Game Thread: Spurs (17-16) at Nuggets (19-13) January 3, 2025 | 8:00 PM CT / 4:00 AM Riga / 4:00 PM Hawaii

His game seemed to change not only after injury (expected) but after the team became more Victor-centric. When Devin was the 1st option, obviously he seemed better but we're talking about a 5 or 6 win team at that time vs a 17 win team this year.

I agree, I think that not being the main option is the problem. And that's why I think that his value is not that bad. He can benefit from another scenery. We might have to send an extra 1st pick for Fox but at some point those picks are not going to be really high if we build a good team.

Anyone want to talk about Jimmy Butler? Too subpar for his salary? Plus doesn't want to be in San Antonio?

Not saying it won't happen, but it's easy to bet against your team. You win if they lose and you win if they win.

Always hurt and to old. I feel like his body completely breaks down on his next team, and I don't want the spurs to be that team.

[Frenchfred]

I mean...he's really really good.

Vassel + Keldon for Jokic

[BatManu20]

Less Vassell is more

Unfortunately we don't have many options as he's one of the very few guys on this roster who shoots the 3-ball around league average. And we can't afford to not have anymore shooting on the floor.

[scott]

Wemby really lucky to avoid #4 there

[RC_Drunkford]

those 3 fouls on Wemby make it easy now for Joker

[TekXX]

ok Wemby feel free to pass out of a double.

[scott]

Seems like it's been a really long time since CP3 has made a 3... insert "It's Been 83 years..." meme here

[BatManu20]

CP3 can't buy a bucket tonight either. Need someone else to step up and start hitting some looks.

[timtonymanu]

Settling for the die by Wemby 3 offense again

[poopbox]

Castle and Barnes both running away from Murray so he can shoot an open 3

[Tyronn Lue]

I get it Victor has hit from 29', but surely there's a better option.

[LeBowen]

Mitch was about 4 possessions late with that time-out.

[100%duncan]

GGs when Wemby goes to the bench here

we need that second star.

[BatManu20]

Nobody can make a shot so we're going to revert back to Wemby jacking deep 3's. Sigh. Need to go back to the PnR and try to exploit mismatches int the post. Hopefully some of these kickoff 3's will start falling. If they don't then we're cooked tbh.

[TekXX]

lol it's comical sometimes.

[Larry O]

Here come the Nuggets! SMH! Bad shot selections by the Spurs got the Nuggs back in this game...

yea like our highest paid player.Hopefully he wakes up and helps today.

It’s because the #2 is yet again nowhere to be found

[Tyronn Lue]

Well that TO worked wonders.

[scott]

Holy cow what a horrible 3Q. I wish it weren't so predictable.

[RC_Drunkford]

Nuggets will be up by 15 once our bench is in

[TekXX]

Chris Paul looking old and busted tonight, not that he ever had a killer instinct to begin with

[BatManu20]

Disastrous 3rd quarter so far.
