeing than the NBA?

[td4mvp2k]

nice plays by the rook

[slick'81]

Branham needs to start from here on out

[Mr. Body]

Branham needs to start from here on out

He's so bad on defense.

Couple of bright moments there in 3rd for Wesley. Great to see. Pop fighting for him too :tu

NFL can be shit/crooked as fuck as well.

[GAustex]

https://images2.imgbox.com/28/e9/q58PYlfp_o.gif

Lol

[Barfunk]

Vassell being out has been such an inadvertent blessing for the tank. Hopefully the core guys are rewarded with a great 2023-2024 season.

[slick'81]

He's so bad on defense.

yea but hes good on O

[John B]

23 more games like this and counting down

NFL: Hold my beer

The NFL is nonsense to begin with, the rule book is just shit. They can only be on par with the NBA, where there's actually a real sensible sport to be played.

[horseshue]

Great defensive effort as usual. :lol

[John B]

Mavs look good with Kyrie now, with another great scorer to draw defender away from Luka. Both are finding open guys and those 3pt shooters are sinking them shots. But if they don’t go far, Mavs will be on borrowed time because Uncle Drew is heading Hollywood.

It was a great swing/risk, definitely, and given how lousy the Conference is, now's the time to do it.

[Rocalcio]

I’m really happy with Collins’ production as a starter.

[Atl Spur]

Branham’s gotta try harder on the defensive end, the tools are there.

[Goob]

I know we are young and vastly under experienced compared to other teams,hence our shit record.But just because you are young doesn't mean you have to lack effort and intensity on the defensive end.

I love my Spurs as much as the next person but the sooner this season comes to a close the better tbh.

Rough game but got to meet Keldon last night.

rare smile from Keldon nowadays. You know Keldon does not like losing. But it’s a good thing, just hoping they start competing next year.

If he do not like losing then he should go and get back his 3ptrs and play better defense.
