Game Thread: Spurs vs. Jazz — Jan. 3, 2021 - 6:00pm/C

[Sugus]

Keldon corralling the returning players.. He is showing leadership

This season's all about Keldon, tbh.

[John B]

Luka doesn’t belong in the league lmao idk how anybody supported the spurs picking him

he has all the moves.. he just needs to be strong and not be scared of contact.

[Prime BEEF]

In 2 years, he might be able to miss the shot vs getting blocked. Baby steps.

haha

[Sugus]

On a separate note, are gamethreads gonna be this whiny all season long? Hadn't the ST experts consensually agreed we were a lottery team before the season started? This is what lottery teams do.... Lose. A lot. I don't know if some of y'all are prepared for the tanking experience yet, tbh

[paperboy77]

Y'all gonna hate this but this is where a Captain Jack gives an earful to Puka. There's no real leadership on this team. There's no pulse on this team. It's like an equivalent of group think.

[John B]

This season's all about Keldon, tbh.

That's the silver lining. I think we just played flat tonight, and missing 2 starters..

[NASpurs]

And RC scouted this guy for years

[TimDunkem]

Sugus is breathing nothing but farts at this point.

[poopbox]

From Tim Duncan...to LMA...to Poeltl...to Ewwbanks

's depressing fam

[Mugen]

Keldon and Derrick. Maybe Devin.

The rest of the organization from the tip top to whatever garbage mariachi singer they trot out there for the anthem can ing go.

[NASpurs]

“He has the same name as the other Luka? Draft him”

[Dejounte]

[Mugen]

And RC scouted this guy for years

"Can't believe this Doncic guy fell to 19th," slurred the Spurs GM

[J_Paco]

Luka ting on ST :

They'll still complain and call him " " with his 49 minutes of NBA action to reference.

[TimDunkem]

And RC scouted this guy for years

I was actually hoping Puka would show out a bit. Instead he somehow managed to play some of the worst ball I've ever seen. It was like watching an accident. Horrifying but I couldn't look away.

He hit a 3 tho!

[timtonymanu]

And RC scouted this guy for years

Knowing Drunkford, he thought the mavs picked up luka Samanic and we drafted Luka Doncic instead.

[paperboy77]

Anybody rooting for the skins? the cowgirs!

[Mugen]

Dude have you watched a minute of those 49? The kid would rather be anywhere in the world than on an NBA basketball court.

[Sugus]

Sugus is breathing nothing but farts at this point.

Why so, though? ST experts said Luka wasn't playing because the Spurs had given up on him - proceeds to play the very next game. Does badly, as expected of a project pick. ST experts on him again... Rinse and repeat for the rest of the season

says the guy who was in another thread 3 hours ago saying "We are playing winning basketball right now"

[poopbox]

This might be earliest Pop has ever pulled out the "soft" card...

Usually after he does we go on like a 6 game losing streak to

You didn't watch did you? He was absolutely ing terrible.

[John B]

I think the players took the Jazz for granted, after playing very good basketball against the depending champs. I can only see this as a learning experience.

[timtonymanu]

Pop pulling the soft card in 2021. Has he looked at the roster he assembled?

[timtonymanu]

If you aren’t slurping, you aren’t right to the guy.
