Game Thread: NBA Cup Opening Night | Spurs (6-6) vs Lakers (7-4) November 15th, 2024 630PM CST

[z0sa]

The Spurs look to topple the inaugural NBA cup winners in their first game as the defending cup champs.

FTL!!

GSG!!!

:flag: :flag: :flag:

[ginobilized]

Collins on AD is a recipe for disaster.

But, nonetheless, GSG!!!!

[Joseph Kony]

Fuck the Lakers

[Strategic]

I heard the lakers were retracted from the league. Guess I’m gonna have to stay away from so much social media.’any way’s…..Go Spurs Go!!!!

[Spurs Homer]

Too bad sochan is out…i like how he gets on opponents nerves….

wemby needs to go at the brow with ferocity…

[spursparker9]

Who is guarding Lebron?

[Pauleta14]

Too bad sochan is out…i like how he gets on opponents nerves….

wemby needs to go at the brow with ferocity…

Wemby is going to be challenged by AD who's been embarrassed a few times last season between posters and blocks.

It's going to be interesting to see what game plan JJ Reddick comes up with too

[vy65]

Fuck the Lakers

[scott]

This will be a tough match up for Victor unless his 3 is dropping early, so hopefully it is! Will be interested to see how often Lebron gets switches on Wemby and how that works out as well. GSG!

[exstatic]

Relegate the Lakers!

[LeBowen]

If we're to win this one, we need others to step up on offense.
Wemby won't have enough energy to contain AD if he has to carry the offensive load.
Lakers bench is tragic, Devin needs to score 20+ with ease.

[Leetonidas]

He's been on fire from deep lately so this will be the game he goes 1-9 probably

Play 10 guys, and run them out of the gym.

[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[MannyIsGod]

Can't wait to see the Spurs NBA Cup court. I think they have one of the better designs. Still one of my favorite parts of these games.

[Fireball]

Wemby has to shoot 8of 10 from three ... then we can do it. Nobody can stop Lebron or AD on this team

[Tyronn Lue]

NBA cup is such a stupid concept. I get it's a way to force competition early so in that aspect it's ok, but really.. ?

Plus I really want the Lakers to be the 2 time NBA cup champs and go belly up in the playoffs again :lol

[scott]

Can't wait to see the Spurs NBA Cup court. I think they have one of the better designs. Still one of my favorite parts of these games.

I love the concept of these, but the execution on a few of them are rough. I think it was the 6ers the other day on the all blue court? That was painful to watch... like, actually pain in my eyeballs.

[spurraider21]

Can't wait to see the Spurs NBA Cup court. I think they have one of the better designs. Still one of my favorite parts of these games.
to me the courts have made the cup games borderline unwatchable

[Mr. Body]

1. The NBA Cup is such a dumb idea. Let's retire it already.

2. A game where we badly need Sochan.

3. The Lakers aren't very good. AD is playing phenomenal and James is playing great, and they're in their early-season binge. They won this stupid Cup thing last year. Otherwise they're a pretty bare roster.

[exstatic]

:rollin

[CorrectCrusader]

Let's beat the shit out of that old bastard Lebron.
GSG

[CorrectCrusader]

I don't know why they don't color the ball instead of the courts. Like bruh

[scott]

Lakers currently have a two game advantage over us in the all-time head to head. I want that back to regain what I always thought was one of the coolest records in all sports: a winning record against every other teams in the league.

[heyheymymy]

that's gold, Lebowen, gold!

[heyheymymy]

haha they interview D White at the half and asked him and he was like "it's okay, it's just really green and hard to adjust to"

wonder if they tone it down any in years to come

[Joseph Kony]

Lakers IR:

Hood-Schifino - OUT (groin)
Hachimura - Questionable (ankle)
Day-to-Davis - Probable (vagina)
Hayes - OUT (ankle)
Wood - OUT (knee)
Vanderbilt - OUT (foot)

[TDomination]

Ugly courts, ugly jerseys (at least the spurs) I haven’t seen the others, and a lame prize.
besides that, nba cup is wonderful.

But hopefully we win tonight! FTL

[benefactor]

We gon wen

[TimmyBuckets]

Lakers are better this year for sure. JJ's been running some nice plays and they're playing faster. AD is probably gonna go off on offense, but I'm hoping Wemby puts on another spectacular performance. No Sochan really is a big deal though. He's our second-best defender and very versatile at that.

[LeBowen]

Lakers IR:

Hood-Schifino - OUT (groin)
Hachimura - Questionable (ankle)
Day-to-Davis - Probable (vagina)
Hayes - OUT (ankle)
Wood - OUT (knee)
Vanderbilt - OUT (foot)

If Hachimura isn't playing, we have to win this, tbh.
Their rotation will probably be something like: DLo/Reaves/Reddish/Lebron/AD with Knech/Vincent/Christie/Koloko off the bench. That's a horrible roster outside of two stars and Reaves.

[CGD]

Who is guarding Lebron?

Theyll throw Castle into the deepend

[Mugen]

FTL tbh

[heyheymymy]

Can Wemby continue his streak of at least 6 3PM per game currently at, what, 3 straight games?

[slick'81]

Wemby v lebron?!:hungry:

[heyheymymy]

fuck lebron

[Splits]

Knecht gonna wrech us for not drafting him, which we should have.

[LeBowen]

Knecht gonna wrech us for not drafting him, which we should have.

We got Knecht at home.
Fun fact: Champagnie is actually younger than Knecht.

[timtonymanu]

Luck the Fakers!

[baseline bum]

to me the courts have made the cup games borderline unwatchable

Not to mention all the injuries they caused last year. Hopefully not the case this year.

[skin27]

Wembyshould go for 35pts 15 rebounds amd 5 blocks

[RC_Drunkford]

Fuck the Lakers. Hope the Spurs destroy the Lakers tonight like Tyson will do with Jake Paul

[LeBowen]

Fucking ESPN, no Spurs feed.

[Leetonidas]

How long is Mitch going to keep Devin on the bench? Dude needs to be in the starting lineup already

[LeBowen]

How long is Mitch going to keep Devin on the bench? Dude needs to be in the starting lineup already

Just watched his pre-game interview and he said Devin will be coming off the bench for the foreseeable future because he's been injured for so long.

[z0sa]

Holy fuck this ESPN crew sucks.

[heyheymymy]

that spurs cup court looks sick

[heyheymymy]

Lebron comes into tonight's game with 3 straight triple double performances wow

[timtonymanu]

How long is Mitch going to keep Devin on the bench? Dude needs to be in the starting lineup already

Probably because the current rotation has momentum. I kinda like Dev with the bench since Keldon can also be inconsistent. Sucks that Sochan got injured, I’m really interested in seeing who the final lineup is when all are healthy. Dev and Jeremy should start. Champ and Barnes have been contributing fine in their place but i see those two going to the bench when Jeremy comes back.

Paul/Castle/Vassell/Sochan/Wemby

[Splits]

Dick J!!!

[heyheymymy]

Holy fuck this ESPN crew sucks.

I think im on the LAL stream and these crap bastard announcers suck

[NASpurs]

Did this guy just say San Antonio Spores?

[heyheymymy]

actually these laker announcers are pretty cool

gave Wemby and Vassell their due respect

[LeBowen]

actually these laker announcers are pretty cool

gave Wemby and Vassell their due respect

They're the only good thing about their franchise and the best local broadcast alongside Breen/Clyde duo.

[heyheymymy]

They're the only good thing about their franchise and the best local broadcast alongside Breen/Clyde duo.

good call. I was prepared to hate but pleasantly surprised. Surprisingly smooth and classy for the douchey LAL brand

[heyheymymy]

the court looks like a 2k skin lol

[Dejounte]

Whoa what a move by Champ

[Dejounte]

Det mid range j by castle

[heyheymymy]

OOOOHH

AREA 51 LOB CONNECTION

[heyheymymy]

WEMBY IS STILL WET

[heyheymymy]

Could this be the league torch pass game?

[LeBowen]

Let's fucking go!

I hate this court so much, it's both too dark and too shiny at the same time.

[Dejounte]

Wemby is a beast awaken

[Rosewood]

Let's fucking go!

I hate this court so much, it's both too dark and too shiny at the same time. Really? I kinda like it :lol

[Pauleta14]

ffs Champ!! stop stealing wemby's rebounds!!! :lol

[Uriel]

Castle vs Knecht. Should be a good matchup for draft junkies to evaluate whether the front office made the right choice.

[TDomination]

man we're seeing this more and more, spurs jumping out to an early big lead.

thats always a good sign that we're on the verge of getting good.

The bad part of course is being able to maintain the lead but I like that this team has been able to get big leads right away this year.

[heyheymymy]

I like the court but it's abrasive to look at

it looks cool but hurts my eyes for sure so im conflicted lol

[heyheymymy]

Now if we could hone the bench to hold that lead longer when Wemby sits

[LeBowen]

Mitch with Pop-like timeout.

[lefty20]

Pop esque TO by Mitch there. I like it.

[heyheymymy]

Wemby lobs finally looking natural

[LeBowen]

Good drive from Barnes, we just need to keep attacking Lebron, he's too old to play both ways.

[CorrectCrusader]

WEAK ASS FOUL FUCK THESE LAKER REFS

[heyheymymy]

terrible call

clean Wemby block

[heyheymymy]

lol AD #1 in the league at the FT line like the soft shit that he is

[RC_Drunkford]

2 fouls on Wemby. That means more Zach Collins:bang

edit: It's on Barnes, thank God

[Dejounte]

That’s my rook!!!

[heyheymymy]

Castl3

[Rosewood]

Redick really gonna be easy to hate :lol

[heyheymymy]

good challenge at least

does look like he fell and possibly enough to overturn there

[CorrectCrusader]

Laker refs are in full force

[RC_Drunkford]

Laker Refs showing up

[LeBowen]

So that's what kind of a game it's going to be?
Fuck these refs.

[Raven]

lakerrefs in full workmode

[heyheymymy]

I thought the push off could've work out in our favor too

[weeks]

love this court

[Rosewood]

What a fucking joke.

[heyheymymy]

shit if Dev can anchor this group Spurs could be dangerous

[Obstructed_View]

Why would you challenge the kang?

[heyheymymy]

Why would you challenge the kang?

yeah learned a lesson there

if there is any incidental contact at all they can use that as an excuse so don't waste the challenge

[ismael-robert]

How does a gray court hurt your eyes y'all are weird

[Devi8or]

AD gonna feast on bench players today

[heyheymymy]

that little Zollins-Vassell chemistry is cooking lately tbh

[InRareForm]

How does a gray court hurt your eyes y'all are weird

Only the bright red ones do. This court is fine tbh

[ismael-robert]

Come on Spurs take the bubble wrap off Trey already need him in instead of Wesley

[LeBowen]

Wesley isn't doing anything in this game, Mamu needs to get his minutes.

[baseline bum]

Damn this team needs Tre back so badly, Wesley at PG is horrible

[heyheymymy]

spurs need to start boxing out would be offensive rebounders as they cut towards a teammate's drive

with a rim blocking presence like Wemby, teams are hunting follow ups it feels like

[rascal]

Wemby is becoming a monster.

Now if they can just surround him with more talent.

[Frenchfred]

Wemby back to TOs and missing threes

[Raven]

good lord, that was some atrocious basket after starting really strong

[Dejounte]

Why the fk is wemby bringing the ball down when hes 2 ft from the basket

[LeBowen]

Wesley's shot...:lol

Lakers bench has been horrible this season, they're missing a lot of players and yet they looked great against our bench. Go figure.

[spursparker9]

AD feasting

[heyheymymy]

fucking AD free throws sparked the Lakers

6-6 already

[Raven]

just play mamu against these teams ffs

[lefty20]

Wesley out there running around doing nothing.

[Rosewood]

Get this fucking bum Wesley out of the game, what the actual FUCK

[spursparker9]

Lebron not even trying. Lakers to win by 15

[RC_Drunkford]

our bench players always disrupt the flow of the game. We really need Sochan and Tre Jones back

[Kawhi Duncan]

fucking AD free throws sparked the Lakers

6-6 already

That's what happens when u use ur size and don't take threes all day

[Pauleta14]

Just horrible line-ups and rotations... WTF

Wesley is unplayable and Wemby had a 2min brain fart smh

[heyheymymy]

...and know you'll be rewarded

[Jordan Jackson]

Spurs really need to stop playing Zach Collins. He started that AD fire.

Just awful in every way since last season. Cut bait already.

[onechance87]

u know u cant put wesley or branham in this game.Both are bad.

[vy65]

The bench is fucking terrible. For as much as Keldon scores, he gives it back on the other end. Between him, Zollins, Branham, and Wesley, they’re always a net negative.

[Pauleta14]

We only have 6 legit players, the rest are pulling the team down

[rankingtear]

What is wrong with Tre Jones it has been 3 weeks.

[Chomag]

We got a bit sloppy, need to tighten up

[Splits]

wtf was Wemby doing when AD had CP0 posted? Looking around directing defensive traffic instead of helping? AD sonning him

[Kawhi Duncan]

As I keep saying... It looks good when Wemby makes his threes... But he isn't good at it yet... He needs to actually use his size because when his shots aren't falling, he looks horrible on offense because he seems clueless and not willing to use his size... Our offense shouldn't be dependent on Wemby hitting a ton of threes... There needs to be better offensive identity and distribution when it comes to Vic

[weeks]

Lebron not even trying. Lakers to win by 15

they definitely look like the better team

[onechance87]

anthony davis played the whole qtr.No reason castle cant do the same.

[heyheymymy]

haha all those shitty 3 attempts by vic just set the trap for the fake and drive rug pull

[CorrectCrusader]

Having to listen to these insufferable announcers and deal with the laker refs is fucking horrible. This is a home game!
Prayers for a davis injury

[Raven]

cp3 is getting exposed for now

[heyheymymy]

bottom fell out damn

[spursparker9]

Dagger!

[Frenchfred]

As I keep saying... It looks good when Wemby makes his threes... But he isn't good at it yet... He needs to actually use his size because when his shots aren't falling, he looks horrible on offense because he seems clueless and not willing to use his size...

exactly. Live and die by the three

[slick'81]

How the f is lebron getting better

[Chomag]

I'm sorry fellas bur Wesly does not belong on an NBA team

[Uriel]

:lol

[Fireball]

Having to listen to these insufferable announcers and deal with the laker refs is fucking horrible. This is a home game!
Prayers for a davis injury

RJ is great :clap

[weeks]

lebron just has so much experience and poise, can't be too upset by this

[spursparker9]

How the f is lebron getting better

PED...tbh

Just that no way the league will even dare to investigate and risk a big scandal that ruin its own reputation

[hoopdreams11]

Spurs can’t handle Christie so we put Branham on him?

[CorrectCrusader]

RJ is great :clap

Fuck no

[Pauleta14]

They only counted one block for Wemby? I thought he had 2. (not counting the BS foul)

[scott]

The bench is fucking terrible. For as much as Keldon scores, he gives it back on the other end. Between him, Zollins, Branham, and Wesley, they’re always a net negative.

I’ve read people on this website say that the bench is irrelevant, and that no team has ever won anything because of their bench. It’s a weird take.

Ever notice how we seem to give up these first quarter leads right around the time Zach Collins enters the game? Coincidence? Nah… CoLlInS iS hAvInG a GrEaT sEaSoN

[ismael-robert]

These Cup games aren't for Blake

[heyheymymy]

champ lucky bounce

[rankingtear]

Playing 11 guys in a cup game.

[heyheymymy]

lol Branham went to the same high school as Lebron in Akron

[LeBowen]

We back!

[Dejounte]

Mamu bringing the Spurs back singlehandedly

[heyheymymy]

bam mother fucker

10 point lead vanished, 1 point game

[heyheymymy]

Wemby salvaging forbidden rebounds with his long reach wow

previously unreachable

[ismael-robert]

Is it just me or did you all notice Davis eye looks like it's infected

[RC_Drunkford]

Mamu gives us some more size and rebounding at the 4 instead of playing small. He should be in the regular rotation. Not even talking about his shooting, he brings that too.

[Leetonidas]

:lmao

[lefty20]

Game of runs out there.

[td4mvp2k]

this team needs to find some defense by next year this is trash

[CorrectCrusader]

Pretty crazy that the moment our rookie goes out for the 3rd year players our offense gets more retarded

[LeBowen]

Castle is our only guard who can constantly penetrate and actually get to the rim.
Others get stopped way too easily.

But he needs to improve those FTs.

[ginobilized]

AD's eye is infected

Branham's career is infected

[Dejounte]

They sat Castle way too long. Just play the damn rookie

[Chomag]

AD is taking shots Wemby should be

[heyheymymy]

nasty castle stuff

[CorrectCrusader]

Dumbass baby bitch announcer crying for a tech for Castle for hanging on the rim. Honestly just off yourself you stupid retard can't even pronounce wembys name

[Chomag]

Fing keep playing the rookie!

[RC_Drunkford]

Castle is already a better player than Keldon

[heyheymymy]

lol AD called for a tech on Castle for hanging on the rim when he dunked

what a baby he was walking towards castle too so maybe you're why castle didn't want to land down yet?

Getting really sick of looking at ADs face what a disgrace and such a useless ass

[spursparker9]

AD with 20 pts already. Might be going for 50

[LeBowen]

Castle is already a better player than Keldon

Not much of a feat, tbh.

[vy65]

I’ve read people on this website say that the bench is irrelevant, and that no team has ever won anything because of their bench. It’s a weird take.

Ever notice how we seem to give up these first quarter leads right around the time Zach Collins enters the game? Coincidence? Nah… CoLlInS iS hAvInG a GrEaT sEaSoN

I know, right??? It was such a hot take that Mitch had to switch the rotation up to get Castle to soak up bench minutes … but that was probably inadvertent.

Who the fuck has said that the bench is irrelevant? I totally missed that.

[Fireball]

Dumbass baby bitch announcer crying for a tech for Castle for hanging on the rim. Honestly just off yourself you stupid retard can't even pronounce wembys name
what feed are you watching ... the ESPN guys just raved about Castle after that dunk

[Rosewood]

what feed are you watching ... the ESPN guys just raved about Castle after that dunk I’m watching the RJ stream too, but I think there is a Lakers one.

[vy65]

I’d be in favor of starting one of the abortion twins (Branham/Blake) in the starting lineup just to avoid having them with Keldon and Zollins on the bench unit.

[Rosewood]

lol AD called for a tech on Castle for hanging on the rim when he dunked

what a baby he was walking towards castle too so maybe you're why castle didn't want to land down yet?

Getting really sick of looking at ADs face what a disgrace and such a useless ass It’s a shame Lebron won him that title, dude is talented but the biggest pussy ‘superstar’ in league history.

[Chomag]

Collins back in *sigh*

[CorrectCrusader]

what feed are you watching ... the ESPN guys just raved about Castle after that dunk

Lakers announcers. Fucking kill me

[spursparker9]

Our roster is built for elite bigs to score 50 on us :lol

[onechance87]

vassel u want to help out or nah

[timtonymanu]

Castle is already a better player than Keldon

That’s not a tough standard to beat, tbh. Keldon wouldn’t even be getting these kind of minutes on a real playoff team.

[Fireball]

Lakers announcers. Fucking kill me

yeah well what do you expect :lol

[heyheymymy]

I will say I hope AD dies in a fire but he is killing us rn and that middy is money for his size

[lefty20]

Vassell needs to wake the fuck up, tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

Our roster is built for elite bigs to score 50 on us :lol

we are missing Sochan

[heyheymymy]

Vassell needs to wake the fuck up, tbh.

right on cue I hope

[Splits]

Dick with the "all black people look the same" take with Vassel and Castle :lmao

[spurraider21]

Dick with the "all black people look the same" take with Vassel and Castle :lmao
i was laughing too but tbh he was just talking about the hair

[Chomag]

Did Mitch forget that he has Wemby on the team?

[heyheymymy]

lol castle took except to that Knecht triple and hit one himself

[Dejounte]

Castle for threeeeeee

[LeBowen]

I just want one game against the Lakers where they get fucked over by the refs.

Castle ROTY campaign in full swing.

Keldon can't even hit a wide open 3pt now.

[heyheymymy]

nice fucking hustle SPURS wow

[timtonymanu]

God Keldon is such a useless faggot

[Chomag]

Why are we closing out the half with all the starters sitting?

[RC_Drunkford]

these motherfuckin refs call every phantom foul on us and when our guys get hammered it's nothing

[Pauleta14]

The refs got the memo, the NBA needs the Lakers going far in the "cup" smh

[Dejounte]

Castle is a fuckin superstar

[CorrectCrusader]

Castle is him bro

[vy65]

Goddamn Castle is good.

[Dejounte]

I dont care about if we win or lose. THIS IS CASTLE’s COMING OUT PARTY. Everything else is gravy

[timtonymanu]

Castle is a fuckin superstar

Yes I feel comfortable with him being our #2 guy soon over Vassell.

[Chomag]

Castle is built like a bull

[Raven]

sochan please come back soon

[CorrectCrusader]

Yes I feel comfortable with him being our #2 guy soon over Vassell.

I'm dead serious when I say that's already the case

[onechance87]

coach once again overplaying keldon

[Fireball]

Wemby subbed in for 28 seconds only at the end... I hope he gets way more minutes in the 2nd half

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby playing lazy on defense... And we as a team are playing stupid defensively... We really let the Lakers score 70 in the first half

[Splits]

Why is Wemby not playing the last 2:30 of the half? wtf comes in with 28 seconds left? fucking hate his minute rotations. fucking stupid

[spurraider21]

Keldon leaving Knecht in the corner one pass way to help on Max Christie was hilarious btw

[z0sa]

Extremely Laker-sided reffing

[LeBowen]

People can hype up Wesley and Branham as much as they want, but the harsh truth is that they're both more or less useless against legit teams.
Branham can stay on the floor only if he gets hot, which doesn't happen that often and Wesley is just a DNP if we're to win serious games.

Barnes with another cardio game, kind of annoying that he's not assertive at all.

[spurraider21]

:lol wemby on place to play just 29 minutes

[Chomag]

I'm dead serious when I say that's already the case
Yep, there is no excuse for him not getting NBA starter minutes , dude needs to be playing at least 30 minutes a game like any normal NBA starter

[rankingtear]

Commentators are on point about Vassell his offense has settled the down, now he needs to go back to doing the winning stuff again that got him drafted.

[CorrectCrusader]

Branham and Wesley are busts. It's just what it is. They are not good players. Branham can't dribble (fucking lol) or defend and Wesley can't do anything offensively.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Ppl talk about Wemby's conditioning... But he is 20 and his conditioning won't improve unless you actually attempt to play him more minutes... That's how endurance works

[heyheymymy]

lol big shot rob in the Lakers halftime crew

[scott]

Castle showing out!

This is another one of those games where some Bassey minutes might help slow down the big physical center who is beasting Zach Collins

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby takeover in the third. Book it.

[Chomag]

:lol wemby on place to play just 29 minutes

Least played Star player tbh?

[weeks]

pretty entertaining game. lakers look better but spurs are fighting hard, enjoyable to watch

[Chomag]

Please no more Collins, I can't watch that shit show anymore

[ginobilized]

Hope Branham and Wesley get less mins in 2nd half

Starters need to up the defensive intensity

[spurraider21]

Least played Star player tbh?
i'd get it if they were easing him back from an injury/illness, second of a b2b, or if he's in foul trouble. but nah

[Raven]

Wemby playing lazy on defense... And we as a team are playing stupid defensively... We really let the Lakers score 70 in the first half

partly, but they are also double blocking him at the top of the key

[Kawhi Duncan]

Branham and Wesley are busts. It's just what it is. They are not good players. Branham can't dribble (fucking lol) or defend and Wesley can't do anything offensively.

Agreed... I keep saying every 10 games they have decent showings and Spurs fans keep thinking they have a chance... And I keep saying hell nah they don't... They will NEVER be good players, and tha faster we realize that and move on as an organization, the better we will be... OKC is amazing right now despite being just as young as us because they didn't waste time trying to develop players that are obviously bad

[Raven]

Hope Branham and Wesley get less mins in 2nd half

Starters need to up the defensive intensity

honestly, it was paul that defended the worst

[Dejounte]

:lol wemby on place to play just 29 minutes
Wemby not playing allowed castle to step up. CIA Mitch

[CorrectCrusader]

Castle showing out!

This is another one of those games where some Bassey minutes might help slow down the big physical center who is beasting Zach Collins

Collins doing his little blitz during screens doesn't work against AD but he keeps doing it anyway. Immediately sells the possession and the defense.

[Jordan Jackson]

Wemby is going to have to play a lot in the 2nd half to have a chance. Spurs bench are chaos agents - so he’s going to have to play if they want a chance at winning.

AD is lighting up Zach Collins but everyone is going to point to Wemby.

[siraulo23]

why challenge that call? :lol

spurs transition defense in this game so far got damn

[Frenchfred]

Agreed... I keep saying every 10 games they have decent showings and Spurs fans keep thinking they have a chance... And I keep saying hell nah they don't... They will NEVER be good players, and tha faster we realize that and move on as an organization, the better we will be... OKC is amazing right now despite being just as young as us because they didn't waste time trying to develop players that are obviously bad

We have for sure two picks next year and potentially 4, I'm guessing that these might last long if they don't improve

[Chomag]

Mitch just trying to parrot Pop instead of being his own coach

[RC_Drunkford]

our defense is swiss cheese ever since Jeremy got injured

[onechance87]

Stop forcing keldon,wesley or branham to run this offense.Should be cp3,castle,wemby and vassell running the show.

[ginobilized]

Wemby not playing allowed castle to step up. CIA Mitch

CIA Pop

i'd get it if they were easing him back from an injury/illness, second of a b2b, or if he's in foul trouble. but nah

Seems like the typical rotation is for him to play more minutes in the second half. I’d betting he still finishes around 34-35 min.

Castle showing out!

This is another one of those games where some Bassey minutes might help slow down the big physical center who is beasting Zach Collins

ad has mostly been scoring against wemby tbf

[heyheymymy]

Castle has been working on that 3 wow

[Chomag]

G a wd damn Castle

[skin27]

Lakers cant miss

[heyheymymy]

[LeBowen]

Well, Redick's speech didn't work at all. :lol

[Raven]

back in the game

[timtonymanu]

I was worried Castle’s 3 point shooting would be Sochan level raw, but he’s been getting better at making them fast. Damn, what a nice player overall.

[rankingtear]

Castle looks like an all-nba caliber prospect.

[Rosewood]

I’ve seen more than enough, Castle was 100% the right choice. We still should have grabbed Edey or Knecht with 8 though.

[onechance87]

dont u take castle out coach.Let him play him the qtr

[Chomag]

CP3 turned back the clock a couple of years on that drive

[Dejounte]

Castle is a lesson in not judging a book by its cover tbh

you don’t put too much emphasis in shooting when they have everything else

shooting percentages can improve. They’re not the end all be all

[heyheymymy]

Bron 1 ast away from 4 consecutive triple doubles in as many games

hats off

Wemby seems scared to guard AD
