Yeah, we now need at least a split from from Lakers/Houston so the team doesn't lose confidence and go on a tailspin. Staying in Top 6 seed territory all season-long should be the goal. I remember how frustrating last season to get over the .500 ball hump.

Yes. The regular season is basically the “playoffs” for this team.

We should stop acting/thinking like the Spurs of old a la saving them for May/June run. This team needs all the reps it can get.

Lakers beat a Portland team (which looked solid so far) without playing Luka or Reeves.

Maybe Chauncey Billups got to use his one phone call

lol Blizzardwizard bamboozled the cliff jumpers. Yeah maybe some blue font is in order next time, though

lol even had me for a half second there

@ShamsCharania BREAKING: De'Aaron Fox's return to action for the San Antonio Spurs has been delayed indefinitely while he seeks a second opinion about a hamstring tendinopathy diagnosis on the advice of a family advisor.

**JOKE POST ADDENDUM**

Good evening, my fellow Baseline Bums users.

Today Blizzardwizard was informed that baselinebums.com is drawing the line on standards and practices as it relates to jokes on Baseline Bums and Blizzardwizard.

In the future they need to be careful what they do and what they don't do. Blizzardwizard gets in trouble every time they do something gratuitously.

Therefore the following are the standards and practices that Blizzardwizard promises to adhere to:

"On Baseline Bums game threads, I will only use the words: Go, Spurs and Go.

I will however never use the words: Indefinitely, Tendinopathy, Second Opinion, Family Advisor or any other Kawhi Leonard or Uncle Dennis-related terms.

Now is it pertains to other threads, I promise there will be less fake tweets.

I will make less references to that enormous bitch move in 2018.

And on a final note - even though many of you believe this whole thing is overblown - I am not, I repeat, I am not saying people should stop whining about a fucking joke for no reason.

As a matter of fact, I am only implying it."

Just saw the edit

maybe they are tanking for BYU kid. This doesnt seem like an organization keen on winning this year

Should go for Boozer tbh. He'd fit the gaping hole at PF perfectly.

watched him tonight against Texas. Hot garbage. Sux bad. Plays no defense. pass. 3-16 shooting. Low effort player. Cant jump that high either. Poor athlete. Give me Dyb

it was one game tbh. That said, even with our glut of guards, the Peterson kid from Kansas would be pretty hard to pass up as well.

Prayingdog.jpg the Hawks net us a top 3 pick.

 

[Robz4000]

If the Spurs get Sochan, Olynyk, and Waters back tomorrow they'll have a legit shot to win imo, provided Wemby decides to get back to playing MVP-level basketball.

[siraulo22]

would be awesome to get this W

but i expect this to be a loss, Luka going off, with Hachimura, Knecht, Laravia shooting lights out

 

[Robz4000]

Just need to let Doncic and Reaves combine for 70 and hold the rest of the team to 30 imo.

 

[Ice009]

I'm going to try and be positive. Spurs will make adjustments and find a way to win the game.

I wonder if Mavs fans are still pissed off about the trade as Luka being in great shape this season seems to be paying off so far. Would Mavs fans rather have this Luka and no Cooper? Cooper's been up and down, but he's showing some good things out there.

If AD was healthy you could spin this into a net positive for the Mavs, but as its going currently I think Mavs fans miss Luka more

 

[spursparker9]

We'll be 5-3 by Sunday

falling back to the mean. competing for play-in spots (7 to 10 seed)

 

[RC_Drunkford]

Luka will drop 40. Wemby and Castle will be in foul trouble. Lakers will get 40 freethrows. Sochan, Olynyk and Waters probably remain out. Lakers by 20+

 

[spursparker9]

Luka probably dropping 50 pts triple double

 

[Spurs Homer]

Spurs get back on track...wemby refocuses and dominates...

that shams/fox thing briefly got me then i remembered we have the same spurstalk posters here...good one!

 

[Neuromancer]

Luka skullfucks the Spurs every time we play him. 50 point triple double incoming

 

[sfernald]

Omg the pessimism on this site is unbelievable. Spurs are apparently the worst team starting 5-1 of all time. Where is the faith and love of the team you believe in and watch every day?

That's not who we are.

 

[BacktoBasics]

this should really be some ban-worthy shit. posting fake Shams posts about Fox injury. I mean come the fuck on. At least one warning of a ban, this is some real horseshit

He got me . I thought it was real. But I’m not salty about it.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

That's not who we are.

HAHAHA exactly.
