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

This is where we miss Sochan. Their length bothers us, too, but the Spurs are another team this year.
 
Better than seeing Barnes get beat almost every single time on the perimeter. Castle has a better chance at disrupting Zion’s dribble. Either way, still going to be an interesting situation with Sochan out.
They’ll do what they did to Dallas. They sometimes had Barnes or even Chanpagnie on Davis, because Wemby was right by the rim, waiting to swat it.
 
We'll win this easily so long as we don't give them open 3point looks and let them get hot from range. That is their only chance. As long as we play stout defense and don't do that bullshit where guys unnecessarily double down into the paint and leave their man wide open from 3, we'll win this one going away. Might even get more Harrison Ingram minutes.

Let Zion do whatever he'll do. He's not the threat here.

Agreed. There's no reason to get in foul trouble trying to keep Zion in check. Let him do his thing and be disciplined in every other area.

I share your confidence, but, note that Wemby has yet to beat the Pels when Zion suits up. Let's make history tonight!!!!
 
Expectations have been raised, as they should be, after the opener. The next 5 “easy” games will be a good measuring stick for what we can expect this season. Hoping we see more of what we saw game 1, and that wasn’t an outlier good game.
 
Hopefully not a trap game after the Mavs.
Can we even talk about trap games after one good win?
For all the potential this team has, they haven't achieved anything.
Get to at least 5 more wins than losses and then we can talk about our guys getting ahead of themselves.
 
Spurs by 20+ tbh

but really, i want to see if guys start playing laxed after getting all the intense hype and praize over the last 48 hours, or if they stay hungry

most of the guys should still have a fire under their ass given the intense competition for minutes this year, particulalry with the pending returns of Fox/Sochan/Olynyk

Would love to see the alien doing alien things, but a solid game & a W would be outstanding. Can't afford to lose these games.
 
Feel like a let down game is incoming. Followed by at least 3 cliff jumping threads.

And it will be just like old times.

its trauma from the past seasons, weve built our resilliency, now lets embrace the mundane. Death, taxes, and the Spurs. this season will be different, everyone overlooked this team becuase they are young.
