[exstatic]

GSG, and Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

[onechance87]

Redeem time for vassell.Hopng wemby puts on a show as well.Big game today boys

[Obstructed_View]

I'm with Dave. I hate Christmas day games, but this one should be fun. Merry Christmas, everyone.

[exstatic]

Redeem time for vassell.Hopng wemby puts on a show as well.Big game today boys

Vassell wasn’t the one that committed two dumb turnovers in the last couple of minutes. Maybe you meant redeem time for Champagne?

[spursparker9]

A gentle recap and a toast to the best Xmas Spur of all-time. Mason Jr!

[skin27]

Merry Christmas ya’ll! But we’re gonna get blow out by the knicks. We should’ve eon the game against 76ers.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Not expecting much but it is great to see us back on the Christmas games

[timtonymanu]

Them being competitive is good enough for me. Would be actually nice if they take this one but this team still has too much work to do.

[jeebus]

NY chanted "overrated" at Wemby last time; hopefully he remembers that and puts on a show.

[Pauleta14]

Hope I'm wrong but (too) early game with a "diesel" Wemby who's not gonna have his sleep quota...

We better be ready from the start with the Knicks offense, they can kill the game in the 1st QT

[RC_Drunkford]

I expect a bad game because we play very early. Are we getting new X-Mas jerseys?

[r0drig0lac]

Go!!!!

[KingKev]

Wemby finna go 20/20 from logo

[Fireball]

KAT will go bonkers ...

[John B]

Wemby playing great at the brightest lights. Castle playing big in front of families and friends, Vassell redeeming himself, CP3 showing he still has it. Spurs by 5 pts. GSG! :flag::flag::flag:

[RC_Drunkford]

Castle‘s 10 minutes will be huge

[spursparker9]

Let's hope it will be close at least.

Spurs always suck at afternoon games

[baseline bum]

Spurs 114
Knicks 106

[Raven]

I hope to see a lot of castle-champ-vassell-sochan-wemby lineups and some legitimate blake and mamu minutes

[100%duncan]

Its 1 am here and I have work in the morning. If we go down double digits its night night for me

[skin27]

:flag:

[TheBallsbreakers]

Anyone got any link to the game? I am seeing cartoons FFS

[LeBowen]

Devin can't guard Bridges.

Wemby is back to chucking and noone can hit a 3pt.

[skin27]

Wemby 0/4 already from 3

[Fireball]

Wemby can look so embarassing on offense ... dang

[Raven]

both teams cold from 3, but good D from the spurs

[BatManu20]

Wemby building a house early with all these bricks.

[TekXX]

Got damn Barnes is washed and then some.

[cutewizard]

pound them

[cutewizard]

you better win or ill unleash the Jackal on all of you sluggish players !!!

[cutewizard]

its jackallllllllllllllllllllllll timeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[cutewizard]

[cutewizard]

barnes is tired, omg

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby soft

[cutewizard]

fuck vasel

[Raven]

i hate these sochan as a center lineups

[baseline bum]

Who is doing color commentary on ABC right now?

[baseline bum]

Anyone got any link to the game? I am seeing cartoons FFS

Are you watching on ESPN2? :lol

The real broadcast is on ABC.

[TekXX]

Vassell looking like a pile of doodoo

[itzsoweezee]

Microball for the spurs. Probably the best option right now

[TekXX]

Who is doing color commentary on ABC right now?

No clue, but i guess he played for the Spurs.

[SayNoToDrugsTBH]

Yeah mitch, don't put any rebounder in.

[Raven]

gotta love when you draft for max size and then play small

[mikec]

No clue, but i guess he played for the Spurs.

Cory Alexander. I remember he played with the Spurs rode the bench I think early 2000s maybe? Not for too long.

[LeBowen]

If that's not a foul it should be 2 points for us, Tre made a layup.

[Raven]

that is one of strangest challenges i've ever seen

[itzsoweezee]

The calls that Brunson gets are just absurd. I hate watching this dude play.

[BatManu20]

It’s hard watching a 7’5 player brick every single long jump shot he takes tbh

[BatManu20]

Wemby finally knocks down a 3 as I say that. Hopefully the first of many today tbh.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby finally knocks down a 3 as I say that. Hopefully the first of many today tbh.

The threes are tiring... I miss Wemby that used to dunk... His good offensive games being dependent on him hitting threes is horrible development

[TheBallsbreakers]

Castle gotta work on his free throws man

[TheBallsbreakers]

Are you watching on ESPN2? :lol

The real broadcast is on ABC.
They had that Disney 3d game WTF
Finally found the right link.
I'm a plebeian fool so ...

[Fireball]

solid stuff now!

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby shutting you all up

[Raven]

great stretch there, ny fell asleep hard

[TheBallsbreakers]

Great start to the 2nd, up 7!

[skin27]

Great start of 2nd quarter

[heyheymymy]

Lol knicks 1-15 3pa

[Raven]

The threes are tiring... I miss Wemby that used to dunk... His good offensive games being dependent on him hitting threes is horrible development

it so isn't... it will keep him healthy for a lot longer, not to mention it is much easier to make 50+ points games on threes

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby's 3s look really good now. I'm basically surprised if he misses.

[LeBowen]

I prefer Wemby chucking to these isos that always look horrible.

[100%duncan]

1-15 was fool’s gold when you have this kind of 3pt defense.

[skin27]

I prefer Wemby chucking to these isos that always look horrible.

like i said its better for him to take midrange than logo 3’s

[TheBallsbreakers]

defense goes to shit when Wemby takes a sit

[onechance87]

vassell as bad as branham lmao

[TekXX]

This team will never get over .500 with this current teams construction.

[TheBallsbreakers]

I prefer Wemby chucking to these isos that always look horrible.
They do not always look horrible. When he's on balance and there is good spacing he can be pretty elegant in there.
No need to be melodramatic.

[Pauleta14]

The stats they just gave on Wemby on/off the court are wow

Opp shoot the further-est with Wemby on and 3rd closest with him off

The fear factor

[TekXX]

Sochan isn't serious, you're not winning long term with this dude.

[Pauleta14]

Sochan chose his day to have his worst game smh

He misses and fumble everything

[td4mvp2k]

steph is on another level

[Fireball]

Three nice dunks ... wtf is going on?

[mikec]

OMG CASTLE

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby double-double already. On pace for 40 and 20 haha

[Pauleta14]

Castle's head was rim high!!!

Wow

[poopbox]

This team has a cap on how good they can be as long as Sochan is wearing a spurs jersey. This dude has to be spoon fed EVERYTHING. We have two turnovers because he wasn't even looking for a pass coming to him, because it wasn't right around the rim.

Chris Paul barely looks at him when they are on the court together cause he knows sochan is trash :rollin

[vy65]

https://media.tenor.com/NN89l8Ln8iIAAAAe/randy-marsh-south-park.png

[Fireball]

Spurs are making sure they will play on Christmas more often ...

[100%duncan]

Wemby heard us talking abt rebounds :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby shitting on the spurs talk haters lol

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby is just ridiculous right now.
What a showcase.
Castle showing off too with the commish in the house.

[vy65]

That fucking Castle dunk

[MannyIsGod]

That was the funnest half of the year

[spursparker9]

The disney game is shit

[Fireball]

Wemby heard us talking abt rebounds :lol

compared to Philly, NY is really not trying to challenge him so when he does not have to contest shots he can get more rebounds ...

[spursparker9]

Castle's head was rim high!!!

Wow

Didn't know he got that bounce in him

[TekXX]

Wemby showing up big for a game in NY probably seals DPOY

[Kuvai]

Wembyyyy is unreallllll

[skin27]

Great first half for wemby

[timtonymanu]

Wemby shitting all over MSG. Just like so many greats before him did

[spursparker9]

Wemby is coming for all nba 2nd team tbh. When his logo 3 is falling, he is goat mode

[LeBowen]

They do not always look horrible. When he's on balance and there is good spacing he can be pretty elegant in there.
No need to be melodramatic.

The issue is that he's too easy to throw off balance and his handle will always be too high due to his size.
Obviously they'll keep doing it because that's the best way to improve, but it's annoying to watch at this stage.

Solid game so far, but Knicks won't finish at 19% from 3pt, we'll need to take it up a notch in the second half.

[scott]

Didn't have full attention as we were opening presents during the first half (thanks for the HST shout out in the thread title exstatic, Merry Christmas friend), but Bridges 7 straight points on Vassell to open the game was hilarious. Wemby is beasting. Can we get more threads about rebounds?

[Obstructed_View]

Wemby shitting on the spurs talk haters lol
With no steals and 2 blocks? Please.

[objective]

Gotta give Vassell some love for his dunk

Meanwhile, Sochan playing like he's drunk

[TekXX]

Gotta give Vassell some love for his dunk

Meanwhile, Sochan playing like he's drunk

Vassell looks like crap, one dunk doesn't fix that.

[timtonymanu]

Would be nice if the trio of Vassell, Keldon and Barnes did something for the crap we’re paying them

[Fireball]

VasselL's dunk was better than Castle's ...

[onechance87]

Gotta give Vassell some love for his dunk

Meanwhile, Sochan playing like he's drunk

credit for a dunk lol.....hes on pace to score like 10 points this game.Our higest paid player to needs to wake up on both ends of the floor.
Hes better then that.

[cutewizard]

leadinbg at the half

[Dex]

All I want for Christmas is 20 years of Wemby

[Mr. Body]

This team has a cap on how good they can be as long as Sochan is wearing a spurs jersey. This dude has to be spoon fed EVERYTHING. We have two turnovers because he wasn't even looking for a pass coming to him, because it wasn't right around the rim.

Chris Paul barely looks at him when they are on the court together cause he knows sochan is trash :rollin

Man these takes are dogshit.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Vassell wide open CLANKKKK

[timtonymanu]

Of course Vassell missed that

[LeBowen]

Devin can't even make wide open 3pts anymore.

[BatManu20]

Vassell and Barnes are so ass

[TheBallsbreakers]

Sochan what an idiot

[timtonymanu]

God what a terrible start to this half

[Pauleta14]

Low IQ Sochan in full display smh

[BatManu20]

Harrison Barnes randomly won WC Player of the week a month ago and decided to hang it up for the season. Dude's been mostly ass ever since.

[timtonymanu]

Harrison Barnes randomly won WC Player of the week 4 weeks ago and decided to hang it up for the season. Dude's been mostly ass ever since.

I keep saying it’s amazing how he can look like a 50 year old yet isn’t that old in basketball years

[100%duncan]

Fuck Vassell at this point tbh

[timtonymanu]

Such a predicable run ugh

[onechance87]

vassell its ur turn to help this team.

[spursparker9]

KAT waking up

[TekXX]

I keep saying it’s amazing how he can look like a 50 year old yet isn’t that old in basketball years

Of course these guys run to the Spurs who they know hand out a contract.

[Pauleta14]

We need someone else than Wemby to step up

Give Castle the green light to attack the rim and put them in quick foul trouble

[TheBallsbreakers]

I hate all these putback dunk attempts. Just come down with the rebound and put it back in. So many wasted possessions this way.

[onechance87]

KAT waking up

hopefully vassell wakes up anytime now

[Rosewood]

Vassell ain’t it. Hate to say it but it’s true.

[skin27]

Anybody who thinks vassell is going to be a allstar caliber player is delusional.he is just a role player

[timtonymanu]

Hate on Sochan all you want. He’s at least making baskets.

[LeBowen]

That was a good block.

[Guru of Nothing]

Don't think they'll win the goaltending challenge.

[rascal]

That looked like a clean block for Wemby

[timtonymanu]

Vassell finally hit one. Step the fuck up already, dude.

[spursparker9]

bad challenge. it is goaltend

[Pauleta14]

Stupid challenge smh

[BatManu20]

Spurs really need a true #2 guy to help Wemby out. Vassell is a 3rd option at best and the rest of these guys on the roster are nothing more than role players. Don't think I see Castle developing enough offensively to be a #2. This is where De'Aaron Fox would be really useful. A guy who can take the pressure off us offensively and go get us some baskets when the Offense is in a lull like it is right now.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Uh oh ball looks like it's on the its way down

[rascal]

Wemby is already in year two looking like the best player in the league.

[Thomas82]

Call overturned!!

[Ignazzz]

Another record for Wemby during XMD

[LeBowen]

Always rated Tony Brothers.

[Guru of Nothing]

Glad I was wrong.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wow it was successful? !

[skin27]

They count it as a block

[Pauleta14]

Refs got it wrong imo but I take it ^^

[timtonymanu]

It was a clear block, didn’t even hit the cylinder.

[Rosewood]

Refs got it wrong imo but I take it ^^
You don’t like admitting when you’re wrong :lol

[100%duncan]

Rebounding :lol

[Rosewood]

Lol this is a 15 seed team without Victor.

[LeBowen]

I'm not sure Keldon is better than Mamu, tbh.

[Pauleta14]

You don’t like admitting when you’re wrong :lol

I like trusting my eyes

Watch it again ;)

[onechance87]

keldon is so bad

[BatManu20]

Spurs also need more size badly. We're really small outside of Wemby. Bunch of 6'4 - 6'7 guys ain't gonna cut it defensively.

[Rosewood]

I like trusting my eyes

Watch it again ;) nah. You just don’t know basketball very well.

[rascal]

Wemby not on the court.

Spurs will lose this lead

[SayNoToDrugsTBH]

apocalypto is a 3rd option AT BEST.

[100%duncan]

Rebounding also killed us vs sixers. Mitch overreacting benching Bassey. This is bad coaching tbh

[timtonymanu]

How have we actually won games without Vic this season? He’s literally all we have.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Jalen Brunson's game is just.... odious. Fuck that foul-baiting bullshit

[BatManu20]

Keldon doesn't have a future in San Antonio.

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs also need more size badly. We're really small outside of Wemby. Bunch of 6'4 - 6'7 guys ain't gonna cut it defensively.

They’ve drafted nothing but little guys for years, other than wemby

[spursparker9]

:lol Fuck. Didn't knew that Spurs can pull off a death lineup as well. :lol Sochan being the tallest guy

[timtonymanu]

nah. You just don’t know basketball very well.

Watch out before she keeps calling you a Karen when you prove she’s wrong.

[BatManu20]

Jalen Brunson's game is just.... odious. Fuck that foul-baiting bullshit

Yup. He and Trae Young both do that shit constantly. Fuck them both tbh.

[Dex]

Fun game. Our guys are hanging in there...gonna need a solid 4th quarter

[Obstructed_View]

The ref takeover. Just in time.

[TekXX]

Castle isn't at an NBA level with finishing, dude needs to work on that because he's bad right now.

[Thomas82]

Man, we HAVE to to pull this one out. We can't waste this game Wemby is having.

[Pauleta14]

nah. You just don’t know basketball very well.

What a great argument that has nothing to do with the topic

You're so smart

[Spurs Brazil]

Those Keldon Johnson minutes are tough. He’s really, really bad. And Vassell is getting killed on D

[LeBowen]

I don't care who sits, but Champagnie needs to play at least 25 minutes every game.
Our only shooter who isn't trash defensively.

[timtonymanu]

Front office needs to cut the “do right by our guys” crap and start unloading all this deadweight. Can’t be wasting Wemby’s good years by bringing back this same core next season.

[Pauleta14]

Watch out before she keeps calling you a Karen when you prove she’s wrong.

Nah there's only one Karen on ST :lol

Jealous?

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs are losing this game unless wemby plays the entire 4th quarter. Spurs just don’t have anyone that can get a bucket

[Thomas82]

We need a monster 4th quarter from Wemby!!

[spursparker9]

Man, we HAVE to to pull this one out. We can't waste this game Wemby is having.

It is hard for Wemby playing 1 vs 8 :lol

[Rosewood]

What a great argument that has nothing to do with the topic

You're so smart and you’re the single worst poster upstairs. Go to Reddit, please.

[Thomas82]

Spurs are losing this game unless wemby plays the entire 4th quarter. Spurs just don’t have anyone that can get a bucket

Facts!!

[Thomas82]

It is hard for Wemby playing 1 vs 8 :lol

Yeah, I know.....easier said than done.

[timtonymanu]

Nah there's only one Karen on ST :lol

Jealous?

Yeah that Karen is you. :lol

:cry let me call you Karen when I can’t defend my takes.

[onechance87]

castle gotta be better at finishing...Sometimes hes easy to predict.

[100%duncan]

Front office needs to cut the “do right by our guys” crap and start unloading all this deadweight. Can’t be wasting Wemby’s good years by bringing back this same core next season.

People saying no to Fox :lmao

[skin27]

castle gotta be better at finishing...Sometimes hes easy to predict.
and sometimes he’s forcing it

[TheBallsbreakers]

I lost count how many times Castle got blocked.
Every foray into the rim is an adventure.

[BatManu20]

If Champagne is missing his wide open 3's, he's useless out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

Champagnie 3333

[skin27]

Wemby might get 40 20 tonight

[LeBowen]

If Champagne is missing his wide open 3's, he's useless out there.

He's 3-5, ffs.

[timtonymanu]

If Champagne is missing his wide open 3's, he's useless out there.

Sadly he’s still one of our better shooters with how useless Keldon is there and inconsistent Vassell is.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby is just so damn good, man. Not even 21 yet.

[100%duncan]

Would be unfortunate if this Wemby MSG game leads to a loss tbh

[Rosewood]

Wemby is just so damn good, man. Not even 21 yet.
I have to remind myself in frustrating games that we already won because we have Wemby. All of this is just icing on the cake because Tim wouldn’t even be in the league at this age.

[onechance87]

If Champagne is missing his wide open 3's, he's useless out there.

His defence is ok...Not as bad as vassell d

[BatManu20]

Those Keldon Johnson minutes are tough. He’s really, really bad. And Vassell is getting killed on D

Vassell is just a shit defender. Every single game. Which is why if he's not scoring 20+ points, he's a liability out there. Then he'll randomly go out and score 27 one game, showing us what he could be. The next thing you know he's on the IR for 2 weeks. Frustrating player to say the least.

[timtonymanu]

Keldon doesn't have a future in the league.

FIFY tbh. He has zero skills he excels in at the NBA level. Its actually pretty sad how much his game has dropped.

[Pauleta14]

and you’re the single worst poster upstairs. Go to Reddit, please.

You think anyone care what you think or something? :lol

You have a merry Christmas my boy xx

[Pauleta14]

Yeah that Karen is you. :lol

:cry let me call you Karen when I can’t defend my takes.

I can feel you want your own nickname tho

How's your nazi hunt going? :lol

[timtonymanu]

I can feel you want your own nickname tho

How's your nazi hunt going? :lol

As usual you make zero sense. Take your meds already.

[skin27]

Wemby going for 50

[timtonymanu]

Nice minutes by Tre, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Stop leaving bridges open, shit!

[100%duncan]

Wemby is my literal GOAT

[LeBowen]

Cmon Tony, do us a solid.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby is a monster!!!

[100%duncan]

Cmon man thats a 4pt play dont fuck us here

[100%duncan]

Fuck me thats big

[slick'81]

Wemby is the best player in the nba

[Obstructed_View]

Refs.

[TheBallsbreakers]

These are the most unbiased commentators I have ever heard.

[rascal]

Foul was before the shot.

[slick'81]

Foul before the shot but can we guard the 3 point line

[Pauleta14]

As usual you make zero sense. Take your meds already.

Says the dude who can't enjoy watching his team without being a dick online

Keep entertaining me boy :lol

[timtonymanu]

Fuck man I wish towns didn’t foul, that should have counted.

[slick'81]

Fuck man I wish towns didn’t foul, that should have counted.


probably did it on purpose

[Obstructed_View]

Oh yeah, that's why I hate Tre Jones.

[timtonymanu]

Man, that overturned 3 might have fucked us.

[LeBowen]

We need to get rid of these negative IQ players who get lost after a couple of passes.

[rascal]

No one defending on that 3

[onechance87]

vassell is so useless lol

[100%duncan]

From a would be 9 pt lead down to 2 now. That will be the break of the game if we end up losing this

[Rosewood]

Brothers fucked us. Probably lost us the game with that call. Momentum is in the other direction now. Total bullshit.

[BatManu20]

Wemby's gonna need someone else to step up and help him here down the stretch. He can't do it alone.

[rascal]

Man, that overturned 3 might have fucked us.

That wasn't a 3. Shot was after the foul

[slick'81]

All ny is literally trying to do is shoot 3's

[TekXX]

Vassell trying to tank his stock so he can stay on the Spurs and be the 2nd option and not be sent off to ride the bench.

[Obstructed_View]

These are the most unbiased commentators I have ever heard.

Cory is a Spur. There are a lot of good crews who just enjoy relaying the game to fans.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby ain't letting us down. That mofo's confidence is THROUGH THE ROOF, mayne!!!!

[spursparker9]

Is castle not gonna play in the 4Q again? :lol

[TheBallsbreakers]

Cory is a Spur. There are a lot of good crews who just enjoy relaying the game to fans.
Corey Joseph?!

[spursparker9]

Cory is a Spur. There are a lot of good crews who just enjoy relaying the game to fans.

Dunno who he is. But he kinda hinted that he wore jersey #1 for the Spurs previously

[timtonymanu]

Is castle not gonna play in the 4Q again? :lol

Tbf, he sucked today.

[slick'81]

Wembys getting 50

[Tyronn Lue]

Vassell trying to tank his stock so he can stay on the Spurs and be the 2nd option and not be sent off to ride the bench.
I don't think any young player wants to tank their stock. Vassell probably will play anywhere as long as he has a contract.

[LeBowen]

Yeah, fuck you Devin.

[skin27]

Fck vassell

[onechance87]

Wake the fck up vassell...Dude cant even make plays

[BatManu20]

Vassell is such a faggot. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Vassell. Fuck you.

[slick'81]

Man bridges is clutch

[TekXX]

Dunno who he is. But he kinda hinted that he wore jersey #1 for the Spurs previously

Late 90's backup to Avery johnson if i remember correctly, on the '99 chip

[slick'81]

Fck #3 on ny

[Tyronn Lue]

What's the record for 3's in a quarter?

[100%duncan]

Vassell still fucking useless

[rascal]

Sochan hitting that ugly shot

[objective]

Has Castle been banned from 4th quarters?

[BatManu20]

Bridges on the Spurs would be a Godsend. Big shot taker, big shot maker. And doesn't need help getting his shots.

[timtonymanu]

Sochan haters. :lol

[slick'81]

This could be game

[Tyronn Lue]

This team tries but they are missing real players. They cannot get a stop for shit.

[Fireball]

two tough losses against EC teams ... but it was fun

[itzsoweezee]

Tre Jones is a dumbass

[TekXX]

NBA level talent taking over, the G leaguers can't keep up

[BatManu20]

Too much deadweight on this roster unfortunately. Spurs simply don't have enough talent alongside Wemby.

[skin27]

Bridges new spur killer?

[slick'81]

A pg who could shoot the 3 would help alot

[mikec]

Excellent tank job coach!
