[TXstbobcat]

Vassell and Sochan out. Wemby and Trey GTD

[Mal]

How tf Spurs have better record :spin

[heyheymymy]

mavs have been struggling would be cool to steal one

[heyheymymy]

I'd like to see Jones integrate back into things as Paul insurance at least

[onechance87]

I kinda want us to start tanking.But i also want to beat our texas rivals:tongue

[LeBowen]

Aaaaand Wemby is out.
Bassey needs to take advantage of this opportunity, tbh.

[heyheymymy]

yikes Gafford and Lively II against Zollins with no Wemby

[onechance87]

Aaaaand Wemby is out.
Bassey needs to take advantage of this opportunity, tbh.

and mamu....We already know what collins does

[heyheymymy]

fuck it start Bassey

[Pauleta14]

Wemby and Vassell out?

Castle goes for 30pt 12rbd 10ast 5stl 1blck (on Chubby)

Edit/ Forget... Tre is back smh

[exstatic]

GSG

[TekXX]

This thing isn't on Fanduel?

[ismael-robert]

See tre healthy...stupid to sit him yesterday for cup game

[TXstbobcat]

This thing isn't on Fanduel?

it’s on NBATV channel

[skin27]

They use the injury last night isnt that bad as an excuse to rest wemby:lmao

[z0sa]

No Wemby, no Vassell, no Sochan. Yawn

[Strategic]

At least Bassey should get some minutes. He might match up with the mavs center. Lol

[TXstbobcat]

Without Wemby and Vassell this is going to be an Ike Turner beatdown

[scott]

I’m strapped in for the Keldon/Branham chuckathon.

[Strategic]

Mavs on a four game skid. Let’s give them 1 for the thumb tonight. Go Spurs Go!!!

[timtonymanu]

Yeah I’m skipping this

[heyheymymy]

why does Kidd always seem like he is micro dosing?

[Raven]

why are we tanking this game?

[lefty20]

Starting off about as expected.

[skin27]

This hoing to be a blowout loss

[daslicer]

They use the injury last night isnt that bad to rest wemby:lmao

Agreed. I'm definitely not watching this crap.

[Dex]

I hate. Zach Collins. SO MUCH

[onechance87]

collins should be cut by halftime

[lefty20]

Luka's already started bitching to the refs, I see.

[Strategic]

Damn Mav’s announcers.

[skin27]

Wemby not playing while older Anthony Davis is playing back to back. AD hurt his knee more than Wemby.

[LeBowen]

This won't be a fun game.

[TekXX]

Ok found the game on KENS here in SA

[onechance87]

put bassey in...Everybody but the coaching staff knew how this would start.Dumb ass coaches

[heyheymymy]

Zollins playing with some serious balls

[onechance87]

Wemby not playing while older Anthony Davis is playing back to back. AD hurt his knee more than Wemby.

we may be soft tanking bro

[heyheymymy]

lol Castle had that lob calibrated to Wemby height but Zollins barely reached it still

[heyheymymy]

BASS TIME

[BackHome]

Damn they did Spurs Dirty

[Spurs Brazil]

Good start by Collins.

[heyheymymy]

KING BASSEY

[skin27]

Nice Run

[heyheymymy]

lol Wesley, Champ and Bassey just led an 8-0 Spurs run

[Dejounte]

Champ going off

[SPURt]

Bassey>>>>>>Collins, jeez

[LeBowen]

Block of the season so far, tbh.

[objective]

Bassey doing Bassey things.

"Who is that young man?". -. :pop:

[scott]

BASSEY ELITE RIM PROTECTION

Been telling ya’ll.

[heyheymymy]

pretty sweet drive by Wesley

[Duncan2177]

Bassey>>>>>>Collins, jeez

Collins is our guy. :pop:

[jesterbobman]

Tre Jones back! 48 Minutes of (not being in, due to competent organisation from the PG position) Hell.

[Rosewood]

Maybe everyone here was right about Bassey :lol

[Dex]

What does it take for Mamu to get minutes?

[objective]

Hair Extensions > Headbands

[heyheymymy]

nice job by champ to draw on Luka there

[TekXX]

Yes let's review this obvious call where Luka clearly fouled and tried to lie about it.

[lefty20]

Luka just can't help himself from being a grade A whiny little bitch.

[lefty20]

Champ is like "this mf can't be serious".

[Dex]

LOL Champ laughing at Luka for complaining about fail baiting

[scott]

1 block and 3 reb in 4 minutes for Bassey. Dude just grades out as an elite rim protector and rebounder. His offensive game is rough, looks like he is just nervous out there every time he plays - but he dominated the G League.

On Matthew Tynan’s podcast, he mentioned he stuck around for an after-practice 3-point contest and Bassey won by hitting every single shot he took from deep. Would love to find a way to get him into his comfort zone and loosen the short rope on him. My boy can play

[Mr. Body]

What was Doncic bitching about

[AusSpur]

Luka just can't help himself from being a grade A whiny little bitch.

Right. Blatantly fouls Champ and goes to sook central about it. He would be furious if that wasn't paid for him.

[Rosewood]

lmao Champ took out 3 Mavericks.

[onechance87]

collins lol

[TekXX]

Oh lord was that 2 airballs back to back?

[heyheymymy]

damn double air ball threes for Zollins

[SPURt]

Collins is our guy. :pop:
Collins comes in and instantly makes it more glaring

[lefty20]

Jesus christ Collins, da fuq u doing bro?

[Jordan Jackson]

Zach Collins is the anti-Christ.

[skin27]

2 airball by collins:bang

[Dejounte]

CP doesn’t want to pass to Zach anymore lmao

[Spurs Homer]

Players i hate….

zollins

china doll vassell

bLackhole branham

bricklayin wesley

[objective]

How is Mitch feeling?

How does he leave Castle and even Keldon out that long?

Big Jim Boylen energy, forgetting he had Kawhi

[onechance87]

How is Mitch feeling?

How does he leave Castle and even Keldon out that long?

Big Jim Boylen energy, forgetting he had Kawhi

keldon is terrible bro

[heyheymymy]

sensational move by castle wow

[onechance87]

tre jones lol

[TekXX]

Keldon sucks, tre sucks, cut those bums

[skin27]

Stupid pass by keldon

[SPURt]

Lol Tre, that was embarrassing :lol

[BackHome]

If Vassell could finish like Castle does with contact he would be elite

[onechance87]

collins really is dumb

[Degoat]

Boy Zach Collins has been awful

[LeBowen]

Anyone ever told Collins not to bring the ball down in the paint?

[exstatic]

This thing isn't on Fanduel?

KENS

[Dejounte]

The guys fighting valiantly without three key guys

[AusSpur]

Collins with the offensive rebound next to the rim and decides he wants to take dribble :bang

[TekXX]

I want Castle to be selfish, stop passing to these guys who airball it

[Strategic]

Collins rebounds and then brings the ball down so they can take it from him. Jeez

[objective]

If only Collins didn't have a Brian Wrong mega contract, Bassey could get the time he deserves

[skin27]

If Vassell could finish like Castle does with contact he would be elite

vassell is only a shooter he doesnt have a slashing skills.

[Kuvai]

What a worst sequence for Zollins there.

[onechance87]

closing the qtr with keldon over champ lol

[BackHome]

Keldon and Collins are the exact same players

[SPURt]

Did Zollins get benched?

[lefty20]

Kyrie hacked the shit out of Castle and Keldon w/o a whistle. Must be nice, tbh.

[AusSpur]

Barnes playing like he put a huge bet on the Mavs

[Strategic]

Spurs sure do need a good closer.

[objective]

Charles Bassey is doing good, honoring the number of another terribly misused and under played Spurs legend, Ian Mahinmi

[skin27]

3rd quarter collapse incoming per usual

[LeBowen]

Can't expect more with this rotation, solid effort so far.

[lefty20]

3rd quarter collapse incoming per usual

Spurs are one of the better 3rd Q teams this year. I think we're outscoring opponents by 63 pts in the quarter so far.

[skin27]

Spurs are one of the better 3rd Q teams this year. I think we're outscoring opponents by 63 pts in the quarter so far.


we’ll see

[TekXX]

If Castle can figure out how to finish these drives, he's in buisness.

[lefty20]

we’ll see
That being said.... I'm sure that +63 margin is about to take a hit :lol

[TekXX]

Yea it did turn out to be a 3rd quarter collapse

[skin27]

Here comes the 3rd quarter collapse :lmao

[td4mvp2k]

barnes is a corpse

[skin27]

That being said.... I'm sure that +63 margin is about to take a hit :lol

3 quarter curse is going on for i think 3 seasons already lmao

[Dejounte]

Luka looks like a shell of himself. WTH happened? He’s also barely handling the ball and playmaking much less.

[thiste]

Can't expect to be competitive when your 2 best defenders are out

[BackHome]

Castle doesn’t want to shoot

[skin27]

Can't expect to be competitive when your 2 best defenders are out

yeah they tanked this game by resting a 20 year old Wemby lmao.

[td4mvp2k]

these refs lmao

[TekXX]

Mitch don't be afraid to challenge these calls

[Kuvai]

Refss are atrocious

[onechance87]

Castle should be handling the ball every play

[thiste]

yeah they tanked this game by resting a 20 year old Wemby lmao.
Well, considering last season it was pretty much a given that they don't like Wemby playing back to backs. As soon as they have an excuse not to let him play them, they'll use it.

[onechance87]

Can't expect to be competitive when your 2 best defenders are out

wemby is out,But castle is playing bro.

[SPURt]

wemby is out,But castle is playing bro.
+1

[objective]

Refs are awful

Where's Mitch-Sub? Why isn't he sticking up for his guys getting mugged?

Get a damn tech and fight for your guys

Less time orchestrating fake articles "oh, he was for sure almost the head coach in Washington, totally serious!" AND MORE TIME acting like a coach

[skin27]

Well, considering last season it was pretty much a given that they don't like Wemby playing back to backs. As soon as they have an excuse not to let him play them, they'll use it.

which i think is stupid AF.. wemby still young 20 year old. There is no problem playing him back to back games

[BackHome]

Fat lady is signing game is over.

[onechance87]

Not sure why fans got excited about having tre back.Dude does nothing great.I would still like a better backup pg to upgrade

[Strategic]

That couldn’t taste good to Collins.

[spursparker9]

Remember the 2025 draft. Not gonna be upset about losses :lol

[skin27]

This team arent serious about winning yet if they continue to rest wemby on the 2nd game of back to backs.

[AusSpur]

Mitch hates Mamu more than Pop

[onechance87]

This team arent serious about winning yet if they continue to rest wemby on the 2nd game of back to backs.

bro we gotta try to get in the top 10 lottery picks.Atl looking good...So we gonna have to tank for it ourselves.
As you can see,This team needs more talent in this roster.

[TekXX]

Our play by play announcer praising Kryie, bring back bill Land.

[skin27]

bro we gotta try to get in the top 10 lottery picks.Atl looking good...So we gonna have to tank for it ourselves.

nah we dont need to tank. Just play smart and play Wemby more minutes and games

[spursparker9]

:lol Castle might average 10 asts if he is not playing with these scrubs

[skin27]

Castle back to earth with 9pts and 30%fg

[onechance87]

nah we dont need to tank. Just play smart and play Wemby more minutes and games

you need smart players to play smart basketball.You got players like collins,Keldon,branham and wesley who have
no iq getting a good chunk of mins.They have no iq,They have no talent.We need to upgrade big time.

[Splits]

Our leading scorer back in

[td4mvp2k]

this half has been ****

[objective]

Another season of guaranteed money for Branham and Wesley to pair with Collins and Barnes

Wright must be so proud

[SPURt]

Branham and Wesley just stacking bricks, good lawd

[skin27]

Welp. Hope they bounce back tuesday against the thunder

[tbdog]

What's the point of Johnson?

[slick'81]

Thunder probably kill us

[onechance87]

What's the point of Johnson?

to tank i guess.Its so obvious him and collins are negatives on this team.Why else keep playing them.Same goes for
branham and wesley.

[ismael-robert]

Actually thought tre moved ball better than Chris, hit his first 3, not having wemby n dev to throw ball to can't be easy

[BackHome]

nah we dont need to tank. Just play smart and play Wemby more minutes and games

No we are really bad as Dallas has a worse record then we do and still easily beat us.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully spurs learn their lesson and never offer players like Keldon and Zollins ridiculous amounts of money ever again.

[timtonymanu]

No we are really bad as Dallas has a worse record then we do and still easily beat us.

I think having 3 of our best players out had something to do with that too.

[Jordan Jackson]

Branham and Wesley just stacking bricks, good lawd

Golden state had the splash brothers. The spurs got the brick brothers. That was a woeful shooting display by both of them.

Might be wasting development resources on those two. Everyone better be praying to the lottery Gods that the Spurs or Hawks pick hits.

[spursparker9]

Welp. Hope they bounce back tuesday against the thunder

:lol

Thunder by 30 tbh

[poopbox]

you need smart players to play smart basketball.You got players like collins,Keldon,branham and wesley who have

You know who typically aren't smart players who play smart basketball? Rookies that you draft.

Spurs need talent but they need veteran talent. This team would be better served getting good veteran players than getting a top 3 pick in the 2025 draft and then having to wait to until 2027 and 2028 to find out if that player is really even that good or not.

Luckily, they have plenty of assets to get a superstar vet (preferably a wing). They just have to wait for the right opportunity.

[Ice009]

I had to turn this one off in the 4th quarter as I was trying to watch it just now. Why did Victor and Devin sit? I would have liked to have seen Stephon be more aggressive with his offense and look to score.

[BackHome]

He tried early but his shot was not falling

[Fireball]

Unwatchable. Hopefully Wemby is back on Tuesday :pray

[poopbox]

I'm not so sure we actually do. Now that there is so much parity in the league almost all time are trying to compete, and the ones that aren't are already bad and have draft picks.

[Dex]

Wemby banged knees with Davis against the Lakers. He finished that game but looked off and apparently was limping in the locker room...so best to sit.

Vassell was a DNP for "injury management"...take from that what you will

[RC_Drunkford]

Wemby said in the Lakers post game interview he's good and can play. Of course the Spurs sit him :lol

I'm okay with both, though it really sucked watching the second half. One of the few games per season I turned off before the end

[Dex]

Wemby said in the Lakers post game interview he's good and can play. Of course the Spurs sit him :lol

Competitors always want to play if they love the game. I've played on sprained ankles for rec leagues just because I wanted to be out there, and my games didn't mean shit.

Sometimes the coaches have to protect the players from themselves, but it's a good sign Wemby is fighting to get out on the court unlike some other divas in the NBA :rolleyes
