Mamu should get a nice ovation from Spurs fans in the arena.

They also have former Spurs Yak and Temple as well. But let's make it 4-0!!

Don't know what to make of the Raptors so far, but I have the feeling this will a tough grind out game with both teams paying a b2b.

Let's see if I miraculously wake up in the middle of the night and watch the game live again

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

Wemby better play. Chance to go 4-0 and it’s too early for load management bs

 

[Paramore]

Harper will lead again......
Castle will play better
But
Barnes will wake up!!! hehehe

 

[LeBowen]

Raptors were also on a b2b in Dallas and that tip off was way later compared to ours.
No excuse for this not to be another win, maybe it's good that we almost fucked up the Nets game, a wake up call that was needed.

How much longer until Fox plays and Sochan plays and how long will Kornet be out? Harper was amazing last night! Wemby is averaging 33 points per game and 13 rebounds per game and 6 while shooting 56% from the field and 37% from 3. Amazing stuff.

Fox should be back against Phoenix ...

When is Sochan back? I don't mind try letting him start over Barnes tbh. Barnes has been garbage for 3 games

Roamed the raptors subreddit. Poeltl apparently is playing terrible(and possibly dealing with a bad back)

BBQ chicken might be on the menu for wemby tonight.

We're up in rankings.



#8
San Antonio Spurs
Last Week:15↑
Record: 3-0

OffRtg: 120.2 (4) DefRtg: 104.7 (2) NetRtg: +15.5 (1) Pace: 97.1 (28)

The Spurs were one of just two 3-0 teams in Week 1, thrashing the Mavs before holding on for clutch wins against New Orleans and Brooklyn. Victor Wembanyama is a new man, and he averaged 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and six blocks over the three wins.

Three takeaways

• Wembanyama’s offensive aggression has carried over from the preseason, with 40 (62%) of his 65 shots having come in the paint, up from a rate of just 37% last season. Through his first two seasons, Wembanyama had one game with at least seven dunks. He had seven in both of the Spurs’ first two games this year, adding three more on Sunday.
• Dylan Harper scored at least 13 points off the bench in all three games and came up huge in the win over the Nets on Sunday afternoon, registering 20 points, six rebounds, eight assists (with zero turnovers) and two steals. All eight of his buckets came in the paint, with three big drives down the stretch after the Spurs blew a 26-point, third-quarter lead. They closed with Harper and Keldon Johnson on the floor instead of starters Julian Champagnie and Harrison Barnes.
• Over the three games, the score in the restricted area was Spurs 154, opponents 72. Those opponents shot 12-for-26 (46%) at the rim when Wembanyama was there to protect it.

Coming up: Amazingly, the Spurs have never started a season with five straight wins. They’re 60% of the way there as their win over Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon began a stretch where they’re playing 10 of 13 games at home. Wembanyama’s recognition of double-teams could be critical against the Raptors’ aggressive defense on Monday night.

Did not expect that for kornet. I assumed last game was maintenance for a b2b

Damn that sucks about luke.

 

[spursparker9]

Any return timetable for Korndog?

Any return timetable for Korndog?

We haven’t had any real reports or updates on any of these guys for weeks.

A few days ago they showed Fox, Olynyk, Sochan running some 4 on 4 but it definitely didn’t look like full speed at all

As far as I can tell the team hasnt put out anything official about these guys other than publishing these injury reports ruling them out

 

[Mugen]

Bummer about Luke being out again.

 

[Ni-G]

Day to day probably, typical for this franchise.

Waaaaaaaay too early.. Both teams on a back to back 4th game of the year..

 

[Neuromancer]

Kornet injury is definitely a downer because it guarantees spurs are going to struggle in the non Wemby minutes. It'd be a lot less of a problem if Olynyk and Sochan weren't also injured. Bismack is gonna have his hands full
