    Game Thread Spurs (4-0) vs Heat(3-1)(Thu 10/30/25) [7:30PM CDT]

    So checking out the Heat, and again, this is based on a four game sample, so there's a bit of apples to oranges when comparing teams at this point. But the Heat seems to be playing a similar brand of ball to us, efficient offence (if we actually make FTs and limit TOs) and clamps on defence...

    Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

    It's funny because this year it's like Wemby finally figured out he is significantly taller than every one else on the court, and that he should keep the ball high to protect it. he is also crashing the boards, especially offensively, pretty hard. His jumpers are now comfortably over his...

    So which one are we trading?

    Then we are talking about different things. I am talking about trading him for some real help, which to me is a 3-D player or a shooting PF who can defend, you seem to be talking about that help being a high level star. I don't believe any single star is untouchable. If OKC offers their...

    San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder - a team comparison

    I think Sochan could slow down Shai to a degree. Players like that you don't expect to really stop, but if a defender can allow the Spurs to not warp their entire defence to that one single player, then it is a success. Like nephew on Lebron in the 14 Finals, Lebron still put up 28.2/7.8/4 on...

    Interesting Spurs Sightings

    I heard a story about some guy meeting Samuel Dalembert while that guy was wearing white pants, I know Sam wasn't a Spurs but that was pretty cool.

    So which one are we trading?

    Castle is still on his rookie deal so if you were to trade him away, you won't get a player of similar abilities in terms of salary match, unless you trade with a team way under the cap, or find a young player also on a rookie/bargain deal who happens to play the 3/4. I can't find a team like...

    San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder - a team comparison

    Why can't you admit Sochan actually did a semi decent job on Shai? It's almost hilarious at this point how your hatred for Sochan would just lead to these takes that are biased to the extreme. I don't believe Sochan will be good enough to stop Shai single handedly, and last year there was a...

    So which one are we trading?

    To be honest that is for Mitch to decide. I know that's a cop out but they are way smarter basketball wise. Once Fox is back Castle doesn't have to be the PG, so he can play off ball as the secondary ball handler, which would work great for him. Not sure why Mitch isn't putting Harper Castle...

    Player The "It's My Time" Busted Clocktower of Devin Vassell

    Hats off to him so far, like his defensive attention more than anything else, which I think was a bigger problem than his shot selection in the past. A situation where a 4th option is best being a 4th option, and not a 2nd option.

    NBA '25-'26 Rookie Class (non Spurs)

    This year's rookie class looking very strong. Cooper, Dylan and Edgecombe all looks like all star level talents, or even more, early on. Knueppel, Tre Johnson, Fears, CMB, Coward, Queen, Kalkbrenner, all looking like regular starter material Sion James, Demin, Maluach, Carter Bryant, Walter...
