Game Thread Spurs (16-7) @ Lakers (17-6) (Wed 12/10/25) [9:00PM CDT]

[timtonymanu]

Well at least I don’t have to expect a W. Just don’t get anyone else hurt.

 

[SpursFan86]

Well that blows. Not sure if it’s more frustrating because it means we likely get bounced tomorrow or because this probably means that his injury is worse than initially thought.

Going to end up missing over a month with a minor calf strain

 

[DaSlicer]

Wouldve been the biggest game of Wemby’s young career. Very disappointing.

If the injury is worse than advertised, it’s very bad for us.

If they’re just babying him, it’s bad for us.


Lose lose

I have a feeling Victor is going to be the Spurs' version of Anthony Davis. He's always going to have some random injury and get hurt due to his body frame.

I wish the FO would just be honest but what do I know.

I think bitch is done with sochan and he'd rather play 3 pg + barnes/vassell + kornet

With Wemby out, Sochan is getting some solid minutes against LeBron. It’s surprising that Harper’s fans don’t have enough faith to see he would be instrumental in shaking up these Lakers. They’ve got no answer for him coming off the bench. Luka and Reeves can be pretty turnover-prone, igniting the fast break, which could be key to taking these guys down. Time and opportunity for Super Rook to shine.

Man it's too bad we're terrible and can't win without Wemby. I don't even know why we even bother playing the games...

Sack up you whiny bitches. This team is 8-3 without Wemby, we aren't the bottom dwelling tank squad of the past... let's get hype and win this fucking game tomorrow.

No shit. These Spurs have been in every one of those 11 games. They might not be able to hang with the Thunder yet, but they have shown they can stay with better teams than these lakers.

 

[Knoxxx]

Per prior discussion, the upside of a loss is an easier next game. I am sure Wemby will return as soon as he and the doctors feel he is ready. The big ones I want him ready for is the back to back games v OKC which will be here before we know it.

Nah it’s not really that. It’s that sinking feeling that Wemby may really be injury prone. Something that was said to us before and something that until this season, we have denied in our hearts and minds tbh.

It’s fun watching this group, but ultimately we only go as far as he takes us.

This game is exhibit A for why Sochan can still be a good situational player for us. He has shown a penchant for getting under the donkey’s skin and throwing him off his game.

I think this game is still winnable but the free throw merchants on the Lakers will make it difficult. I’m more just worried if Wemby isn’t good to go after this game.

 

[Mugen]

If this was a playoff game and they were holding him out then I'd be pissed.

But I'm not slitting my wrists for a December game tbh. I'll find a way to still sleep at night if Riley Minix doesn't get some extra $$$ via the NBA cup

 

[spurraider21]

hope the league investigates and fines the spurs tbh

 

[Correct Crusader]

this babying of china doll pussies is sickening -

its a fucking calf ache - koby the rapist would have played thru it and limped for two games until the pain went away -

if you cannot suck it up - spare us all the fucking "shaolin temple discipline and training" and the "dream hakeem workouts" and the "no one has trained like me"

im calling his ass out - fuck this...

Wemby is 7'5 and an Achilles tear would seriously put into doubt his young career

 

[spursistan]

Yep ready for double 40-piece from Doncic and Reaves, 80 plus points in the paint, and 40+ FTA for the Lakers.

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That and the fact that even with Kornet it’s a layup drill for opposing teams

 

[STAT88]

looking forward to seeing Vassell and Fox getting hunted and switched onto Doncic and Reaves.

 

[spursistan]

Also this means Wemby lost the power battle with the medical team. He clearly wanted to play in this one, but the answer was an empathic "NO".

Well..

Then… Refs

 

[ird80]

They beat us without LeBron n only got better since

 

[STAT88]

You’d think the Spurs would be able to take advantage of the Lakers poor defense right? Especially the backcourt of Doncic and Reaves and old ass LeBron. Surely Fox can use his speed to blow past Doncic/Reaves/Bron.

No excuses for Fox to not have high usage and 25+ and/or 8+ assists against this matchup.

This is where the fit gets awkward between Fox and Castle, if Fox initiates to take advantage of the matchup, Castle is spacing the floor at 24% from 3.

We can’t defend at all is a big problem. Luka and reaves will go HAM

 

[heyheymymy]

Probably a blessing in disguise to not bring back wemby in such a critical game where his rust is potentially costing us but this is getting ridiculous. The fans are ready to get everyone back full strength.

 

[spursparker9]

Not sure if we gonna beat Lakers even with a healthy Wemby.

Smart is on Lakers as well, he is the same type of crazy players (Dilon Brook, Westbrick, Beverly, Draymond) that might purposely injure other players due to their competitiveness.

Maybe it is best that Wemby don't come back against facing Smart.

 

[Spursgenius]

I don’t Wemby will be an all time great. Just too injury prone.
