Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans — Sat. (1/26) - 5:00/C (1:00am Riga Time)

Good dub! Walker looked like he belonged...and Forbes still sucks.

[Blackhaus]

Next year can’t come soon enough for spurs b-ball. Can’t wait to see DJ, walker , and white run together with a year under the spurs belt DeRozan. Hopefully they can shed some dead weight and grab some complementary pieces to help LMA and co. If not we take those 2 picks and continue the youth movement.

[BackHome]

Pop asked about Walker he replied “some of what he did I liked some I didn’t like he has a lot to learn”.

[ace3g]

Can those questioning Bertans' absence, take the time and realize the "personal reasons" could be serious.

[BackHome]

He just had a kid so could be that happens and people even athletes need to miss work

Chinook brought it up earlier in the thread. Hoping it isn't a medical problem; him wanting out would suck but it's better than other real-life issues.

[Degoat]

Pop postgame was asked if he liked what he saw from Walker. His response... “some, some I didn’t like, he has a lot to learn.”

Dude has a new born baby. Pretty sure that's the "personal reasons" issue. Skipping this 2 games road trip to spend some time with his 1 month baby seems reasonable.

It could be. It could be tragic even. Choosing to hope for the best and not to believe that unless given more evidence. It's not like folks are burning his jersey.

I was just asking, ace. I'm not the one who originally brought up him wanting out.

I would just think him wanting out would be odd since he's having a career year and is closing out games for us. Hopefully his family/personal life is okay though.

[BillMc]

Any news on Rudy?

Yes all thoughts are with him in hopes all is well with his family!

[Spurs da champs]

I dont want Bertans family to be sick or anything but at the same time that's a better justification for missing games then not playing because your name has been brought up in trade rumors. Hopefully the best case scenario is he's been given nights off to spend time with his wife & baby.

[spurs10]

Any news on Rudy?

I heard Sean say he was walking on his own to the locker room and he felt if he quickly got some ice on it he should be good, but who knows? Rudy is playing really well now and I hate to see him miss more time....will hope for the best!!

After the bull we had to deal with last year from that , you can't really blame fans, tbh.

[Spurs da champs]

I hope Rudy ain't injured too badly but at the same time if that forces PATFO's hand to give Ben Moore a chance or make a trade for the wing I'll take that double edged sword.

[GAustex]

Just a guess but Rudy is prolly sitting out tomorrow

Rudy said X-rays taken after the game of the left ankle he rolled in the 4Q were negative. "It's nothing. Just turned my ankle," said Gay, who said he will play Sunday against the Wizards. #

Thanks!

As far as I can remember, Kawhi was never listed out for "personal reasons."

Great news! Rudy might want to play, however, Pop might have a different view.....

Dd his name really come up in trade rumors? Did I miss something?

[SpurPadre]

The point is that after what Kawhi did last year, trust in athletes aren't the same, tbh.
