Game Thread: Spurs at Magic — Nov 5, 2021 - 6:00pm CT

Vassell should definitely start. It’s just a question of should he start for Keldon, White or McDermott cause all 3 have been garbage

[RC_Drunkford]

Somebody tell me why Primo and Landale can’t even get minutes against this Orlando Magic G-League squad

[Dex]

I missed the 1st quarter how have the spurs looked after 12 minutes?

Started off slow, but picked it up mid-quarter and ran out to a good lead.

Murray looking good, White looking bad, Young and Vassell provided a good spark, McBuckets made a three and that was about it.

Orlando shooting like 2% but missed some open shots, so Spurs can't get lazy.

[Chinook]

That fumble out of bounds was so Magic.

Starting unit needs McBucket's shooting.

Even though White has been dog-poop on offense, he and Murray do create some havoc as a defensive duo. Not sure of the current numbers, but at one point they were creating a turnover on something like 20% of possessions when they were both on the floor Vassell would just amplify that.

I'd put Keldon on the bench and let him go to work against second units.

[HankChinaski]

Thanks Dex. I don't know what it is with White this year so far. He looks good on defense but man his lukewarm to cold on scoring on offense lately.

[Robz4000]

I don't get the hate for White tbh, he looks fine. He's been a plus defensively while running the offense fine.

[Robz4000]

That being said, would be nice if he started scoring since no one else in this unit is.

I agree. I think Keldon would score a lot more coming off the bench

[Dejounte]

Eubanks is so bad

[RC_Drunkford]

I don't get the hate for White tbh, he looks fine. He's been a plus defensively while running the offense fine.

maybe because he’s the highest paid player on the entire roster? That kind of player should do a lot more than what he’s doing

[spurs1990]

Can we dare to say Jones has passed up Forbes in the rotation

[Robz4000]

that was a great block

[Leetonidas]

Man, the magic ing suck

[emanueldavidginobili]

Vassell is going to be so good man, this kid is all over the place. Hard cuts, amazing defensive IQ, good looking shot, and very sneakily athletic.

[Robz4000]

At this point that argument is meaningless. He's being paid just a bit more than Murray, but that being said no one is being paid crazy money on this roster. , they might be the only team in the league with no one being paid more than $20mil/season.

[spurs1990]

I like this lineup
25 yr old Murray
22 yr old Johnson
21 yr old Vassell and Jones

[Dex]

Mark the score. 37-26, the Forbes-McD combo comes in.

[Slippy]

Man, the magic ing suck

Yet pop feels spurs need Bryn out there.

Spurs up 37 to 26

[itzsoweezee]

The dismal duo is in

[Robz4000]

Forms and McDip again

[Mugen]

I don't get the hate for White tbh, he looks fine. He's been a plus defensively while running the offense fine.

No hate tbh, he just doesn't look the same athletically after injuries last season. Hopefully it's just rust that shakes off over the course of the year.

[Ditty]

I really thought Forbes was getting a DNP…

[Robz4000]

No hate tbh, he just doesn't look the same athletically after injuries last season. Hopefully it's just rust that shakes off over the course of the year.

Agree with that, but in terms of what he's doing in-game he's fine. Just might have to accept he won't be 2019 Derrick White again.

[Dex]

The Magic suck so bad, they can't even abuse Forbes.
