I predict Lonnie is going to put up numbers, get a lot of exposure on National TV... and get a massive contract next year from some unsuspecting patsy. He's just not reliable in my opinion. Flashy, yes. But there's a reason the Spurs let him go without a fight.LawHall88 said:Scored 26 in 37 minutes last night.

Spurs beat the Pacers 137-134. No overtimes.
Primo led the team in assists with 7 in just 21 minutes. Jrich hit 6-8 threes for 27 points.

exactly. that's the competition. where's load management when you need it?
Last night was a blowout until we couldn't handle the press they started doing about halfway through the 4th. I was torn...do I want to see them win or do I want to see growth? Close losses would be nice I guess.
Now they're trying to beat the Sixers!
In all seriousness, the 76ers aren't a good team right now.

These young guys don't get the concept of tanking it seems.
The Spurs were 13.5 point underdogs and won. That is their largest upset win since March 8, 1997 against the Pacers (+14.5).

Spurs will probably waive Jordan Hall to make room to sign Charles Bassey to a two-way contract.

Somebody in the comments indicated that the Spurs had considered drafting him in 2021 so I guess they saw an opportunity to acquire him and took it.LawHall88 said:Insurance for when they trade Poetl?jteagle said:Spurs will probably waive Jordan Hall to make room to sign Charles Bassey to a two-way contract.

Pop has some competition. Jimbo is tanking to get Wembanyama, too.
How can we suck at sucking? Just lose...
If we don't start losing more quickly it's gonna be hard to keep up a terrible pace.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Just got to be in the bottom 3 to get the 14% chance of winning the lottery. The new "anti-tanking" odds dramatically reduced the benefit of finishing with the worst record.
If y'all have Bally Sports, turn this game on. These dudes are running and passing and completely exhausting the Wolves. Non-stop effort. Extra passes.

Sochan got way up there on that oop!
Casual 14-0 start to the third quarter.

Leading to a 36-14 Quarter. Guessing these young bucks ain't looking to tank
Minnesota has opted not to play any defense tonight, and the Spurs do move the ball well.
They are trying their best to choke the game away after being up by 30+
Great test for them right now to hang on after coughing up so many points.

For as much fun as the 3rd quarter was, the 4th was the total opposite. They are really good when they can run and gun, but man do they struggle slowing it down and trying to execute in the half court. It's a good win for the young squad and they have plenty they can learn and take away from it.
Through 4 games, the Spurs are on pace for a casual 62 win season.

Their shots stopped falling as well. Plenty of open looks, but going 2:30 minutes without a basket rattled them. If they had made just a few of the shots they missed during the worst of that run, the Wolves would have pulled the starters and the game would have ended as a 20 point win.
I hope they learned something from that 4th quarter. It was both really ugly, and a great chance to be reminded that other teams are probably more gifted and these dudes nude to bust their ass every minute.
This team will lose a lot of close games but they'll be fun to watch for 3 quarters every night.
