I'm calling it now: The Spurs will win this game.
Pop says all three players are out tonight. He strongly hinted that Leonard and Jackson will also miss tomorrow night's game against the Nuggets.
I'm not sure a win in OKC without Ginobili, Jackson or Leonard is even possible unless Durant forgets he has a game today

Non issue.
Anderson could have led the spurs B unit past Lebron's Heat if Pop didn't bench him to end the game, he will do the same with Durant's OKC if he gets the opportunity tbh.
Too many injuries, fortunately its early in the season.
Just tank it. Being short handed on a back to back, its better to try to get the win tomorrow. Perhaps the bench can pull another Miami.
Yeah I don't see us winning either game without ALL 3 of those guys now. We had to at least have one of them. We can't expect guys like Mills, Anderson, and Nando to play 15-20 minutes a game and win. I don't like that Pop said lack of practice time is what's keeping Kawhi and Jack sidelined. If they're ready..throw them out there!
In order for the Spurs to win, TP and Neal each have to put up 25+ points....
We manage to win games despite playing Danny Green big minutes, so playing an upgrade like Anderson can't hurt our chances tbh.Yeah I don't see us winning either game without ALL 3 of those guys now.

I hope Westbrick goes into chucking mode tonight. THAT would give the Spurs a chance a win tonight....
Old crusty Pop would have used tonight's game to test which part of Stern's explanation for the Miami fine is most significant -- is it the fact that it's early in the season? is it the fact that it was the Spurs' only trip into Miami in the regular season? is it that the Spurs didn't report their plan?
Won't happen tonight.
It is remarkable how many times in the early part of this season, the Spurs have played a road game that comes either 1 day off or as the second night of a back-to-back against a team that is at home and has at least two days of rest.
I predict Westbrook will go Westbrick and go 5 of 27 from the field.
I assume Leonard and Jackson will be back before the year is out?
Strong urge to shoot messenger. Must resist, what is life without those 'game thought' threads...Pop says all three players are out tonight. He strongly hinted that Leonard and Jackson will also miss tomorrow night's game against the Nuggets.

BLARGRAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Heavy tanking expected
3 days rest at home after the Denver game and time to practice. I expect to see them both on the 21st v. the Pelicans, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Jack play in Denver.
I'm fine with them sitting out tonight's game. But it's particularly concerning, esp Kawhi, that they're likely out tomorrow as well. You'd think Pop would want to test out Kawhi tomorrow considering they don't play again until Friday.
Might as well sit TP/Tim tonight as well and try to win tomorrow IMO unless Pop is fine with losing both of these games.
I'll only get concerned about Leonard if he doesn't play on Friday. Even if he's been medically cleared, it makes perfect sense to me to see how performs, and recovers, from a full team practice before using him in a game.
looks like 2 road Ls.
100% this
Boris Diaw defending on Durant will be interresting
He was not that bad against Lebron
James Anderson is ing garbage.
What is up with Leonard? I thought he was only supposed to be out 2 weeks. He's been out 4 weeks now and counting...
Now the sanctions gonna be higher
Who will believe Pop they are injured huh?
Seriously the spurs are in big trouble. I need to think if to wake up for this game cause it smells like Durant gonna eat us alive on his own turf.
it's an injury that can easily linger so we're better off healing it properly.
I'm sure Pop will still start Tim, Tony, etc, but he won't be hesitant to call it a night for them at halftime if its more than a double digit deficit. Is Green going to guard durant?
