Game Thread Spurs (29-13) vs. Jazz (14-28) (Mon 1/19/26) [4:00PM CDT]

I'm taking the reins here @scott. Despite my 1-3 GT Starter Record, @LeBowen has inspired me to conquer my demons and start another game thread tbh. It's time to get back on the winning side of this thing.

Quick turnaround as we have an early 4 pm MLK Day tipoff tomorrow against a struggling Utah Jazz team that has lost 9 of its last 11 games. Lauri Markannen remains OUT for Utah with an undisclosed illness, while Devin Vassell remains OUT with an adductor strain. Isaiah Collier is Questionable for Utah as well. First game of a b2b for us as we travel to Houston on Tuesday night, so would be good to grab this game in case we drop that one.

We owe these guys some payback after they upset us in Utah 3 weeks ago in one of the worst losses in the season. No excuse not to win this one at home tbh, regardless of the fact that we're coming off an emotional win against the t-pups. Let's get it.

Holy hell that injured list. It SHOULD be an easy win.

Yea pretty sure the Jazz have entered the full-on tank phase of their season to ensure they keep their Top-10 protected draft pick tbh. Otherwise it goes to OKC. Let's do our part to help ensure that pick remains with the Mormons.

Denver also lost to the Hornets tonight so they fall back to the 3-Seed.

Jazz still have most of the players that shat on the Spurs in the last matchup tbh. If they're hitting their threes this could be a loss.

First of a back to back with a big game at Houston to follow. Hopefully with Lauri out this can be a game we put away without any of the stars needing to play more than 30

Lauri was still their best player that game.

Vaya con Dios @BatManu20... but you know the deal... if we drop this one... it's shaved head and 40 days in the desert for you

Would Mitch rest Wemby in this game to get him ready for the back-to-back @HOU? Probably not, but perhaps he should.

Well let's hope they remember that and don't act like such tryhards like last time. No stupid Clayton Jr. going 6 for 6 like last game.

 

[100%Duncan]

There’s no reason for a 22 year old to be resting aside from a clear injury tbh.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'll be at this game so Mitch better not pull any bullshit
