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

[Kick-Stand]

Even ESPN stuck around for it.

Dammit hate watching national broadcasts involving the Lakers so had it on Sean and Jacob.

We go from not being able to play Wemby 30 extra seconds in a close and winnable game, to giving him 26 minutes the next night in a game where he probably could’ve sat the whole 4th with no issue. Make it make sense.

Whatever. A win is a win!

Still weird to see a Spurs team talk shit.

someday the league will wise up and mic him up and it will be instant tv

 

[ginobilized]

I'd hate to see Champ suspended, but, it's nice to see that attitude and support

 

[benefactor]

take it easy, there are no tough guys in soccer or the NBA
This whole thing is a sissy fight

Well not anymore. There were plenty of them in the 90s

The Spurs defended their place at #2 tonight. Would've folded this game last season for sure. Great fucking bounceback win against the Fakers of all teams.

Also isn't this the first time Wemby has won against Luka or something like that?

@benefactor @ShoppingCartFestival for real here is the place in LA lol. Regular burrito is 2.5 lbs. It's fucking amazing though.

Yeah real Gritty Stuff

I didn't see the whole game but I did see Jeremy take shots without hesitation. Am I crazy or did he account for half of the Spurs' made threes?

Watching how the other contending teams are struggling against the same teams our guys is has me thinking this is just one of those weird seasons where you can’t count any team out. Some years you’ve got 5 or 6 teams you can sleepwalk to a 20 point win. The bad teams have so many hungry young guys that maybe you just can’t write em off, even if you’re a top 5 team

Nice push, Champ but this is still the Gold Standard for Spurs altercations:

 

[Mugen]

I’ll fucking take it but Jesus Christ this team is ass from 3. Gonna kill them if they don’t turn it around soon.

Nah that would be Alvin Robertson going after Walter Berry with a butter knife

Nailed it. Rockets are down @ POR right now, for example.

awww, baby draymond appearance

Also, a pre-bitch made Kawhi appearance too.

 

[spursistan]

I’m not really worried about Fox regaining his touch. Castles a stud he’ll be fine, but Harper is a little concerning no? Rookie wall or teams shutting off the paint penetration and daring him to beat them from deep? Maybe a tad of both.

Hope @Robz4000 is wrong about a potential lack of motor when met with adversity. For example, Castle has no shortage of confidence; even on his off nights, he keeps going at it to try to make something happen. That remains to be seen for Harper who is definitely going through a rough patch..

My biggest observation from this game was that there are some serious tortas in the jackal section. Chuck was right
