Game thread: Spurs (4-22) @Bulls (12-17) 7:00 PM, 3:00 AM Riga

[LeBowen]

I think it's time I tried my luck. Even included Riga time!

Bulls are on a back to back, beat the Lakers last night.

Wemby and Keldon are listed as probable, Devin is doubtful due to an illness.
Nothing relevant on Chicago's injury report.

At this point I reduced to myself to the numbers game, as in hoping for a random win here and there based on nothing but luck.
Bulls are nothing special, but still beat the Spurs with ease due to scheduled third quarter meltdown after an 11 point lead at the half in the first meeting of the season.

[CorrectCrusader]

Chicago been playing extremely well since their ball hog got benched.
Wemby will have to carry the defensive load as usual. Need good games from Tre Sochan and Cedi to win

[rjv]

it'd be great to pull out a road victory but i'd have to go with the bulls on this one.

[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[spurs10]

I think we have a shot tonight! After the 46 point humiliation and the Bucks loss, they should be doing their all to win a game. Including Riga time should also seriously bolster our chance for a win on the road!
Go Spurs Go!

Bulls by 20

Spurs Injuries: Charles Bassey – Out (left ACL,) Charles Bediako – Out (G League,) Sidy Cissoko – Questionable (G League,) David Duke Jr. – Out (G League,) Keldon Johnson – Probable (low back,) Victor Wembanyama – Probable (right ankle)

Bulls Injuries:

I’m going for Spurs here because of Bulls winning last night and Bulls winning the last meeting. It’s a trap game with all the listed injuries. Let’s get this!

[Robz4000]

Trap game for the Bulls. They only win by 25.

[timtonymanu]

Guess the statline for each starter outside wemby:

Keldon 6-19, 1-7 3 pointers, 17 points
Branham 3-7, 1-3 3 pointers, 7 points
Sochan 1-10, 0-4 3 pointers, 5 points
Zollins 5-12, 2-9 3 pointers, 12 points
Vassell 8-22, 3-10 3 pointers, 23 points

[LeBowen]

I've honestly never seen a team with more fastbreak turnovers.

[poopbox]

Wemby passing

[poopbox]

Tre letting Drummond get a steal

[Joseph Kony]

any defensive pressure from the opposition and it's an automatic turnover for this team

[SayNoToDrugsTBH]

Why the is Poop treating WV like he's 39 yrs old?

[LeBowen]

Start Tre they said, he's a real point guard.

[CorrectCrusader]

Great block by Collins to end the quarter.

[Joseph Kony]

Nice, collins finally doesnt get posterized

[Thomas82]

It's sickening to see Wemby having fewer minutes than the other starters.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I like this group on the floor to start the 2nd.

[CorrectCrusader]

Notice how when Drummond gets a mismatch his teammates IMMEDIATELY give him the ball. Sickening.

[Joseph Kony]

really annoying how soft Wemby is on offense, always settling for long jumpers

That shot is a 0% contest every time. Once they fall consistently it'll likely be one of the most efficient shots in the league. Relax

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby bailing Drummond out by taking ass jumpers... He can easily drive on him and get fouled or get a bucket... But dude is so afraid of contact, it's maddening sometimes

[Kawhi Duncan]

Start Tre they said, he's a real point guard.

Bad take... Tre consistently is too 10 in assist/turnover ratio... A bad stretch in a quarter doesn't negate that
