I don’t get why our guys sometimes seem scared to make a simple pass but they’ll go for these obviously stupid passes too
mice defense graham
I can’t express how happy it makes me to come home from a long day at work and have the Spurs playing on a local channel that I can watch. I don’t care who’s playing. I don’t care if we’re having a down year. I just want to cheer for my team.
Can I handle 20 more games of KBD starting? I don’t know
malaki i love u
Love me some Luka but damn he complains so much 😂
Luka is a hell of a player, however anyone else tired of his crying?
So I just found out that Sochan isn’t playing because of a quad issue… Did he worsened it during the All Star Weekend?
Branham looks like a completely different player now compared to the first 20 games
Imagine if Doncic got in shape?
Having Barlow defend Luka is… an interesting choice…
Barlow getting no love from the refs those were good contests
The refs hating my mans Barlow out there 😭
Man I can see that steal coming from a mile away.
Branham looks so comfortable out there, easy to forget he’s a “young” rookie. And damn, Barlow jumps straight and calling foul everytime….getting no love
That’s twice now Barlow’s gotten an iffy foul call against him
You know things are rough when you stop worrying about winning and start worrying about players possibly getting hurt…
Graham isn’t a great player but it’s nice having a guy that can shoot and has some experience handling the ball on the team
I think we just witnessed a miracle. Keita Bates-Diop passed the ball on a fast break lol
God damn malaki is good!
An offensive hook from Kyrie, and Keldon gets a foul for…being too strong? Lol
As a basketball fan there’s nothing I love more than watching Luka doncic foul bait for 40 minutes a night
Sean about to nut over Branham’s shot
Great help by Collins on that Kyrie drive then he came over and played good defense against Powell after Kyrie passed it
Luka is starting to go through the Harden path of “I can’t guard him because I’ll always get called for a foul” kind of shenanigans.
blake loves to shoot shots that goes against the flow of the offense lol
Malaki Branham is so fucking good
Malaki is gonna be a problem for this league
Malaki is that guy
I will die for Malaki
BranHIM. He’s such a good fucking shooter! We got someone good here folks.
Malaki BranHIM
But seriously though he makes scoring looks so easy, and this is literally his first year in the league
Feeling a bit less sore about the 2021 draft
When Vassell comes back, do you keep Branham in the starting 5 or do you making him a 6th man of sorts?
At the game in Dallas tonight boys, Branham is fucking legit man. His feel for the game is great and is rapidly approving every possession. Once he gets to that midrange he just needs to pull up, eliminate those turnovers in the middle.. terrible defender right now but so are most rookies. Super impressive kid
Jakob with a 21/18 game on 9-11 shooting. damn
The Dallas commentary team struggles to tell Doug McDermott and Zach Collins apart… It’s weird since McDermott played in Dallas before…
>open up Spurs Box Score
>Malaki Branham is shooting over 50%
Like clockwork
That should be a no call, but he starting leaning back before contact even happened haha

And so the Dallas commentary says that the Spurs have a few good young players but they miss “one top dog” to push them over the hump.
