Game Thread Spurs (15-6) @ Cavs (13-10) (Fri 12/5/25) [6:30PM CDT]

Amazed he wasn’t ejected

 

[ginobilized]

Penalty 1 is acceptable

 

[Ni-G]

Why it takes ages for a simple obvious decision.

 

[Dex]

well that will teach him a lesson. Let's give him the opportunity to do better

Gotta get over himself

 

[spursistan]

We are missing our best and 3rd best player. Plus our back-up center.

Cavs have their 2 top players. That's all it takes tbh.

They need Wemby/Castle back for the Pelicans game to get some reps; otherwise it would be a mistake throwing them straight into that Cup game (just accept taking more Ls as this group is dead tired). Not sure how the hell Steph went from missing a between 1 to 2 weeks to more than 3 weeks and still going

 

[scott]

Dunno how DJG avoided ejection there…

Getting outscored by 25 in the third is not great.

 

[frenchfred]

He's probably still on a minutes restriction, has been restricted to 20-22 minutes since he came back.

forgot about that, makes sense

 

[100%Duncan]

Sochan really stupid shooting that.


The player who threw a full court shot had more chances of making it than you.

Even so, he got through his rookie years mostly injury free but now has been out a couple of weeks. I just hate the spurs injury luck this season.

 

[couchman]

Why is Sochan camped at the 3pt line? Just a total abortion if a quarter

 

[Raven_]

that was well setup for the sochan 3, no complaints with that shot tbh. But why are devin's minutes at 20 after 3/4? wtf mitch

 

[Guru of Nothing]

44 - 19 quarter

 

[Fabbs]

Treys
7-11 Vassell
5-24 rest of Spurs

remember all those videos during summer practicing his 3-point shooting. None of the ones he is taking now look like the ones he took in those videos. His form actually looks worse now than last year

 

[100%Duncan]

Devin subbed out at 6 mins and didnt come back. WTF

 

[LeBowen]

remember all those videos during summer practicing his 3-point shooting. None of the of the ones he is taking now look like the ones it took in those videos. His form actually looks worse now than last year

Tbf, he took them off the dribble in those videos, maybe that's the key.

 

[100%Duncan]

Never really bought those.

 

[frenchfred]

Treys
7-11 Vassell
5-24 rest of Spurs

and after scoring 25 points in the first half, he only scored 2 points in the 3rd quarter

 

[spursfanfromafar]

This was bound to happen. Atkinson telling his team to focus on scoring in the paint instead of jacking it up and they did that largely in the third quarter limiting threes to open shots. Will take a miracle to recover in the 4th quarter for the Spurs.

 

[Blizzardwizard]

what happened defensively that quarter is not exactly surprising given your only two viable bigs are out and their stand-ins (biyombo/olynyk/sochan) are barely nba players at this point.


just gotta hope kornet's latest ouchie doesn't keep him out until 2026 because with no wemby return on the horizon it could be a rough few weeks

 

[Raven_]

game not over tbh

 

[Mal]

well that will teach him a lesson. Let's give him the opportunity to do better

You dont do that. Next game, next training will be there to respond

 

[spursparker9]

game not over tbh

Not over if you have Curry

 

[scott]

This Tomlin guy is an example of what’s possible when you don’t use your 2-ways on worthless bums like Minix and Ingram

 

[timtonymanu]

Yeah we need another reliable big. Especially because Wemby and Kornet aren’t exactly injury prone less. Suckhan given a golden opportunity and does little with it.
