That's so bad. You can't call that on Fox, Miller put his foot 3ft forward

Fox was turning and facing the other way

THe shooter needs room to land, but the defender should be entitled to the space they were in before the shot. Fox didn't move towards Miller, it shouldn't be considered a closeout. If it is a foul, it is on Miller for moving forward and making contact with Fox. But the refs are ****ing awful.

Holy ****, they got it right.

Julian has even said the shooters do that **** on purpose.

The refs called a bad one on Castle earlier in the game. One of many they got wrong.

Bad foul by Barnes that basically put the game away. Harper was playing good and Mitch didn't put him back in the game when needed.

Could Mitch have challenged that Miller was backcourt when he passed it? That wasn't even close but is it challengable.

Until that foul, Barnes was playing great. He was hustling for loose balls, was 3-5 from three and he was playing physical defense. Spurs were very positive in his minutes. I can't believe he made that foul.

Don't think so b/c there was no call and the play went on.

He could have challenged the stupid one they called on Castle in the 1st half but it seems like they want to save challenges for big momentum plays or things like that Fox foul that shouldn't have been called.

Yea and that's probably the right decision.

The one on Castle was bad. When it happened I was really confused because nobody ever touched it backcourt and the announcers were speaking like it was obvious. I think their comment was "He should know better" about Barnes passing it to Castle.

The ref that called it was way back in the back court and not close to the mid court line and had absolutely no vision of where the ball was when Castle touched it. He should have relied on the other two that could actually see the ball.

Lots of really, really bad calls today, as always.

  • Olynyk+2nds (26 and 27) for Portis
  • Sochan+Biyumbo+Waters (or McLaughlin) + 2nds (26 and 28) for ONeale + Richards


Suns get out of the luxury tax and get Sochan and 2 seconds. Spurs stay 2M out of the luxury tax and still have room under the tax to sign a buyout candidate with the extra roster spot.

C: Wemby, Kornet, Richards
PF: ONeale, Portis, Barnes
SF: Vassell, Keldon, NBA Dunk Champion Carter Bryant
SG: Castle, Julian, [open spot]
PG: Fox, Harper, McLovin


Next year's impact: With the ~14th pick added, Spurs next year have 183M under contract with 3 open spots. Tax threshold is expected to be 202M. Add a 2nd rounder (Milan Momcilovic, please) for 2M then two free agent spots and 17M to fill it with the MLE and BAE at our disposal.

NBA is making the Spurs fly in tomorrow morning and still play at 6pm.

Also, how ridiculous is it that the NBA scheduled a back to back where the Spurs had to fly across the country and play a game at 3pm the next day?

Pop would absolutely sit everyone and start Harrison Ingram and Riley Minnix or whoever is on the other two-way - if it was an Away game. That's when he got fined 250k - sent Timmy/Manu/Tony home before the game At Miami.

But you know Victor doesn't want to miss a game so he can still get DPOY.

We are going to get the #1 pick in 2031. The Kings are really the worst run organization in the NBA, which says a lot because the Pelicans exist.

And for the Cavs:

To get Hunter:

Caris LaVert
Georges Niang
3 seconds
2 1st round swaps

then traded him away with two more 2nds for

Dennis Schroeder
Keon Ellis

So LaVert, Niang, 5 seconds, 2 1st Round Swaps for Schroeder and Ellis (ending contract)?

Yikes.

Bulls won. Hornets won. Hawks Lost to freaking Indiana.

Hornets now 1.5 games out of the playin. Chicago 1 game above Midlanta.

Hawks in a 3-way tie for the 11th worst record with Clippers (8-2 in last 10 games) and Portland, who has entered the Giannis sweepstakes.

Hawks just 1.5 games from the 10th seed, which is probably their worst possible finish, unless Kyrie comes back and Dallas makes the dumb decision to not tank. 10th seed is about a 15% chance at top 4 and 67% chance at 10th.

DJG is one of the two-ways, and apparently he's done for the year.

But looking forward to what a McLaughlin-Waters backcourt can do…

Yeah, DJG tore his ACL. I looked it up and Stanley Umude is the 3rd one. He's another Warren HS graduate.

Pretty absurd that the nba set it up for Spurs to play last night in Charlotte and then be back for a 1pm home game today.

And just as absurd that they expect the Spurs to fly back in today and play this evening after a massive travel delay.

This guy is a knock down shooter for the Hawks. .423 this year, .437 last year.

Reath has looked like Bassey - some real flashes of defensive potential... but he is also 29yo and barely ever plays.

They need size, but afraid to make a real trade. I think they got worse here.

EDIT: I just saw Reath had foot surgery and is out for the season. Hilarious.

Wait, Atlanta sent out picks to move Vit?

Get on the phone right now and offer Portland a 2nd to do Vit for Lindy. They can get 3 seconds to move an injured player for Lindy Waters.

Edit: Fischer cleared it up and was wrong:

So they'll get to the arena like 2 hours from tipoff. Great job Silver.

I'm sure Vic still plays 20 so he can get awards, but it wouldn't surprise me to see us punt this game because the NBA hates us with this dumbass schedule

Man this game bumping back to 8pm sucks. I was planning on taking my daughter to her first spurs game. We originally had tickets to the afternoon Kings game back in November, but my daughter got sick. Then traded Clippers tickets for this game so we could get another kid friendly time. Now the game is moving to 8pm and way too late on a school night for her.

Another reason there should never be a back to back where you have to travel for the second game.

NBA hates it's fans

Castle didn't make it.

Kawhi legitimately deserved it over LeFlop, but I really wanted to see Dillon Brooks make it over Bron just for the trolling he would do.
