Game Thread Spurs (26-11) @ Celtics (23-13) (Sat 1/10/26) [7PM CST]

No, it's not a good time to bump it because your take is just retarded. Who exactly would you have put on Brown?

You've been at this since Castle's first game in the league, constantly harping on how he's a shit defender, which is a retarded take noone should even engage.

he's a good PG defender, a solid SG defender and a situational SF defender. He should be guarding the fastest guys of the opposing team, not the long shooters. For the sf you put a sf to guard him, especially since putting castle on them, means the sf is now running around screens to catch the derrick whites of the league. Freaggin stupid

They have to get worried getting sonned by Ant tomorrow. Especially after T-wolves loss today

Ant's a really good defender but he's not DWhite level

 

[frenchfred]

Ainge ain’t dumb. He “rested” Markannen this game knowing full well it’s crucial the Hornets jump ahead of the Jazz. The same way he rested Markannen against the Clippers a week ago to jump ahead of the Jazz

Jazz need to get to 6th worst record to really secure that top 8 protected pick.

we want that otherwise the pick goes to OKC.

Castle is absolutely killing us out there. Kudos to Mitch for benching him.

Close some tabs, gotdamn

Plus using Edge browser. I don't know man.

This team as constructed is still lacking a lot of holes if Barnes doesnt get back to form or if we dont trade for shooting and/or size

Brown is 1 inch taller than Castle, if that.
Why would he be guarding the fastest players when we have Fox?

We did a great job on Brown, he was inefficent and had 5 turnovers.

Castle's defense has been good, it's that his offense is garbage.
Can't expect to hold all-NBA players to single digits. If you hold them to less than their average ppg, it's good enough.

 

[Strategic]

Castle with 9 points, 2 rebounds and zero fouls. Complete no show. Hope somebody can get his head and reprogram him.

Mitch deserves a lot of credit calling that timeout and making our latte extra French. Mazzula puts in Quesadilla…game over.

Wemby deserves a lot of credit for ballin out with the middy. Loving it the last few games. He’s being much more decisive in his actions, whether it’s a drive step to the key with two feet planted, or a quick shot before the triple team shows up. Let’s get LMA in here stat to take it to the moon.

KJ…we are not worthy. Thank you, again.

 

[NASpurs]

TIL that Luka Garza and Hugo Gonzalez are two different dudes.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Close some tabs, gotdamn

Man I bought 32GB of RAM so I could have five windows with 17 tabs open in each. OK not really, I bought 32GB of RAM because the The Last of Us PC port was trash at launch and would overrun my 16GB even when I had nothing else open.

I wish we could get Okongwu and Kennard from the Hawks sending them back their 26 swap and 27 pick plus filler

 

[LeBowen]

Tomorrow should be a DJG game, tbh.

I need a replay of Wemby sonning Brown on that drive

Castle got scored on virtually every time he was on brown outside the open court, when he in fact, should attack him. We won the game by putting taller guys on him. Once we moved steph away from brown, he scored only a layup the rest of the game. Granted, a lot of it is coincidence, but a lot of it is having to adjust for the different length. Castle should be guarding the fastest player, because fox.... can't. Yes i know that fox is very fast, but he's not fast on D, not at all.

 

[CGD]

TIL I learned that Luka Garza and Hugo Gonzalez are two different dudes.

I had no idea Luka had 3pt range. He’s gonna make a few millions by adding that skill.

 

[Paramore]

hope they still have energy tomorrow

 

[Paramore]

we need Jones-Garcia to bring the energy tomorrow

 

[Robz4000]

Remember this is the Spurs, hook him up with a huge overpay

Give my man the max tbh imo fwiw.

 

[gilmor2002]

Who's beating the victory drum tonight if this was in SA?

Champ for sure

 

[Correct Crusader]

That was against the 2nd seed in the east btw.
