[rjv]

ugh, lakers fans will be all over the place. maybe the lakers will do us a solid and rest AD or lebron, or both.

[rascal]

Lakers in a back to back road game. Had a hard game/loss in Dallas last night.

Spurs have a shot to steal this game with a team thinking they will get an easy win.

[MVPCues]

Spurs win.

[rascal]

Spurs will be winning more games with Wemby at center now.

[itzsoweezee]

Who’s better, Austin Reaves or Vassell? Before the season, I would’ve said Vassell for sure. Not so sure now

[spurs1990]

Fake show opened as 2.5pt faves and now down to 1.5pt. They’re thinking James rests tonight?

[spurs10]

:flag:

[LeBowen]

Beating the Lakers would ease the suffering.

On the other hand, losing to Lakers with Lebron sitting out would be the last nail in the coffin.

[rascal]

Fake show opened as 2.5pt faves and now down to 1.5pt. They’re thinking James rests tonight?

I can see James sitting and the Lakers taking this game lightly and losing, then winning the next game with James playing.

[Spurs9]

Got free tickets to the game tonight, haven't been to a game in years. Lakers Spurs matchups are always wild in person, a W tonight would be crazy.

[Killakobe81]

Yup, we losing …
I argued they should have rested AD/Bron yesterday and played today

Yes, should have went hard the two games in San Antonio and get those easier wins.

[Robz4000]

:lol Lakers could rest the whole team and these Spurs would still find a way to lose

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

:lol Lakers could rest the whole team and these Spurs would still find a way to lose

Agreed. Resting AD and Lebron doesn't mean sh!t.

[pad300]

Agreed. Resting AD and Lebron doesn't mean sh!t.

The Austin Reaves revenge game, for not making him a $100M offer...

[spurs1990]

It's pro ball... losing streaks don't go on forever based on averages alone. No James and no Davis provides ample oppty for coach to add a win to his all-time record.

Beating LA without James would be hollow anyway... wouldn't be mad if SA is getting closer to Detroit these next two games.

[playbonner15]

Yup, we losing …
I argued they should have rested AD/Bron yesterday and played today
Lakers should drop 50 on Spurs and make Pop contemplate on his rotations

if lebron/davis sit and austin reaves leads the lakers to a win i dont think Mr. Body will ever log into this website again

Man where is Mr Body these days? I know he was polarizing but he was a regular here.

[spurraider21]

Man where is Mr Body these days? I know he was polarizing but he was a regular here.
his entire shtick was to be pompous about how everybody was underrating the spurs, so there's not much for him to say right now :lol

[heyheymymy]

Crazy thing is you expect the Raptors, Grizz, Bulls win etc but it'll end up being some matchup against a team like LAL that breaks the L streak granted most likely with some huge caveat like Bron inactive or AD foul trouble etc

[freetiago]

How the hell am I suppose to watch this. Not showing up on Bally sports and I don’t have NBATV

yikes, lol

well here's to hoping he is eventually correct but yeah this season has def taken a tragic detour

I remember backing off a post in that 'predict the first 10 games' thread myself but there were a lot of big claims going on and I had to temper my optimism.

he specifically said that anybody who would even consider taking the under on the spurs 30 W/L total was an idiot

It's going to be disgusting. Bunch of native San Antonian bandwagon-ass Laker fans. Empty seats all season all of a sudden will be a packed house filled with the aforementioned.

[heyheymymy]

Lebron out tonight.

tonight's the night

we can afford the W

[heyheymymy]

he specifically said that anybody who would even consider taking the under on the spurs 30 W/L total was an idiot

Wemby fever was a helluva drug

[Ocotillo]

Hopefully with the shooting performance against Houston we move toward the mean and have a good shooting night. Fingers crossed.

[spursparker9]

18 straight! let's go baby!

[Barfunk]

Doesn't matter who they sit, Pop's on purpose stare into space coaching style this year will always give us a chance to remain the tank. All aboard!

[slick'81]

Fck 18 lets gettthat W

[Barfunk]

Fck 18 lets gettthat W

I agree, lol. PLEASE! At least 1! Lol.

[heyheymymy]

lol at Sean Elliott on that Wemby baptism on Shen at the Rockets game.

"somebody needs a body bag"

Spurs are winning tonight.

Lakers are being stupid sitting LeBron.

I feel like the Spurs win tonight

I wonder which sniffer is going to come out of the woodwork.

There might be a Mr. Body sighting tonight.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Interested to see how Wemby does against AD probably his biggest test in his young career.

[heyheymymy]

Mr Glass down moments into the start of the game

[emanueldavidginobili]

Interested to see how Wemby does against AD probably his biggest test in his young career.
Nvm

[NASpurs]

:lol China Doll out of the season with that one

[NASpurs]

Nvm

:lol brutal

[heyheymymy]

AD did have that 40/20 game in Vegas

But why is he always such a ridiculously soft baby?

[heyheymymy]

to be fair that was a pretty nasty roll tweak

[heyheymymy]

W3MBY

[spursparker9]

AD is only 6'10?

Man he look like 7'1 tbh.

[heyheymymy]

That Wemby triple looked like a pure release

Thinking fatigue has been affecting his accuracy from range

[NASpurs]

Holy shit Sochan.. :lol

[heyheymymy]

lol Hachimura looks like phantom of the opera out there

[Knoxxx]

Spurs seem to be taking it to the basket more consistency which is good sign. Bad foul by Wemby on brow there.

[Knoxxx]

Wemby is overcoming a promising start with the typical boneheaded unnecessary long pass to the wrong team.

[heyheymymy]

Just more rookie mistakes by wemby

AD is a savvy star and knows to rip up on his shot through the defender

Wemby will learn in time who gets the whistle on those and adjust accordingly

[NASpurs]

Holy shit this team is so bad... I take back my prediction. :lol

[Silentbob]

spurs definitely going for 18th straight

[NASpurs]

Not only is this team bad and devoid of talent but also fucking retarded. :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Sad to see Julian so unsure of himself. Looks like a shell of himself.

[baseline bum]

Didn't even notice it until they said it in the pregame, but Malakai Branham is averaging 8PPG. How the fuck do you start in this league averaging 8PPG if you're not a Scottie Pippen level playmaker and defender?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Not even trying to cover Jones on the perimeter lol

[NASpurs]

Didn't even notice it until they said it in the pregame, but Malakai Branham is averaging 8PPG. How the fuck do you start in this league averaging 8PPG if you're not a Scottie Pippen level playmaker and defender?

Bryn started for two years and averaged 11 :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team is so bad holy hell.

[baseline bum]

Bryn started for two years and averaged 11 :lol

This is the era of ABA scoring though, and Forbes could at least shoot ~40% from the three and was an NBA level player. 8PPG from a starting guard who is a traffic cone on defense and has no playmaking skill whatsoever in 2023-24 feels unreal.

[baseline bum]

Can anyone name a worse starter ever on the Spurs than Branham?

[BatManu20]

Goddamn this team sucks ass man

[spurraider21]

tre abandoned reaves to collapse in the point for no reason whatsoever

[BatManu20]

Wemby calling for the ball in the paint and instead Vassell jacks a horrible, contested, long fadeaway jumper… can’t stand it.

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs are gonna lose by 50

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is a new age of basketball with all 3 point shooters and attempts and the Lakers are begging the Spurs to shoot threes lmao

[CorrectCrusader]

If wemby were on the nuggets they'd be the greatest team of all time. His defense is all time great even now. Too bad it's being wasted by sieves

[SpursWoman]

Yup, we losing …
I argued they should have rested AD/Bron yesterday and played today

Don't underestimate how bad the Spurs really are. :spin

[spurraider21]

wemby's not playing particularly well either

[baseline bum]

With Victor to the bench time to dip, I got better shit to do than watch this. Despite not having shit to do tonight. :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

The spurs hype squad is an affront to beauty and humanity

[Trainwreck2100]

With Victor to the bench time to dip, I got better shit to do than watch this. Despite not having shit to do tonight. :lol
how bour raymond green though

[Arcadian]

God, imagine Victor having Jokic as a teammate.

[freetiago]

All chucking. These NBA TV commentators saying a bunch of things everyone but Pop apparently knows

[bbarry]

Useless timeout. That easy bucket is par for the season.

[Silentbob]

how the heck did this team win 22 games last year.

[Tyronn Lue]

Spurs need to call the entire Austin G league team up.

[Barfunk]

VLAD interview in 15 years: "Pop told us to throw games"

[TheGreatYacht]

You just knew the useless timeout after an easy opponent basket was coming :lmao National TV Poop trying to show who runs this titanic. Wemby getting showed who’s boss, cute timeouts, etc

Disgusting

[DAF86]

I fucking hate Pop's substitution pattern for Wemby.

[spurraider21]

Didn't even notice it until they said it in the pregame, but Malakai Branham is averaging 8PPG. How the fuck do you start in this league averaging 8PPG if you're not a Scottie Pippen level playmaker and defender?
8 ppg on 42% shooting and 29% from 3 :lol

[baseline bum]

God, imagine Victor having Jokic as a teammate.

Shit, imagine Victor having 33 year old Reggie Jackson as a teammate.

[Extra Stout]

The commentators are having to bite their tongues not to say the words “incompetent coaching.”

[Extra Stout]

Zach Collins is not an NBA player.

[mexicanjunior]

This is like watching the Lakers scrimmage against a Planet Fitness rec team. Anyone that paid money for this shit should demand a refund.

[baseline bum]

8 ppg on 42% shooting and 29% from 3 :lol

He makes Vinny Del Negro look like Wilt fucking Chamberlain.

[spurraider21]

sochan posting up for 6 seconds then turning it over :lol

[baseline bum]

how the heck did this team win 22 games last year.

They were everyone's trap game. Also they started a point guard.

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team is so bad that something as little as having Josh Richardson on this team would make the team better lol

[baseline bum]

how bour raymond green though

Spurs gotta find some way to get Branham and Pop one of those indefinite suspensions.

[Barfunk]

Damn, Pop and Co just completely took the air out of this season. Went from "We're excited!" to half empty arena on the regular.

[baseline bum]

This is like watching the Lakers scrimmage against a Planet Fitness rec team. Anyone that paid money for this shit should demand a refund.

Most of the people who paid money for this shit are Laker fans tbh

[BatManu20]

Lakers having their best shooting half of the season so far. Naturally :lol

[NASpurs]

I should get a CPS credit for wasting my electricity watching this shit :lol

[spurraider21]

wemby blocks a davis jumper and is the first one down the court but nobody looks to throw it up ahead

[baseline bum]

Lakers having their best shooting half of the season so far. Naturally :lol

This Spurs team is like combining the offense of Fratello's Cavs with the defense of Doug Moe's Nuggets. I'm scared having such a loser around Victor is going to completely fuck him up.

[CorrectCrusader]

VICTOR SAID FUCK YOU AD GET SONNED

[Barfunk]

Alley oop!

[DAF86]

Get Wemby some help next season, please.

[spurraider21]

at least wemby still fighting

[baseline bum]

wemby blocks a davis jumper and is the first one down the court but nobody looks to throw it up ahead

I like a good trainwreck every once in a while too but can't imagine watching any more of this game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Dick Jefferson and Greg Anthony absolutely killing how this team is being run on NBA TV :lol

[Barfunk]

Wemby and Henry Rollins a combined 4-5 from 3. It's a start.

[heyheymymy]

lol at this Wemby H-E-B commercial

where his long arms bring in all the grocery bags in one trip lol

[SPURt]

Wemby going right back at AD after getting dunked on. You love to see it.

[emanueldavidginobili]

The IQ on this team is soooo bad. Tre Jones rushing down the court like he's an 11th grader on JV with ADHD lmao.

[lonrot]

Wemby playing alone there :madrun

[BatManu20]

Wemby the only ray of hope on this otherwise desolate roster.

[Russo21]

Anyone else worried about Vassell? He really doesn't do much other than score and his scoring isnt so special. His rebounding and assisting is very poor. And his offense isn't great enough to offset it. 3 rebounds and less than 3 assists per game just doesn't seem adequate for the highest paid guy on the team with the ball in his hands a lot. I wish he'd expand his game exponentially

[DAF86]

A dynamic scoring all-star PG
Vassell
3 and D
3 and D
Wemby

That should be the lineup in the following seasons.

If he had star potential, he’d be putting up huge numbers on this team. He’s just a borderline starter on a good team, basically a role player. But that makes him the second-best player on the Spurs.

He plays timid. He'll never be a go to high end scorer on a winning team.

[heyheymymy]

why are there so many half court passes that get picked off?

would save so many possessions for the Spurs to just not advance the ball so far up court since they almost always get intercepted for a TO

[Splits]

Spurs should draft Bronny and target D-Bust.

[baseline bum]

A dynamic scoring all-star PG
Vassell
3 and D
3 and D
Wemby

That should be the lineup in the following seasons.

Please find some way to get Anunoby this summer. This team so desperately needs defense and shooting.

[TheGreatYacht]

A dynamic scoring all-star PG
Vassell
3 and D
3 and D
Wemby

That should be the lineup in the following seasons.
Dillingham
Vassell
Holland
Probably Soshit
Wemby

[scott]

Dick Jefferson and Greg Anthony absolutely killing how this team is being run on NBA TV :lol

Good, maybe our clown ass local media will take note.

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan had Wemby wide open and instead throws it straight to the defense man WTF

[spurraider21]

keldon makes a good double team, but then just fucking jogs to the corner and therefore is late on the rotation and gives up a corner 3 to prince. jfc

then lol sochan with the braindead pass then getting his jumper blocked

[spurraider21]

why are there so many half court passes that get picked off?

its what happens when you dont have a point guard to dribble the ball up the floor

[TheGreatYacht]

Sochan has been so heavily promoted by our PR team (sent him to the draft to welcome Victor) and forced to be a starter despite being possibly the worst player in the league, you just know he’s getting a big extension smh

[emanueldavidginobili]

Get a fucking PG on this fucking team holy shit. It's just evident watching these games without a PG its a disaster. It's his first year but PATFO will be doing Wemby a huge disservice by not getting him a legitimate PG soon.

[NASpurs]

Good thing they built that state of the art training facility near La Cantera. You can tell it's paying off.

[NASpurs]

Sochan has been so heavily promoted by our PR team (sent him to the draft to welcome Victor) and forced to be a starter despite being possibly the worst player in the league, you just know he’s getting a big extension smh

I wonder which bust they're going to waste their pick on next year.

[emanueldavidginobili]

How has this team regressed this much?

[james evans]

can someone please explain what I'm watching tonight and have been watching all season?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Yeah this team is completely checked out. Pop should resign if he cares about the organization. This team needs a coach with some fire whose trying to prove/accomplish something.

[baseline bum]

can someone please explain what I'm watching tonight and have been watching all season?

Malakai Branham who scores 8ppg and plays no defense whatsoever is a god damn starter and there is no point guard nor coach.

[james evans]

Sochan has been so heavily promoted by our PR team (sent him to the draft to welcome Victor) and forced to be a starter despite being possibly the worst player in the league, you just know he’s getting a big extension smh
of course he is. It's the Puff Daddy model of business. After Biggie, mase, and the Lox, puffy refused to sign artists with talent, because he coudln't control them. A talented artists can get to the show and say, 'I'm not going on stage" and it wouldn't hurt their career. A trash azz rapper or singer does that and their career is over. Popovich make sure he signs talentless players because they will listen to him. They know they would get damn near no minutes on another team and probably be out of the league anywhere else. Sochan is fuckin terrible. Johnson thinks he's bernard king and Zach collins shoots 3s like he's actually good. Where else would these guys do this at? Add in that Popovich saw first hand what happens when a coach challenges a talented player and the player is not going to put up with it. (Chris webber/Don Nelson)

[Spurs Brazil]

Trade Sochan at the deadline before he has no value.

[TheGreatYacht]

I wonder which bust they're going to waste their pick on next year.
It’s going to be Buzelis, put the house on it

[james evans]

Trade Sochan at the deadline before he has no value.
He has no value now. We'd be lucky to get a 2035 2nd round pick for him

[spurraider21]

double from the strong side and give up an easy 3

its just amazing how easily we give up quality looks and how much of a struggle it looks like for us to just get a shot up

[CorrectCrusader]

Wow.

[Kawhi Duncan]

So... We don't play Wemby with a PG... We have ZERO spacing for Wemby because Vassel is the only person in the starting lineup that can shoot... And in defense we CONSTANTLY play WAAAAY off the shooters and overhelp... 3 very obvious problems that Pop refuses to address... GOAT coach? GTFOH... He had the GOAT player more like...

[CorrectCrusader]

HOLY SHIT WEMBY

[Russo21]

Trade Sochan at the deadline before he has no value.

And Vassell. I wonder what we could get for those 2 in a package

[BatManu20]

Lakers can’t miss tonight, so naturally they hit the 3/4 court heave :lol

[Silentbob]

of course that goes in. lmfao

[james evans]

damn!!!!! that was crazy!!!!

[Thebesteva]

3-20 tbh

[BatManu20]

Vassell has been horrible for 2 straight weeks now. Maybe longer. Dude is playing like shit tbh.

[baseline bum]

And Vassell. I wonder what we could get for those 2 in a package

Could probably salary dump them if the Spurs included a first

[DAF86]

The difference is night and day with Wemby playing as a center instead of wandering around in the perimeter. He knows what he has to do out there, he plays with a purpose.

[CorrectCrusader]

Yeah, we need to draft Zacharie & a PG

[weebo]

Tre J:lolnes

[james evans]

kawhi, Murray, and soon wemby. haha. The kid isn't used to losing and I just have the strangest feeling, popovich is going to sigh a bum ass, over the hill pg in the off seasn that just wants one last chance in the league. Two things Popovich love are old players and players that kiss his azz.

[weebo]

[BatManu20]

Honestly I have this dreadful feeling that we’re going to fall in the lottery for the first time in our franchise’s history. We’re still the only team in NBA history to never fall in the lottery. Just feels like we are overdue tbh. Hope I’m wrong obv :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

Vassell single handedly making sure we have no chance at a comeback

[james evans]

now why the FUCK would vassell shoot that shot over 4 defenders???

[MannyIsGod]

I would understand the chucking if Devin was actually scoring at a good clip but he's simply not. And yet, chuck chuck chuck

[james evans]

Vassell single handedly making sure we have no chance at a comeback
we had the momentum and he comes down and shoots 1 vs 4

[BatManu20]

Vassell you fucking idiot

[Obstructed_View]

Devin "the Black hole" Vassell.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm tired of saying "why did you leave him" when the Spurs give up a three. I just made it a wav file in my phone.

[TheGreatYacht]

Senile faggot bringing in Soshit back to stop this run :lol

He can’t croak soon enough

[Obstructed_View]

So anybody else think the Spurs should be looking to draw fouls instead of trying to avoid contact? They don't get whistles unless it's obvious.

[CorrectCrusader]

Pop took wemby out this is so fucking obviously tanking. We deserve our pick taken from us

[Obstructed_View]

now why the FUCK would vassell shoot that shot over 4 defenders???
Mamba mentalitee.

[TheGreatYacht]

Vassell has been horrible for 2 straight weeks now. Maybe longer. Dude is playing like shit tbh.
Never understood the Keldon hate on social media when it deserves to go to Vassell. He’s charmin soft and got a cancerous contract

[Kawhi Duncan]

I always laughed at the notion that Sohan is a good defender... Not only is he not a good defender... He is a bad one

[SouthernFryd]

Sochan is the worst defender on the worst defensive team in the league.

Vassel ain't far behind. At least Vassel can score...

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan is so fucking terrible cut his ass

[Spurs Brazil]

Sochan is a joke. He was supposed to be the best defender on the team but he just can’t guard anyone.

[TheGreatYacht]

I always laughed at the notion that Sohan is a good defender... Not only is he not a good defender... He is a bad one
PATFO fluffers justifying the Brian Wright whiffs, nothing new. They also said the sexual predator was good

[slick'81]

Only pistons and wizards are on our level of suck

[timtonymanu]

Did that senile old fuck yell at the crowd to stop booing the Lakers?

“That’s not what we are.”

[TheGreatYacht]

Senile faggot bringing in Soshit back to stop this run :lol

He can’t croak soon enough
Sochan killing out run as per usual :lmao

Pop is lucky cancer always takes the best people and leaves the worst ones alone

[SouthernFryd]

Is there a good passing coach in the league? Someone like chip but for passing?

Cuz the Spurs sure need it...

[Kawhi Duncan]

But Pop don't wanna hurt Sohan feelings by trading him...and he DEFINITELY won't concede his experiment was a failure...So buckle up, boys

[BatManu20]

Tbh Sochan isn’t great, but he shouldn’t be nearly this bad either. I really feel like the old man may have fucked his confidence with this PG experiment tbh. Feels like he's been mentally checked out ever since.

[timtonymanu]

Only pistons and wizards are on our level of suck

I rather be them. At least their front offices don’t have this pussy attachment to their head coach. Pop should have been fired 10 games ago.

[timtonymanu]

Tbh Sochan isn’t great, but he shouldn’t be nearly this bad either. I really feel like the old man may have fucked his confidence with this PG experiment tbh. Feels like he's been mentally checked out ever since tbh.

100%

[NASpurs]

I rather be them. At least their front offices don’t have this pussy attachment to their head coach. Pop should have been fired 10 games ago.

Not going to lie, I would kill myself if I had to look at Kuzma and Poole every game.

[SouthernFryd]

Tbh Sochan isn’t great, but he shouldn’t be nearly this bad either. I really feel like the old man may have fucked his confidence with this PG experiment tbh. Feels like he's been mentally checked out ever since.

Yeah, I can see this. Bad coaching is killing this team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Good on Poop to save that challenge for next game

[SouthernFryd]

Why the F did they bring a double to help Wemby?? Gave up a layup. So f'ing stupid.

[CorrectCrusader]

Refs aren't gonna let us back in it is what it is

[SouthernFryd]

Cassell is a black hole...and can't defend worth shyt

[Tyronn Lue]

Victor has 6 blocks. That's at least 2 games this season with 6 blocks. As shitty as this team is, Victor is a standout. I've seen the other team's forum and they are very aware of Victor, and seem higher on him than many on this forum.

[bbarry]

just too little too late.

[CorrectCrusader]

BRANHAM YOU FUCKING RETARD

[SouthernFryd]

Sochan LOSING the game all by himself. Guy f'ing sucks

[CorrectCrusader]

FUCCK PLEASE SPURS PLEASE

[BatManu20]

Branham is a goddamn moron

[Arcadian]

Should be up 1 without that stupid turnover.

[Robz4000]

Wemby missing clutch freebies. True Spur tbh.

[Budkin]

Damn Wemby.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Victor has 6 blocks. That's at least 2 games this season with 6 blocks. As shitty as this team is, Victor is a standout. I've seen the other team's forum and they are very aware of Victor, and seem higher on him than many on this forum.

Nah, Wemby is a fucking beast... If he had an average PG and coach he would have even better numbers

[Russo21]

Wowzers. Great to see Wemby trying to take over. 12 points in the last few minutes. Great to see

[CorrectCrusader]

Spurs can win this, lock in!

[Budkin]

Love this effort no matter the outcome here.

[SouthernFryd]

Why is Sochan even in the game right now?

WTF is the matter with POP?

[bbarry]

so who's gonna dribble the ball off their own foot out of bounds or throw it away?

[CorrectCrusader]

Victor has 6 blocks. That's at least 2 games this season with 6 blocks. As shitty as this team is, Victor is a standout. I've seen the other team's forum and they are very aware of Victor, and seem higher on him than many on this forum.

People are down here cuz they're losing. Wemby is having an all time great season defensively and is doing a fantastic job considering the circumstances.

[Arcadian]

Victor doesn't have any practice shooting pressure FTs because his team sucks too much to be in pressure situations.

[Budkin]

Ah well…

[CorrectCrusader]

no fucking way ref lmao kys

[poopbox]

I feel like if we had literally any player in the nba other than Sochan playing this game we win.

[thiste]

Often feels like Victor's gotta do everything by himself... Vassell should've been the one scoring these 2 threes to get us back into the game.

[weebo]

Why is Sochan even in the game right now?

WTF is the matter with POP?

:cry

[Spurs Homer]

I am flip-flopping on whether i hate

branham

or

vassell

more?

both are utter garbage

[Robz4000]

:lol another moral victory

[Russo21]

Yet another triple single game for Sochan on 22% shooting. :smokin

[NASpurs]

You can equally hate them the same tbh.

[Donald Sterling.]

Wembustyama :lmao

Imagine being 7'5 and flopping like Curry.

[CorrectCrusader]

Gotta love referees ejecting the best player on the floor for some bullshit that didn't even matter! Total referee death always

[CorrectCrusader]

Lol ofc the refs miss the obvious shove too. Blow me

[NASpurs]

Yet another triple single game for Sochan on 22% shooting. :smokin

Could've had Duren :lol

[Barfunk]

Didn't see the end. Was there any Lakers ref shenanigans?

[tim_duncan_fan]

Welp. That's what they get for committing constant stupid-ass turnovers.

This is the goofiest team in NBA history. Just dumb all game every game.

[Kurgan]

How long has it been since Pop drew up a good out of timeout play? Almost a decade?

[SouthernFryd]

Sochans turnover lost the game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Get over yourself SouthernFryd :pop

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochans turnover lost the game.

That was branham bud

[Barfunk]

Spurs are winning tonight.

Lakers are being stupid sitting LeBron.

Close. It's been that kind of season.

[SPURt]

That was fun. Channing Frye was really pulling for the Spurs, all of the commentators were.

[Spurs Homer]

Sochans turnover lost the game.

it was branham that threw that shitty soft pass to keldon and AD stole it


i just dont get why pop wont get pissed at branham as he has thrown multiple lazy passes for turnovers

yet pop trots him out there as if nothing happened

[ginobilized]

There's still some fight left in this team, that's a good sign. Gotta scrap like hell when you have less talent and experience.

Wemby plays well when challenged, that's a great sign. Truly a special player. We are so fortunate to have him.

Sochan, Vassell and Branham seem so out of sync much of the time, especially Sochan

[HankChinaski]

Better performance tonight yet still sloppy at times. That turnover after the inbound with Davis getting the bucket was the nail in the coffin.

So how they look on Friday

[rascal]

Close. It's been that kind of season.

Spurs game to win just couldn't get it done.

Thought they would win this game.

[Barfunk]

We can still win 45 if we go on a run!

[Barfunk]

Win 45 with this squad, or top 5 pick?

[spurs10]

Refs helped a lot with AD and the Lakers.

[mudd]

What a waste of a draft pick on sochan

[SouthernFryd]

Yeah, my bad, it was Branham. And yeah, lazy stupid passing everywhere...It's like they just don't give a F...

[Chomag]

Wemby probably came here thinking he was going to be coached.... Jokes on him?

[rascal]

What a waste of a draft pick on sochan

Most at Spurstalk wanted Sochan. You got what you wanted.

[Chinook]

Wait, are people mad about this game? It's the most fun I've had watching them since that first Phoenix game. I don't care if they win any other games this season -- I just want them to be entertaining. I think they were that tonight, especially in the fourth quarter. There's no one in the draft that I want them to target, but I'd rather them have as many options as possible.

[Raven]

the triples are still an eyesore

[sananspursfan21]

Not mad about this one. All I ask for is a fight and they gave that. They’re awful and none of them compliment the other well at all. It is what it is at this point. If they can just compete and bring intensity, they can finish the season 3-79 for all I care. “Good loss”

[heyheymymy]

Damn Wemby with 30/13/2/3/6

They played good for 3/4 of the 4th quarter when the lakers quit playing with a comfortable lead. The Lakers almost blew the game with coasting in the 4th quarter.

[heyheymymy]

Pretty ballsy of the team to chip away a 20 point deficit and had a single possession game with a tie or go ahead chance

[Obstructed_View]

That was branham bud

But it was Sochan's FAULT.

[Fizziksman]

lol Cassell

[spursparker9]

Wemby with a quiet 30 pts game.

If his 3 can go in consistently, he be averaging 30 easily.
If have good PG throwing lob, he be averaging 38 easily.

[itzsoweezee]

Who’s better, Austin Reaves or Vassell? Before the season, I would’ve said Vassell for sure. Not so sure now

Yeah, Austin better. Not even close right now

They played hard for less than one quarter. It was not entertaining until about 10 minutes to go

[Dex]

Wemby can't win with these cats

[Jordan Jackson]

Pfft. Makes no sense complaining about a bunch of players who won’t be in a Spurs uniform in a year or two. The talent gap between Wemby and his teammates is becoming more obvious each game. At least the Spurs have options to improve the team. Whether they have the brains is another question.

[The Truth #6]

Branham is so confounding. At times he looks poised and fantastic. Too often he is passive and lackluster. If Pop is going to force feed him, then Branham really needs some of the Parker treatment. Instead Pop is treating all the players the same: if I don't yell at Wemby I won't yell at anyone. That's what it seems like at least.

tbh, it is quite infeasible for Pop (at 74) to have the same energy to abuse Branham the way he abused Tony. :lol
