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. It’s the second night of a back-to-back for the Spurs, but they should be pretty well rested after last night’s easy blowout of the Kings, who didn’t seem too interested in playing a basketball game in San Antonio. I’ve seen a lot more enthusiasm at a Halloween apple bobbing contest than the Kings were putting out last night, who really didn’t have their heads or any other parts of their bodies in the game, except maybe Damontas Sabonis, who made some nice plays around the basket. Tonight, they’re in Utah to face Will Hardy’s Jazz, who are a much better coached squad than the Doug Christie’s Kings. The Jazz have a rest advantage, but are missing the services of Jaren Jackson Jr., and Lauri Markkannen and Jaxson Hayes are questionable. Mo Bamba has been taking the place of Hayes, and playing well. Tobias Harris is still out for the Spurs, but they have a pretty clean injury sheet otherwise, with everyone who played last night available for tonight’s contest. The Jazz are 1-3 on the season, and this looks like a very winnable game for the Silver and Black tonight if they can play with the kind of poise and effort of last night’s blowout win. The talent gap is enormous, and should carry the Silver and Black to a win tonight. For local viewers, this game is on DAZN only, which means that you needed to pay another bill just to watch these games. I salute your dedication to the cause. Let’s GOO Spurs!! Game Prediction: The Spurs bring Ja’Kobi Gillespie and David Jones Garcia on the trip so that Mitch can play a 5 guard lineup in crunch time.
