Game Thread Spurs (4-0) vs Heat(3-1)(Thu 10/30/25) [7:30PM CDT]

[UbikRex]

He was pulled quick and Wemby played 40mins that is why. He was just in there long enough for wemby to get a couple minutes of a breather. Wemby with that 3rd foul hung in there and not getting that 4th foul really left the Spurs the opportunity to run wemby extended mins without biz hitting the floor longer.

Good stuff! Lets pummel the Suns to increase that offensive rating a bit ... funny that Wemby's pic is in there too

 

[NASpurs]

No longer in the quadrant of woe

No longer in the quadrant of woe

Now we in the quadrant of whoa!

One compliant the defense needs to clean itself up Wemby is covering up some issues I hope the coaches clean that up as the season goes on

The defense is starting to sometimes resume its bad habit of collapsing to the paint on every drive, leaving shooters wide open. It is the most frustrating thing to watch.

Sold it to whom?

People think that the schmuck who keeps promising updates is the owner.

I got my grades in on time for once

That is unknown. My working theory is that they weren’t even supposed to tell us it was sold. Someone dug up a post from 2016 by timvp that strongly suggested that they were selling.

No one here knows exactly when it was sold,nor to whom. I frankly don’t care. Once it was in new hands, it’s no longer the site I helped grow. I’m here now, for good.

I think we'll be seeing a lot of this over the next decade.

Gonna need to swap 1 & 2 in a year or two.

What's wild is Miami had been averaging 131.5 ppg in their first four games and the Spurs held them to 101.

They also let some guys walk to the rim because they were staring at the ball and not watching their man + ball. They gamble with bad position and not hedging people to their help side because wemby cleans up a lot of the mistakes but when they get into the bad habits and he sits for some minutes teams can go on runs. Just hoping the coaching staff cleans some of that stuff up they are a younger team but even some of the vets have done this were they just expect wemby to clean it all up

I just always found it interesting that LJ found time to do the game grades, but didn't interact in any other meaningful way. I mean, it's a site for basketball fans... why the CIA/KGB level secrecy/weirdness about everything?

Yeah what's up with that?

 

[Valparaiso]

The more I think about this victory over the Heat, the more impressed I am. Wemby was obviously gassed at certain points in the game and still managed to power through and be a force in the second half... If Kornet had been available to spell him and also to pair with him in defending Bam, the Spurs would've looked so much more definitive. Hats off to Biyombo for the effort, but he is the 4th string center and the end of the bench. When Kornet and Olynyk are back, he'll rarely see meaningful court time.

 

[Russ]

Unbelievable atmosphere the last few minutes of the game last night.

Like the old days -- almost brought chills, but nostalgic ones (a bit of an emotional contradiction).

Never thought that old barn would come to life again.

wow didn't know Heat has such impressive off,def,net rating

Who is the owner?

I posted a link to a ST thread of 2016 I think in the refugee thread, have a look. The dude who seems running the site now is DC23, when ST (or better if) come back live check also the thread about forum update but also the 2016 thread that has been bumped. Some conspiracy theories state that timvp game grades are IA generated... I don't know but this is where we are

The consensus working theory is that those grades were AI generated by the new ownership, and that was agreed upon as part of the sale. Some were even calling him timGPT when the grades were released.

I gotta give our guy Jacob Tobey some credit for cutting the shit with the fake pouty voice after the other team scores. Haven’t heard it in a while now. He’s getting closer to being normal. Just needs to ditch the catch phrases.
