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

[spurs10]

Still having free-throw nightmares from the last time we played these guys. Will need some very aggressive play to match their gifted calls.

 

[Strategic]

The NBA narrative might be to push the Suns past the Thunder tonight so to give Bron an easier path to the tourney title. All the Spurs have to do is spoil the plan in tonight’s 2nd game. Spurs got this. Go Spurs Go!!!!

 

[Knoxxx]

I think our team has only benefitted from playing so well with Wemby out. Some of these guys also really needed the developmental minutes he’s freed up.

As far as all this whining, sounds to me cut and dry he’s NOT medically cleared yet.

RICH PAUL and his PUPPET MAX KELLRMAN drop Their SHIZZY RINGER PODCAST

- Rich Paul is a Spurs fan.
- Rich Paul wants Austin Reeves to accept backup-level compensation.
- Despite having two players combining for over 60 points per game, the team IS NOT A CHAMPIONCHIP TEAM.
- they cant win due to the 60 pt pair BEING SLOW UNATHLETIC WHITE GUYS.
- Rich Paul predicts the Spurs will win tonight.

If the phrase pretentious podcast set had a definition, a photo of this set would be right next to it.

Fox and Harper did not play in the last game vs the Lakers. Should be an interesting matchup. I do get a bit annoyed of having to play so small all the time. Kornet is playing right? Or is he too big lol.

I know it’s been asked before, so apologies. Can I watch the full replay on Prime tomorrow morning?

Gave up on the video because I wasn't sure what the point was...

But I was reminded how a certain poster liked to hate on Austin Reaves when a couple of us thought he'd be a good FA target the year we didn't even both to offer him a contract. In hindsight it worked out... but as it would turn out, Reaves is better than Devin Vassell, like some of us thought. I wonder if @MannyIG ever collected on his bet.

It’s super simple. Team LeBron and his agent used Bill Simmons’ stupid podcast network to attack the Lakers and the second-best player on the roster. So, whether people are worried about the Spurs and Wemby or not, they need to understand that the Lakers have a ton of problems heading into the game. Where exactly did you and I get off on the wrong foot? Seriously. Or am I miss reading it.If I am, apologies. Let's hope for a Spurs win.

Probably more mins to Sochan to guard Luka

I don't think we're at odds on anything?

this is such corporate bullshit.

"Uhh, yeah the board see progress towards the goal, and the next quarter results are on track but we can't say we're over the finish line just yet. Many people said we were going to reach our goal, and it is within our grasp"

I mean what in the actual fuck is this shit? As I said before, absolute contempt for their fan base

Castle on Reaves, Sochan on Luka might be needed for more than a handful of minutes tonight.

Key to the game: Sochan having his best game of the year on offense (which is a low bar for most players)

also, never trust anyone who says "very, very". I don't care if it's a sibling, a boss, a parent, a fuckbuddy.... you never trust anyone who says "very, very"

Don't worry, the talking points are being emailed to Jeff McDonald now, so he can talk down to folks on Twitter for asking basic questions

re: castle on reaves... i get it, but at the same time Castle was awesome defending Luka last time. think you just trust Fox on Reaves and the plan to neutralize is to attack them on the other end. Make Luka/Reaves defend Castle/Fox/Harper as they attack the rim relentlessly

this is not a game where heroics by Unc and Keldon are going to save us

Good call... the last game was such a clusterfuck of fouls I kind of forgot about that.

Any way to limit Sochan minutes is a winner in my book.

Edit: if Castle's stamina (and foul count) can withstand it... you might have to just match Castle minutes perfectly with Luka minutes. Don't even take chances trying to match him with anyone else while Castle sits.

Edit2: who am I kidding, Mitch will stick with his set rotations

Jeremy got benched against the Pelicans, I'm good on him seeing minutes against the Lakers tbh

Wemby is sitting out games to give Sochan a chance at redemption. That's the Power of Friendship.

Just wait until Wemby is back, he unlocks the beast in Sochan, and Wemby performs best with his SochRobin

I wouldn't be surprised if he was DNP-CD , but assuming he plays, I don't get why does he need to do anything on offense other than screen and facilitate, we don't even have shots available for vassell, keldon and champ, the 3 guard roation has a usage rate of 200%. They don't pass the ball much.
