San Antonio Spurs 2024-25 - Alien: Resurrection

You get beat on the offensive glass 17-8 and lose the turnover battle 15-5, you are almost certainly going to lose.

I’m not even mad. That’s a damn good team they lost to on the biggest stage in basketball. And if Bridges is shooting like that, you just tip your cap.

Vic isn’t even old enough to drink and he’s a top 5 player in the league. All of this only gets better. They have to take their lumps and learn how to close out these games. Once they do, look the fuck out. This is just the next step in the progression.

I watched this game and I haven’t watched NBA since Kobe. Vic is unreal, first time I’ve watched him. Holy shit. He’s still a kid and it sometimes shows but in a few years if he isn’t the most dominate player we’ve ever seen I don’t know what to tell you. Rebounds, blocks, inside game and the range omfg. He could bring audience records single handedly.

I don't know if he's top 5 yet but I'll give him top 10 without hesitation. Someone posted that in his last 9 or so games he was at like 30/10/4 dimes/4 blocks on basically 50/40/90. Stupid fucking numbers.

I'm a fan of the cameo. Tune in more and liven the thread up. The less we all have to read me and @Kermit's bullshit the better.

I wish I could god knows I need the distraction but my wife is uphauled at my “sportsball” watching as it is. When we got together Texas was so bad I honestly didn’t watch really any games. Now every Saturday night, “are you watching another football game?” I’ll peak at a few games and post if I can.

I’ll tell ya tho I’ve been watching the NBA documentaries, last dance and bad boys, about to crack open the lakers Celtics. Man I miss that era and Kobe was at the transition to todays game… so to turn on the tv Xmas day and see Vic ballin’ did make me think about getting back into it. It’s a different game but to see the wow factor as something else. Fuck the mavericks from the beginning to the end of time.

I keep trying to tell myself these are good games and they're showing a lot of improvement from last year and we weren't expecting to compete in the playoffs this year, but it's so frustrating to see them be so close in the end and lose these games.

It's one thing if a great player beats you. To allow guys like Mikal Bridges and Divencenzo to beat you is unacceptable.

Oh and Harrison Barnes going 8-9 for 24 pts is realistic? Spurs are a pesky team. Wemby lives up to the alien nickname to a T. Theyre 1 good consistent guard from being in the upper echelon of the west.  Wolves shot god awful, killed the Spurs in the paint and got destroyed up on FT attempts somehow.  Im just happy to be done with SA for the next 2.5 months. Our games are carbon printed since last year- Wolves jump out to big 1st half lead, Spurs go nuclear in the 2nd half  and the 4th is normally a dog fight.
