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 are on a nine game winning streak and have a pretty good shot to make it 10 in a row with a victory over the struggling Bulls. The Spurs have been so dominant the last couple of games, you begin to wonder if they’re that good or they’re just
playing bad teams. That question will not be answered by tonight’s game, but Friday’s NBA Cup game against the Warriors will definitely provide some data to test that hypothesis. The team that wins that game will be unbeaten in the group, and will have an inside track on advancing to the knockout rounds since all of the other teams in the group will have at least one loss.
It’s important not to take games against bad teams lightly, because anything can happen if you don’t prepare properly and take the opponent seriously. It’s the last night of a four game road trip for the Spurs, and they can’t afford to look forward to Friday’s home game against the Warriors. Chicago is well rested, not having played since Sunday when they lost a 127-121 game to the 76ers. Caleb Wilson, the fourth overall pick this year, is starting for them and playing really well. Josh Giddey is holding down the point, and they have a lot of young talent, it just hasn’t come together yet under new head coach Tiago Splitter. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen tonight. Devin Vassell is out tonight, and should be replaced by Julian Champagnie in the starting lineup. Hopefully we will see a lot of Tarris Reed and Jordan McLaughlin, too. I always look forward to seeing the game thread reactions when Jordan gets into the game before the Bear.
It’s Veteran’s Day, and today we honor the men and women who dedicate their lives to defend our country and way of life. Please take a moment to reflect on their sacrifices, and thank them if you get a chance. As always, GO SPURS GO! Lets go Spurs, and Mitch must dominate Tiago.
Game Prediction:
Caleb Wilson challenges Victor Wembanyama at the hoop and it does not go well for the rookie.
