Game Thread: Spurs Vs. Pistons. 4/14/2024 2:30 PM CST 10:30 RIGA

[TXstbobcat]

Spurs -4.5 Most everybody out for both the Spurs and the Pistons.

earlier game Hornets at Cavs at noon. Cavs sitting Garland, Mitchel and a few others.

[scott]

Sidy Sissoki 50 burger incoming

[baseline bum]

Was gonna buy tickets until seeing no Wemby. Hell of a Fan Appreciation Day. :lol

[Ariel]

Washington and Boston are mostly playing their G League squads, but in the end I think Washington will do what it needs to ensure the L, so it's likely Detroit will need the L to ensure #1 alone. Detroit - Spurs It'll be kind of the Mavs - Spurs of last year, and we really need the L if we don't want to drop to 5 because Charlotte is tanking hard and likely so will Portland.

[Ariel]

We need to rest Sidy, Mamu and Graham. Can Pop play?

[Seventyniner]

Fan Appreciation Day: do a raffle, pull 15 winners, sign them to 10-day contracts and run them out there.

[Ariel]

Should be Tankathon day, tbh

14. Gotta have Zollins play 48 tonight to ensure the L.

[baseline bum]

Pistons are clearly going to out-tank the Spurs today. They should have just played Wemby and let him get 60. Not like Jalen Duren is going to play.

Duren and Cunningham both out.

[Mugen]

Fn Detroit bh

[Degoat]

Isn’t there zero incentive for Detroit to lose? Haven’t they already locked up the best odds for #1

[Spurs Homer]

Yup

i knew last game was vw last game of the season when he was taking all the shots and getting emotional…

i knew pop had probably told him he would not play sunday

[Pauleta14]

Isn’t there zero incentive for Detroit to lose? Haven’t they already locked up the best odds for #1

They can tie WAS with a win who's on the verge of losing vs BOS

[TXstbobcat]

Hornets only down 4 to the Cavs in the 4th

[TXstbobcat]

Hornets take down the Cavs. Portland 17.5 dogs against the Kings.

If the spurs can find a way to give this one to the Pistons, then we have a 3 way tie and a coin flip.

[Degoat]

They can tie WAS with a win who's on the verge of losing vs BOS

aren’t the odds the same tho? For the bottom 3 teams?

[onechance87]

no spurs no

[TXstbobcat]

aren’t the odds the same tho? For the bottom 3 teams?

yes but the 1 spot in the lottery the worst pick you can get is 5.
the 2 spot the worst pick you can get is 6.

[skin27]

Is wemby playing ?

[Ariel]

Go Pistons Go!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Is wemby playing ?

nope. He’s done til next season.

[spurs1990]

A bright side some other poster mentioned on a different thread is that spots 3-5 don't have prospects that much greater than the other, so we don't have to feel too down if Jones, Graham, Mamu, Branham, Champagnie win this game as they are expected to

Hoping Zaccharie and Sarr goes top 2 and the nicer prospects are there for the Spurs at 3-5.

[BatManu20]

Spurs B-Team should still beat this dog-shit Pistons team tbh.

[LeBowen]

One last time this season, at least we'll be able to watch Wemby at the Olympics, 6 months with no Wemby would be too much.

[TXstbobcat]

Kind of like those Detroit alternate jerseys.

[scott]

If Mamu has the green light this game, Wilt's 100 pt game might be in trouble

[scott]

In a game where $17MM/yr man Zach Collins should be the best player on the court, he's going to foul out in 12 minutes.

[LeBowen]

In a game where $17MM/yr man Zach Collins should be the best player on the court, he's going to foul out in 12 minutes.

The money he's getting isn't the worst part of his contract.
Him getting minutes is the issue.

If we're to compete the next season, he has to go. Or at least get DNPs.

[LeBowen]

What a block by Cissoko, kid's got a lot of defensive potential, just needs to develop a shot.

[thiste]

Wolves are getting killed by the Suns!

[Gandalf]

What a block by Cissoko, kid's got a lot of defensive potential, just needs to develop a shot.

Obviously Chip now works for the Thunder, but do guys like Chip do summer training for players on other teams? I thought I remember something like that at some point. Be nice if some of our guys could do that.

[BatManu20]

This Pistons team is so ass :lol

[LeBowen]

Some of them surely do, but Cissoko's jumpshot will be a long term project.
Spurs really need to find the next Chip. Won't be easy.

[BatManu20]

Wolves are getting killed by the Suns!

It’s early. Still plenty of time for the Suns to blow it.

[baseline bum]

So stupid to sit Victor when this was obvious the Spurs would kill them anyways.

[BatManu20]

This Pistons team is so ass :lol

Spurs already up by 20 :lol

[BatManu20]

Wemby could’ve had a 30+ point triple-double tonight against these G-Leaguers tbh. Maybe even another 5x5 game.

[sfernald]

Wow, the one game spurs need to tank and they just can’t do it, one failure after another this season.

[Degoat]

Really hope sidy can figure out his shot, see no reason why he couldn’t be a draymond type for the spurs

[baseline bum]

Wemby could’ve had a 30+ point triple-double tonight against these G-Leaguers tbh. Maybe even another 5x5 game.

They could have fed him for 50 and set the Spurs rookie record. Instead the fans get screwed on Fan Appreciation Day and the team gains no lottery balls anyways. Ugh I hate tanking after we already got our superstar. Especially tanking for a draft where everyone has enormous red flags and no one seems to be a good bet for being a consistent all-star.

Once again, this organization sends mixed messages. Why sit Wembanyama, but play the other NBA players?

Bouyea, Wesley, Duke Jr., Cissoko and Gray should have all logged 40+ minutes, with spot minutes to Collins, Mamukelashvili and Graham.

[thiste]

It’s early. Still plenty of time for the Suns to blow it.

Heh now it's OKC trouncing the Mavs :lol

[sfernald]

Heh now it's OKC trouncing the Mavs :lol

Okc gonna be #1 in western conference this year.

[rascal]

Portland is sitting everyone. They have their sights set on Sarr.

[LeBowen]

Now he gets injured.
Couldn't have happened months ago.

[SPURt]

Zollins looked like he dislocated a shoulder there

[BatManu20]

Think Zollins just dislocated his shoulder tbh.

[Mal]

What the fuck is this game even

[baseline bum]

Okc gonna be #1 is western conference this year.

And for that they'll get to play Dallas in the second. Not an early round matchup I'd want any part of.

[scott]

Who knew Tre Jones could dunk? LOL, that was like the first time Tony Parker dunked out of nowhere

[BackHome]

Think Zollins just dislocated his shoulder tbh.

Can you imagine the outcry if that had happened to Wemby - people would be loosing it questioning why he was even playing...

[LeBowen]

I've seen better G-league games.

Spurs aren't good, but Pistons are just a hopeless franchise.
The league needs to step in and kick out everyone involved in making basketball decisions.

[BackHome]

Zollins looked like he dislocated a shoulder there

If I remember correctly he had a very bad shoulder injury in the past that required shoulder surgery and i think he missed the whole season

[ironman2886]

Zollins looked like he dislocated a shoulder there
😬

[Ariel]

Portland is sitting everyone. They have their sights set on Sarr.
Nah, they're not tanking, they just happened to have all of their top 10 guys injured at the same time :lol

[sfernald]

And for that they'll get to play Dallas in the second. Not an early round matchup I'd want any part of.

Are you assuming Dallas beats Clippers and Kawhi without hca?

[thiste]

It’s early. Still plenty of time for the Suns to blow it.

Looks like OKC & Denver are going to win theirs. It's a MUST win for the Wolves, but it's also a MUST win for the Suns if they want to avoid the play-ins as the Pelicans look like they might lose against the Lakers.

[baseline bum]

Are you assuming Dallas beats Clippers and Kawhi without hca?

Honestly think Dallas is going to the Finals this year. Doncic is having quietly one of the greatest seasons in NBA history and Irving seems to have his head screwed on straight for once.

[Mal]

Dallas with solid fuck you performance

[scott]

Imagine paying money to be at this game

[baseline bum]

I really hope Graham and Mamu catch on somewhere nice where they'll get paid and get some real playing time. They really deserved it here but pretty clear this is their last time in the silver and black.

[Degoat]

I think Mamu returns, Graham Will definitely be gone

[SPURt]

Summer League has come early this year lol Graham is a better player than the mins he played this year. He’s taken it like a champ.

[scott]

Surprised we couldn't squeeze an SRP out of someone for Graham at the deadline. Wonder if they even tried.

[thiste]

Would be cool if we can keep them under 100.

[Mal]

Wesley looks like best player on the court

[baseline bum]

I think Mamu returns, Graham Will definitely be gone

I can't see it, Pop wouldn't play Mamu until they started outright tanking the season.

[Robz4000]

So what Spurs are playing in the Olympics besides Wemby?

[thiste]

Spurs end up not being a net negative in wins over last season.

If nothing else, that's important for Victor's rookie season legacy.

[Mal]

Cissoko belongs to NBA, so does Mamu.

This Duke, Gray, Bousomething not

[Dejounte]

Cissoko belongs to NBA, so does Mamu.

This Duke, Gray, Bousomething not

The Duke guy looked pretty good. I think he should continue to be a two way for next season.

[BatManu20]

[Vienna]

Surprised we couldn't squeeze an SRP out of someone for Graham at the deadline. Wonder if they even tried.

only 2.8 Million of his next years salary are guarranteed. Spurs will likely get a better return return on Draft night, or before July 1st.

[jjspur]

Cissoko belongs to NBA, so does Mamu.

This Duke, Gray, Bousomething not

Of our 2 way guys David Duke shows the most promise. He looked pretty good against the pistons, but then some of us might look good against the pistons.

[Dex]

Imagine paying money to be at this game

Buying a ticket to the last game of the season is always a gamble, even in the glory days.

There is like a 10% chance you are going to get a high-intensity game with both teams fighting for something...but far more likely both teams are checked out or resting guys for the playoffs

[Dex]

Also, I need video of Coyote letting Wemby shoot the t-shirt cannon, then immediately taking it back once he almost shot it right at the crowd :lmao

[BatManu20]

My understanding is that the Spurs can no longer trade him to a team who will then release him and get cap savings. Someone posted this along with the rule back around the trade deadline. Would love to get confirmation.

[buttsR4rebounding]

In a game where $17MM/yr man Zach Collins should be the best player on the court, he's going to foul out in 12 minutes.

16 minutes: 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal. Looks like he was the best player on the court.

Still trade him pls.

Sorry to bring this thread back up to the top of the page, not sure where to ask this question (I do have NBA League Pass and have had it for years) - I've been trying to go back and watch games from about a month ago as I just couldn't watch the games live or within a day or two like I normally would when I miss them live, so I sort of fell behind and couldn't catch up due to Easter being busy. Anyway, I am pretty sure it's an issue with NBA League Pass as I contacted them about it a couple of seasons ago when I was trying to watch archived games then too, I get constant buffering and the games are unwatchable because of it (no idea why as live games are fine and games for within the last couple of days - I haven't tried watching archived games that are older than a few days for quite a while until last week). The issue is on their end IMO, but they tell me it's not. Anyway, I don't have the time, or care to do their waste of time trouble shooting (I have a more than fast enough internet connection and none of my other paid for streaming services have this buffering issue. None of them.) like last time for no result. I also had my ISP look into it last time when I contacted them about it (a local forum in my country also has other people that have posted about these same buffering issues), but as I expected, my ISP said couldn't find any issues on their end, however, I am going to try a different ISP out in a week or two for a trial run, so that way I can eliminate it as an issue with my ISP.

Anyway, I recall someone posting up a link earlier in this season to a website that has links to games you can watch from earlier/throughout the season (I clicked on it, but not sure if it had games for the whole regular season as I didn't use it. I tried looking for the link, but don't remember the name of the website), so I was wondering anyone would be able to PM me some links. As mentioned, I do actually have league pass so I'm not looking for free access, but the darn thing doesn't allow me to watch the archived Spurs games without buffering. I haven't tried watching other team's archived games, but don't really care if they work as I only want to watch the Spurs games. It's just that the archived Spurs games always buffer and I can't watch them like that. I've tried most quality levels and it even happens even on 540p (not interested in going/trying any lower as I've paying for HD, not 540p or below).
