Game Thread: Raptors at Spurs / November 2, 2022 | 7:00 PM CT

[John B]

Spurs Injuries: Keldon Johnson (Questionable — Calf), Jeremy Sochan (Questionable — Illness), Isaiah Roby (Questionable — Illness), Devin Vassell (Out — Knee), Blake Wesley (Out — MCL)

Raptors Injuries: Justin Champagnie (Out — On Assignment), Ron Harper Jr. (Out — Two Way), Otto Porter Jr. (Questionable — Personal), Fred VanVleet (Questionable — Back)

Without Keldon and Devin, 43.7% of Spurs offense, it would be hard to get a W, but let’s see. Boy I hate VanVleet too.

Go Spurs Go!!!

I hope all of the questionable people play unless they're worse off than it seems. If the Spurs want to tank, trade guys away. Otherwise throwing a way winnable games is only going to get the team to be stuff at like the 6-9 lottery slot.

Plus this season probably matters to Johnson. It's one thing to not care about accolades when you're trying to win a le. But if you're bad or mediocre, things like MIP or an All-Star game a important. You don't want Johnson to be more injured and miss a bunch of time. But if that's not a concern, then you let him go and build his own storylines. He already agreed to an robbery extension. Let the dude make his sponsorship money.

Agreed. I’m just hoping they’re healthy, especially Devin. I’m growing su ious especially he’s been out the same time as Primo, and maybe they're still conducting their investigations, but hopefully it’s not related.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Keldon and Roby are out, Sochan and Richardson are good to go.

[RC_Drunkford]

sounds like a win to me

That’s a good news

Devin was running a full court pick up game today at shoot around and should be back soon. Most likely Friday or Saturday if I had to guess, hopefully it's Saturday and not Friday since i'll be at the game and I doubt he'll play a back to back if he comes back Friday.

[LeBowen]

Good news, really wanna see Sochan match up against Siakam/OG/Barnes.

Gonna be a good L tonight.

That Primo situation spooked me with the amount of people out.

[lefty]

Should be a L with all those injuries, but we never know

[baseline bum]

Either tank or don't JFC

[DAF86]

So the rotation would look something like:

Jones, JRich, Langford, Sochan, Poeltl

Branham, McBuckets, KBD, Collins

If we win.

we won the last game with a rotation of

Jones, Langford, Keldon, KBD, Poeltl

Branham, McBuckets, Collins

Someone is going to have to pick up the scoring load a lot without Keldon though. without Devin and Keldon out there I have no idea whose going to put up consistent points, i'll be surprised they crack 100. It would be fun if Branham gets hot tonight.

Probably McD starts and JRich takes over PG in the second team.

[Mr. Body]

Romeo is going to guard every player simultaneously and Branham is going off for a 40-piece.

[slick'81]

Welp,cant win em all

[heyheymymy]

Branham is on green light watch tonight

[John B]

I hope VanVleet is out. He’s a Spurs killer.

Normally I’d like to see all healthy on both teams to check Spurs gauge. Because I think the way Spurs are playing, they beat this team.

[MannyIsGod]

Y'all are crazy if you think we win a game without Keldon lol. This team has been overachieving but that's with Keldon playing as a good number one option. They lose that tonight so they lose this game.

[lefty20]

Spurs offense gonna sputter big time tonight. Missing our two best scorers plus Raps have good length to put on our only PG. They did fantastic job of blanketing Trey couple days ago.

[Dejounte]

This is a breakout game for Malaki if he wanted it to be. Only thing stopping him is himself. Dude needs to start aggressive from the getgo.

[playbonner15]

Looks like he's still out

[playbonner15]

Ehh not expecting much. Hope Malaki plays good though
