Game Thread: Spurs vs Magic — Oct. 20, 2021 - 7:30pm CT

[Mr. Body]

How are the Magic this bad despite so many damn lottery picks?

They're missing several players, but those players aren't exactly the greatest.

[slick'81]

Now just dump thaddeus carrol and we golden

[poopbox]

Why did pop not challenge that ?

[Uriel]

Bring in Landale.

[Mr. Body]

The Spurs are playing at like twice the pace of last year. It's legit hard for Orlando to keep up with the movement.

[spurraider21]

Oh my god, how are we going to survive without Demar derozan pounding the out of the ball and throwing up some trash midrange shot

[DAF86]

Vassell can play the manu role honestly, but he is certainly a starter in this league.

Vassell has a 3 and D prototype. Those players are starters, tbh. I think his shooting fits a lot better in the SL. Keldon's drives fit better with the shooting of Forbes and Walker off the bench, imho.

ball don't lie

[slick'81]

Bring in Landale.

is he still brain damaged

[NASpurs]

Dang that defense though

[Chomag]

Took 2 years but we finally get to the see the Bubble Team

This! The bubble team is finaly back! Lets just hope pop doesn't try to get cute and throw his pet Forbes in to muck it back up.

[HankChinaski]

Had all day with that one

[Rocalcio]

Vassell best scorer of the team, I like that.

[slick'81]

Lol defrozen

to be fair to them they are missing a lot of players but they haven’t had much luck in the draft.

John Isaac has looked pretty good when he isn’t hurt but the guy can’t stay healthy.

[Uriel]

Remember the meltdown when we picked Vassell in the draft?

His floor is one of the best 3 and d's in the game but his ceiling.. I really have no idea. It's so mysterious. He's been very impressive.

[PhantomDashCam]

Jakob is the MVP of this game in my opinion. Dude is cleaning the boards, covering for the aggressive point of contact defense, finishing well, and making great passes for assist.

dude has been great

IMHO, most indispensable player on the team.

[slick'81]

nope

[offset formation]

Same thing man. it is what is. We'll see. How many years does Kawhi have left... i mean we fleeced Indiana and then we got fleeced. All things considered it may prove to be a fair shake.

but we got fleeced at gun point

[slick'81]

Vassel's a bad man

[kjhip1]

Team energy, defense is contagious and they are sharing the ball. Love watching them play hard. This team will surprise many this year.

[Chomag]

Did Young tell Pop that he voted for Trump?

[james evans]

Remember the meltdown when we picked Vassell in the draft?

I'm afraid for him. He's having a good game. Popovich may bench him in game 2.

[Chinook]

Vassell should be starting. Worst case, he should be starting for White or Murray to balance out the rotation. But I'd say he should be starting for McDermott with someone else starting for White/Murray. You want to develop the young guys? Play them, and not just with the bench.
