    Feels like we're going to turn the corner and get back on track. Tonight would be a good night to see a complete performance from this team. We haven't gotten one of those since the 3rd Thunder game.

    Analysis 2025-26 Lineup Combinations (Updated Every 10 Games)

    Interesting, thanks for putting those together. One thing that seems to stand out, even when looking at other 5 man combos where you sub out the above for Castle and/or Harper, is the fact that without Wemby, or Kornet as his backup, our lineup is pretty small. Maybe the Pacers could do us an...

    It would be nice to win this one. Depends on which Spurs team shows up. I'll say Spurs 105-100.

    Game Thread Spurs (31-14) vs Pelicans (11-36) (Sun 1/25/26) [6:00PM CDT]

    We've seen this team step up, so I know it's in there. Feels like we do a great job playing "down" to our level of competition and the Pelicans game is a great example. The OG championship level Spurs teams would have stretches like this, and games like this, and we'd forgive them because we...

    Usually a point guard has an idea of how to run an offense. Jeremy was lost out there, hence a team that was lost. His basketball IQ doesn't fit the prototype for a point guard, who should be the most court-aware person out there. Playing him as a PG was a huge mistake.

    Quite honestly, the best ST years were 2003-2016.

    Player The Methodical Meritocracy of Maestro Mitch Johnson and his Many Minions

    Mitch has undoubtedly made some "rookie" mistakes as a HC. I'd still say overall he's earning more than a passing grade...B to B+ in my book. Does he (and the team) have the acumen to win a playoff series at this point? Hard to tell. I haven't seen him have to (or try to) adjust a whole...

    Player The Layne Staley Depression-Laden Foxhole of De'Aaron Martez Fox

    I do wonder how he's going to fit in two years once Castle and Harper are more mature. That's a lot of money for a guy who may not even be in the starting lineup in 3 years. Depending on where the cap moves the juice may not be worth the squeeze.

    I never thought I'd agree, but yeah, it appears Devin is hugely missed. And...how long does it take to heal from an adductor strain??!!

    Probably the worst likeness of Keldon, ever! :LOL: But yeah, hard not to love the guy.

    I feel like the Spurs are going to blow these guys out tonight. We've toyed with them twice already. Spurs win 138-113

    It's shocking to me that we tried this guy as our starting PG. Sad we didn't give him a little run this year, but him rotting on the bench isn't going to make him any better. I'd of let him play in Austin to at least get reps and maybe give him a hint of trade value.

    Analysis GRADES: 1/19/2026 Spurs 123 v Jazz 110

    Olynyk, Waters and McLaughlin could all be cut and this team would only be better off for it. On that note, where is Jones-Garcia?
