San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Mitch Cumsteen replied to Mitch Cumsteen's topic in Basketball
Kornet back tonight. Almost back to full strength sans Harper. Giddey out. Hopefully they’ve alerted all the local middle schools. -
The maddening thing about Georgia is that no matter how ugly the game is or how poorly they play, they damn near always seem to find a way to pull out a win (except against Bama for whatever reason). I don't like those assholes and I fucking hate Kirby, but credit where credit is due. Winners win. And let's give a little credit to this Longhorn team as well. It's looked really, really bad at times against Kentucky and Mississippi State and whatever ref fuckery that happened in the fourth quarter against Vanderbilt, but this team has found a way to grind it out, outlast their opponent, and make enough plays to win. So fuck whatever schemes or matchups you want to talk about, this game is about outfighting and being tougher than these fucksticks for 4 quarters and however many overtimes it takes. That's the game to me.

Yeah he was hurt his first couple of years. If Detroit had better lottery luck they would be on the verge of a dynasty. And gimme Cade ten times out of ten over Sengun.

Cade Cunningham is a beast. I’m not going to do a top 10 players in the league right now list but if I was I would be hard pressed to not have him on it.

The schedule has been mostly ass, but 7-2 is 7-2 and good enough for the second best record in the league. And they’ve been beat up too. They’re really going to be fun to watch at full strength. GSG -

Fox… it’s been awhile. Oh I remember why the spurs traded for you now. -

Love the physicality tonight. They are taking it to Houston. There would have been 500 fouls if they officiated this game like the Lakers game the other night. -
Cleveland. For getting Donovan Mitchell.

I'll take why not both for $200, Alex. They are being extremely cautious as always, and they never say shit about anything ever anyway. We may not see Harper until the fucking all star break at this rate. Kornet has been out for what seems like an inordinate amount of time for an ankle sprain. But then again, it's the same ankle that he sprained and fractured back in 2020 so maybe they're taking that injury history into consideration. All I know is that I don't like going into this Houston game this undermanned. I know most folks think the NBA cup deal is stupid, but I think it would be fun to see the Spurs play in competitive games with a little more on the line that just random regular season game. I think it would be good seasoning for a potential playoff appearance as well. I actually want them to compete and try to win this stupid thing. This franchise hasn't played in a game with anything on the line in years. -
I don't disagree about the economy, but that's the lowest get in price and more reflective of a shitty slate. It certainly won't look like that for Texas/Georgia next Saturday. Most schools don't charge the same for each game. Back in the Big12 days, a Texas ticket would be double or triple that of some other conference foes. I still think Tech has $10 tickets for some home games. In other news.... YoutTube TV is hemorrhaging subscribers. Google is losing the war. We are all casualties. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/youtube-tv-disney-blackout-subscribers-canceling-1236571504/

Castle's All true. The thing Castle has improved the most on this season is finishing in the paint but not at the rim. It seemed like he missed every one of those shots from about 8-10 feet out last year. The in between game improvement has been tremendous. His FT shooting has gotten better over the last few games too after a rough start. It was pretty much known going into the draft that his shooting was going to define his ceiling as a player and that trajectory is definitely looking fantastic. I still can't believe Houston drafted Reed Sheppard over him. That is going to haunt them for years. I thought Lindy looked good as well. Definite upgrade over Mclaughlin. I thought Olynyk was particularly atrocious on defense. He needs another big next to him. Kornet being out has destroyed the bench's defense. They kept showing that Victor defensive rating on/off statistic, but that thing looks a lot different if Kornet is playing. Bottom line, though, is that this is a really deep team. One final observation: They need to learn how to punish teams that stick a small on Victor. This has been going on since literally his second game in the league when the Dillon Brooks/Rockets shit started. They have to find a way to get him on the block and not have him drift out to the three point line. Two games in a row of midgets banging into his arms and getting him into foul trouble is frustrating as hell. He's got to figure that shit out and they have to find ways to help him with back picks and other actions to free him up down low. This Alex Caruso type shit against him has got to stop. -

Awful basketball. Horribly officiated. Still should have won. -

Three point shooting keeping the spurs in this. Too many turnovers and too much foul baiting that they’re falling for. The league needs to do something about the offensive player initiating contact and it being a defensive foul. So frustrating. -

Fuck it I just dialed it. A little disappointed that they reported the temperature without prefacing with “downtown temperature” and they are four minutes behind, but that was oddly satisfying. Puro San Antonio. -

I'm not going to look it up or dial it... is it 226-3232? -
I'm familiar with one of them, that's for sure.

This is the last thing I'm going to say about all this crap and hopefully we can get back to winning basketball tonight against the got dam Lakers (if I can find a fucking ESPN stream - fuck you Disney and Google) instead of this political bullshit... but the Spurs are putting in a substantial amount of their own cash. Compare their deal to what OKC did for the Thunder or how other cities have bent over to keep their sports teams. So the deal itself seems pretty decent and there are still negotiations to be made. It's not really over with. But beyond that, I don't think you can put a price on what the Spurs have meant to this city over the past 50 years. We are a one major league sports town. It just so happens also that the one major league team we have has been the model franchise in all of pro sports for the last 25ish of those years. They have also been fairly amazing when it comes to their commitment to the community and the type of organization they have run and people they have employed (notwithstanding Josh Primo's dick). The civic pride and cross-cultural impact that the Spurs have provided to this city is Incalculable. This isn't as simple as a billionaire bailout/subsidy. This is something that is ingrained into the fabric of this city -- and not just the white folks on the northside. Believe me, you walk into any southside or westside neighborhood bar and they are ride or die Spurs fans. The Spurs are a huge part of their lives. I'll never forget being downtown after the 1999 championship. The streets are flooded. Me and my buddies are sitting in Commerce Street gridlock in my convertible. People are running around losing their shit in a good, way. This one scary ass gang banger looking dude comes up to me, gives me a high five and says, "Isn't this fucking awesome? Normally, you and me would never look at each other or talk to each other. But today? Man, we are all Spurs fans and brothers. Go Spurs Go!" And then he waded off into the crowd. The idea of San Antonio not having the Spurs is unfathomable to me. The Spurs have had some of the highest priced seats in the league for years now, even with one of the shittiest corporate bases in the country. The average person has been priced out already. But no, there aren't going to be enough people to buy the tickets, especially since they are going to have the single biggest attraction in the sport for the next 15 years (injury or trade demand notwithstanding, god forbid). Who will attend the games when everybody has been killed by drunk drivers? -

I'm not sure why I'm doing this to myself and arguing with the biggest moron on this board and I won't even ask who you consider to be "SA voters" because you don't even know what area/roadways define the perimeter of downtown San Antonio. But if you go by the precincts that are inside Loop 410 (roughly the 3000 - 4000's) -- those are the ones who you would think are most directly impacted and who should definitely be considered SA voters... Prop B passed 79,403 to 69,974. That's 53% in favor. Those folks (i.e., the majority of SA voters) accounted for 60.5% of the total vote. The rest of the county? The other 97,333 voters who comprised 39.5% of the total vote in the "outlying Bexar county areas"? They went 50.5% for, 49.5% against. Whatever. Run for your lives!!!! WE ARE RUINED!!!! The drunk drivers are going to kill us all now that this 0.25% hotel tax is in place. -

Yes. Ruined forever. Downtown San Antonio will heretofore become a ghost town and the entire city will have been thrown into the shitter by a 0.25% tax increase on tourists when they rent a fucking hotel room or rent a car. No more conventions. No more major league sporting events. No more downtown hotels and restaurants and conventions and tourists. We are sooooooooo fucked!!!!!! Game over, bitches. -

It looks like 53% in favor of Prop B with 82% of the votes in. -
I don't even have a snarky comment to make about this.

No, they are saying that Ballmer is part of the fraud. He didn't enable the fraud, he committed fraud by funneling cash he put in right back out of the company for his own purposes AND that his investment by virtue of the weight he carries as a legitimate businessman, kept other investors in the company. The whole thing was a sham and he's got the deepest pockets. Zero surprise that other investors are going after him. He's going to claim that he got screwed just like everybody else, but he just used the company as a shell to pay Kawai under the table.

It's been a rough couple of months for Flos at Mel's diner.
