Game Thread Spurs (25-11) vs Lakers (23-11) (Wed 01/07/26) [8:30PM CST] on ESPN

[tacosrgood]

He does but Laker teamates also defer to him too much.
He's winded. Sereral times wanted to take a break off ball and a lot of the other Lakers simply will not create.

It's funny that Dallas finals team was constructed much better for Luka with lob threats. This laker team has no athleticism and 3 point shooting

 

[Raven_]

They definitely aren’t a title contender. Won’t be surprised if they lose in the 1st round again. They actually need another star to hide Luka’s weaknesses.

what weakness, luka is by far their best defender

 

[SpursBrazil]

KJ with a lot energy and playing really well

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

It’s encouraging so far to see a few of our slumpers picking it up, but Harper is still funking big time. I’m probably rooting for him the hardest to break out of it and get back to what he was doing

 

[Kick-Stand]

Am I crazy thinking a team is not going to win the NBA championship with Luka? He’s incredibly skilled but my God he takes a lot of bad shots.

Probably would have in Dallas with that cast Nico put around him. Gonna be hard for the Lakers to recreate that.

 

[Robz4000]

KJ is the shit, such a perfect bench player! The three headed guard monster Fox, Castle, and Harper should be have turned into a three headed dildo the Lakers have used to massage their prostates till their balls are dry all damn night

Uhhh...

 

[Rafa]

I’m getting worried about Harper’s mental fortitude. He looks completely dejected everytime he makes mistakes or things don’t go his way, zero confidence in himself in his eyes. And when he plays well he rarely looks excited about it either.

He may have the skills to be high level but I’m not I’m sure about dat dawg. Needs to spend more time hanging out with Keldon.

 

[Strategic]

You actually forget that this is the 2nd and 3rd seeded teams in the west with the way they’ve been playing lately

West kinda wide open at this point, aside for the one seed.

 

[timtonymanu]

The funny thing is Sean will say “Mr. 100%” when Barnes hits a 3 pointer again even though he’s like 2-389 from there lately

 

[CrustyCoastBendFan]

4 Down Keldon.

Learned from the Man Himself

Well, I’m assuming gleefully this is LeBron James final season with the Lakers. Hopefully for the sake of basketball he’s done.

 

[LeBowen]

Playing Kleber is their equivalent of playing Biyombo.

each shot is a new opportunity to be great

 

[heyheymymy]

lol I await the cyborg Korn meme surely to come

 

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Just tuned in, who hit Korn in the eye

 

[benefactor]

KJ is the shit, such a perfect bench player! The three headed guard monster Fox, Castle, and Harper should be have turned into a three headed dildo the Lakers have used to massage their prostates till their balls are dry all damn night

tbh

 

[Strategic]

Bourbon, hot peppers, crackers and watching the Spurs clown the Lakers. Hell yeah!!!

 

[ace3g]

Kornet...

 

[Correct Crusader]

Ref killing momentum again lmao. Castle did jack shit

 

[Raven_]

when will the castle can defend big guys fairytale stop?

 

[Robz4000]

Playing Kleber is their equivalent of playing Biyombo.

Kleber's abused the Spurs in the past so I'm just waiting for that to rear its ugly head tbh.

 

[spursistan]

Keldon trade value is probably highest in 3 years..Incredible season..

 

[Robz4000]

Yep, here come the refs.

[Hyrup]
