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

I was wondering who is playing well for them. Completely forgot they got Norman Powell. Hopefully the Spurs can raise it up another notch, play a clean game and beat them. Would be huge for the young guys to get this win IMO.



Was Kessler still on the board when the Spurs drafted Malaki? Also, is Wiseman a free agent? I thought I saw him on a team in the preseason. Did he get cut?

He has just been cut by Indiana

Miami owns the Spurs these days tbh. 9 out of the last 10 is nasty work.

Wemby basically has to stay out of foul trouble or we're fucked. They're going to try to get him in foul trouble early.

Bam vs Barnes is a tough matchup for us. Should be a great test and probably a good game however it ends. After seeing this historic start to the season by Wemby, I see him making a statement against Ware. Turnovers could be the killer for our young Spurs. I still think the Spurs will rise to the occasion and the home crowd will help us get a win.

Knowing Wemby, he will have watched a lot of film on what went wrong in the previous encounters and he will be prepared. I like our chances when Wemby is on the court. The real challenge will be in the 10-12 minutes when Wemby will be resting. On offense, I hope Mitch puts in Dylan and lets him run the show in those minutes. The kid has a knack of getting the right thing done and keeping the flow smooth. Defense during the non-Wemby minutes will be the real challenge. Difficult to expect Biyombo to raise his game at this stage.. he is what he is .. a washed up veteran. But last season he was not entirely useless and thats why a little bit more of application should help us at least keep it close to even in those minutes. The Heat aren't loaded with competent wings as the Raptors were or with shifty guards. Their calling card is execution and thats where an alert veteran can still contribute. Or so I hope.

Gotta go small when Wemby is off the floor. Biyombo doesn’t do anything, so just play Carter Bryant or Barnes at C.

This will be difficult to win without Kornet. I assume Wemby will play a lot of minutes.

Gonna need big games from our guards.

Those idiots really posted preseason statlines? Wemby didn't play in both Heat games last season.

I was thinking we gonna need big games from our shooters.

Right. And that first game I would hardly call out playing Victor

 

[Manu20]

Kornet not playing is a big blow. I would rather see a small lineup with Carter Bryant as center than Biyombo logging 15+ minutes.

Sounds like Powell won't be playing, so that helps
