Welcome to the Recreation Thread. Veterans of the Recreation Thread understand how we do issues round right here, however for all you newbies we now have just a few guidelines. Our neighborhood tips apply and mainly say be cool, no private assaults, don’t troll and don’t swear an excessive amount of.
The Spurs have misplaced their final two video games, the final one a blowout in Oklahoma Metropolis the place the Thunder took over the sport within the third quarter and received 119-98. After spending many of the final couple on months in second place within the Western Convention, the Spurs have dropped to 3rd place, half a recreation behind the Denver Nuggets who’re on a 3 recreation successful streak regardless of lacking the providers of Nikola Jokic, with Jamal Murray enjoying like an All Star. The longest dropping streak by the Spurs this 12 months has been two video games, and so they want a win tonight to maintain that going. It may be powerful to do this in opposition to the Bucks, who aren’t having a fantastic 12 months, presently at 17-23, however who’re at all times harmful with Giannis Antetokounmpo able to a giant scoring evening at any time. Giannis is coping with an ankle harm, however he’s listed as possible within the harm report, so he must be advantageous tonight.
The Spurs’ will once more be lacking the providers of Devin Vassell, with an adductor pressure. It appears odd that the Spurs’ document with out Vassell is worse than it was with out Victor Wembanyama, however I feel that’s extra of a coincidence than causation, though the Spurs do miss his skill to make and create pictures. The remainder of the group has been in a horrible taking pictures hunch for what looks as if years, but it surely’s actually been solely about 3 weeks, ever for the reason that Christmas Day recreation in Oklahoma Metropolis. Tonight can be an excellent time to interrupt out, and the group began to point out some indicators of that within the final recreation, with the Spurs taking pictures 35% on three level pictures in opposition to the Thunder. That’s not a fantastic share, but it surely seems golden in comparison with many of the recreation in 2026 up to now. If the Spur can maintain enhancing their taking pictures whereas enjoying good protection, they need to break their dropping streak tonight.
Tonight is the forty first recreation of the season, precisely midway by way of the NBA marathon 82-game slog. The Spurs are nonetheless a really younger group that hasn’t been to the playoffs for a number of years, so the place they’re now’s fairly spectacular, and the large problem for them is to maintain up the depth for the remainder of the season and land someplace close to the highest of the playoff standings within the west. The group has appeared fairly drained these days, and it’s maybe comprehensible to be a bit fatigued at this level within the season because the group has to play so many video games in such a brief timeline. The All Star break is a bit over three weeks away, so if the group can maintain on for that lengthy, they need to get an opportunity to get well whereas Victor Wembanyama and (possibly) Stephon Fort spend just a few days with some low affect cardio train in entrance of an viewers. Let’s GO SPURS!!!
Giannis Antetokounmpo is blocked a few instances driving to the basket by Victor Wembanyama, and he decides to accept lengthy three level pictures within the second half, which all miss badly.
