Game Thread Spurs (27-11) @ Timberwolves (25-14) (Sun 1/11/26) [6PM CST]

I'm on a win streak so let's ride the hot hand.

This is not a political comment and let's not get into the politics of things... but we do have to acknowledge that there is some unrest in Minneapolis right now and I do wonder if this game might have a risk of postponement.

Currently, MIN is favored by 2.5

Minny’s on a back to back too so I actually like our chances

what a crybaby. You’ve won a title, act like you’ve been there before, guy.

I thought he had more class than that, tbh.

All good, I changed the pinned topic so I wasn't trying to dog you or anything - mostly letting you know this is the wrong topic

Last time I have seen I felt MIN are bad matchup for us.

We are missing a couple of guys though. I will watch closely tomorrow game.

Hopefully the Spurs learn how to shoot a 3pt shot between the Celtics and this game

Dude is a smart guy. Taught engineering at MIT as visiting professor. Went to Cal. But he is off base here

 

[barakz21]

If they shoot the way they did for the last few games, they’ll probably get murked by Minny tomorrow. I wonder what the shooting coach is doing, seeing as there’s barely any improvements if there was any. I remember Chip helping OKC’s shooting greatly that season he went over there. Hopefully our shooting coach steps up his game.

This is rich coming from a Bawstin Keltic. That team has been getting the whistle since Jimi Hendrix was still alive making great music.

Hopefully Wemby in the SL this evening playing 31+ mins.

Fuck this clown. Blaming the refs for your horrid efficiency and laughable TOs is weak shit.

 

[Paramore]

Gooooooooooooooo Spurs go!

I'm not optimistic for this one. Wolves are tricky matchup and with our diabolical shooting of late, it's hard to see a path to a win without an outlier performance (Fox going off, Wemby 30+ minutes etc..)..

Their bench last night was Hyland, Clark, Naz, Ingles.
We're a way deeper team and if Gobert gets into foul trouble the paint is wide open, our shooting struggles won't be as much of an issue.

On the other hand, Barnes probably gets killed by Randle/Naz.

In fairness we had a way deeper bench than Memphis too but with putrid outside shooting we make many of these games far harder than they need to be.

Let’s see though, slump is bound to end soon.

 

[XenoThirteen]

I'm preparing myself for Ant and Randle shoot to lights out and for another 17% 3pt performance from our boys.

Still though, if Wemby plays, maybe Gobert gets into trouble and it would be enough of a difference?

 

[BatManu20]

We've lost 4 in a row to these guys, and 8 of our last 10 going back to 2023. They seem to have our number lately as they present matchup issues for us with their size, length, and physicality on the interior with Randle and Gobert, as well as Ant-man and DiVincenzo in the backcourt. Not expecting a W tonight after our guys logged heavy minutes in last night's game tbh, though I'd love to be wrong obv.

I could be mistaken, but in a lot of those losses we got killed by Naz spreading the floor off the bench and killing us from 3pt.
He played 28 minutes last night, I'd just match Wemby's minutes with his, Kornet can match up with Gobert.
In previous years we didn't have a servicable backup and Wemby had to contain Gobert. I think Kornet can deal with him now.
