Game Thread: Spurs at Timberwolves, 7 PM CT, 3 AM Riga Time

[NASpurs]

Teams in the running for #1 overall pick don't typically win 3 out of 4 games at ANY point in the season.

Honestly I'm sure it's happened.

[SpurPadre]

Ok, I guess I'm in the minority in preferring a #1 pick over the same 7th seed aspirations where no superstar cares to play to get us over the hump.

It's easily rare AF though.

that ship may have already sailed

So, I missed the first half Sochan scoring blitz (relatively speaking). How was he getting his shots?

[heyheymymy]

Played size tonight and didn't even need Dieng to win

People enjoy good basketball. I don’t know a basketball fan who wouldn’t enjoy those first three quarters. It was beautiful execution. If you pause your mind a minute and actually think about why you watch the NBA, you will appreciate these things. But I mean, if you only keep up with the Spurs because you’re looking for a moment that may never come then good luck to you. Your life may just pass you by tbh.

Smart cuts, transition alley-oops and a sweet turn around J on the post over KAT.

[TDomination]

We were swept last year by these guys. Now they added gobert

this should have been a cakewalk for twolves

spurs doing something right.

You're just in the minority thinking the sky is falling 4.9% through the season.

[BillMc]

Spurs are the West's 3rd seed 4 games into the season. Who'd have thunk it?

Spurs still gonna lose plenty this season tbh. Have them at about 18 wins.

[Mr. Body]

Theyll get beat a lot. They're surprising teams right now, but don't have the depth to overcome good teams coming at them hard.

I give them 2 weeks by then teams will have film on them

That was a blast to watch -

They have depth. Their bench is basically all rotation-caliber players, with Primo being the only question mark. They don't have the high-end talent to overcome teams good enough to take away easy points.

I don't dislike the bench. Just saying they don't have the excellent scoring and playmakers to really count on. If Richardson or Dougie go off, that's another matter.

I got a feeling Sochan will get that 3pt shooting eventually. And when he does, man.

I wish we had Chip does any one know if we hired somebody to replace him?

[Atl Spur]

Sochan will be a beast by the end of his 3 / 4 year!

I'd put my money on it being an in-house promotion.
