inb4 all the boomer tears about how "they couldnt make this movie today"

The sheriff's neeeeeeaaarrr!

What the hell is that group, even the Blazers are starting strong

Thank you, Tiago.

 

[O_V]

Jeez when Portland is the easy team in your group. Meanwhile the Lakers pretty much have a guaranteed trip to Vegas.

Gee, you mean the team that got the best player in the NBA for nothing? Naaah

Not true, it cost them Max Christie

So... our entire group is 1-1 so far in the cup. we are also 3rd in point differential so far with Denver somewhat running away there

Today, the 4 other teams play

Denver @ Houston
Blazers @ Warriors

i think us beating Denver next week, likely without Wemby, will be nearly impossible... so its probably in our interest for Houston to win today so Denver doesnt run away with the group

in the other game, given that we still have a cup game vs the Blazers left and a chance to knock them off, its going to be preferable for Portland to win that one, but they're quite banged up

 

[eric365]

Denver won.
Spurs wins the group if they win the next 2 games.
But it will be tough to beat denver

 

[spursistan]

Might steal the Blazers game but zero chance against Denver without Wemby..That Warriors L looms large.

II want to see DJG play 40 minutes with $500K on the line.

still cannot believe we could not beat them even once but GS loses to Portland on their home floor ...

For the first game, I think that team was going through some internal drama and came out super focused to show they were dealing with it. Unlucky for Spurs. The second game we shoulda had tbh (just like that stupid Laker game)

[Fireball]

If Sacramento can beat the Nuggets in Denver, anything goes tbh. But Portland first ...

 

[spurraider21]

its now as simple as win or go home

Nuggets: 2-1
Spurs: 2-1
Rockets : 2-2
Blazers: 2-2
Warrios: 1-3 (lol... wonder who they got that win against)

and the last group game is tomorrow, with Spurs @ Nuggets

we cannot get in as a wildcard. both Phoenix and OKC are currently 3-0 in their group, so there will be at least one 3-1 wildcard team, and there is only 1 wildcard team per conference.

if we beat denver, we advance to the quarterfinals. and then its just 1 win away from Vegas!

The road to the nba cup is short and pointless

 

[spurraider21]

insane that we made it out of that group!

we play @ lakers on 12/10 in the quarterfinals. winners move on to vegas

Is there a chance Wemby and Castle would be back by then?

 

[NotoriousHOP]

Unexpected victory. Hope our Victor is back by then. Likely, no. But the fact that he was never in a walking boot gives hope.

 

[Fireball]

Phoenix went toe-to-toe with OKC in OKC ... those losses against the Sunsn are looking more and more like high quality losses

 

[ginobilized]

Might be delusional, but, I bet Castle and maybe Wemby come back next week and are in Vegas and suited up to play with 2-3 games to shake off the rust. I don't think we beat the Lakers without Wemby and Castle.

Counting on you to score us the courtside seats for the Semi-final when we beat the Lakers, btw

 

[dn0774]

Love the heart the Spurs showed winning @ PDX and Denver. Awesome opportunity to get some revenge against Luka.

 

[spursparker9]

Would be hard to beat Lakers

Luka and Austin Reeve can easily average 30+ per night with 10+ FT each

Best backcourt in the league tbh. Even LeBum is the 3rd option now

 

[mudyez]

Let's get this f****er!

 

[mudyez]

We could win our first Cup against the very same team as our first Ship.

 

[Paramore]

We buckled the odds so far
