Game Thread Spurs (1-0) @ Pelicans (0-1) (Fri 10/24/25) [7:00 PM CDT]

I hope the game plan is to feed Champ on the regular. Give him an opportunity to put the SF gig on lockdown.
 
Barnes will start on Zion with a healthy dose of Wemby lurking. Help rotations will need to be crisp
 
Defensive game plan in this one, IMO, is let Zion do whatever he will against Barnes/CB (assuming we won't have Sochan or KO back... this is a game we could use them) and then just make sure we're shutting down everything on the perimeter. Don't let Jordan Poole, TMIII and Herb Jones kill us from the 3PT line and we'll be fine.
 
Who's going to attempt to guard Poseidonyama?
these are the centers on their roster

Yves Missi - now questionable
Kevon Looney - out
Karlo Matkovic - was out yesterday with a back issue, status for Friday unclear
Derik Queen - 6'9 rookie
Hunter Dickinson - undrafted rookie

I feel bad for New Orleans' levees right about now.
 
Yves Missi is pretty average most games so him being out doesn’t move the needle although most of their C’s are injured.

Pels should have beaten the Grizz but their bench unit were all basically double digit negatives in terms of plus minus. Coach will probably tighten the rotation to avoid a similar collapse.
 
Game won’t be on fanduel. Gonna have to stream this one. Can someone PM what streaming site is good these days.
