Game Thread: Clippers (19-13) at Spurs (16-16) December 31st, 2024 | 6:00 PM CT / 2:00 AM Riga / 2:00 PM Hawaii

[Slippy]

Vic working hard to get good posi down low. Spurs need to look for the man

Dev definitely need to tighten up on Powell and not foul. Overall team d is good tho resulting in easier scores the other end

[Mal]

Kings can't ask for those two in their situation. They can get Devin, Tre and picks.

But there is still this 50 mil cap hit, that Fox would demand.

[LeBowen]

We lost all Vic era games against them. 3 games last season and the season before that. Eye test before this game, Zu seemed to always have had his way with Wemby. The last win the spurs had vs the clippers was in Jan 2022.

Wemby had 24/13/3 with 9 block in the first matchup this season.
Last season he did have two poor games, but those were in late October and early November, he still hadn't figured things out.
Had 22/15/3 with 3 blocks in late November last season.

[LeBowen]

But there is still this 50 mil cap hit, that Fox would demand.

No point in looking at the numbers when max contracts are always the same percentage of the cap.
The cap would be at $170M when that deal kicks in and would keep rising by 15 to 20 million in every following season.

No one picking up Powell

[LeBowen]

Jeremy done for the game, this is Castle's chance.

[Larry O]

Second half. Okay Spurs, let's keep the petal on the metal and GSG!!! Rook sighting in the starting lineup due to a Sohound injury, BTW.

[timtonymanu]

Castle and Paul need to start together again.

[Larry O]

The Rook is thriving in the starting lineup..
where he BELONGS! GSG!!!

[100%duncan]

Stephon Castle, YOU are a starter.

[spurraider21]

yeah, sochan out for game. if he misses time, castle will be back in the starting lineup

[objective]

Missed the start of the half, what was Sochan's injury?

[scott]

Jeremy done for the game, this is Castle's chance.

hopefully nothing serious… hopefully there isn’t a Sochan v Clippers jinx going on

[100%duncan]

Jeremy done for the game, this is Castle's chance.

I fear for our rebounding but Castle is just a starter at this point. Mitch cant keep turning a blind eye to this.

[LeBowen]

Zubac looks like he doesn't give a single about this game.

[skin27]

Shots falling tonight nice

[timtonymanu]

Where’s Kawhi Duncan? We just need a “Sochan kills the spacing.” post again.

[Larry O]

Missed the start of the half, what was Sochan's injury?

Back.

[Strategic]

Blow them out

[Spurs Brazil]

Fantastic 3rd quarter by Castle

[100%duncan]

Slight nitpick, there were a couple possessions in the 3rd and 2nd where Vic had his man sealed in thecpaint and they missed him. They need to keep encouraging Vic to play inside and feed him the rock at those instances.

[Larry O]

DV-24 grown cold from the 3, SMH..

[LeBowen]

Non-Wemby block of the season!

[timtonymanu]

Vassell is so ing useless when his shot isn’t falling. I can’t feel comfortable with him as a 2nd option.

[cutewizard]

Great to have Flow
