Welcome to the Sport Thread. Veterans of the Sport Thread know the way we do issues round right here, however for all you newbies we’ve just a few guidelines. Our neighborhood pointers apply and principally say be cool, no private assaults, don’t troll and don’t swear an excessive amount of.
Tonight is the primary evening that followers in San Antonio will see the 2023-20024 Spurs in motion at their house area. The Frost Financial institution Middle will probably be rockin’ tonight, as Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and the remainder of the Miami Warmth come into city for an early preseason contest.
It’s solely the second sport of preseason, however there are lower than two weeks till actual basketball begins, with the Spurs going through the Mavericks on October 25, adopted by the Rockets on the twenty seventh (I’ll be at that sport).
The Spurs appeared nice within the first half of their first preseason sport on Monday, scoring 81 factors earlier than halftime towards the Thunder. The second half was performed in mud, because the Spurs scored much less that half that complete and misplaced 122-121, however the sport was marked by some wonderful performances by younger gamers on each side, with each Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren posting spectacular debuts. Devin Vassell’s season begin was much less spectacular, however he nonetheless has time to spherical into form earlier than the true season begins.
Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson didn’t play towards the Thunder, and they need to make their preseason debuts tonight. We’d even see Khem Birch play tonight, as he’s nonetheless in a Spurs roster and obtainable to play. The Warmth look to be holding most of their veterans out tonight, so this will probably be time for the younger Spurs to shine. It is a nationally televised contest, which is one thing that’s fairly uncommon for a Spurs preseason sport. Wembanyamania is actual, of us.
Sport Prediction:
Jimmy Butler will miss a number of pictures as a result of he has to make use of his off arm to push his bangs out of his visual view. [He’s out tonight, so we will just see him do this from the bench.]
One remaining phrase:
Go Spurs GOOOOOO!!
