Spurs on pace to go 82-0

Cul_what | Lakers

84 | 9 days ago

Yea lock in Mathurin Pacers gonna need this jump from you fr and also Wemby/Castle/Harper is a craaaaaazy young core wtf

mangopie222

25 | 9 days ago

Vassell and Sochan are there too. Crazy

Due-Independence4453

10 | 9 days ago

I’m not too high on Vassell but Sochan is underrated.

N3VVZN4K3 | Spurs

17 | 9 days ago

I’m not too high on Vassell

Neither are we

BUTTFUCKER__3000 | Spurs

4 | 9 days ago

If he can stay healthy and consistent for a whole season, my faith would be restored. But for now, I’m higher on Keldon than Devin, which is depressing.

swanpenguin | Spurs

ROTY 3peat incoming 👀

heroluccii | Spurs

38 | 9 days ago

I legit think if Harper started it’d be a good race between him and Flagg despite Flagg being the favorite. Harper’s a little slept on I’ve noticed. Unfortunately I think he’s riding the bench all season

Lionheart0021 | Spurs

7 | 9 days ago

I prefer him to come off the bench this year.

Harper-Kornet pickNroll and Castle-Wemby pickNpop just fits better.

The Castle-Kornet partnership is still rough. Dylan would still be able to play with Victor when we go double bigs.

siphillis | Spurs

3 | 9 days ago

He can still do some serious damage from the bench, and Flagg could struggle if teams key in on him

Daconvix | Knicks

Pacers’ center rotation looks rough

cookomputer | Spurs

21 | 9 days ago

Did they replace Myles Turner with anyone?

Paula-Abdul-Jabbar | Pacers

35 | 9 days ago

Jay Huff, but post Achilles Isaiah Jackson is our starter

cookomputer | Spurs

23 | 9 days ago

Ok that rotation is gonna be rough

MattyIce260 | Pacers

10 | 9 days ago

We may be seeing a lot of Obi playing the small ball 5, especially late in games

siphillis | Spurs

2 | 9 days ago

Dude had four fouls before scoring a point

thereticent | Pacers

6 | 9 days ago

Jay Huff lol

theseus1234 | Trail Blazers

9 | 9 days ago

Pacers signed like 8 guards this offseason for some reason

Reaper_360

2 | 9 days ago

They signed 3 and 2 of them were waived because of injuries

MindofShadow | Pacers

1 | 9 days ago

Hali is out and Nembhard has been slightly injury prone.

deets23_ | Celtics

I’m so sad Luke Kornet had to leave us, but I’m glad he went to the Spurs 🫶🏼

lawdoggingit | Spurs

Fair trade for D White

filmscores | Spurs

20 | 9 days ago

Really feels like good karma coming back. We gave up DWhite for nothin

lawdoggingit | Spurs

18 | 9 days ago

Tbf people thought the Celtics overpaid with a 1st until they realized what we all knew which was Derrick is a bald-headed badass whom the stat sheet doesn’t fully represent

HeisenSpurs | Spurs

9 | 9 days ago

At that point he was a fro-headed badass lol, but yes yes.

Nkosi868 | Spurs

2 | 9 days ago

We knew better though. Chuck’s been telling us. 👀

BUTTFUCKER__3000 | Spurs

3 | 9 days ago

I said it in the game thread, but I do think Kornhub was a steal. There was initial thought from mouth breathers here that he was overpaid, but fuck that. After dealing with Collins and Bassey for years, Kornet is a godsend

fireemblem4812 | Spurs

46 | 9 days ago

I would like to thank the rest of the league for allowing us to grab Luke Kornet for an absolute steal of 10 million a year for 4 years.

You thought we were grabbing him as a backup for Wemby but that was only part of the plan, the other plan is the double big French Vanilla lineup where we play Wemby AND Kornet at the same time.

It’s not like the Spurs ever won a championship before with a double-big lineup or anything, imagine if there was some kind of history there the Spurs could draw on.

zuramalf | Spurs

Dylan is gonna be REALLY good man

Kertia

The spurs are blessed.

Renegadeforever2024 | Raptors

Wemby is coming

DifferentRun8534

17 | 9 days ago

Buddy, don’t look now, but I think he might be here…

SquandasNutCheese | Spurs

16 | 9 days ago

82-0 confirmed, I will not believe anything else

Acrobatic-Canary-571

14 | 9 days ago

Harper is so good

Ok_Possible_5702

14 | 9 days ago

Am I reading the box score correctly that the Pacers had 3 different pure centers playing minutes and they scored a grand total of ZERO points?

I’m assuming the other minutes at the 5 went to Toppin?

Reaper_360

3 | 9 days ago

4 actually. IJax and Huff were straight up horrendous tonight. Bradley and Wiseman weren’t good either but for some reason every pacers guard seems to give Wiseman the worst possible lobs. Like they throw passes way over his head while the paint is fully clogged up.

iro3 | Spurs

12 | 9 days ago

i miss sochan and fox :(

sp000ners | Spurs

7 | 9 days ago

soon brother soon

raiderrocker18 | Spurs

5 | 9 days ago

I miss Fox too

Licoi | Warriors

8 | 9 days ago

I feel like spurs could low key sneak into the west playoffs maybe I’m wrong but they look good

Uncle_Freddy | SAS

20 | 9 days ago

People are projecting them somewhere between the 5-9 seed, I’m not totally sure that qualifies as a sneak. I’m definitely encouraged by how cohesive the roster looks so far though, it’s a very noticeable difference from previous years and we don’t even have Fox playing yet

Resident_Durian_478 | Spurs

11 | 9 days ago

Play in minimum, definitely playoff bound without injuries

Frigorific | Spurs

11 | 9 days ago

I dont know of I am high on hopium, but I think top 6 in the west is definitely achievable for this team.

raul_p | Rockets

8 | 9 days ago

The West is gonna be a bloodbath.

Frigorific | Spurs

4 | 9 days ago

Absolutely.

I still think the spurs have a really high ceiling this year.

Ok_Possible_5702

7 | 9 days ago

Why exactly low-key? I think landing a play-in spot is more or less the average expectation for this team. And from there, it’s just one or two wins to make the playoffs.

ThatBull_cj | 76ers Bandwagon

3 | 9 days ago

They have 10 or 11 real rotation players and Wemby should be a top 10 player easy and probably higher as long as he plays. Fox should still be at least sub-all star level hopefully. They could easily be the surprise top 6 team we see every year

wpmason

Fucking hell … how much grace do they get?

When does having all this talent actually carry some real expectations?

sp000ners | Spurs

9 | 9 days ago

Dylan Harper is absolutely legit lol crazy stuff from him through 2 games

heat_fan_ | Raptors

8 | 9 days ago

Spurs gonna be scary

PestyAssassin33WU93 | CHA

6 | 9 days ago

we might actually have a better front court than the pacers

cowboyjon13

4 | 9 days ago

But Kel’el ware!

WeirdWorld42 | Clippers

3 | 9 days ago

Can anyone even stop this Juggernaut of a Spurs team? They have the best chance at going 82-0…

fighting-prawn

3 | 9 days ago

How is Wemby typically getting his turnovers? Trying moves or high usage or loose handle or something?

troyofyort | Spurs

16 | 9 days ago

Im not too sure on actual numbers but the ones i notice the most are fancy passes that he and teammates need to get more on page about.

BUTTFUCKER__3000 | Spurs

3 | 9 days ago

I would say fancy passes and being double/triple teamed when he’s trying to post up. He needs to pass out of those faster I think, and his teammates need to hit those open shots

greatGoD67 | Spurs

10 | 9 days ago

He is trying to absorb Pete Marovich next.

NoShape0 | Spurs

10 | 9 days ago

His height and reach means his dribble is very high and away from his body. So whenever he dribbles into traffic the ball is more easily stolen. One on one he’s decent.

And sometimes he makes a desperate pass that gets picked.

rds060184 | Spurs

2 | 9 days ago

82-0

saintsflow9 | Spurs

I know this is preseason but im scared to get too confident
