Preseason Game Thread: Spurs v Thunder 7pm CT on CW35

[Mugen]

Will be interesting to see how Castle speeds his game up a bit this season to match NBA pace. I want to see his cutting ability translate this year especially playing off a guy like Vic.

Yes, spending 3 FRPs on Dieng was unmatched. Trading Sengün to the rockets was unmatched. Drafting Poku was unmatched.

Everybody craps the bed. This forum only concentrates on that aspect for the spurs. Everybody else gets a pass, and Sam Presti is the Christ Child.

The fact that you continue to think that BWrong is even in the same stratosphere as Presti is your magnum Sniffus tbh

Blake Wesley 3/4/7 and 2 STLs

1/2 3PM and 0 TOs 0 FLs

[CorrectCrusader]

Is branham the worst player of all time?

I don’t think Brian Wright, for all of his faults, has ever made a move as bad or stupid as Presti trading 3 FRPs for the right to draft a complete scrub in Ouseman Dieng.

[Mugen]

Man, Blake with just a little semblance of an in-between game would be an interesting player tbh.

[CorrectCrusader]

Castle just has fantastic court vision. Great future ahead

Yeah, that really set them back

Difference is that he routinely makes great moves and BWrong does all

[heyheymymy]

got the summer league squad out there

cisscco is so bad.Guy should be cut.

I don't know why people think that this team is a play-in team, it is a bottom 8 again. The only improvement for this team this year is that Wemby has one year experience under his belt and he is going to win games by himself. Paul is tool old, Castle is a rookie, we can say that Barnes is a little better than Osman, okay. But outside of that, it is the same team and none of the players have shown any tendency last year to improve their game.

In the West, only the Blazzers will be worse than the Spurs. In the East, Detroit, Washington, Brooklyn, Toronto and probably Chicago. And at that point, we might as well tank and hope that the balls fall our way again.

after after the 2025-26 season, tank again?

[Mugen]

Sidy hasn't shown anything at all even going back to SL. I don't think he's a lock to make the roster at all tbh.

[jeebus]

Shidy's shot still looks like complete ass

[ace3g]

Minix!!!

[Russ]

Minix getting minutes.

[CorrectCrusader]

This mensah dude is horrid, big and slow and bad

[jeebus]

Wasn't Minix dropping bombs in SL too? He might be worth a 2 way

[CorrectCrusader]

I feel like I might contract aids just from watching the hype squad

[onechance87]

yup im liking minix for sure.

[thiste]

So the way I see this game, and of course it's the first game of pre-season so it's just glorified training at this point, is that they fielded J-Dub, Chet, Caruso & Hartenstein for 60 minutes total, all players that are starter level on good teams (and even flirting with All-Star for J-Dub ; first team all D for Caruso).
Who did we field that's even comparable? Harrison Barnes for 20 minutes.

We were consistently behind but close & keeping up through 3 quarters. So that's a positive in my book.

Magnum Sniffus creative,thanks for the chuckle

[onechance87]

Castle gotta be better at handling the ball.Looked sloppy with 6 tos.First preseason tho.

Half of this forum are just Presti-suckers. They won't just go follow the Thunder instead.
