Game #7 Thread: Spurs at (-1.5) LA Lakers 10:00pm ET - Wed 5 Nov 2025 on ESPN

[spurs1990]

First time Spurs without FIVE potential rotational players with Harper joining the list.

McLaughlin, Bryant, and maybe even Garcia at spot minutes will chip into those 24 min from Harper, on top of elongating the regular six guys' PT.


LA is holding out Reaves tonight, so Doncic will carry the bulk of scoring - he's at 41ppg in four games.
Huchimara and Ayton brokeout in their last game.
Also be wary of the young guys Nick Smith and Jake Laravia; Smith was highly efficient for LA last game and Laravia is playing high min with double digit scoring.
They're also giving James Jr 20mpg now so good comedic value tonight


Spurs and Wembanyama should be looking to rebound heavily from the Phoenix dud, and unless LA mimics PHX from the 3pt line, should be a competitive game.

Telecast not available on League Pass so google istreameast to catch a feed if you don't have ESPN access.

Mitch isn't head coach material...i guarantee you give me 1 week and ill draw up a scheme to consistently put the 7'6 freak in positions to score instead of running sets where he is always at the 3 point line being a decoy for his less-ralented teammates

[Degoat]

Wemby is playing like a pussy

[Degoat]

Why is wemby allergic to 3s all of a sudden?

[spurs1990]

I agree this is on Johnson. He doesn't look like he has a clue on how to overcome the constant double teams on Wembanyama these last two games.

[james evans]

Wemby shouldn't even be driving to the paint. he should be in the paint. Castle has got to stop passing across the court

[spurs1990]

What an ending. 3 consecutive Low IQ plays by both teams.

Give Wembanyama a pass for his weak output with dealing with these constant doubles. Should be alieviated by Fox's return at least.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Mitch isnt ready to be a head coach...there has been so many things I've seen wrong with every game except the Dallas game...and I knew it would eventually bite us in the ass...he has zero idea how to utilize wemby...doesn't know how to put him in prime scoring position consistently, and doesn't know how to run a money play to get a basket or a foul when wemby is struggling...and his defensive philosophies are poor...thats y we constantly get torched from three

Invigorating discussion. Will recommend to family and friends and ask all people I interact with to join.
