[Uriel]

If we win this game, we make the playoffs. Is that correct?

[ace3g]

Not necessarily, we have to win by a lot to help our point differential.

[ace3g]

It will help if Warriors and Heat lose today.

Tiebreak Criteria

1. Two Teams Tied: If two teams have the same record after the first four games, the following
criteria (in order) will be used:

• Head-to-head matchup: The team that won the game between the two teams, if applicable,
will receive the higher seed.

• Point differential: The team with the greater point differential will receive the higher seed.

• Total Points: The team with the most total points will receive the higher seed.

• Random drawing: If necessary, the higher seed will be determined by a “coin flip.”

2. More Than Two Teams Tied: If more than two teams have the same record after the first four
games, the following criteria (in order) will be used:

• Point differential: The team with the greater point differential will receive the higher seed.

• Total Points: The team with the most total points will receive the higher seed.

• Random drawing: If necessary, the higher seed will be determined by a coin flip.

It looks like the Spurs have to win and either GSW or Miami has to lose.

The point differential looks too big to make up in one game.

Got it. Thanks. I think the odds that at least one of GSW or Miami will lose are pretty good (~>50%) since even if you assume that each of them has a 70% chance of winning their next game, the odds that both of them do is 49% (in other words, less likely than not).

So as long as we take care of business in this game, I think our odds of making the playoffs are better than not.

[Degoat]

David Duke never gonna play I guess, disappointing outta all of the 2 way guys I thought he showed the most promise

[onechance87]

ugly basketball lol

[ace3g]

Spurs can't score 0-7; 7 min mark.

[ace3g]

Ingram hits a 3.

[ace3g]

5 straight for Ingram.

[Uriel]

Ingram vs McCain. UNC vs Duke redux.

[onechance87]

surely sidy wakes up and starts making something happen.Im just not seeing it.Guy cant make plays for himself or
his teammates.Hes pretty much useless.

[ace3g]

Do we even want to hold onto the ball?

[Degoat]

Sidy is a waste of space

[scott]

Which of these Sixers end of benchers will inevitably end up on our roster after Morey pre-maturely releases them?

[onechance87]

did minix die or something...why is he not in.

[ace3g]

Minix!!!

[Uriel]

Pretty amazing that we're shooting 20% and "only" down single digits.

[Uriel]

It's funny, this is the one game in summer league I actually care about winning since the playoffs are on the line. :lol

[palangi]

What’s funny is some think Bouyea should be a two way candidate. Dribbling is suspect and can’t shoot but yeah…

[ace3g]

Glad we survived that horrendous starting lineup.

[Indianman]

The game's over.
Bye bye playoffs.

[Uriel]

Okay, I've seen enough. I think the playoff dream is dead. :lol

I mean, I legit read some brilliant posters here contemplating him as our 3rd String PG for 2025-26. His hairline will be older than CP3 by then.

[Degoat]

My god!!! That corner out of bounds step! Holy shit they never learn

[ace3g]

Bouyea for 3!!!

[ace3g]

Diallo has stone hands.

[Degoat]

If a guy has the last name Diallo, always know he’s terrible.

[scott]

I hope we one day learn that Sidi is on the team to give Wemby a French-speaking friend, otherwise it's hard to understand what value he adds to our 15-man roster.

[ace3g]

Bouyea with another 3.

Bouyea is really this team's Tony Parker.

[ace3g]

Ward with the elbow 3.

[palangi]

Right as I say something he fits two threes. But blows the fast break layup. He is nothing more than aG league player

[scott]

I like this Tyson Ward kid. Would rather see he and Minnix get two-ways next to Ingram.

[spurraider21]

Ward brought us back in

[spurraider21]

I like this Tyson Ward kid. Would rather see he and Minnix get two-ways next to Ingram.
i didnt realize how old he was

he turns 27 next week :lol

[ace3g]

Sidy nice drop off pass to Massalski

[spurraider21]

yikes, Cissoko getting blown by like that really defeats the purpose of his existence lol

[scott]

Ward is 26? Nevermind.

[scott]

i didnt realize how old he was

he turns 27 next week :lol

Yeah I saw that after I posted that... never mind :lol

[ace3g]

Within 3 // 30-33.

[spurraider21]

there ya go minix. tied up at 35

his release needs to get quicker at the next level but his mechanics are pretty nice

[ace3g]

Minix for 3!!!

Don't need to use pick #8 on Knecht when you can just get Riley "Deez Nuts" Minix as a UFDA

[SPURt]

Can they keep Minix? he is a legit shooter

[SPURt]

Is Popovich Sidy’s daddy, is that why we drafted him?

[PhantomDashCam]

What are people's thoughts on Cissoko outlook long term?
If Pop hadn't given a gushing interview RE: his long term appeal, I'm not sure he would even make it to training camp tbh.

Sidy will play like ass all game and make one nifty bounce pass and pop will cream his pants

[heyheymymy]

+ Anthony Black, 6th pick 2023

what a loaded roster

wonder how elite they would've been if NSJ was healthy

Jaylin Williams came out of that era of the ARK program too so a few significant rosters for the Razorbacks and with Coach Cal now, I wonder how they will look this fall? He is nothing else if not a good recruiter of talent.

[heyheymymy]

Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part
Of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall

Oh, I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds and
I And I place my bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blinds
I wonder what I'll find

I'm leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On Saturday night

Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

[poopbox]

Sidy the dark skin Sochan tbh :rollin

[scott]

Sidy the dark skin Sochan tbh :rollin

Sochan at least shows flashes of potential. Sidy is just trash.

[adonis827]

If a guy has the last name Diallo, always know he’s terrible.

Hamidou not even serviceable? Athletic dude averages 18.6 minutes, 0.495 FG, 8.6pts in 265 games. Just can't shoot 3s.

[NASpurs]

How the hell are you 6'6", can't fucking shoot and make it all the way to getting drafted by am NBA team?

[Ice009]

Pop's player evaluation is fucking horrendous. Give me Sidy's body and I go do a hell of a lot more than a few flashy passes per game. My defense would also be at least twice as good as his. What a freaking waste of a roster spot.
The guy never learned the basic skill of playing basketball (shooting the ball). He's not Shaq where he can overwhelm people with his athleticism and size.

[JPB]

How the hell are you 6'6", can't fucking shoot and make it all the way to getting drafted by am NBA team?

Don't be so hard on Castle.

Give him time, kid can play.

[LeBowen]

Don't be so hard on Castle.

Give him time, kid can play.

You going to shit on Castle in every single post of yours? Is that your gimmick now?
Sometimes I feel like a lot of people in here don't even care about the Spurs or basketball, they just want to push their awful takes and are willing to dig themselves as deep as possible.

I hope you won't disappear when the season starts and you're reminded of your cluelessness after every game, because some of us won't forget all the nonsense you've been writing about Castle ever since the draft night.
