Game Thread: Houston @ San Antonio 10/28/24

[KingKev]

Game day bitches.

I believe Rockettes are at full strength with the exception of Steven Adams. No Tre or DV for us. Houston is favoured -1.5 on the spread at the time of writing from what I can see on my gambling accts. Near even money on the ML. I’m doubling down on every Spurs money line till I make the rack back that I lost in the home opener let’s gooooooo.

Seriously though Houston has some very solid young talent. Hopefully a statement game for Wemby after looking like hot trash Thursday.

Edit 10/26/25

[Ice009]

Yep. Houston has amassed some nice talent now. Even if they didn't get number overall 1 or 2 picks, it's looking like the guys they've picked are some really good players. Hopefully the Spurs can bounce back and take them out.

What I admire about Houston is they take chances on guys with supposed character flaws.

Jabari Smith and Tari Eason would pair well with Wemby.

[TXstbobcat]

spurs +1.5

Vassell and Jones out for the Spurs.

Adams GTD for the Rockets

[onechance87]

Hopfully castle gets more mins.Also hope wemby steps up.

[SpurSpike]

What network is the game on today?

[Pauleta14]

Can't wait for another Brooks-Wemby classic

[slick'81]

Wemby gonna feast on sengun

[TDomination]

Go Spurs Go!
Hope we get our first win of the season.

[DPG21920]

Wemby gonna feast on sengun

Sengun gave Wemby the business last season….should be a lot of fun. Limit the damn turnovers please.

[onechance87]

Wemby gonna feast on sengun

idk about that.Sengun one of the best post up players.Just hope he dont get into foul trouble.

[Spurs Homer]

10/28/24….

[Pauleta14]

Wemby gonna feast on sengun

Either that or Wemby is going to be embarassed by a guy who already has his legs and off of a hot start

[Mr. Body]

I've watched parts of both their games. They haven't looked great, blew a massive lead against a wobbly Charlotte team and was just okay against a depleted and fairly bad Grizzlies team.

They have mismatched pieces and some of them are pretty expensive. Offense is generated by chucking from Fred Van Vleet and Jalen Green or by slower post attacks through Sengun. Sengun is very clearly their best player. The rest, to me, are playing below their draft positions or reputation.

Jabari Smith, Jr. does not look like a #3 pick. Imagine, Banchero and Holmgren were taken just before.

Amen Thompson has skills but little offensive threat, so comes off the bench. Can he develop anything?

Jalen Green is an undisciplined chucker who will look great for a game or two but isn't a long-term anything.

Teams are jamming Whitmore and he needs to adjust. Same problems as in college: tunnel vision, can't pass to save his life, makes him easier to guard. Him and Sheppard may only be off-ball threats. But only Sengun has the gravity to activate anybody else, or else the transition game.

They'll be good - Udoka has them playing good defense. But feels like they need to fix the roster somehow.

[RC_Drunkford]

this is the real first test for this team. They better be winning both games against Houston or we're in for another longass season

[Mr. Body]

this is the real first test for this team. They better be winning both games against Houston or we're in for another longass season

How was the Western Conference champions not a test? Houston won .500 games last year. Why would you expect the Spurs to win both games?

[RC_Drunkford]

cause Dallas has the best roster in the west, that was a scheduled loss. If the Spurs made a leap, they should be able to beat Houston. Unless your seat sniffing ass now thinks we're a lottery team again.

[Joseph Kony]

not surprising that Mrs. Body doesnt understand a relatively obvious point :lol

Spurs have no business beating Dallas, especially without Vassell. Houston on the other hand is a much more beatable opponent so if Spurs get worked by a much worse team than Dallas, it's a bad sign. not hard to grasp :lol

[Fireball]

hopefully Wemby gets in a groove ... and gets back to blocking 4 shots a game ...

[lefty20]

2nd best, OKC got the West in the bag.

Jabari Smith and Tari Eason would pair well with Wemby.

Meanwhile our front office brags about going after high character scrubs like Primo and Forbes and both guys end up in legal issues. :cry buh he’s not Spurs material.

He has so much to criticize about every other roster but thinks our team is filled with versatile players in a strong defensive scheme.

[CGD]

Castle v Jimmer matchup should be fun.

[KingKev]

Castle v Jimmer matchup should be fun.

Hahahah bruhhh. I like both TBH. Both teams drafted what they really needed.

[KingKev]

Sochan when asked about the Rockets/Spurs rivalry said “fk Houston” per BR. I find this funny but now he better come to play!

[timtonymanu]

Jeremy better back that up, tbh.

I’m all for trash talking but this team has to deliver on wins first.

[stephen jackson]

What local channel is this game on it’s fucking 2024 and it doesn’t show anywhere on my tv guide how spurs how … we have the worst shit in the nba

[Pauleta14]

That's stupid and unnecessary from Sochan.

[spurs10]

What network is the game on today? It's on the CBS affiliate in SA KENS. Still not in the listings but if you go to their site it saves all programming will be delayed for the game.

[spurs10]

Hmm... The TV guide in Austin is suggesting the Spurs won't be on local TV. They're showing high-school football instead. I know for some stupid reason, the game often isn't on the guide. But I am hoping they don't get blocked out.

Try being Canadian and subject to CRTC Canadian content rules. You give in and pay upwards to 250 a month on cable and league pass just so every Canadian network can black you out for a curling game or a Drake concert.

[exstatic]

I have FUBOtv and a Roku box. Neither shows it on the Guide for KENS, and I’ve learned that FUBO doesn’t usually lie about that. I have two options. KENS on Roku might have it. Haven’t had my Roku box long enough to test their guide for Spurs. FUBO shows it in their NBA sports section for tonight, but it looks like a Houston feed, complete with their awful announcers. Keeping my fingers crossed for the Roku KENS option to work.

According to channel guide at https://www.kxan.com/kbvo/ Spurs game will be on 14.1 KBVO, channel 51 on DirectTV.

here in corpus when the game says KENS, and its not listed in the cable box guide, it is typically on one two local channels, same channels as when it IS listed in the guide. I think they've always showed the game when it's not listed.

I'm with Sochan. F Houston. But that kind of talk should be for teams that can win more than 22 games a season.

[ChumpDumper]

It's showing on KBVO (MyTV) in Austin even though the listings say otherwise.

https://x.com/RicFlair79/status/1850325899595636893

[FkLA]

YoutubeTV has "The Summit" on the guide for KENS5 instead of the game. Tf. Damn near lost my mind trying to find the game.

[weeks]

it bothers me that wemby made that deep three tbh. he doesn't need encouragement

[CorrectCrusader]

There's the wemby I know

[ace3g]

Dish Network and Spectrum also say The Summit on their listing, but the game is airing.

[poopbox]

Green airballed that 3 but Sochan just completely left him wide open to go try and stop dribble penetration from Fred Van Fleet with Wemby just around the rim waiting for him :lol

Is it just me or those are horrible??

Wesley backup PG.

[onechance87]

no castle lmaompop

[poopbox]

Wesley and Collins in at the same time :cry

[ace3g]

Castle about to check in.

[Dejounte]

Rockets announcer: “Sochan has been a force offensively…”

checks boxscore. No 3’s made. Looks like it’s possible to do more on offense without it having to be 3’s tbh. onechance87

[Dejounte]

Gahhhh damn Collins is trash. Useless on defense.

[TekXX]

Ok go spurs. I want to see Castle, give me hope for the future.

[heyheymymy]

Spurs 6-7 from three 85.7%

[exstatic]

And it’s on KENS in the FUBO app. Decided to try it after watching the first Wemby rotation with the awful Houston crew.

[Splits]

scorers gave VW a 2nd block, didn't look like he touched it

[Chinook]

no castle lmaompop

Seems like Castle is the backup SF until further notice. I think it's surprising that Pop had Johnson, Sochan and Barnes in at the same time. I wonder if this means there could be a Mamu sighting.

He’s the SG in this lineup with Wes, KJ, Sochan, and Collins.

UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

[heyheymymy]

Sochan really has been great scoring at the rim tonight

[Dejounte]

Sochan finessing inside the paint. Love to see it.

[poopbox]

Spurs have to challenge this :lol

[weeks]

pop using the challenge in the first quarter!??

[TekXX]

Houston looks pretty bad.

[poopbox]

Wesley :lmao

His only bad play though so should be thankful for that

[Spurs Homer]

This houston tv crew sucks….

a replay or two would be noce…
no replay of the challenged call
no replay of wesleys foul

[timtonymanu]

Castle just looks like a vet out there. No deer in the headlights at all.

[Barfunk]

Absolutely fail in getting some of these games available to watch. Have to use a beater IPad to watch from a malware ridden stream site (streameast).

[BackHome]

Did Pop tell Paul to sit his ass down?

[timtonymanu]

Nice to see Bill Land, tbh. :cry

[TXstbobcat]

Love the Wemby H‑E‑B commercial with the aliens!

[Barfunk]

Niceee, will have to check this out.

[scott]

BILL LAND WITH THE MIC! YES!

We need an Oh Mama

[NASpurs]

I know he's fighting cancer but Bill Land looks great. I hope he's victorious with his battle.

[Spurs Homer]

Wemby looks a little more engaged this game…the rust is starting to go away

[heyheymymy]

holy shit Bill Land guest spot right now

So good to hear his voice against some Spurs ball

[ace3g]

Wemby to Castle for the 2 hand flush!!!

[heyheymymy]

hope they bring Bill in for little spots here and there

[TDomination]

great to hear bill land say oh mama with that dunk from castle!

[r0drig0lac]

Castle!!!

[ace3g]

OH MAMMMMA!!!

[Dejounte]

Wemby to Castle OHH MAMMAAAA

[TekXX]

Bill Land should go in the rafters, more worthy those some of those guys the Spurs for some reason retired.

[heyheymymy]

CLASSIC BILL LAND OH MAMA

for that Castle play

[TDomination]

I know he's fighting cancer but Bill Land looks great. I hope he's victorious with his battle.
me too!

[Spurs Homer]

Finally a replay- that castle dunk should have been an- and 1!

[Dejounte]

Castle said Fuck Amen Thompson with that dunk. Gaaahh damnn

[timtonymanu]

Castle :wow

[heyheymymy]

man so good to get a Bill Land Oh Mama for a Castle play seeing as how that was something we weren't going to get

[Chinook]

He’s the SG in this lineup with Wes, KJ, Sochan, and Collins.

He came in for Barnes, making him the backup SF. I'm not talking about whether he or Keldon is the SG or SF or whatever. I'm talking about the depth chart/rotation. It's basically been consistent that he's come in for Barnes as the SF every game.

[Larry O]

Nice to see Bill Land, tbh. :cry

Bill Land! Oh Mamma! Good to hear that again!

[Spurs Homer]

Welp

branham in…

[NASpurs]

Seems like the Spurs thought they already had won the game. What a shitfest sequence.

[Strategic]

Feels good seeing the Spurs come out and hit these scrubs in the chops. Keep it up

[onechance87]

turnovers just like that.

[scott]

Pretty pathetic out of that timeout. Jesus.

[timtonymanu]

That useless loser Branham

[Dejounte]

He came in for Barnes, making him the backup SF. I'm not talking about whether he or Keldon is the SG or SF or whatever. I'm talking about the depth chart/rotation. It's basically been consistent that he's come in for Barnes as the SF every game.

What does it matter if he comes in for Barnes if the lineup auto adjusts for Castle to be a guard? This makes no sense, but whatever.

[Pauleta14]

In 10 years we'll still see those moments where Wemby thinks he's 6'2"

[RC_Drunkford]

And just when you thought we were dominating here we go with the turnovers, Wemby falling on the floor and Branham running around like a loose chicken

[Spurs Homer]

Please pop
take that garbage out/branham

got beat on defense and then had the ball stolen because he got manhandled by a midget

get him the fuck out and go back to barnes or champagnie or anyone else

[heyheymymy]

Tonight is a good "what if we didn't have Tre Jones" test run

[poopbox]

It went to shit soon as Branhim came in :lol

[onechance87]

That useless loser Branham

pop doing to much trying to get him mins.Guy needs to stay on the bench

[Dejounte]

Branham the new Bryn Forbes

[timtonymanu]

Houston's defense making Branham look good :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

My goodness the threat of outside shooting on this years team is making the offense SOOOO MUCH EASIER

[Dejounte]

Chris Paul hurt?

[heyheymymy]

Even the fan hit the wahatburger for a year shot tonight what a classic evening in SA

[RC_Drunkford]

Branham using angles at the rim much better than last year

[hoopdreams11]

spurs got a layup drill going against Joc

[poopbox]

Pop is really into this game. Must have that leak guard in his depends tonight

[heyheymymy]

why is it so hard to lob to wenby lol

[poopbox]

Here come the Rocket refs

[RC_Drunkford]

I like that we're finally stopped playing drop coverage. Collins is showing on every screen

[Rosewood]

I hate watching Collins and Branham.

[poopbox]

Julian tried to kill Sengun :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Julian tried to kill Sengun :lol

should've dropped it off to Sochan. Would've been an easy dunk

[NASpurs]

Steph is so smart. Could've passed that ball to shitty Collins for a three but instead passed it to Barnes, to a dude who's actually better at 3s. Hi IQ

[Chinook]

What does it matter if he comes in for Barnes if the lineup auto adjusts for Castle to be a guard? This makes no sense, but whatever.

Because people were complaining when he didn't come in for Paul at PG and thought the Spurs were pushing Castle out of the rotation since Wesley was there. That wasn't the case. Castle came in as the SF just as he has pretty much every game. That should've been clear from reading the conversation prior to your first comment. Castle isn't being slotted as Paul's backup -- he's Barnes' backup. So people getting worried he isn't coming in for Paul should wait before freaking out. What Castle is doing on the court at any given time is a separate matter, just as what position he considers himself, is best at or any other way to defining him.

[onechance87]

why is it so hard to lob to wenby lol

thats was on wemby

[Dejounte]

Steph is so smart. Could've passed that ball to shitty Collins for a three but instead passed it to Barnes. Hi IQ

Holy shit that was awesome

[poopbox]

Spurstalk legend Reed Shepperd has been complete ass so far

[Spurs Homer]

Spurs need to attack every possession- rockets are on a back to back

[Strategic]

Getting an assist from the lane making 3’s look a little easier. Castle impressing

[NASpurs]

Steph is giving me a Matt Bonner.

[Chinook]

It's like the whole team is trying to get revenge on Sengun

[CorrectCrusader]

Castles got it man we really got a good player finally

[Spurs Homer]

Lolol
alley oop to zollins…

[Dejounte]

THATS MY POINT GUARD

PG OF THE FUTURE IS HERE

[spursgu]

All you losers that said Houston is better than us. :lol

They look like how they did in the D'Antoni era: No defense and 3 point chucking. Only this time they don't have a star player like Harden.

:lol Sengun
:lol djohn
:lol pickle breath

[RC_Drunkford]

damn that lob would've been nasty. Great pass from Castle

[CorrectCrusader]

These refs are ass

[Spurs Homer]

Pop needs to put wemby back now and build this lead…

instead he will sit him and the rockets will close the gap before halftime…

[spursgu]

Also Reed Sheppard is shit and you guys called him the next Steph Curry :lol

[lefty20]

Castle getting the rookie treatment from the refs. No blood no foul.

[NASpurs]

Point God to Wemby :wow

[weeks]

i like that pass from castle even if it didn't make it

[Dejounte]

The long leash for Castle on offense… gotta love it. Keep throwing them up, rook. Get comfortable attempting those shots.

[r0drig0lac]

another great defensive first half

[NASpurs]

Fuck you Dillon Brooks, take that :lol

[heyheymymy]

dude HOU hasn't scored in like 8 mins

[NASpurs]

MVP chant in game 2 :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

FUCK THE ROCKETS LMAOOO

[BackHome]

Who shot the Air Ball?

[Barfunk]

Should be up 25-30. Rockets haven't scored in like 8 minutes.

[heyheymymy]

it's like a 8 min SA 18-0 run right now

[Spurs Homer]

Ok

if pop continues this …attacking the pg up top…
and

not allowing wemby to sit half of every qtr

there might be some more W’s

[td4mvp2k]

H dump :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

dude HOU hasn't scored in like 8 mins

defense is much better and we're killing them on the glass

[heyheymymy]

That green three was first HOU points in 9 mins lol

[heyheymymy]

NASTY 2Q from SA

[CorrectCrusader]

Sengun being a big fat ZERO your moves only work once buddy!

[Dejounte]

GLIMPSES OF HIS PRIME … JEREMY SOCHAN

[Dex]

A 20-point lead? What is this?

[Strategic]

Rockets with 41 points. ������

[NASpurs]

defense is much better and we're killing them on the glass

Yeah the defense and the rebounding have been a revelation.

[scott]

Sochan doing great work on the boards tonight and very efficient with his scoring. Love it.

Wemby also very efficient tonight as well. Night and day here.

Castle not being a 3-point threat clogs things up a little bit... really hope he can develop that aspect of his game, would be huge because he looks very impressive in all other aspects. Like a more polished version of everything the Thompson twins were hyped up to be (which unfortunately includes the lack of a 3-point shot)

[Trainwreck2100]

A 20-point lead? What is this?
Rockets scored 3 points in the last 9 and a half minutes if game time

[Dejounte]

Damn, that was a beautiful drive by Sochan

[Spurs Homer]

All you losers that said Houston is better than us. :lol

They look like how they did in the D'Antoni era: No defense and 3 point chucking. Only this time they don't have a star player like Harden.

relax

rockettes played last night and it shows…

fuck the rockettes but they have a good coach, a lot of talent and they will be a problem for the spurs…

but lets hope the spurs/wemby stays engaged and healthy and maybe surprise some teams

[RC_Drunkford]

Sochan with 12 points and 7 boards, Wemby 15 and 5, CP3 with 7 assists in the first half

[CGD]

Pop is spicy tonight, good to see.

Impressive half.

[Barfunk]

21 pt lead still nice..

[weeks]

some good connections between paul and wemby in that second quarter.

[RC_Drunkford]

Yeah the defense and the rebounding have been a revelation.

not playing drop coverage helps lol. But the guys are finally in the gaps, rotating, communicating and Caslte, Barnes and even CP3 are nice additions to what we used to have

[Strategic]

Pop gotta be seeing the advantage of Castle’s inside/out ability while playing in the post area. Transforms the team. Bring on the minutes!

[Chinook]

That was a pretty finger-roll by Sochan to end the half. Everyone is playing well from Wemby making some difficult shots to Paul being able to pick up his pace to find guys to Castle looking like a solid rotation player already. I have to give the nod to Sochan right now who's somehow both playing within himself and being aggressive at the same time. Collins also "feels" like he's better too if that makes sense. I think the lineups he was it really fit his energy.

[CorrectCrusader]

Looks like Tre Jones time might be over. Simply too small.

[Barfunk]

We look alot better when Wemby isn't shooting 2-50

[spursgu]

relax

Nah that's bullshit. This Spurs team is better than last year. Houston is still the same. They're good but their ceiling is low playoff seed. They aren't OKC.

[Leetonidas]

Great first half boys

[exstatic]

All you losers that said Houston is better than us. :lol

:lol pickle breath

The only player who looks unselfish is Sengün.

[Mnky]

Rebounding by sochan and zack has been so beautiful to see.

Last game had me worried, the rebounding or lack of stood out so bad.

Whole team crashing the boards. Fighting for rebounds. Finally using that youthful energy for once.

Cp3 and Barnes committing to their defense and rebounds definitely impacts the younger guys. Maybe we don't win much, but having leadership this year will make the games much more enjoyable to watch.

Still have vassell offense coming back.

[rankingtear]

I still like what Branham and Collins brings to the offense, as long as there are defenders all around them. Sochan and Champ put in a lot of work in the summer and it is clear as day.

[Sugus]

Can't wait to see Vassell playing with the rest of the team. His shooting is exactly what we're missing to blow this game wide open.

[Robz4000]

Gonna suck when they blow this lead tbh.

[CorrectCrusader]

CP3 block lmao fuck the refs

[onechance87]

Dont start this shit in the second half

[RC_Drunkford]

CP3 just blocked Van Vleet on a 3. That's not a foul

[skin27]

Here comes the usual 3rd quarter colapse:lol

[CGD]

We look alot better when Wemby isn't shooting 2-50

And not playing Dallas’s elite defense

[lefty20]

If you don't like 3rd quarter lulls, then you don't like Spurs basketball.

[Splits]

3rd quarter Spurs in da house. wtf does Pop do at halftime to enable these meltdowns?

[NASpurs]

Brooks is such a faggot

[scott]

Collins needs to come in and punch Brooks at the next opportunity. The suspension will be worth it (and will help us)

[timtonymanu]

Brooks is such a faggot

TD21 would probably call you racist right now, even though Brooks is Canadian. :lol

Brooks is a faggot though.

[CorrectCrusader]

Collins needs to come in and punch Brooks at the next opportunity. The suspension will be worth it (and will help us)

Fr like he's the enforcer right? let him do his job.

[heyheymymy]

Dillon doing Dillon shit

Watch him wrest the ball he rips wembys shoulder socket

[RC_Drunkford]

3rd quarter Spurs in da house. wtf does Pop do at halftime to enable these meltdowns?

apparently he's a great motivator :lol

[heyheymymy]

good dude dillon brooks is like a crocodile spinning on Wemby

[Barfunk]

And not playing Dallas’s elite defense

And also not going on a drought to start the 3rd lol

[timtonymanu]

Barnes has been a better pickup than CP3 so far.

Thank god he's more Rudy Gay than DeMarre Carroll, spurraider!

[heyheymymy]

by the way what does the W P on Brooks shoulder tats mean

[RC_Drunkford]

Barnes is such a good addition tbh. We're used to Cedi Osman over here :lol

[Arcadian]

:lol Brooks couldn't even tear the ball away from a twig like Wemby, despite trying his hardest and Wemby looking fairly unbothered.

[scott]

Barnes is such a good addition tbh. We're used to Cedi Osman over here :lol

I listened to a recent Spurs podcast where they called Barnes an average NBA starter... and I think I agree with that... sad how much a difference and how refreshing it is just to have an average NBA starter on our team :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Wemby really needs to set better screens. He rolled before CP3 even started moving

[scott]

Whatever it is that Pop does at halftime... he should do something else.

[RC_Drunkford]

I listened to a recent Spurs podcast where they called Barnes an average NBA starter... and I think I agree with that... sad how much a difference and how refreshing it is just to have an average NBA starter on our team :lol

I agree too. Shows you how much talent we got on the roster :lol Osman was one of our better players last year and ain't even in the NBA no more.

[lefty20]

Turnovers, turnovers everywhere.

[CorrectCrusader]

These refs are just, jeez man let them play

[timtonymanu]

Chris Paul looks bad.

[AusSpur]

Sochan has great feet, and terrible hands.

[Dex]

Refs being total dogshit, NBA is back!

[Pauleta14]

That was nice KD!!

[heyheymymy]

Castle is a FREAK

[Dejounte]

Nice fake by Castle

[RC_Drunkford]

that pass fake by Castle!!!

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan playing with intensity and purpose. This is when he's at his best.

[Strategic]

Castle and Paul can share the court but every second Paul is out, Castle needs to be in.

[heyheymymy]

Sochan 15/11/2 with 2 stls

[RC_Drunkford]

this is the part of Sochan's game that I pay attention to the most. Boards. He needs to rebound like that every game.

[lefty20]

Getting up in the air with no plan... Castle's lucky Pop's mellowed out.

[poopbox]

Sengun is such a shit defender. By the time we get to game 3 against the Rockets Wemby should be dropping 50 on him

[td4mvp2k]

Collins :bang

[timtonymanu]

The thought that Amen Thompson was the Spurs guy if they didn't get Wemby is so gross :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

WTF is up with these refs smh

[CorrectCrusader]

These refs :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

[CorrectCrusader]

The thought that Amen Thompson was the Spurs guy if they didn't get Wemby is so gross :lol

For sure. Wemby is already insanely good now. Amen MIGHT be good in 3 more years.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit, Branham passed the ball

[timtonymanu]

Branham actually doesn't suck out there

[CorrectCrusader]

Shoutout to Castle for the IQ to pass that up court.

[NASpurs]

Shoutout to Castle for the IQ to pass that up court.

Winners do winning things.

[Dejounte]

That Eason 3 was so low iq, just playing for himself

[exstatic]

Castle, two games into his rookie year, is already a FAR better player than Amen Thompson.

[CGD]

That Eason 3 was so low iq, just playing for himself

That was the knock on Eason during the draft. Still I’d like him on the Spurs tbh

[NASpurs]

Remember when Wesley played backup point in the first half? How embarrassing when you have Castle. Couldn't be me.

[skin27]

Looks like sochan will have a great year.
