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

[LeBowen]

Good start, we got to keep the pace up and give Jokic no time to catch a breath.

[Strategic]

Come on Spurs

[RC_Drunkford]

coming out strong. I like that we're posting Wemby up on the left block

[spurraider21]

castle very springy when he's able to launch off two feet

wemby kinda being lazy with these long pull-up 2's

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby's inside scoring is elite.

[Obstructed_View]

Castle has some hops

Also, announcers are finally pronouncing Wembanyama correctly in year 2.

Danny is struggling a bit with it.

[scott]

Two on Joker! This is playing exactly into our favor early.

Like Devin's energy on D early. Huge difference if he can play exactly like this on D

[heyheymymy]

Vic pays Jokic back plus the and 1 and it's Jokers 2nd foul already

Nice situation develops

he's been pretty good on the boards recently

[scott]

Spoke too soon and Devin let's Braun break free on a curl that leads to a Jokic 3. Gotta limit those off the ball mistakes.

[heyheymymy]

HB bringing big unk energy

[TekXX]

Barnes took his Wheaties this morning.

Agree. And playmaking has been positive the last few games while his shooting has been off.

I'm generally a Devin hater, but I have noticed his positive contributions to the rest of the boxscore as of late. REB, AST, STL have all been great lately.

[onechance87]

Castle not being able to shoot is hurting us.

[BatManu20]

Castle's two 3-point attempts early weren't even close. Two horrendous bricks tbh. Think he's feeling the pressure to start hitting 3's and he's overthinking it now.

Castle's two open 3-point attempts early weren't even close. Two horrendous bricks tbh. Think he's feeling the pressure to start hitting 3's and he's overthinking it now.

Just keep shooting, tbh. Wemby's 3s were just as bad early in the season.

theres no reason he shouldnt be a good defender. good size/strength/wingspan for the position and a solid athlete. was a good defender not just in college but early in his NBA career. its been frustrating but thats where he can make his hay

[heyheymymy]

Mitch should send a layup drill at Joker with 2 fouls and make him decide between defense and risking a 3rd foul

[heyheymymy]

Champ cuts to the rim are getting reliable

[100%duncan]

Collins getting abused by Jokic

[RC_Drunkford]

Nuggets are one of the few teams that does not have a better bench than ours

[heyheymymy]

Yeah Zollins was climbing up Jokic's shoulder there

[scott]

CHAMPAGNIE SUPERNOVA

[Dejounte]

Champagnie cleaning up Vassell’s mess

[spurraider21]

ive never seen somebody look so undeservedly confident putting up contested 3's than keldon
