Game Thread: Spurs at 76ers, 5 PM San Antonio Time , 1 AM Riga Time

[Atl Spur]

Derrick White has 27 right now.

Drafted #29 by this inept front office….. #hopefullybranhampansout.

Great win. Might be the best won of the season when the dust settles. So I will take that. Vassell, I am telling you, can be a future allstar.

[emanueldavidginobili]

The shot creation and the tough shots Devin made for most players in the NBA was impressive tonight. Fade to the left, fade to the right, catch and shoot, this guy can score the ball in a lot of different ways.

Derrick White has 27 right now.

And that Luka guy is dominating Memphis. Man, Pop should never have cut him!

[CGD]

Derrick White has 27 right now.

And they needed all those to beat Orlando. That magic squad is a fun watch.

I go on vacation for two days and you guys let the Spurs win two games?! What the ?!

[Dejounte]

Trying to think of other wing pairs who can give you 20 a piece as the top options on offense any given night…

1. Tatum & Brown - though I think Tatum plays small ball four these days
2. George & Nephew - same deal here. I think Nephew has been playing small ball four
3. Butler & Herro

Obviously, KJ & DV sit at the lowest tier since they’re still unproven, but it’d be great if they get media recognition as the 1-2 punch of the Spurs by season’s end.

28-15 FT attempt advantage for Philly too and still lost

[Jordan Jackson]

76ers don’t have the talent or mental toughness to turn it on/off against bad teams. They tried that tonight and embarrassed themselves.

Joel Embiid is a disappointment - he keeps showing up out of shape. That mofo don’t care.

[Harry Callahan]

Bring 'em back (Silver Dancers). I saw what the Spurs are rolling out now for the timeout breaks and I almost threw up Wednesday night with the "Pep" squad. There were two obese guys out there that had no business on the court. Just a weird gathering of people.

[Chomag]

I'm still seeing Vassell as potential a Scotty Pippen type if he can put his together.

[scott]

81-1 still on the table.

LOL James Harden.

[offset formation]

FURK!!!

Thought the same...

[skin27]

Spurs should be losing games!! Fck!!

[SpurPadre]

What the is this team doing? Goddamnit.

[Dejounte]

Pop really doesn't want to tank. He'd rather play the veterans heavy minutes for a shot at the play-in tournament than play the youngsters heavy minutes for a shot at Wembanyama.

What the is this team doing? Goddamnit.

Relax—the franchise is tanking as a whole.

[tbdog]

This seems weird to say this. But here we go...... Guys, relax. It's a long season. Plenty of games to change our standing.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

OP banned from starting game threads this year

Franchise might be trying but is Pop on board with that or an opposition?

I think Pop will compete when he sees opportunities to teach. But last night was more of a trap game for the Sixers, with a bunch of inexperienced 22 year olds on a 2nd leg of a b2b.

Will see but I'm wondering how much of an influence and a say so Pop still has on that end of the franchise?

[Seventyniner]

Sick stat.

Last night might have been the first time the Spurs even had a chance at an upset win like that since 1997. In that the Spurs hadn't been that big of underdogs since then. I don't know how to research that, though.
