@SpursReporter Unlikely. Spurs will almost certainly lose another gm (b2b at LAC or one v Nuggets). That means three losses for OKC. They’ve got Pistons w/out Cade, home v NYK and have handled LAL. Don’t see it.

Will the Spurs will catch the OKC Thunder for the best record in the NBA?

@NWhiting7 Young guys? Ok… The comparison isn’t Jed to Eddie and the different rules of the eras. It’s about Jed right now. And he’s just fine, with his coach that’s superior to Harbs, an excellent HC too, who can no longer win a playoff gm. Talk about participation trophies.
English
@TeutonSF Jed got where he is because he’s a nepo baby. Harbaugh is a better coach than Shanahan. Jed has zero super bowls., I know you young guys like participation awards, but Eddie had 5 titles in 23 years. The Yorks have zero in 26 years.
English
The 49ers and Rams will play Week 1 on Thursday, September 10th at 5:35 p.m. PT at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia
English
@NWhiting7 Learned from his mistake and has kept an even better coach despite not yet winning the SB. Most excellent business people got there by learning from early errors. Jed has. If you can move past a decision made 12 years hence, you’re the problem.
English
@TeutonSF @Coach_Yac Fired a coach whose worst year was .500 because he wouldn’t be his yes man. Instead hired the likes of Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly. Forfeited draft picks due to “administrative payroll accounting error”, continues to employee a GM that has had 5 straight years of terrible drafts.
English
@SpursReporter @anthonyVslater He’s correct. No recent dominant player was more hurt by this lack of appreciation more than Duncan. I’d add that if defensive dominance were more considered for MVP, Kawhi would’ve won in 2017 as he should’ve.

@NWhiting7 @Coach_Yac Owning a team that the league and networks *want* in international games and specifically their first ever in Australia is the opposite of such an owner. SF to CDMX is shorter than to NY and in the central time zone, thus not a notably long road trip. Seems Jed’s doing well.
English
@Coach_Yac Jed is such a shitty owner. Got us going to Australia and Mexico City in the same season. Ridiculous.
English
@SirRobertBuford @DevonBirdsong The lack of a COY push, of not default to Mitch as favorite, tells me that many discussants haven’t truly looked at the record nor put it in proper context. Second best overall in the NBA, while playing in the West, young team, h2h v OKC/DET/BOS. Should be a short debate.
English
Wanna know what I’m sick of? The Spurs are 54-18. THEY ARE GOING TO WIN 60 GAMES. They would literally have to suddenly become a .500 ball club at best and finish the season 5-5 in order not to. AND YET…
Wemby isn’t the favorite to win MVP.
Keldon isn’t the favorite to win 6MOY.
And Mitch isn’t the favorite to win COY.
Seriously? Make. It. Make. Sense.

Stephen A. Smith on Victor Wembanyama comments about he should be the MVP: “Ladies and gentlemen, I need you to understand and embrace the magnitude of Victor Wembanyama’s words. It’s very, very important that you embrace the words that came out of this man’s mouth. Victor Wembanyama is telling you right now he deserves to be the defensive player of the year. He’s accurate about that. He’s telling you he don’t give damn about what you have to say about SGA or Jaylen Brown. He should be the league MVP.” (Via @stephenasmith)

@BZSPURS @ESPNInsights @meggsss25 If Timmy had national talking heads properly assessing his legacy as they still do his contemporaries, it’d be more widely acknowledged that he’s a couple DPOY and at least one MVP short of what he earned. But he never whined so…
English
@ESPNInsights @meggsss25 What’s crazy is Timmy never won defensive player of the year. Insane
English
Victor Wembanyama records his fourth game this season with:
🏀 25 PTS
🏀 15 REB
🏀 5 BLK
That's the most by any player in a single season since Tim Duncan had five in 2001-02 👏
English
@SpursReporter Since the 2018-19 season, the Heat were a franchise the Spurs just couldn’t beat. Not just a talent issue but experience, maybe toughness. The season’s bookend wins, two different types, shows further how much they’ve grown.
English
Spurs win their 54th game of the year and it's the kind of win that makes you stop and think about just how high the ceiling is for them.
A 25-point win, up by 30 in the third, they just imposed their will.
They bullied the Miami Heat on the glass too- 62–38 rebounding edge, 17 offensive boards, and a 25–6 advantage in second-chance points. Miami had no room to breathe.
SpursRΞPORTΞR@SpursReporter
This is what Brian Wright and the Spurs envisioned according to The Athletic’s @Sam_Vecenie. Wembanyama anchoring the defense Castle and Harper locking up the perimeter And when they share the floor? 125.8 offensive rating 91.5 defensive rating That’s not potential… that’s dominance.
English
@SpursReporter @ringer He also casually noted a never mentioned MVP year when career totals are debated: Duncan should’ve been MVP in ‘99. He proved it in the postseason but it was clear before that. His overall career excellence makes the early snub forgotten.
English
The Wembanyama hype is leveling up…
@Ringer’s Bill Simmons says Wemby might already be ready to win MVP… and a championship.
English
@HarryBerezin Completely underrated for most heartbreaking ending, especially when combined with the evening prior.
English
Heartbreaking. That night I remember thinking we might never win a World Series in my lifetime.

One of the craziest endings to a postseason series to ever 😱
English
@tom_orsborn Is it accurate that a Spurs win (52) v the Suns clinches a playoff spot as PHX would then only be able to reach 51 wins?
English
Throw out the Xs and Os. De'Aaron Fox said there's a simple explanation for why the Spurs had 41 assists tonight and hit a franchise-record 25 3s:
"We enjoy playing together," he said. "We enjoy seeing each other succeed. So that makes sharing the ball much easier."
English
@HarryBerezin @LombardiHimself I could see a wk2 MNF early kickoff SF-KC. Home opener for Chiefs, SB rematch, Niners get extra day but also open with difficult road games. That would allow the Rams to host the later KO.
English
@LombardiHimself They usually have an east coast team host the earlier of the two MNF games. Otherwise you have a Monday game kicking off locally during normal work hours.
English
The NFL had 2 MNF games in Week 2 of the 2025 season. It would make sense to do that again in 2026, with the 49ers and Rams both hosting one of those MNF games so that both SF and LA enjoy maximum rest following their returns from Australia
David Lombardi@LombardiHimself
49ers vs Rams will air in the US on Thursday, Sept. 10. However, it will be Friday, Sept. 11 midday when it's played in Melbourne due to date line/time change. Expect 49ers to immediately fly back to CA. Crossing back over date line, they'll land in CA on Friday PM. Week 2 TBD
English
@SpursReporter @bballforever_ I’ll go with 60-22. One loss to Denver since Spurs won’t need the win, b2b night at LAC, maybe in Miami, and a late loss in which the starters sit.
English
@bomani_jones And the man has an excellent name for a defense minister.
English
@Coach_Yac One reason a Tackle would be helpful short term, it’s foolish to expect Trent to start 15+ games in a season. The 16 last season was an outlier. Expectations should be reduced with further aging.
English
@FrankArone @BillSimmons @TheCousinSal @SeanFennessey @SethWickersham Was wondering if anyone else caught this. Sal will have the paperwork in proper order come August.
English
@BillSimmons @TheCousinSal @SeanFennessey @SethWickersham Not blaming you guys because it's hard to believe with how bad last year was but the Vikings actually have a 3rd place schedule and the lions fell all the way to 4th, which helps explain their 10.5 number

@SpursReporter How much of this is the Amare strategy vs the ‘05-‘08 Suns of living with him being a scorer but also going back at him on the other end? Make Jokic the focus… it’s certainly worked well h2h for the Spurs despite Nuggets being the better team.
English
Some might suggest that Plumlee might be the guy to put on Jokic defensively since his stats against Plumlee are a little more "manageable,” but are they really?
Check the results from their 18 career meetings. 👇🏼
Now imagine throwing Wemby and Plumlee or Wemby and Luke doubles at him? 🤔
SpursRΞPORTΞR@SpursReporter
Interestingly, regular season games featuring both Jokic and Wemby have been pretty one-sided. Nikola Jokić has averaged 36.8 points per game in matchups against Victor Wembanyama and that's one of the highest scoring averages Jokic has against any defender. Wembanyama was listed as questionable for tonight's matchup but if both players play, it raises a big question… Can Wemby finally slow down one of the the most unstoppable offensive players in the NBA?
