My preview
It's been a long summer, as the Jimmer thread clearly exemplifies, but Spurs basketball is upon us again! Exciting times. I wrote a 1000 words piece breaking down interesting matchups and subplots in this game (like Parker vs Rondo), but unfortunately Pop decided to rest the big 3 + Diaw and apparently himself (plus I hit the wrong button and lost the entire thing), so scratch that, and let's revisit a bit what's at stake in this particular game.
Now, some people will claim that preseason games don't matter, but this is actually a pivotal game for this Spurs team and the franchise. New additions like LMA and West are making their debut, but also a sonic wave of young, fresh, hip, pimple faced newcomers will be available and fighting for a roster spot. If you're just looking for the same old boring Spurs, there's Matt Bonner. He's just there. It's been said that you know greatness when you see it. So we should see Spurs greatness in this game. And if we don't, it's not too late to tank, tbh. That's why this game has the potential to make or break our season, so you don't really want to miss out.
A few words about our opponents. Some good players in Damascus Cousins, Rudy got (as dabom would say), Darren Collison, McLemore and our own Marco Belinelli and James Anderson. A few has been in Rondo and Butler. After that, nothing worth mentioning. Projected to be a cute little team fighting hard not to finish last in the West.
Probable starting lineups:
Kings: Rondo, McLemore, Cousins, Cauley-Stein, got
Spurs: McCallum Jr, Green, Kawhi, LMA, Bonner

He would've likely shot better than Rondo, tbh
So are you gonna stick with this bull all season?
Ready for the meltdowns. Still doubtful whether I will be able to watch it, I have things going on tomorrow and they are not showing it on League Pass. Looking forward to reading all th funny z here.
I expect to win through. Messina is not kidding around after Becky won a summer league championship with a team starring Kyle and Simmons!!

Season over if they lose.
I wish the NBALP was showing preseason games like they promote...I'd like to see this game.
You mean it's not on LP?
I looked at NBA.com and a few games are on League pass.
this game is not marked as being on LP on nba.com
ready for the first meltdown of the season ...
Probably just a quirk in my account. Not streaming them though. I have to call CS.
Expect a first mini meltdown here tbh..if we lose with LMA chucking a brickhouse in typical Blazers-BALL; Boban posterized by Cousins and proving too slow for nba, Kawhi looking immobile after bulking up..ST Spurfan won't disappoint..
Losing this game=losing to Alba Berlin last year
It will set the tone for season, we can't afford a loss here tbh
Who are we tanking for this season?
So this game won't be showed on NBA International LP? Oh well, I really wanted to watch it.
Anyone know if BallStreams will have a stream of the game?
Jimmer gonna make Belli his . You heard it here first.
I wouldn't go that far as to say the seasons over if they lose, but at some point you've got to "flip the switch".
There are only 87 games until the playoffs start....
