    Misc Fox Sports Southwest / Bally Sports Southwest / FanDuel Sports Network Southwest Status

    I loathe the FanDuel app but, if it goes down, I hope the Spurs can negotiate a replacement network rapidly. Maybe if FanDuel had sunk a few dollars into improving that interface, maybe more people would have kept their subscriptions.

    Analysis GRADES: 1/28/2026 Spurs 111 @ Rockets 99

    Finally, the good Castle showed up. It's been a minute but glad to have him back. Loved the three guard lineup. The initial return on the defensive side, Fox guarding the PG, Harper guarding the SG, and Castle guarding the SF/PF/C in a three headed lineup worked better than many people would...

    Trade Spurs Trade Ideas

    Castle, Olynyk, the Atlanta 27 pick, and our best two second rounders for Murphy. Fight me.

    Debatable. You're a sharp guy. I'd say there is a non zero chance you might have coached this team to a better record.

    Analysis Any Mitchsuckers going to do damage control for these gutless worms?

    Do we not have a single play designed to get Champ open? Or maybe run Mr Clutch off a couple of curls to get him a short jumper in the lane? Running Wemby off a couple of screens to put him closer to the basket? Of course not. Let's give Wemby the ball 20+ feet from the rim and not even bother...

    Game Thread Spurs (30-13) @ Rockets (25-15) (Tue 1/20/26) [7:00PM CDT]

    What pains me the most is knowing how great Wemby can be close to the basket but his go-to move when we need a score during crunch time is a heavily contested, falling down, long jumper. He did it over and over.

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

    The boys did well last night but what fun is it if you don't complain about something? My complaint is that we need to build a 25-30 point fourth quarter lead to rest our primary players since the deep bench can't maintain a lead against other teams deep benches. Last night was the same story...

    Player The blessed howl's moving Castle of Stephon Javonte

    At the moment he's been figured out. Opposing teams are waiting for the kick out because they know he is sloppy with them. They also know where to be and how to wait when he drives to the rim. He has to be one of the most blocked players in the league. I have a lot of faith in his potential but...

    Sean's a mega homer but you gotta expect that as a former Spur. :st-lol:

    Player The Inevitable Contract Signing Announcement of David Jones-Garcia

    If the game and effort is looking hopeless, DJG should get some burn. Give him a couple of chances to get the microwave scorer role. What good is he doing in the G League when the offense has looked like ass since Vassell went out?

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

    When Castle is crapping the bed with turnovers, Fox should be the primary ball handler. He's the mid range guy we need with Devin out but he doesn't have the ball in his hands enough to affect the game. He'll never approach anywhere near the value of his contract if he continues play like a role...

    Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

    Put this man down in the post. That was the beast we saw early in the season and he's the one we are going to need in the playoffs. Watching him choose contested jumpers with a man in his chest feels like we're wasting the few minutes he gets.

    Player The Haggard Falcon Rest Home of Harrison Barnes

    He's been bad for long enough to be very concerned. It's just over three weeks until the trade deadline. He's a good expiring contract but a good dude. Spurs history indicates they keep him. But if he can't show signs of life soon, they they have to see what they can get. It's not like he's a...
