Khris probably sits. Wemba/Giannis first matchup. Spurs are 5-28, I fully expect a close one.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

The Spurs are mind-numbingly bad. This should be a big win for those looking for silver linings and a reason to believe in this team. Should

Can't wait to watch our guards get switched onto Wemby in the paint all night.

We only win this because Pop is not even trying to win. He plays awful minutes and rotations with his team. If it gets close he'll likely pull some move to ensure that he gets the L.

It's the only reason i have any confidence in this one.

The Spurs give up the most 3 pt shots per game than anyone in the league. Hopefully some of the guys can shoot themselves back into some form and confidence.

First game was closer than it should've been. When they weren't turning it over or bricking threes they scored quite well on us. Excited to see how Giannis trying to go at Wemby works out.

Only shot at a new coach would be an abysmal January and losing games like this one.

Would like to see Dame get into a rhythm tonight. He's clearly been dealing with his personal stuff and that's affecting him a bit. He's had some ice cold games lately and it crushes us when he isn't on. This is the game for him to go 6/8 from deep.

This schedule man or does the league just suck this year. If we ever play 5 moderately good teams in a row Griffin is as good as gone.

Looking forward to some meaningless Beas-wiggles in this one.

I don't care about Dame being in a rhythm tonight. Want to see it more in that GSW, Boston, Sac stretch. Or when we face PHX, Dallas, Denver in that other stretch next month.

Lose tonight, and it will be like the house is falling down.

But even then we'll still be OK. And if anyone here has never seen a Buster Keaton film, right that wrong at your earliest convenience. The General is his best known, but his best work and most amazing stunts are in other films.
