San Antonio Spurs (11-9) @ Phoenix Suns (11-8) 9pm EST 12/3/24

[KingKev]

Kicking things off early as this ain’t no regular degular early December match! These two clubs are competing for an eventual shot at the NBA Cup!!!

Spurs win = winning West Group B and moving on to knockout rounds

Spurs loss = still have a chance at a wild card spot

Suns favoured by 7.5

Injuries: Tre Jones OUT, Sochan GTD for the Spurs. Nurk OUT, Beal GTD for Suns.

Let’s fking goooooo!!!!!!

[LeBowen]

Too bad Nurkic is out, he's too slow for us.
They'll probably play small most of the game, I don't want to see extended minutes for Collins.

KD will match up with Wemby, hopefully Wemby can tire him out and prevent him from being efficent on the other and of the floor.
Castle needs to stop Booker, we can live with Beal getting his.

Bench needs to be the difference and win the game for us.

[KingKev]

Would be nice to have Sochan available to bother Beal and Booker.

[Seventyniner]

The most consequential game the Spurs have played in a long time. This would be a huge win if the Spurs can pull it off.

[skin27]

It would be nice if somehow we sneak the W this one

[skin27]

Would be nice to have Sochan available to bother Beal and Booker.
Is sochan going to play tonight?

[RC_Drunkford]

this should be playoff atmosphere right here. Let's see if the young guys are ready.

[Em-City]

After the big wins recently I'm actually hopeful for this one. Wee should at least keep it close.

[exstatic]

Is sochan going to play tonight?

Game time decision, apparently.

[skin27]

Off topic. I was surprise about the Rockets, how come they they’re on 2nd seed right now with no MVP candidate on the team. Who is playing well for them?

[John B]

The woeful Nets beat them at Sun’s home last Wednesday with Martin scoring 30pts and Simmons almost a double-double in a high scoring game. Suns has no interior defense. I like Castle (and Sochan) to keep attacking the ring. Wemby/KD can neutralize each other. Bassey can redeem himself being aggressive rolling hard. Spurs has a good chance to win this. GSG!!!

[scott]

No esoteric location time zones in the thread title = built in excuse if we don't win. Way to go, KingKev.

[Mugen]

Them being competitive in this game would be pretty telling tbh :lol

[Rosewood]

the team has been surprisingly good this season but I’d be pretty shocked if we won this. Suns are one of the better teams in the league with two superstar players and Wemby embarrassed them early last year in two games.

[z0sa]

Biggest game in years for the org. Advancing in the cup to the knockout rounds alone would be a major achievement after last season's disaster. GSG!!!

[KingKev]

No esoteric location time zones in the thread title = built in excuse if we don't win. Way to go, KingKev (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=52391).

Did I just subconsciously jinx us in an effort to downplay the relevance of the NBA cup? Maybe. I do sometimes identify as a boomer who doesn’t like change.

But still GSG!!!

GSG

[MannyIsGod]

I respect the troll KingKev.

[LeBowen]

Suns are a top heavy team, with Jeremy back our bench needs to outplay and outscore theirs if we're to win the game.
They have no paint presence other than Plumlee, we need to attack the rim more.

[Joseph Kony]

Off topic. I was surprise about the Rockets, how come they they’re on 2nd seed right now with no MVP candidate on the team. Who is playing well for them?

-boatload of top 5 picks in the last few years
-Sengun emerging
-great coaching
-solid vet additions for the young guys
-Tari Eason looking like a DPOY candidate

[emanueldavidginobili]

Sochan is officially listed as probable, looks like he’s playing tonight.

[Mr. Body]

We have a better record than the Suns at this point and they're not even playing bad.

[spurraider21]

really curious to see how the starting lineup unfolds now that we're at full health (minus Tre, who isnt in the starting equation)

i think with Tre out, there's more reason to bench Castle to have him be the primary reserve PG as well as getting some SG minutes as he has. now is he replaced by Vassell or Sochan? and if both of those guys end up starting, does Champagnie get the boot? he's been doing well, feels weird to demote him.

deets on this

[scott]

We have a better record than the Suns at this point and they're not even playing bad.

11-9 is, in fact, not better than 11-8.

[heyheymymy]

Anyone able to post the injury update info on Tre Jones and his eta to return please?

What's the damage?

[Davidicus]

GO SPURS GO

[Joseph Kony]

11-9 is, in fact, not better than 11-8.

:lol oof

[heyheymymy]

Anyone able to post the injury update info on Tre Jones and his eta to return please?

What's the damage?

https://archive.ph/F7VEp

looks like he's just day-to-day with the new injury

[heyheymymy]

There’s no timeline for Jones’ return but he revealed there is no structural damage, so the news is not all bad.

[John B]

There’s no timeline for Jones’ return but he revealed there is no structural damage, so the news is not all bad.

Good to hear that. I can’t wait for this team to be in full strength. The silver lining being Champ and Castle gotten opportunities and both took advantage

[Mugen]

If Tre is out for a while (2+ weeks) and Devin doesn't have any setbacks, I'm inclined to move Castle back to the bench and start Vassell again.

I wanted Steph to stay in that role but Champagnie has been money and I'd rather Wesley not be the primary PG backup tbh.

[Seventyniner]

11-9 is, in fact, not better than 11-8.

The Spurs have a better net rating (+0.3) than the Suns (-0.8) on basically the same strength of schedule.

I give the Suns the advantage because they're the home team and have more team experience in a playoff-like atmosphere, but the line of -7.5 feels a bit high to me.

[ginobilized]

Sprained left shoulder for Tre. No timetable, yet.
Fortunate that there wasn't a break or a dislocation. Looked gnarly.

[Pauleta14]

Off topic. I was surprise about the Rockets, how come they they’re on 2nd seed right now with no MVP candidate on the team. Who is playing well for them?

Ime is the reason.

Best coach in the league by a margin

[Pauleta14]

If Tre is out for a while (2+ weeks) and Devin doesn't have any setbacks, I'm inclined to move Castle back to the bench and start Vassell again.

I wanted Steph to stay in that role but Champagnie has been money and I'd rather Wesley not be the primary PG backup tbh.

For now Vassell is perfect off the bench, we need his scoring and he can close with the starters if he's hot.

It also helps him get back into shape and confidence vs 2 units (for now)

[Mr. Body]

11-9 is, in fact, not better than 11-8.

I flipped them, yeah.

[KingKev]

I respect the troll KingKev.

All in good fun sir! GSG!

[lrrr]

He's got a bit of African in him... in a good way

[r0drig0lac]

Sochan is back? great

[ginobilized]

He's got a bit of African in him... in a good way

Is this Danny Ferry's account?

Good thing we got Sochan back since Tre is out. We need that PG depth.

Go Spurs Go

[Fireball]

:flag:

[scott]

Well that’s not the start we were hoping for

[Fireball]

great start :bang

[onechance87]

sheesh

[Tyronn Lue]

Spurs need to shoot more 27' threes

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

Wemby has to take advantage of these mismatches and stop looking to pass.

[ginobilized]

Lull them into a false sense of security and then BOOM!

That might be the Spurs strategy

[scott]

Holy Bricksgiving, it’s a Toyota Brickathon

[Tyronn Lue]

Lull them into a false sense of security and then BOOM!

That might be the Spurs strategy
"here, take a 15 point lead so we'll have some challenges"

[scott]

Devin came to play today

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Unfortunately Wemby is still soft in the paint, has no jump hook or anything

[Fireball]

Wemby too often takes too long to get his competitive juices flowing ... thankfully the bench guys came to the rescue

[ginobilized]

Weird seeing Brent Barry behind the Suns bench

[heyheymymy]

Sochan already helping out on the offensive glass

[Tyronn Lue]

Stinking it up so far

[TekXX]

Wemby -20

[Fireball]

Wemby suckedisucks tonight

[Robz4000]

Team legit better with Wemby on the bench tonight tbh.

[scott]

Defensive Player of the Month looks lethargic on that side of the court again…

That 8-0 run that we gave up to end the quarter was killer.

[MannyIsGod]

That might be the worst quarter of Wembys career

[SPURt]

14% from three ain’t gonna get it done

[BatManu20]

Wemby building a house with all these bricks. That was rough.

[baseline bum]

JFC Victor is -16 through one quarter. Quit fucking jacking up threes. :pctoss

[SPURt]

That might be the worst quarter of Wembys career
This

[Tyronn Lue]

Wemby too often takes too long to get his competitive juices flowing ... thankfully the bench guys came to the rescue
Seems to prefer drifting around the 3pt line early on and shooting 3s. When they go it looks great. When they don't second guessing comes easy when he's 7'5 with that bag of skills.

[sananspursfan21]

I have GOT to start placing bets on this team starting off embarrassingly horrible on offense

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby has to take advantage of these mismatches and stop looking to pass.

I think we need to get used to the fact that Wemby may need up being a soft player that's afraid of contact... Which is why he shoots so many threes... I thought he had some dog in him because of his rookie year, but it seems I may be wrong about him

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby doesn't even roll to the rim anymore... He immediately pops... Smh

[scott]

Really nice energy from Sochan - defensive intensity turned up here to start the second, need to keep that up

[100%duncan]

Sochan picking up where he left off

[Tyronn Lue]

:lol watching ESPN scoreboard, they cannot get the Spurs score right.

[Robz4000]

At least Sochan still looks great.

[emanueldavidginobili]

When the shot isn’t going for Vic he needs to find ways to get an easy basket.

[sananspursfan21]

Wemby hasn’t even been remotely close on any of his attempts

[TekXX]

Wemby built a damn mansion in the Dominion with all these bricks.

[scott]

Bricktor’s Return. Hopefully he shakes this shit off ASAP. Need CP3 to tell him to start rolling and get some easier attempts and get momentum rolling.

[Tyronn Lue]

Spurs have taking 29 shots, 16 of those from the 3pt line. They've made 2 of the 16.

[BatManu20]

Wemby needs to quick jacking 3's early in the shot clock and get his gigantic ass down in the paint. There's nobody on PHX even remotely tall enough to guard him down there.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby needs actual coaching... His great games can't be dependent on if he is hot from 3 or not... What the fuck is going on in San Antonio coaching room?

[100%duncan]

KD still money after all these years. Jesus what an automatic bucket

[MannyIsGod]

On one hand I admire how he keeps shooting but at some point get an easy shot just to see the ball go in.

[baseline bum]

Wemby needs to quick jacking 3's early in the shot clock and get his gigantic ass down in the paint. There's nobody on PHX remotely tall enough to guard him down there.

Booker is tall enough to guard him in the post :lol

[Knoxxx]

Champagnie showed poor judgement on the quick trigger 3 also on the break we don’t seem to want to cut and play real offense just launch rapid fire 3s. And Barnes has been horrid.

[heyheymymy]

Barnes struggling to finish on those gimmies

[Kawhi Duncan]

If this isn't corrected in coaching, Wemby will simply become Shawn Bradley with a green light from 3... He isn't using ANYTHING that makes him special or different... 7 footers shoots threes... Big deal... We have seen it... Drive to the fucking rim

[Knoxxx]

Wow Wemby WHY!?!?!?

[Leetonidas]

Bro wtf is Wemby doing. Playing like straight garbage

[Dejounte]

What the fuck victor

[100%duncan]

Victor deserves to get benched. What a horrible game

[scott]

Barnes showing zero touch around the basket tonight… sheesh.

Wemby trying to pump fake dudes from 27 feet out when he’s missing the basket by 5 feet. :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

I love Wemby but my god get your ass as deep as you can in the post and turn around and shoot it. Get a fucking point on the board.

[Tyronn Lue]

If this isn't corrected in coaching, Wemby will simply become Shawn Bradley with a green light from 3... He isn't using ANYTHING that makes him special or different... 7 footers shoots threes... Big deal... We have seen it... Drive to the fucking rim
He's on the court with Kevin Durant, he wants to show his range. This is where a coach has to step in and tell Julian to stop shooting threes :lol

[BatManu20]

What the fuck is Wemby doing :lol. Dude looks like hot shit out there.

[Knoxxx]

We should be down 20+ this is a joke it’s like Wemby is the scarecrow lacking a brain.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby might not be him, fellas... I don't see them changing our coaches anytime soon... So this is who he is gonna be... For whatever reason they're either scared to coach him, or incompetent

[MannyIsGod]

Almost no chance we win tonight if Wemby is a net negative on the court. Think we're actually playing pretty well aside from him right now so hope he snaps out of it.

[Kuvai]

Wemby having top 2 worst game so far

[AusSpur]

Probably to most damagingly bad I've ever seen Wemby play so far - needs to find a way to get into this game for Spurs to win.

[Duncan2177]

How do you go from having a triple double to this BS? :lol

[sananspursfan21]

I’m amazed this is only a 12 point game. Suns should be more embarrassed than the Spurs over that

[scott]

Guess Wemby doesn’t care about the IST as much as MannyIsGod (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=76) and I do.

[itzkarl813]

My god Wemby...

[Tyronn Lue]

Spurs coach "guys, this is real, this is what we play for, this is the fucking NBA Emirates Cup"

[ginobilized]

But he's OUR hot shit

[BatManu20]

I’m amazed this is only a 12 point game. Suns should be more embarrassed than the Spurs over that

It'll balloon to 20+ here in a sec if Wemby doesn't pull his head out of his ass tbh. We don't have enough scoring to hang with these guys otherwise.

[Larry O]

It's frustrating to see V-Dub1 trying to establish his rhythm until the second half.

[100%duncan]

Wemby will have games where he’ll punish small guys in the post a la against the kings, and then do this shit right after :lol

[sananspursfan21]

Did the ref really just stuff Steph’s free throw??? :lol

[AusSpur]

incredibly dumb challenge by Bud

[scott]

Zach Collins is in to save us from horrible play from the C position.

[Tyronn Lue]

Wemby might not be him, fellas... I don't see them changing our coaches anytime soon... So this is who he is gonna be... For whatever reason they're either scared to coach him, or incompetent
:lol all this over less than half a game?

[sananspursfan21]

Vassell out here looking like the actual #1 pick

[heyheymymy]

Did the ref really just stuff Steph’s free throw??? :lol

I saw that too wtf

[scott]

Devin and Castle the only two MFs who have the proper level of respect for the NBA EMIRATES CUP

[TekXX]

Ok let's get this under 5, keep wemby on the bench.

[heyheymymy]

Save us Devin

[scott]

Vassell, wtf… take the layup.

[heyheymymy]

Has Mitch Johnson tried reminding the team that this is a cup tournament game?

[100%duncan]

We sti do not know how to run a fastbreak jesus

[BatManu20]

It's like the entire roster forgot how to shoot a basketball. All these motherfuckers are throwing up bricks.

[Dejounte]

Really good defense by champagnie. Bring us back vassell

[Larry O]

UGH! The Spurs can't make their opponents pay when they have open 3 point shots!

[AusSpur]

Vassell's jumper is just butter right now

[Knoxxx]

Collins is a zero out there but where is the offensive structure?

[Knoxxx]

Clearly Sochan was an X Factor we were missing.

[Dejounte]

DA CORE BRINGING US BACK… VASSELL, SOCHAN, CASTLE. FUTURE IS HERE

[Kawhi Duncan]

:lol all this over less than half a game?

It's been like this the entire season... He is shooting most of his shots from three... And missing a shit ton of them... He has also been scared to go to the rim... Almost always looks to pass when he posts up... Most of the time he doesn't even attempt to back his man down or drive... He never rolls to the basket after a pick... This isn't new... It's been this way the entire season

[Tyronn Lue]

This team needs Victor to come in and make a couple quick buckets in the paint, then crank up the D.

[ace3g]

Castle's 3rd and-1 of the game.

[TekXX]

It's good to see Castle actually finish around the rim, still has a lot of work to do.

[sananspursfan21]

I saw that too wtf

in my almost 30 years of watching basketball, I’ve never seen that before

[Knoxxx]

But why jump against a 6 foot PG?

[Frenchfred]

If Wemby plays at least at half his capacity, the Spurs win this game

[scott]

Collins is a zero out there but where is the offensive structure?

Zero from Collins is better than whatever the fuck Wemby has been giving us

[AusSpur]

Getting done by a scrub like Tre Jones' brother hurts

[TekXX]

Has Mitch Johnson tried reminding the team that this is a cup tournament game?

LOL is there a player in the league that actually cares?

[BatManu20]

This offense is fucking disgusting tbh.

[Larry O]

The rook is not looking good out there... again...

[BatManu20]

Collins is a zero out there but where is the offensive structure?

This. It's a total cluster-fuck on the offensive end.

[heyheymymy]

SUN BURNED

[Fireball]

what a shitty game

[scott]

Glad Bricktor got another clank from 3 in at the buzzer :lol

[TekXX]

Fitting end, Wemby clanking the rim.

[Tyronn Lue]

The rook is not looking good out there... again...
Needs to Castle, king side.

[sananspursfan21]

Only up 13 must feel like such a slap in the face for Phoenix

[emanueldavidginobili]

The biggest so called game for the spurs young squad. Wemby 0-6 from three 0-1 from 2 point range!!! 0 OREB just completely useless in the first half to be blunt.

[Knoxxx]

Spurs shooting 58% from 2 and 10% from 3.

[CGD]

WTF was that Wemby? 0 pts in the half is unacceptable.

[objective]

One of the worst offensive games of Wemby's career. Soft, disinterested, and scared.

It's my fault for taking the over on his points today.

[TekXX]

Does the coaching staff actually coach Wemby or does he get to do whatever he wants.

[Knoxxx]

Only up 13 must feel like such a slap in the face for Phoenix

Yep the Spurs were a joke and should be down double what they are.

Alice Cooper on the halftime show though!

[Kuvai]

Wemby has worst game.

But everyone around him except Vasell put in a stinker today.

[bbarry]

suns are probably the best record-wise in the west if durant didn't get injured for 7 games.

[BatManu20]

7'5 and extremely talented and didn't score a single point or grab a single board lol. Fair to say that's the worst half of Wemby's career, all things considered.

But he's not he only one. CP3, Barnes, and Zollins were all hot shit too.

[ginobilized]

39 pts

Wemby looks sick, tired or dysregulated n some way. Not even guarding Mason Plumee well. Very unWemby-like.

Whole team is dazed

Alice Cooper is on the Suns feed for halftime

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby doesn't even go after rebounds... If it doesn't fall in his lap, he doesn't go after it... Dude has no dog in him

[Tyronn Lue]

Collins with zero points but the only player in the positive +/- @+5 :lol

[rascal]

One of the worst offensive games of Wemby's career. Soft, disinterested, and scared.

It's my fault for taking the over on his points today.

Wemby is just launching 3 point shots.

[Mugen]

Bad Wemby is easily one of the worst players in the league. He's not even trying on defense right now :lol

[Tyronn Lue]

Wemby is just launching 3 point shots.
Victor either gets into the paint or sits the bench. He's useless out beyond the arc if he's not hitting the 3.

[rankingtear]

Wemby needs to wake up. Deer in the headlights type shit.

[TE]

Spurs seem a step slower today. The poor shooting does not help. Wemby seems disinterested and disengaged

[100%duncan]

Will Wemby keep passing out of the post in the 2nd half? Stay tuned tbh :lol

[Mugen]

The Suns have zero rim protection so the big brain Spurs decide to shoot 2/20 from 3 in the 1st half :lol

[ginobilized]

Alice Cooper is on par with the Spurs tonight, energy-wise

He's Pop's age, at least he has an excuse

[100%duncan]

As I’ve said, it’s pure entertainment but these games where they go down double digits for them to come back is getting tiring. And against a team with as much firepower as the Suns, this may not be the case today.

[Strategic]

The way Alice Cooper looks maybe they should have used him around Halloween.

[spurs1990]

Is that box score right - 0-8 including 0-6 from 3 and goose egg for Wembanyama??

[Mugen]

Is that box score right - 0-8 including 0-6 from 3 and goose egg for Wembanyama??

He's playing worse than the box score tbh :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

The cringiest Wemby play is where he’s 5ft from the basket and could literally just drop it in the hoop and decides to dump it off to Barnes or sochan out of position

[TimDunkem]

There are just some games where Wemby doesn't look to score or grab a board. No fire in him so far in this one.

[rascal]

Are the Spurs even being coached tonight? How can Wemby have no scoring inside?

Easy half time adjustment get Wemby inside to abuse Phoenix.

[Thomas82]

I see Wemby can't buy a basket tonight!! Definitely the worst half of his career.

[CGD]

Something Im watching for now that Sochan is back if how much Wemby defers to him on the offensive end. Like passing up shots and forcing it down low to him, etc. It was something I took note of before the injury.

[ambchang]

Kryptohan strikes again!

[scott]

Someone woke Wemby up at halftime

[ginobilized]

9 pts in 2 mins for Wemby

I like it

[Tyronn Lue]

This is the Victor we need.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Nice to see Wemby actually sack up

[scott]

They haven’t said anything about KD but he’s obviously not out there… is he out for the rest of the game?

Wemby logged into ST.com at halftime and saw us talking shit

[heyheymymy]

booker just got his 4th foul wow

[Kawhi Duncan]

See Wemby? See how you impact the game when you're not shooting 10 threes a game?

[scott]

Loving Castle’s aggression this game.

Too bad Coach Bud doesn’t have any challenges :lol

[scott]

KD out, Booker with 4 fouls… let’s fucking go boys.

[SpursFan86]

I know it’s not always this easy…but watching stretches like this one and the 4th quarter against Sacramento, it’s just baffling why we don’t play this way more often. Going entire quarters without making an intentional effort to get Wemby involved closer to the rim is just unacceptable.

[TekXX]

I guess Durant is out?

[ginobilized]

Booker 4 fouls

KD out (for now)

Wemby waking up

If we could get some 3s to fall, look out

[CGD]

So refreshing seeing Vic playing well in the paint.

[heyheymymy]

Suns 13 point lead trimmed to 3

[scott]

They’re leaving Booker in… attack him.

[sananspursfan21]

Yep the Spurs were a joke and should be down double what they are.

Alice Cooper on the halftime show though!

hahaha for his age it wasn’t half bad :lol

[Larry O]

Apparently, the Spurs are a 24 minute team that prefers to play in the 2nd half. SMH...

[Knoxxx]

WE BACK IN THIS FOLKS!!!

[TekXX]

Castle just doesn't have an offensive touch.

[Tyronn Lue]

If they'd get the ball to Victor that might be a good idea.

[Knoxxx]

According to the Score app chat Durant may be out, ankle?

[Knoxxx]

Barnes SO BAD tonight.

[poopbox]

Something Im watching for now that Sochan is back if how much Wemby defers to him on the offensive end. Like passing up shots and forcing it down low to him, etc. It was something I took note of before the injury.

It's because Sochan is only effective around the rim or going to the rim. If Victor is around the rim with him and scoring inside it completely negates anything Sochan would give you offensively. Because of that Victor has turned much more into an outside in player than inside out player. I totally disagree with it and would just get rid of Sochan and get a power forward via free agency or draft, but for now this is the direction the Spurs have chosen to go.

[BatManu20]

2/20 from 3 :lmao

[TekXX]

Barnes back to looking like garbage.

[scott]

I wish our Jones Brother could shoot threes like their Jones Brother, tbh

[Tyronn Lue]

Victor runs off 12 points and they stop getting him the ball and everyone just goes hero.

[Larry O]

Geez! All of these MISSED opportunities to add to the scoring!

[Tyronn Lue]

But Collins is in, we're all set now

[heyheymymy]

Tyus playing like the Spurs declined him

[CGD]

Dev still doing that stupid shit on defense.

[SpursFan86]

Had a chance to tie it before Castle missed two layups…since then it’s just been one bad possession after another. Now a double digit deficit again.

[Knoxxx]

Per Score app Durant to locker room - ankle.

[BatManu20]

Barnes and Castle can throw it in the ocean right now

[scott]

All that work… back to a 10 point deficit. SMH

[emanueldavidginobili]

Barnes is high as shit

[heyheymymy]

another brutal 8-0 PHX run right when SA heats up

[ace3g]

Get within 3-4 points, then back down 10+...

[Knoxxx]

That Castle 3 the toe looked close to line.

[scott]

KELDON WANTS THE NBA EMIRATES CUP

[Knoxxx]

We just cut it to 4 stop the drama LOL.

[objective]

Barnes has been absolute trash.

Paul has not been great running things. Sometimes he's so eager to get off the ball it results in a turnover. Such a rush to get off ball he has to get it to Champ who isn't ready and overthrows Barnes because he was about to lose it anyways.

[heyheymymy]

Jeesus Jerm

[TekXX]

Just get the layup sochan, who you trying to impress?

[Knoxxx]

Sochan goofs the easy dunk but Spurs back in it and this Suns team ain’t nothing special.

[scott]

Sochan wanted the cup too hard there

[Em-City]

Sochan could have finger-rolled that off the glass instead of trying to punch it through the rim

[Kuvai]

We miss Tre Jones..

[jesterbobman]

I didn't watch the first half, seems like I haven't missed much.

Two excellent Castle defensive plays around the Keldon and 1 - late contest on help at the end of the clock (no worries about leaving your man if there's 1 second left), digging down with hands on the drive.

I think we are seeing why Sochan is way better then Barnes, he’s a live wire while Barnes looks like a stiff.

[heyheymymy]

KD out for rest of game with ankle sprain

[heyheymymy]

[ace3g]

Keldon missed a dunk to...

[scott]

[100%duncan]

[BatManu20]

Keldon is so trash :lol

[sananspursfan21]

Is there a soft spot on the floor? KJ and Jeremy both getting denied by the rim in that same spot

[100%duncan]

Stupid ass Wemby

[vy65]

We earned this L

[scott]

Need to attack Booker and draw that 5th foul

Need to stop stupid turnovers

Need to make DUNKS

[sananspursfan21]

Dumb plays. Dumb passes leading to easy fast breaks. That’s losing basketball

[heyheymymy]

This 4th Q poised to be huge. Spurs not going away.

7 and-1s for SA tonight, 0 for PHX

[Knoxxx]

Congrats Barnes you have been demoted from the starting lineup.

[Larry O]

Bad shot selections and TOs are killing the Spurs!

[timtonymanu]

We earned this L

?. It’s still a winnable game.

[heyheymymy]

Spurs cut it to 4 going into the 4th.

[scott]

What a nice play, where did Mitch pull that one out of?!?

4 POINT GAME BOYS LETS FUCKING GO

[timtonymanu]

Barnes is bad today but let’s not already change our tune on him after one game. :lol

I’m expecting him to have bad games here and there.

[Strategic]

Damn sweet finish
