It’s time for Basketball: Spurs at Thunder

On By Littum

Welcome to the game thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies, we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.

The Spurs, fresh off a home baseball series against the Rockets in which they went 1-1, face the undefeated Thunder tonight, who have won by nearly 20 points a game so far this season. It’s the first night of a back-to-back for the Spurs, so we’ll see if Pop continues last year’s policy of not playing Wembanyama on consecutive nights. Saving Wemby for the winless Jazz tomorrow might be a better strategy to maximize wins for the Silver and Black, but playing him against the Thunder might be a better learning opportunity for the tall French prodigy.

Oklahoma City lacks a lot of quality and they are almost forced to play Chet Holmgren at center instead of his preferred power forward position. The Spurs should have a size advantage tonight and pounding the ball inside will be their best opportunity to cause an upset on the opposition’s home court. Let’s keep an eye on the underdogs.

Game Prediction:

Jeremy Sochan comes to the game in his Halloween costume as Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street because he is the team’s garbage man.

A final word:

Go Spurs GOOOOOO!!
