Game Thread: Spurs (22-26) @ Hornets (12-36) 2-7-2025 6 PM CST 2 AM RAiGA 2 PM HAWAII

[Frenchfred]

this summer, Fox needs to get surgery, Wemby needs to gain 10 pounds and work on his inside game, Vassel and Johnson need to be traded to get a decent 3 and D player who can shoot the three and rebound and a center and hopefully we get lucky in the draft with two high picks

[LeBowen]

vassell should be benched.Castle needs to start.

The only lineup that makes sense is Fox/Castle/Champ/Barnes/Wemby.
Champ isn't good enough to start, but we can't have just one actual wing in the lineup, we're getting murdered on the boards every damn game.

[100%duncan]

Unfortunately you're right.
We simply must get an actual coach before the next season starts or it's going to be another wasted year.

Idk what’s stopping Pop from going the Riley route tbh. And even then, he may still be puppeteering the next coach who would most likely be from his tree. :lol

[Mal]

Will we see if Mitch has balls to shorten the rotation, because not everybody is up for this game

[Death In June]

Why is this team so ass at defense. How can they be this putrid?

[itzsoweezee]

Vassell and Johnson seem to have forgotten how to play basketball. This is getting really weird

[itzsoweezee]

Will we see if Mitch has balls to shorten the rotation, because not everybody is up for this game

Yeah. They cannot afford to lose this game

[scott]

Big redemption half from Devin coming up. You heard it here first.

[RC_Drunkford]

Why is this team so ass at defense. How can they be this putrid?

worst defense in the league in January with the DPOY frontrunner on the team :lol That‘s damn near impossible to accomplish

[Frenchfred]

Diabate outplaying Wemby is ridiculous

[Leetonidas]

Bricktor smh

[Kyle_Kuzma]

Wemby looking like a glorified Rudy Gobert with a green light to chick 3’s �� Should’ve traded down and drafted Amen Thompson lloooollll

[NASpurs]

Why is this team so ass at defense. How can they be this putrid?

I remember when the Spurs used to hire assistants with some kind of specialization like offense or defense. Now we all have are Pop yes men.

[spurraider21]

de'aaron fox is good at basketballing

[heyheymymy]

WEMBY WITH THE WIZARD BLOCK

[scott]

STAR FOX getting us going to start this half.

Just play D and a regular offense and we'll be fine. Stop relying on the 3, stop leaving them wide open for 3.

[100%duncan]

Wemby :lol

[AusSpur]

Never thought I'd see the day the Spurs need to lean heavily on ex-Sacramento players to play winning basketball.

[NASpurs]

That block is something you do as a big brother to your little brother as kids

[Rosewood]

Hell of a block lol.

[ffadicted]

Oh my god that block LOL

[thiste]

I'll never get tired of these blocks :lmao

[100%duncan]

STAR FOX getting us going to start this half.

Just play D and a regular offense and we'll be fine. Stop relying on the 3, stop leaving them wide open for 3.

Vassell would have Steph and Fox trailing in a fastbreak and he would still settle for a 3.

[LeBowen]

Lmao league pass has this segment with Bassey hooping in a wheelchair. :lol

[NASpurs]

Vassell would have Steph and Fox trailing in a fastbreak and he would still settle for a 3.


A 3 with a defender in his face while the Castle and Fox are open

[Frenchfred]

I miss Pop yelling at the players for missing defense assignments or boxing out for rebounds. We need the Pop of 20 years ago

[Ice009]

vassell is so low iq and selfish. has castle trailing, all he has to do it pass it behind him for an easy bucket and instead he bricks it at the rim :lmao

That's the story of the game. The two players that the Spurs should have tried really, really hard to trade are still on the team. I wonder if they tried an no one wanted either of them?

Back in the day, I would have gone ballistic with that play from Devin. Very, very selfish play, was trying to get his own. The right play would have been to pass it back to Steph for the easy score, but nope, he was looking for his own points to try and get himself going. Don't throw away points/easy buckets to look out for your own.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Our coaching deficiencies are highlighted by our inability to get our 7'5 athletic freak shots close to the basket...dude is 5/15 and shooting only jumpers

[spurraider21]

phenomenal pass by wemby to paul out of that double

[Dex]

Vassell wouldn't know a box-out if it slapped him upside the head

[Mal]

I am learning Hornets players on the fly

[Bill_Brasky]

We sure do love letting people get 2nd and 3rd chances

[ffadicted]

Mitch leaving Vassell in the game instead of Steph is fucking embarrassing can we please get a coach with brains

[Frenchfred]

they are losing this game

[scott]

The narrative has been the Spurs were able to get Fox while keeping Vassell and Johnson... but I wonder if SAC didn't want them.

[Mal]

Nick Smith Jr :lmao

[heyheymymy]

Hornets on fire tonight sometimes you just gotta tip your cap

[TekXX]

lol Spurs making the hornets look like a playoff team.

[Mugen]

Just zero effort from Wemby tonight.

Such a shame when he gets mentioned with the likes of Timmy tbh.

[thiste]

Victor clearly not himself. Clearly saving his energy.

[NASpurs]

Hornets are a bottom 3 team on offense with 20 players missing.

[Leetonidas]

:lol getting worked by the lowly Hornets

[100%duncan]

Yup might actually lose this game :lol play-in at stake and no one cares

[BatManu20]

Hornets G-League players shooting out of their minds tonight because of course they are. These fuckers won't miss.

[Bill_Brasky]

We make scrubs look so good.

[Gibbz]

This is fucking unbelievable.

[Mal]

The narrative has been the Spurs were able to get Fox while keeping Vassell and Johnson... but I wonder if SAC didn't want them.

You cant blame Sacto for wanting Lavine over those two. Bulls on the other hand, took Zollins as tank commander.

[LeBowen]

The narrative has been the Spurs were able to get Fox while keeping Vassell and Johnson... but I wonder if SAC didn't want them.

I didn't want to kill the mood when the trade happened, but Keldon has done more damage than Collins this season.
At least Collins wasn't playing as of late.

People still high on Devin have no arguments left.
He's a textbook, generic, subpar shooting guard who somehow got a 150/3 contract.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby is a shit rebounder...and it has nothing to do with his weight...he just doesn't have the dog in him that's needed to be a good rebounder

[Spurs Brazil]

This lineup is terrible. Fox needs to spent a lot of energy on D because no other player can guard on the perimeter. If stupid Johnson doesn’t want to bench Paul because he’s afraid of it bench Vasse. Castle must be in the starting 5

[TekXX]

The narrative has been the Spurs were able to get Fox while keeping Vassell and Johnson... but I wonder if SAC didn't want them.

They didn't' want them regardless if Wright and Pop wanted to offer them. They want to get better not go backwards.

[Mugen]

Let Fox get his surgery and tank the season tbh.

[skin27]

they are losing this game

Another winnable game going to an L

[heyheymymy]

keep cutting it to 10 or 8 but can't get a foothold

hopefully there is a 4Q push that coincides with CHA coming back down to earth a bit

[Strategic]

Just checked in. What the hell?

[onechance87]

Vassell wouldn't know a box-out if it slapped him upside the head

just a dumb player.His mistake of not boxing out for that rebound changed the momentum of the game

[Kawhi Duncan]

We playing wemby is drop coverage, so their guard just come off the pick and shoot wide open shots

[spurraider21]

vassell putting up a contested midranger when barnes is standing wide open at the top of the arc

[scott]

Fox and Castle might need to play the entire rest of the game.

[100%duncan]

Keldon Johnson is about to sub in and yet Steph still in the bench. Mitch is a legit retard. Fuck this guy

[NASpurs]

Did Castle curse someone out during half time?

[timtonymanu]

Big 3 - Duncan, Parker, Ginobili

Medium 3 - Leonard, Green, Splitter (Chinook shoutout)

Small 3 - Assell, Keldon, Sochan

[scott]

vassell putting up a contested midranger when barnes is standing wide open at the top of the arc

this reads like what ChatGPT would respond with if you asked it to summarize Devin Vassell

[Joseph Kony]

so tired of watching this team get killed on the glass night after night

[Frenchfred]

ok, I'm out, I can't watch that shit anymore.

[heyheymymy]

This by the way with SA +10 in free throw attempts

[TekXX]

There's no hope of getting stops to get back in this game, they're scoring at will.

[heyheymymy]

man Castle has been relentless tonight

[thiste]

If I didn't know better I'd think we're actively tanking rn

[Dex]

The one bright spot in this game (so far) is Castle. This dude is going to be something special

[heyheymymy]

Castle 6-10
Vassell 1-7

who belongs in the starting 5

[heyheymymy]

at least Sochan brings the energy

[Mugen]

Such a trash ass team

[Devi8or]

3rd quarter almost over, have the hornets missed a 3 yet? Sheesh

[LeBowen]

Wesley, Branham and Mamu wouldn't do any worse than Devin, Keldon and Jeremy.
As we've seen at the end of last season.

[Dex]

at least Sochan brings the energy

And does nothing with it.

Energy only goes so far

In case it's not obvious, I am off the Sochan bandwagon. He is the new Collins for this team

[SpursFan86]

Wemby in a sophomore slump…sheesh.

Say what you want about Sochan but his hustle and rebounding are desperately needed on this team. Just sad because if he was even average at finishing he’d be incredible.

[100%duncan]

Wemby is soft as fuck this game. Fucking passing to sochan

[onechance87]

stop with keldon

[scott]

Let's cut this to single digits before the 4th and make this a game

[Bill_Brasky]

This game is actually alarming. We look G league.

[Mal]

Hornets up 15 with 1 free throw attempt

[onechance87]

Wemby in a sophomore slump…sheesh.

Say what you want about Sochan but his hustle and rebounding are desperately needed on this team.

nah hes not doing anything

[NASpurs]

Wemby playing kind of dumb

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby is soft as fuck this game. Fucking passing to sochan

Coaching...if it's not addressed, this is who he will be...a good coach will get in his ass about being soft

[BatManu20]

Wemby sucks tonight. 5/18 so far. Awful.

[heyheymymy]

Hornets playing like this is their Super bowl

[AusSpur]

We have messed up every 3 on 1 break this game

[thiste]

Wemby 1/9 on threes... he keeps chucking them & doing nothing else

[Dex]

Just put in the bench and let's go for the draft pick :cry

[Mugen]

Loser ass Victor. Just go to the Lakers already tbh

[timtonymanu]

Lamarcus was “muh touches.” Wemby is “muh allergies.”

[Bill_Brasky]

Wemby just getting owned by these turds.

[lefty20]

Gutless worms... tbh

[Mugen]

Fn allergies. Fn SOFT :lol

[Mal]

Wesley, Branham and Mamu wouldn't do any worse than Devin, Keldon and Jeremy.


Sochan is should not be in the same sentence those two are. He is already on double-double

[Bill_Brasky]

Wemby 1/9 on threes... he keeps chucking them & doing nothing else

Every time he tries to drive or post up he gets stripped or pushed out.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby soft and afraid of contact...you gotta force that softness out of him...force him to only go to the rim and realize how much easier it would be for him to score as opposed to shooting 10 threes per game

[TekXX]

This is a back to reality game. Adding one player don't mean shit when you need a major overhaul.

[spurraider21]

Hornets up 15 with 1 free throw attempt
hard to foul them when the closest defender is 6 feet away

[NASpurs]

Lamarcus was “muh touches.” Wemby is “muh allergies.”


More like "Muh vagina" as of late

[spursgu]

Loser ass Victor. Just go to the Lakers already tbh

Dude your takes are such cancer. Step away from the keyboard and just let the game play out.

[spurraider21]

jesus vassell, where has that been

[Bill_Brasky]

To be fair he's getting hacked on everything.

[LeBowen]

Vassell giving fans fake hope yet again.

[heyheymymy]

oh shit Devin slam!

[AusSpur]

Vassell needs to rethink his whole game and be more of a driver

[Mal]

Vassell :o

[NASpurs]

Holy shit Vassell

[Mugen]

Nice dunk, time to go for 0/6 in the 4th now Dev

[scott]

Hopefully that complete FILTH by Devin to end the quarter will be the spark

Holy shit that was disgusting.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hopefully that dunk gets Vagasil going

[BatManu20]

Vassell with the nasty poster out of nowhere

[spursgu]

More like "Muh vagina" as of late

That applies to some of you loser fans on here.

[100%duncan]

I wish we had this Hornets’ color commentator

[Bill_Brasky]

Well at least Vassell got a nice dunk in on these losers

[NASpurs]

That applies to some of you loser fans on here.

No one cares sniffer

:cry don't talk about my sole reason for living you fake fans :cry

F off

[Mugen]

Dude your takes are such cancer. Step away from the keyboard and just let the game play out.

hurrr hurrr go spurs go

[timtonymanu]

Dev’s one good play. Now he’s gonna chuck up 7 straight misses.

[heyheymymy]

damn Wemby was scoreless in the third quarter

[100%duncan]

Keldon Johnson has to be the worst spur ever that gets real rotation minutes. This guy makes me hate basketball.

[spursgu]

hurrr hurrr go spurs go

imagine saying your best player should go to the lakers. yeah I'm gonna call out some of you dumbasses. your shit is tired and played out.

[John B]

Castle having a ROTY game

[onechance87]

bench vassell and keep keldon off the court

[spursgu]

Like honestly take a look at yourselves. you guys like calling out "sniffers" but then also make retarded takes like "wemby should leave to the lakers."

[Frenchfred]

Wemby soft and afraid of contact...you gotta force that softness out of him...force him to only go to the rim and realize how much easier it would be for him to score as opposed to shooting 10 threes per game

I don't think that he is afraid, he goes inside many times but just gets pushed around. His center of gravity is too high. He needs to gain some muscles otherwise, he'll never get position down low. We could also have a coach that draws plays for a guy like him with screens that would allow him to get closer

[NASpurs]

Dev’s one good play. Now he’s gonna chuck up 7 straight misses.

Incoming 5 straight clanks. Shit is guaranteed

[Strategic]

Time for hornets brass to rein in their team. They don’t want to win

[timtonymanu]

Lamelo looks a little “special” sometimes.

[Mugen]

There’s the Devin I know

[timtonymanu]

Can we go on a fucking run, please?

[Trainwreck2100]

hard to foul them when the closest defender is 6 feet away

exactly they're shooting 50%, spurs ain't anywhere neat them

[timtonymanu]

There’s the Devin I know

Most predictable shit ever lol

[NASpurs]

Castle is literally carrying

[timtonymanu]

Wemby has no excuse to be outrebounded so much

[Mugen]

Zero effort on the boards, disgusting

[scott]

Rebound fuckers

[Guru of Nothing]

Nice shot, Frenchie.

[heyheymymy]

missed opportunity to cut it to 6

[NASpurs]

Lucky bounce shit head

[Dex]

Our three-point defense is so bad

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn they can’t miss from 3

[thiste]

I think Wemby is only playing because Bassey is hurt & Collins is gone.

[Mugen]

Ol Allergies asking out of the game :lol

[Dex]

Ol Allergies asking out of the game :lol

Maybe you should stop posting for a while.

[NASpurs]

Castle with 28 :wow

[Mal]

Castle is going to be so fucking good

[LeBowen]

If Castle gets benched tomorrow, this franchise deserves to be relocated to Vegas.

[Mugen]

This is Steph’s team now. Actually plays with heart instead of just talking about it tbh

[spurraider21]

no no, by all means, keep castle on the bench

[100%duncan]

Steph might be the alpha of this team tbh

[timtonymanu]

Castle is by far the best player for us today.

[scott]

Here we go. Castle gonne bring this home.

Love Fox talking him up. CP3 can be bad cop and Fox can be good cop to keep his confidence up while also teaching him to play.

[heyheymymy]

CASTLE GOING FULL ALPHA

[slick'81]

Rookie of the mother fckn year

[ffadicted]

Castle is him

[BatManu20]

Castle carrying us. Love this kid.

[Mugen]

Maybe you should stop posting for a while.

(sneezes instead of going for a rebound)

[John B]

Castle for 3!!!

[NASpurs]

If Castle gets benched tomorrow, this franchise deserves to be relocated to Vegas.

Does he get benched after they resume from the time out is my question :lol

[Guru of Nothing]

Feed the man!

[Strategic]

Come on Spurs somebody carry the load

[spursgu]

Maybe you should stop posting for a while.

No one should ever take him seriously. Just likes to shitpost as a coping mechanism when you know he's gonna cry like a little bitch if wemby ever decides to bail.

[Mugen]

I bet fn Keldon is checking in for Castle as we speak

[spurraider21]

Lucky bounce shit head
:lol tbh

[John B]

CASTLE GOING FULL ALPHA

He sure is.. love this kid

[100%duncan]

Steph also just has AURA. Hard to explain :lol

[Mal]

Does he get benched after they resume from the time out is my question :lol

You need veteran to close the game, right ? And there is 40 yrs old veteran available

[spursgu]

No one cares sniffer

:cry don't talk about my sole reason for living you fake fans :cry

F off

lol meltdown. fuck off loser.

[John B]

At his age, Castle is already bullying grown man

[Mugen]

No one should ever take him seriously. Just likes to shitpost as a coping mechanism when you know he's gonna cry like a little bitch if wemby ever decides to bail.

aww you’re so upset, little bitch :lol

[slick'81]

And 1

[rascal]

I wish we had this Hornets’ color commentator

Yeah, this announcer is great

[Bill_Brasky]

Steph keeping me tuned in tbh

[Dex]

For the love of god, take Vassell off the floor

[LeBowen]

Great lineup Mitch, just leave CP3 on Bridges.

[NASpurs]

lol meltdown. fuck off loser.

:cry don't talk about muh team :cry

[BatManu20]

If you're going to foul him then foul him Devin. Don't love-tap him on the wrist and let him get the and-1

[timtonymanu]

What’s funny is the hornets are gonna get spanked by whatever team they are playing next but they look like world beaters today. See

[ginobilized]

Castle is all business out there regardless of the results

[vander]

wow, we going to lose to Charlotte? lol this FO a joke. might as well just trade Wemby to LA for Lebron + 1 FRP and get it over with

[heyheymymy]

CP3 should've launched that initial look he hesitated and lost his footing underneath him a bit

[scott]

CP3 bricking that wide open 3 might be ball game.

[Death In June]

Bench CP3.

[Mugen]

Alpha Dog Castle

[heyheymymy]

Monster sequence

wow Castle is a FORTRESS

[NASpurs]

Holy shit Castle

[scott]

Castle not ready to lay down. Need Wemby to pull his skirt up and check back in to close out this game

[spursgu]

aww you’re so upset, little bitch :lol

you let that out, now let the grown men talk basketball here.

[Mal]

Castle have it, you can feel it through the screen

[spursgu]

[Dex]

Ok, thank you Vassell for shutting me up

[heyheymymy]

Stephon Castle with a new career high in points with 31 currently

Previous NBA high in points: 26

[NASpurs]

:cry I told you this team sucks. :cry

Sniff sniff

[Mal]

Vassell shitting on Spurstalk :lol

I dont mind

[timtonymanu]

Vassell finally!

[BatManu20]

Noe string together some stops and actually rebound the ball on misses and let's go steal this thing

[Mugen]

Man what can happen when you take out guys that don’t put in any effort tbh

[heyheymymy]

LFG. Take us home pineapple bros :lol

:lol:

[timtonymanu]

Vassell shitting on Spurstalk :lol

I’m still scared he’s gonna be in position to miss the game winning shot

[NASpurs]

LFG. Take us home pineapple bros :lol

:lol pineapple bros is so good

[Mugen]

Somebody check on Sneezey to see if he’s rested enough tbh :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Please please please let this be Devin finding it.

[Mugen]

take us home Alpha Dog Castle

[100%duncan]

Somebody check on Sneezey to see if he’s rested enough tbh :lol

Damn youre going in on Wemby so hard :lol

[scott]

LFG. Take us home pineapple bros :lol

:lol

[LeBowen]

Can't wait for Devin to miss the game-winner, tbh.

[ffadicted]

Wemby just play defense pls, let the other guys that are hot carry the offense instead of chucking… we can win this

[NASpurs]

Somebody check on Sneezey to see if he’s rested enough tbh :lol

Probably using vagisil for his allergies

[slick'81]

We back bitches

[Bill_Brasky]

:lmao at Sneezey

[scott]

Mitch doesn't have the balls to start Castle, but somehow found the cajones to leave Wemby on the bench? wtf

[heyheymymy]

cut it to 3 just inside 6 min to play

anyones game

[timtonymanu]

Somebody check on Sneezey to see if he’s rested enough tbh :lol

I heard that spursgu guy is waiting to taste his semen

[Bill_Brasky]

Get a fucking rebound you tards

[spursfan 73]

I’ve counted 23 second chance points at a minimum for them tonight. Just can’t be this small.

[Leetonidas]

Why the fuck is Victor still on the bench

[Robz4000]

Spurs ain't winning this tbh.

[Death In June]

Corner fucking 3

[heyheymymy]

Amazing how fucking good the Charlotte Hornets can play when they don't have a protected FRP they owe to San Antonio to ruin and keep

[timtonymanu]

Why the fuck is Victor still on the bench

He’s being called sneezy for a reason today but yes he should still be out there

[Spurs Brazil]

4:34 to go and Wemby on the bench. We have the worst coach all time

[NASpurs]

Pineapple bros :lol oh man

[Mugen]

3 fn minutes of defense and rebounding against this trash ass hornets squad please

[scott]

Time to nut up boys

[Mal]

They are so losing this

[Guru of Nothing]

Yeah, this announcer is great

Isn't that Del Curry, famous dad?

[Mugen]

I heard that spursgu guy is waiting to taste his semen

:lol

[spursgu]

I heard that spursgu guy is waiting to taste his semen

:cry this team sucks. trade wemby. :cry

[heyheymymy]

Actually Hornets dealt with some injuries and I bet they are reinvigorated by the new roster makeup after some deadline moves

[Mugen]

Alpha Dog Steph

[scott]

Nice form tackle from Ball there :lol

[100%duncan]

Take foul?

[Dex]

lol LaMelo trying to argue that foul

[rascal]

Spurs ain't winning this tbh.

Yeah they are winning this game. Hornets are collapsing.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs getting a b2b ROY would be wild, but goddamn castle is gonna be great soon.

[spurraider21]

Nice form tackle from Ball there :lol
attacked the near hip! dude musta picked up on rugby while playing in the NBL

[Mal]

This game is hands of LaMelo. His stupid decision will benefit one team

[Leetonidas]

He’s being called sneezy for a reason today but yes he should still be out there

I mean I get that but he didn't get up to go to the scorers table until 4 minutes left. Can't be on the bench in a close game with else than 6 minutes left

[heyheymymy]

Castle expanding on that new career high in points

now at 33 pts

[100%duncan]

Spurs getting a b2b ROY would be wild, but goddamn castle is gonna be great soon.

Alpha dog
