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 begin their first extended homestand since January against a Lakers team that mortgaged their depth and future for Russell Westbrook, and suffice it to say it has not gone according to plan. Instead of contending for a title, the aging trio of Westbrook, Anthony Davis and LeBron James have struggled to remain relevant and face a serious possibility of not even making the play-in as younger teams coming into their own rise to the top of the West.
Theoretically, having Davis out with injury and LeBron listed as questionable would mean a big opportunity for the Spurs to steal a second win from the Lakers, and it would also be a fitting opponent for Gregg Popovich to FINALLY tie Don Nelson for “winningest coach of all time”, but can they do it with Lakers killer Keita Bates-Diop listed as doubtful with back soreness, not to mention Devin Vassell (sore throat) and Lonnie Walker (stomach illness)?
Tune in to find out!
