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

[NotoriousHOP]

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

Rumor has it that Duncan murdered Jefferson and he was replaced by a body double.

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

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

It’s cathartic and helping me back off the ledge a little

 

[100%Duncan]

Let’s hope the zionist closes houston out. Unfortunate that Denver won, celtics will be extra hungry

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Relieved we won, but man, this outside shooting will be the end of us all. We need to figure something out.

We’re not world beaters but no way we are this bad from 3. Fox, Barnes it’s all mental. Plus Dev being out

Rockets are 7-34 from 3 tonight against Portland… maybe the NBA season is just long and difficult

 

[benefactor]

It's a great win. Now take off the bubble wrap.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Makes me think of the Say Goodnight Fight that was a youtube meme in like 2008. Damn I wish I would have saved it.

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

All our teams struggle against length & shooting. Portland Jazz & others have that. If teams are on, you lose.

 

[Mugen]

Rotations have been shit tbh. Obviously a big chunk of that has been literally everybody going cold from 3 for the last few weeks.

But not sure why we're still giving Bryant those token minutes. We have great depth and we're a Top 2 seed in the West. I also think the kid would benefit more being in Austin for a month or so.

 

[ChrisC21209]

Yeah this team is in no way THAT bad from 3. At some point they’ll get hot again and go on a tear from 3. The ups and downs of the season fellas.

 

[spurraider21]

one more particularly brutal stretch of schedule coming up, and then for the rest of the year it is pretty palatable

at boston and at minnesota back to back
at okc
vs milwaukee (have been solid since giannis has been back)
vs minnesota
then back to back against utah and at houston

if we are still 2nd in the west after this 7 game stretch, have to feel good about holding it

He’s gotta go to Austin for sure, it’ll do him some good. Sochan has to get his minutes now after these last 2 games.

Yeah, but our team isn’t alone in that. The lousier teams are whooping up on all the good teams. I still can’t stand the losses but it helps to know their beating other good teams

 

[100%Duncan]

Borat going in on houston

 

[spurraider21]

is carter bryant blowing a dunk the new champagnie stepping out of bounds in the corner?

 

[100%Duncan]

For about until 5 mins til this game is over

 

[siraulo22]

[LakerHater]

I hate his play. So gross to watch.

 

[ChrisC21209]

Avdija dropping 41 on Houston makes me feel slightly better now about that loss to the Guests the other night…
