Welcome to the Recreation Thread. Veterans of the Recreation Thread understand how we do issues round right here, however for all you newbies now we have a couple of guidelines. Our neighborhood tips apply and mainly say be cool, no private assaults, don’t troll and don’t swear an excessive amount of.
After Thursday evening’s dissection of the Summer time Sixers, the Spurs made do with a workmanlike overpowering of Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks. The Spurs held a snug lead for a lot of the sport, and snuffed out a late comeback try with clutch baskets from David Jones-Garcia and Dylan Harper as time ran out on the Mavericks.
David Jones-Garcia had a brief stretch within the first half the place he fell to earth a bit and made some unforced errors that led to Maverick factors, however he completed robust, and continues to compile a stable case for shifting up from the G-League to one of many 30 groups within the NBA. It’s not precisely clear that that staff would be the Spurs, however we must always know shortly after the Las Vegas Summer time League is over.
Dylan Harper had a formidable debut within the Silver and Black, scoring 16 in much less that 20 minutes, and making an impossible-looking block on a Nembhard breakaway. The Spurs protection was spectacular, holding the Mavs to 69 factors, 31 of which had been scored by Flagg. Carter Bryant had one other poor offensive outing the place he couldn’t discover the basket, however made a collection of wow performs on protection, and confirmed why the Spurs had been keen to draft him with the 14th decide. Bryant might need tweaked his ankle within the Mavs sport, so I wouldn’t be too stunned to see him sit out tonight’s sport and are available again on Thursday towards the Hornets.
The Jazz performed late final evening, dropping to the Warriors, 93-103, and haven’t seemed notably spectacular in Summer time League to date. They’ve some expertise, so they’re a staff that might beat the Summer time Spurs in the event that they take the end result without any consideration. The Jazz are led by Kyle Filipowski and Cody Williams within the entrance courtroom, and have former Texas guard Max Abmas (you gained’t imagine how that’s pronounced) coming off the bench. It’s goin to be fascinating to see the Spurs can preserve rolling over opponents and presumably earn a spot within the Summer time League Championship. To get there, they might in all probability must win all 4 video games and have a big level differential, since solely the highest 4 groups make it into the event.
Recreation Prediction:
There will likely be a short delay through the sport when Keldon Johnson throws his cowboy hat onto the courtroom after disagreeing with a foul name.
GO SPURS GOOOO!!!
