The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they will play two regular-season games in Paris as part of The NBA Paris Games 2025 presented by Tissot. The Spurs will tip off against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday, Jan. 23 and Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025, marking the first time the NBA will play two regular-season games in the French capital in the same season.

[LeBowen]

Pacers are on a 8-1 streak, +98 points differential.
Their only loss was a mini-series split with Cavs and Haliburton didn't play in that game.
This could get really ugly if Spurs play like they did in these past three games.

They're about to get absolutely embarrassed in France. Hopefully we'll see SOMETHING change after that but I doubt it with this trash organization tbh :lol

[BatManu20]

Don't even mind the losses tbh. This team desperately needs a top-10 pick this year. Just want Wemby to play better and for us to make it competitive.

[Tyronn Lue]

:lol they should try to get both legs up over their heads, that's how they've ended up recently.

[Pauleta14]

Not even sure an embarrassment would be a wake-up call for PATFO.

It would just be a "get over yourself" episode in the "let's not miss a step" strategy.

It would mostly be damaging for Wemby mentally, he looks exhausted and all the PR, attention and pressure he'll have to go through in Paris + the jet lag will probably make things even worse...

[RC_Drunkford]

I still think about going, but then again we might lose both games by 20 the way we‘ve been playing recently

[pad300]

Do you think Sissoko might get a little burn?

[KingKev]

Need both wins tbh. Hopefully France is living under a rock and don’t know how bad this roster actually is. Tim Duncan had Amy in his ear come free agency. Kawhi had Uncle Denis. Let’s keep an entire nation on our side if/when the time comes because the clock is ticking.

Spurs home games with Wemby’s supporters in the crowd

#1 priority for the Spurs is keep it close enough to ensure Wemby gets on the return flight home

Calling my shot: Victor's gonna drop a 50-spot one of these games.

[J_Paco]

Don't even mind the losses tbh. This team desperately needs a top-10 pick this year. Just want Wemby to play better and for us to make it competitive.

Yeah, complaining that they are losing too much when they have already surpassed (or will soon) last year's total, are far more competitive (even with the current rough losing streak), and could still use a big infusion of high-end prospects.

They really need to nail this upcoming draft, but this season is already a win (regardless of the constant whining and complaining on this board).

[itzsoweezee]

Don't even mind the losses tbh. This team desperately needs a top-10 pick this year. Just want Wemby to play better and for us to make it competitive.

Sure, as long as they trade that shit. They don’t need any more young guys that don’t know how to play NBA basketball

[Robz4000]

Calling my shot: Victor's gonna drop a 50-spot one of these games.

Calling mine: Spurs lose both of these games by 20+.

[BatManu20]

Sure, as long as they trade that shit. They don’t need any more young guys that don’t know how to play NBA basketball

Agreed. Outside of a miracle and landing Flagg, I'd rather trade some of these picks for a younger win-now player after this season. Problem is I'm not sure who the target would be if the Kings are no longer interested in trading Fox. Unless PHX decides to blow it up, our options are kinda limited tbh. Don't see the Spurs selling the farm for Markkenen, which it would take with that stinge fuck Danny Ainge. Jimmy Butler is old and expensive and just seems highly unlikely to be a Spur. Hawks ain't trading Trae Young. Garland is off limits for CLE. LaVine is really expensive, doesn't help us at all defensively, and his timeline doesn't match Wemby's either. Do we roll the dice on an injury-prone player like Brandon Ingram? I don't see it. Kyle Kuzma? Collin Sexton? Idk. Spurs may be SOL this Summer. And they're been pretty open about remaining patient through this process and building it the right way. They may be willing to be a lot more patient than we are tbh.

I think there are going to be some really good players looking to move after these playoffs. Giannis is number one on my list. If Milwaukee flames out, he could very well ask out. Fox could very likely do the same and not extend (those kings wins look like the same gimmick stuff they ran a couple years ago that doesn’t work in the playoffs). Maybe Jokic decides he doesn’t want to waste any more of his career in Denver.

Get creative, make calls, start tampering. Other teams do that shit all the time. There is no excuse for the continued incompetence.

Like there's no way he actually thought those were actual humans just not ever moving or making sounds :lol. There's also very few people sitting beside the court out of frame, just those kids in Wemby shirts that they brought in. He's either kidding or a fucking moron tbh.

Duly noted.

[Das Texan]

Calling my shot: Victor's gonna drop a 50-spot one of these games.

I could see him getting a 5x5 in one of the games or at least a triple double as well.

[Seventyniner]

I could see him getting a 5x5 in one of the games or at least a triple double as well.

I bet he plays 40 minutes each game, at least if they're close.

I'm sure players are complaining about a week of paid trip to Paris.
It's not like they went there with a cargo ship, ffs. They'll travel less this week than during a week of RRT.

Players in the 90s were real men, they would swim to Paris

So... this is the game thread? Have things gotten so bad that we can't even have individual game threads anymore? :lol

[LeBowen]

So... this is the game thread? Have things gotten so bad that we can't even have individual game threads anymore? :lol

I just tuned in and Jacob Tobey hasn't even travelled, poverty franchise. :lol
Hopefully there will be an actual Spurs commentary team and I won't have to listen to Pacers feed both games.

Hasn't he been talking about going to Paris for weeks? Lol. Poor dude

[Strategic]

Come on Spurs

[Strategic]

Only 6 fans on the thread for tipoff. Not even enough of us for a scrimmage

[LeBowen]

Hasn't he been talking about going to Paris for weeks? Lol. Poor dude

He's in SA studio with TJ Ford, they have French beret hats on and Eiffel Tower on greenscreen. :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

we're technically away this game I'm pretty sure

Shows why we ain't making any trades when they won't even pay for roundtrip tickets+hotels for the crew.

[onechance87]

hopefully a big game from wemby

[heyheymymy]

Death Star theme for the Spurs

Wemby is about to execute order 66 on the league

[Leetonidas]

Castle already with two stupid turnovers smh

[Davidicus]

Damn, didn’t hit me till Wemby took the mic to address the crowd. What an amazing moment for him, France, and the NBA. Totally surreal and very cool.

[BatManu20]

Castle with 2 early turnovers.

[scott]

Shows why we ain't making any trades when they won't even pay for roundtrip tickets+hotels for the crew.

A friend of a friend traveled with the team and she only has some bullshit administrative job that has nothing to do with basketball, so odd that Jacob got the short end of the stick

[heyheymymy]

Jesus this Pacers announcer is terrible

[BatManu20]

Spurs are so undersized outside of Wemby. We're smaller than every single team we play. Desperately need size on this roster.

[mudyez]

German TV crew saw Wemby hit 31 3s in a row during warmup.

[scott]

Leave it to the motherfucked named "Pascal" to light us up in Paris

[onechance87]

Yea castle not our pg for the future.Guy is a average playmaker

[LeBowen]

French crowd randoms are definitely better at basketball than your average NBA crowd that participates during time-outs.
That guy just won a Tissot watch, almost broke even for the tickets, tbh.

[mudyez]

3+Block streak alive

[scott]

Hey, signs of life! Welcome back Wemby! (Don't know how Vic missed the wide open HB on that last fast break though)

[heyheymymy]

it's like noon on a weekday in the states

this is the game thread

[100%duncan]

Wow look what happens when Wemby touches the ball

[TheBallsbreakers]

Leave it to the motherfucked named "Pascal" to light us up in Paris
Them Pascals are a very inventive bunch.

[mikec]

more pick n roll please

[scott]

Keldon the first sub off the bench, making sure we get plenty of Keldon + Devin minutes, the worst 2-man pairing on the team

[Leetonidas]

Mitch using Sochan as Wemby's backup as I had suggested recently... interesting

[heyheymymy]

Sochan sighting

[scott]

Sochan playing backup C.

[heyheymymy]

Shit Vassell looks good when he has at least three days off

Dev has his legs under his shot today real well

[mikec]

Sochan butterfingers!!

[BatManu20]

Tre Jones is virtually useless these days tbh.

[Joseph Kony]

Sochan butterfingers!!
that was a really shitty pass from Jones, threw it at Sochan's ankles

[Splits]

Tunnel Vision 0-2 on layups

[heyheymymy]

KJ trebuchet three ball release has gotten even slower

[LeBowen]

Tre Jones is virtually useless these days tbh.

Yeah, he was alone in the paint there, he needs to put pressure on the rim instead of kicking it out to a bad shooter.

[onechance87]

keldon you gotta make those open 3s

[mudyez]

Logo 3...but well, the Logo is huge! :downspin:

[TheBallsbreakers]

Pretty sure there's a country singer somewhere named Obie Toppin.
Obie!!!!!

[SPURt]

Sochan playing really well, Wemby breaking out of his mini-slump too

[onechance87]

of course pacers lighting us up from the 3...

[Joseph Kony]

Champagnie with 2 fouls in 17 seconds at the start of the 2nd quarter wtf :pctoss

[scott]

Nice quarters for Wemby, Dev and Sochan. Don't think Sochan at C is going to work very well, but we'll see. Devin got abused on a switch on Pascal early, but tightened up his D after that.

Castle was bad that 1Q

[Joseph Kony]

Castle is really shitting the bed so far

[LeBowen]

Castle is really shitting the bed so far

Champ not doing any better.

[scott]

Champ also having one of his worst games of the year

[Joseph Kony]

man get Castle out of the game, dude is straight garbage rn

[heyheymymy]

Champ looking like he got some bad escargot last night

[TheBallsbreakers]

Castle just plays dumb sometimes.

[onechance87]

Castle wtf are you doing

[scott]

Time for Castle to spend some more time on the bench

[Mal]

This is brutal basketball

[heyheymymy]

Castle should be used to big moments already but maybe this game is in his head a bit perhaps?

[BatManu20]

This is Castle's worst half of the season

[skin27]

Castle sucks

[Manu-of-steel]

Catle and Champ turning the ball over.

[BatManu20]

Sochan came back from injury and it immediately knocked Castle off his game tbh :lol

[onechance87]

Castle playing for the pacers rn wtf...its 4 vs 6 rn smh

[J_Paco]

Too many bad passes by Castle getting intercepted. Gotta be cleaner with your passes and make smarter reads.

Also, why are the Spurs cross matching with Castle, Vassell or Paul on Siakam? That's gonna continue to lead to easy buckets for him. SMDH

[100%duncan]

Losing during Wemby minutes :lol

[100%duncan]

Sochan came back and it immediately knocked Castle off his game tbh :lol

Wdym they actually started Castle for once. This is all on him

[heyheymymy]

Joakim Noah in the building lol

What a prolific Gators era, man. Brewer, Noah, Al Horford on that 06-07 team

[z0sa]

Castle turns it over waaaaay too much

[Splits]

Castle single-double watch

[heyheymymy]

Wish Wemby could play in FRA every game lol He's looked pretty solid today already with 15

[rascal]

The Pacers are deep

[scott]

Wemby clearly psyched for this game. He may play 42 minutes.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Castle getting beat to the rim by a white guy haha

[onechance87]

why was vassell on the bench for so long....dumb ass coach

[100%duncan]

Damn Wemby came back in around 5 mins in the first up to 5 mins in the 2nd. :lol Good to see if his stamina can actually sustain it

[mikec]

Yikes 4 TO by Castle.

[skin27]

Wish Wemby could play in FRA every game lol He's looked pretty solid today already with 15


why cant he play like this every night? Tbh. Maybe because his 3’s are falling tonight thats why he looks better

[TheBallsbreakers]

Keldon's 3 is a slow-ass catapult

[mikec]

Keldon's 3 ball looking god awful.

[BatManu20]

Castle, Champ, and Keldon all playing like shit simultaneously and it's killing us. Vassell on the other hand is playing well and keeping us in it.

[onechance87]

keldon is such a momentum killer for us sometimes

[skin27]

Vassell playing well so far

[scott]

Vassell been really good today

[LeBowen]

Vassell playing well so far

He's been solid over the past few weeks, giving us false hope.
He simply must be a 22-24ppg efficent scorer on this roster because noone else is capable of being a second option.
He's in a perfect situation, once in a lifetime opportunity for him. If he doesn't deliver and falls off, he'll spend the rest of his career as a tank commander.

[mikec]

that was a really shitty pass from Jones, threw it at Sochan's ankles

Fair point. Then reverts right back to butterfingers now.

[baseline bum]

He's in SA studio with TJ Ford, they have French beret hats on and Eiffel Tower on greenscreen. :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

Thought it sounded like Jack for a second when I tuned in, then thought no fucking way they're hiring Stephen Jackson to do color after all the shit he talked about Pop. :lol

[Joseph Kony]

this team is full of morons

[scott]

Pacers announcers catapult to the top of the rankings of those who butcher Wemby's name "Wembynama"

[Mal]

Did Keldon do something slighty positive ?

[LeBowen]

Pacers announcers catapult to the top of the rankings of those who butcher Wemby's name "Wembynama"

I actually like the old guy and his OH YEAAAH grunts for every good play. :lol
(watching Spurs feed, but I know it's more of the same)

[heyheymymy]

Vassell has major durability issues

Has an unprecedented 3 days off for Pairs and surprise his legs are under him and his shot is snapping the net pretty well today.

Same thing with the fire game in LA with the 4 or 5 days off was it? Vassell played well in that game too. But you'll never get these long breaks for intl travel or PPD for wildfires, it's rare. What happens in playoffs when the intensity gets tougher and recovery gets shorter.

[mikec]

DV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Joseph Kony]

Spurs clock awareness is terrible, number of times they were extremely close to a 24 sec violation and it doesnt even seem like they were aware :lol

[heyheymymy]

Vassell looking fantastic in the first half 6-9, 2-3 for 14 pts

increble

[scott]

He's been solid over the past few weeks, giving us false hope.

It easy to fall for the false hope, you're kind of even doing it by saying he's been solid for the past few weeks, he really hasn't. Even timGPT has been cranking out C- and Ds as of late.

Today, however, he has been fantastic.

[BatManu20]

Vassell carrying us. You love to see it tbh.

[mudyez]

I'm wondering if Wemby keeps his hands down on defense to trap opponents into shooting (to improve his block stats).

I feel like he should have his hands up way more.

[100%duncan]

I hate Keldom Johnson man

[mikec]

Pacers announcers catapult to the top of the rankings of those who butcher Wemby's name "Wembynama"

He did quickly correct himself...but yeah lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Wemby, Vassell, Jones and Sochan were all great in the 1st.

Johnson and Castle need to play better

[rascal]

Spurs haven't had the crater quarter yet today.

[100%duncan]

I wonder when Champ will break out of his slump. He’s been pretty ass the past 2 weeks

[BatManu20]

Our big 3 today. Need the others to step up if we want to win though.


https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GiAOK-NakAEx5iL?format=jpg&name=medium

[Splits]

Halftime grades:

Wemby A- took some plays off defensively otherwise great
Barnes B+ playing his role, not trying to do too much, team high +/-
CP3 B kind of a meh game, deferring too much but couple of sweet passes
Vasselline A whoa, where has this guy been, couple of defensive lapses but shooting lights out and aggressive into the mid-range
Castle F what in the actual fuck what that?
Mamu C not much impact, couple of hustle plays
Champ C- no impact
Sochan A about as best as you can expect from him, even hit a 3, solid on the boards and under the glass
KJ0 D couple of putbacks but can't shoot, can't avoid tunnel vision, liability on D
Tre B+ very solid half of basketball with Castle shitting the bed

[heyheymymy]

Castle needs to have a short memory tonight

[Joseph Kony]

CP3 had a wide open layup and passed it out...smh

[heyheymymy]

Dev scorching hot 7-10, 3-4 for 17 pts

[Joseph Kony]

wtf is this defense. Spurs continually getting switched and have Barnes/Vassell/CP3 guarding Siakam or Turner

[LeBowen]

CP3 had a wide open layup and passed it out...smh

He attempted 12 layups all season long.

[scott]

wtf is this defense. Spurs continually getting switched and have Barnes/Vassell/CP3 guarding Siakam or Turner

Just the nature of our team. Wemby can't guard everyone, no matter who gets switched, it's going to be a mismatch

[LeBowen]

Tbh, Pacers have been on a tear as of late, defense isn't doing that bad, it's all about preventing them from getting hot from 3pt.

[scott]

CP3 is cooking his man on the perimeter when they switch on him, but he's afraid to shoot in the paint

What a great quarter so far

[heyheymymy]

lol Pacers announcer dweeb feeling petty while getting curb stomped and had to throw in a YANA

[TheBallsbreakers]

Watch the team blow this lead yet again. WTF

[mikec]

wembanya-NAAAAA again :bang

[BatManu20]

Wemby goes to the bench and it's immediately a layup line for Indy. Story of our season tbh.

[heyheymymy]

WOW

Pau Gasol, Mani Ginobili and David Robison in the building!!

[skin27]

Watch the team blow this lead yet again. WTF
As usual

[100%duncan]

Lead from 13pts to 9, Mitch time out. Ok I see you

[TheBallsbreakers]

CP3 is cooking his man on the perimeter when they switch on him, but he's afraid to shoot in the paint

What a great quarter so far
That layup against the Nuggets is probably the only time he's ever finished in the paint for the Spurs.
Very clutch. though.

[onechance87]

a second defensive big is needed when wemby sits...That is our main need.

[LeBowen]

a second defensive big is needed when wemby sits...That is our main need.

Even Mitch is blatantly hinting at it by not playing Collins or Bassey, but Wright can't get over himself and make a trade.

[Leetonidas]

Great game from DV24 so far

[td4mvp2k]

I see vassell been eating his wheaties

[heyheymymy]

NASTY!!!

Team looking fluid and in rhythm.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Keldon's 3 looks way better when he's hoisting it up quick rather than taking his sweet time winding up that ugly catapult.

[Leetonidas]

CP3 is cooking his man on the perimeter when they switch on him, but he's afraid to shoot in the paint

What a great quarter so far

Twice at least he got past his man and had a wide open lane but passed it out. He really is not confident in his scoring ability anymore it seems

[100%duncan]

Wish SA actually had a crowd that chanted Defense this loud :lmao all the fans retired when Nephew dipped

[BatManu20]

Spurs actually playing well in the 3rd quarter instead shitting the bed in the 3rd is nice for a change tbh.

[J_Paco]

Wemby goes to the bench and it's immediately a layup line for Indy. Story of our season tbh.

Bassey is the only other good rim protector on the team, but he's practically unplayable on the other end.

I would play him regardless, but Mitch doesn't seem to be high on him or Zach.

Spurs definitely need a more dependable backup center and another PF instead of continuing to play Keldon there.

[scott]

Been a long time since we've put together a sustained 3Q like this

Announcing team just said we're shooting a season high 58% so far. Improved shot selection a major part of that.

[LeBowen]

More false hope!

[100%duncan]

Lfg

[J_Paco]

Why did the Pacers announcer call an open transition 3 a "bad shot?" LOL

Devin's defensive intensity has been better in the games I've watched. Need more of him playing the passing lanes and contesting shots better.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Team looking really energized. As they should.

[scott]

:lol

Devin Vassell drains a wide open transition 3 to push the lead to 19

Pacers Announcer: these are bad shots though, if the Spurs keep shooting those we'll be in good shape

Okay, guy

[skin27]

Hope they dont blow this lead

[heyheymymy]

5th straight 20 point game from Devin Vassell

He is starting to show some consistency but his problem always was sustaining that

[BatManu20]

The fuck was that shot attempt by Wemby. The offense is flowing right now, we don't need that forced and contested side-back 3 bullshit right now smh.

[100%duncan]

Virtual knockout punch opportunity here ti end the 3rd.

[skin27]

The fuck was that shot attempt Wemby. The offense is flowing right now, we don't need that forced and contested step-back 3 bullshit right now smh.

He thinks its okay to take bad shots or get fancy because they are up by 18pts.lmao

[100%duncan]

Didnt they change it that they can retroactively call a non called foul?

[Robz4000]

We all know how this is gonna end tbh.

[Splits]

Man these Parisians must be going crazy with all these timeouts and non-playing time

[100%duncan]

:lol

[LeBowen]

The Beautiful Game!

[td4mvp2k]

lmao are the pacers this bad or the spurs just playing to good today

[Mal]

if 3s are falling, its so easy to play

[LeBowen]

lmao are the pacers this bad or the spurs just playing to good today

Adam Silver told them not to fuck around, they had to throw this one for marketing purposes.

[skin27]

Wemby 3 straight blocks

[heyheymymy]

lol 45 point 3rd Q for the Spurs

only the 2nd 40 plus Q allowed by the Pacers all season?

[rascal]

This is a better home crowd than what they have in San Antonio.

[TheBallsbreakers]

What energy! You love to see it! Why can't they play like this every damn game?

[100%duncan]

CLOSE THEM OUT

[BatManu20]

45-point 3rd Quarter performance! Haven't had one of those in a very long time tbh.

[100%duncan]

lmao are the pacers this bad or the spurs just playing to good today

Theyre 8-1 in 2025

[heyheymymy]

Very dominant close to the 3rd for SA

[scott]

STOP THE COUNT

What a quarter... what a first 3 quarters, tbh. Amazing how we can look when the shot is falling.

[skin27]

Pacers are just playing bad right now

[BatManu20]

This is a better home crowd than what they have in San Antonio.

Not saying much tbh. Our home crowd has largely been shit since the Big 3 ended.

[100%duncan]

They should give Wemby 4 assists and/or 5 blocks here tbh

[scott]

This is a better home crowd than what they have in San Antonio.

Spurs moving to Paris confirmed

[J_Paco]

Obviously, they aren't going to be that efficient most nights, but this is the type of effort and energy the Spurs need. Can't come out at halftime flat and uninspired especially with a sizeable lead.

[LeBowen]

Castle's dunk contest case not looking good, tbh.

[BatManu20]

lmao are the pacers this bad or the spurs just playing to good today

Pacers have won 9 of their last 11. Pretty obvious the guys came in here focused to win this one for Wemby tbh. Still gotta close it out though.

[rankingtear]

Wemby-Sochan forces this scoring drought for the other team.

[Joseph Kony]

WTF WAS THAT!?!?! completely inexcusable

[Joseph Kony]

seriously how tf do you turn it over on back to back inbounds? sit the fuck down Julian

[LeBowen]

Pacers have won 9 of their last 11. Pretty obvious the guys came in here focused to win this one for Wemby tbh. Still gotta close it out though.

They were 9-1 with +98 points differential, only loss was against Cavs with no Haliburton.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Castle's dunk contest case not looking good, tbh.
That was a good lob and he fumbled it.

[mikec]

I don't think I've ever seen 2 back to back out of bounds turnovers LOL.

[Ni-G]

That's that bad Q?

[Obstructed_View]

I really like Julian, but he needs to not ever be near the ball in the backcourt.

[z0sa]

Castle playing very nervous tbh. Lots of unforced errors

[BatManu20]

Of course we begin the 4th Quarter with 3 straight turnovers :lol

[TheBallsbreakers]

Pacers have won 9 of their last 11. Pretty obvious the guys came in here focused to win this one for Wemby tbh. Still gotta close it out though.
That dinner must have been really, really good, and/or expensive.

[Mal]

Wemby is looking good and tall

[100%duncan]

Champ has been playing his way into the bench god damn

[Manu-of-steel]

Champ should bever be allowed to inbound the ball. EVER. He is terrible as an inbound passer.

[z0sa]

I don't blame Champ for the first one. They're pressuring full court and no one else came back to relieve the pressure or screen.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Get Champ out, guy is out to lunch. Can this team please not have these completely boneheaded plays every god damn game

[John B]

2 dumbass Champ TO on inbound

[Manu-of-steel]

Last game, Champ had a 5 sec violation , unable to inbound the ball. Today, 2 straight miscues as a passer

[td4mvp2k]

holy ****

[Splits]

Castle's dunk contest case not looking good, tbh.

may have cost VW a triple dub on that

[Mal]

Wemby cheating

[heyheymymy]

Spurs moving to Paris confirmed

From Churros to Croissants

[scott]

Oh I didn't realize until that super late call they gave to Champ, but our Spurs Fan Lady Ref is back. Need her for every game, tbh

[100%duncan]

That’s it for VW. Hope he gets a 50 piece or a triple dub the next game
