Just my opinion, but I think the top 6 in the West are set. Just a matter of order.

I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but Dallas could surprise before it’s said and done.

Food Ninja Zion might be a better option than starter Zion. The best 6th since Microwave Vinnie.

They need a point guard still. I think they'll go for one at the deadline.

Yes, Spurs are young, but they play very poised and mature. In the minority, but been saying all along - Spurs can do this.

Poor Chet got beaten and bruised, now OKC is 0-2 against the team that has a chance to develop into a contender in a couple years, wink, wink.

Pretty impressive beating the Thunder twice in short succession. Thunder have been winning so much, it’s probably easy to become complacent even just a tick would lose a team some games. Hopefully they’ll regain their stride. It’s hard to repeat at any level.

Dillon Brooks uncorked a 25/0/0/0/0/0 game!

Highest points outage without recording absolutely anything else??

Wild

There’s really no reason for the NBA to not have a couple of Christmas Eve games. Hopefully they do in the future.

Wemby is a cheat code. If he can stay healthy and the rest of the team can play even average then the Spurs have a great shot.

Was looking at this regarding Chet and it was funny because the first comment I saw was my first thought…That’s what SGA does on almost every drive

Cool snow flake patch on the back of the Christmas Day jerseys this year. Not sure if they’re auctioning off the jerseys for charity or if that’s a fanatics initiative, but it looks cool. Wish they’d go back to special jerseys for Christmas games though.

Agreed.

spurs50fan · 12-25-2025, 03:15 PM

Good first. Weathered the initial punch

Chryghst · 12-25-2025, 03:33 PM

I’m sorry to say it Ninja, but these 3 games have shown that the Chet contract is going to be what prevents an OKC dynasty. You can’t be paying max $ to a guy who can’t hang with the 2 best players at his position in his own conference. We have enough data now to say that the way to beat OKC is through elite center play.

spurs50fan · 12-25-2025, 05:02 PM

Styles make the fight but 3 losses is wild

Wemby on minutes restriction in all three will make for some good commentary.

blackvodka · 12-25-2025, 07:48 PM

Once is a coincidence, twice is a trend, but three times is a pattern.

Chet & J-Dub just haven't played their best as of late, their depth has taken a mid-season dip in overall production and today even SGA just looked agitated and it was a forgettable game by his standards. Let's see how they play the next 6-8 games or so.

Great point by the commentary team. The difference in athleticism and speed between these two teams (Lakers/Rockets) is wild.

KhalDrogo · 12-25-2025, 09:38 PM

I came here to dump on street clothes getting hurt again. But man, has this place died. Biggest regular season day for the NBA and there’s half a dozen posts?

Chryghst · 12-25-2025, 10:15 PM

Don’t think the Lakers beat any of the following in a playoff series: OKC, SA, DEN, MIN, HOU. Does that make them sellers at the deadline?

rhigh2390 · 12-25-2025, 10:22 PM

Lebron with a cool -33 in 32 mins

He clearly does not care about this team or organization at all.

But he’s so generous.

He gave every single lakers fan a piece of coal in their stockings.
