I'll be at this game. Hopefully Book and/or Beal can play.

If you happen to have an extra ticket can I come and be your significant other?

There were some comparisons of Wemby with KD so it's an interesting matchup. Would be fun to see Bol Bol against him too.

I'm hoping we blow them out by like half time so we can run some Bol out there while Wemby is still playing. If it's a late blow out then Wemby is probably gonna sit out garbage time

San Antonio has a lot of talent. They will be scrappy and win 30 games this season but Wemby/Vassell/Sochan is a really nice trio for the future. Kelden Johnson isn't a bad player either, just not sure how he fits. He's a 3 who can't shoot or an undersized 4.

Book doesn't really need to play but I guess it's better to play a first game back in a game against a tanking team. Easier game and also a higher chance of a blowout (so you play less mins).

So yeah, don't really care if he's here either way. I think the team has been great without him. But would be nice to have him out there against Wemby on national TV.

Extra day off before this game so really hope both Beal and Book can play in this one. We're such a machine when the big 3 are all rolling, only got glimpses in preseason but they were damn good.

Shall I call MIB that one of their suspects has escaped? Maybe we win fairly easy like that

Devin Booker (ankle) DOUBTFUL and Bradley Beal (back) OUT Tuesday vs. Spurs.

Try again on Thursday, I guess.

Beal ruled out already. And apparently had ice on his back in practice.

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think Beal will play anytime before December.

It sucks because I think playing together and developing chemistry is very important in reg season for any new player. It hurt us last year in the playoffs when KD was injured for most of regular season and we didn’t have the best cohesiveness in the playoffs because of it.

I really hope this doesn’t become Nets version of their big 3 again with Kyrie and Harden always injured.

This looks pretty bad, he looks immobile. I think I was far too optimistic in saying he’ll be back in December. He may be out lot longer.

I don’t understand why the Suns aren’t ruling him out for several weeks and listing him as day-to-day. That Beal in the video does not look like someone who’s gonna wake up one random day and say “alright it’s all better, let’s play”.

Beal is working on his post moves it has nothing to do with back injury. He looks totally fine should be back in a week or so.

A week? I highly, highly doubt it but hope you’re right.

Wemby vs Durant will be a great matchup. DAMN

San Antonio with 4 draftees in their starting 5. Pretty much did the same GSW did.
Unfathomable how good they are in drafting the right player.
