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

[WembyFan]

My guess is he worked so much on his deep shot it fucked up his free throws. I think it'll work itself out.

IDK if this is a thing.

 

[ffadicted]

I thought Dallas was a one off but 65% on FTs tonight… is this a fluke or something that needs to be addressed we think??

 

[Paramore]

Harper with the comeback spark in the 4Q when down by 8

thanks good Sir
gotta watch the replay

Harper with the comeback spark in the 4Q when down by 8

He was a major turning point in the game.

 

[Dex]

Castle went full Nephew circa 2013 at the end...thank god the Pels suck.

I'm legit concerned about Castle's FT shooting. Getting to the line is one of his strengths but gotta make your attempts.

 

[Arguendo]

We need Fox back ASAP. To get this shit organized

Yes, very very ugly but very encouraging to get a win w/o Vic in OT. Castle and Harper played pretty poorly but still did enough to keep us in it and get the win.
9 more missed FTs, this one doesn't go to OT if we just hit 75% from the line, that's got to change.
Seems very clear they plan to get Kornet 25+mpg, this may have been the most minutes he's ever played.
Considering we are down our #2 and likely 10th man, great first 2 games. GSG!!!

 

[024]

Kornet was such a great fucking signing. Kept the Spurs in the game with 9 offensive boards and playing D on Zion. Probably the most impactful player outside of Wemby.

 

[spursparker9]

Despite shitting on Vassell....He had 22 pts, 6 made 3s, and game high +22

Why else would I say it.

 

[wemvp]

They got a professional win.

On the road. Playing C level basketball. Castle having a bad game, Wemby playing B level, poor shooting, but found a way to come back in the 4th and win in OT without Wemby.

The need for Fox in close games late is glaring though. Castle and Harper aren't yet ready to be the guy at point in those situations.

 

[Paramore]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

im so happy

2-0 and counting!!!!!

 

[Corso]

Gentlemen,
In your opinion, who is the hero of this game?

Vassell

 

[spursparker9]

Kornet was such a great fucking signing. Kept the Spurs in the game with 9 offensive boards and playing D on Zion. Probably the most impactful player outside of Wemby.

Kornet with 34mins today....tbh he is underpaid at 10mil/year if he is playing 30+min per game

totally agree

we need Fox!!!!!

Gentlemen,
In your opinion, who is the hero of this game?

Harper easily. Looked like the Pels were ready to put the game away midway through the fourth before he spurred that 14-0 run tbh.

 

[Valparaiso]

Shoutout to Korndog with that 14-12

Plus 4 assists, 1 block, and zero turnovers in 35 minutes. Beautiful efficiency.

 

[Paramore]

 

[CGD]

In other news, the Mavs lost to the Wiz...

Despite shitting on Vassell....He had 22 pts, 6 made 3s, and game high +22

Tbh Vassell was the only one hitting 3pts with everybody else cold. The team shot 28%??

 

[wemvp]

Kornet with 34mins today....tbh he is underpaid at 10mil/year if he is playing 30+min per game

I don't know if he can keep that up.

He is right in his prime age wise, doesn't have a lot of wear on the tires, and has championship experience. If he was ever ready to shoulder that kind of a load it's right now.

 

[Splits]

Gentlemen,
In your opinion, who is the hero of this game?

Keldumb for fouling out in 19 min

 

[ginobilized]

A road win in OT is always a positive, regardless of the shitstorm that preceded it

Castle look embarrassed AF after falling down on the inbounds play. Rightfully so.
Harper, Vassell, Champagnie and even Castle came up big down the stretch to secure a win w/out Wemby. So much to clean up, but, game 2 is not usually very pretty. They'll figure it out.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Gotta say I appreciate the fuck out of Luke. No way the Spurs survive this one without him.

 

[Paramore]

Fox and Barnes and Kornet will be the balancers throughout the season

the steady veterans

 

[NASpurs]

Despite shitting on Vassell....He had 22 pts, 6 made 3s, and game high +22

But seriously, fuck that guy
