Game Thread: Spurs vs Suns — Tue. (12/11) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

Reminds me of Austin Daye launching threes after three against a garbage Sixers team a few years ago.

I think that was his first game with the Spurs and he made 6 3s or something. He looked like a real find by the FO after bouncing around the league. I don't think he ever hit more than one in any game afterwards and was soon on his way somewhere else. Never could figure that out.

Like I said: every dog has his day...and it's the ing Suns missing their best player lol.

Yea don't get me wrong, the Suns are terrible lol

[SPURt]

They're different on the road. Pop also has some questionable coaching on the road

This is true. I also feel like the team is getting to a better place overall though they were atrocious on the road last year as well. Something like 27 of their 35 losses came from the road.

Back to .500

A win against the clippers would really be great but im glad they finally have a mini streak going

[Beartrucci]

That’s about 2 more seasons after this one...you think he sticks around to pursue?

If he keeps coaching Spurs, I can't see it having anything to do with records.

Yes indeed! I think they'll play hard against Los Clips. I'm not counting them out.

[Mr. Body]

Ayton needs to force his way out of Phoenix. He will never approach his potential playing for a perpetually tanking franchise that has zero history of player development.

Yeah but Booker is a great player and worth all that moolah or something. I heard it on the Internet.

Possibly, but it will depend on how compe ive the team remains over the next two or three seasons. I could see him leaving after this or sticking around to help develop Murray, Walker, White, Poetl, Metu and whomever the next (two possible) 1st round pick(s) is/are.

Even with all the he receives here, he's still has more basketball knowledge than any current NBA coach, has a keen eye for coaching hires (who is his successor?) and is still a solid NBA coach.

If Lou Williams is still injured I like the spurs chances

Doubtful imo. I think he hangs em up after the 2020 Olympics.

Better to go out with Gold than the first round in the playoffs.

road success is nearly always a predictor of playoffs success (at least past the first round)

So look at road record to see which teams are really strong.
