Game Thread Spurs (23-7) vs Jazz (10-19) (Sat 12/27/25) [7:00 PM CDT]

[BatManu20]

We're back boys. Spurs looking to make it 9 in a row as we host a 10-19 Utah Jazz team that have lost 6 of their last 8 by an average of 18 ppg.

Jazz will be on the second leg of a b2b as they play a very good 24-6 Pistons team tonight in Utah.

Selfishly, I need this W to boost my Game Thread starter record and get back above .500. Hopefully we don't have a hangover from the OKC series and this doesn't turn into a trap game tbh.

Let's get it.

@scott I'm taking the lead on this one. I'll start the Pacers game thread too if we take this one tomorrow night.

You're risking a permanent game thread ban, tbh, but I like the boldness

Everyone keeps forgetting to add the GT widget to the opening post, fixed it.

I did tbh? But it kept glitching while I was doing it so idk. Still said I did it on my computer though. Thanks regardless.

I largely hate BR's rankings but sharing anyways.

I just do it with

GAMETHREAD]2025-12-27[/GAMETHREAD

Obviously open and close the brackets at the beginning and the end of the tag.
Gamethread tag and the corresponding game date.

Bad team, we should win by 20+, but don't get complacent. Show up, as Sean Elliott says.

Go, Spurs, Go!

Couple throwback games of Timmy giving Karl Malone/Utah work as a palate cleanser.

We also get to watch Spurs' trade-rumor legend Lauri Markkanen tomorrow night. Markkenen's averaging: 28 pts, 7 rbs, 2 asts, & 1 stl on 47% FG% and 35% 3PT% on 8 attempts per this season on 35 mpg.

Prob my fault I never made a post on it after it was built cuz I was tweaking around with it. Will do after the holidays.

Should be a gimmie this one, just wondering at what point does Wemby come back in the starting lineup. Even if it works ya can’t have your #1 guy off the bench long term

His last two games were 23 and 25 minutes. As a rookie, he started, and averaged a shade under 30, so I would guess if 30 minutes are OKd by the medical staff, he could start.

Yea I imagine Wemby's ready to be back in the starting lineup as well. While he's proven himself to be selfless, you also know he's chomping at the bit to be back in there with the starting unit playing 30+ MPG. I think it'll happen within the next couple weeks tbh.

Duncan and Robinson, man that was some defense.

Ostertag was Timmy’s preferred plaything

Rest game. Nothing to see here.

I want the Jazz to win just to keep you nerds humble tbh.
