Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poundingtherock.com\/community-guidelines\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">community guidelines<\/a> apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don\u2019t troll and don\u2019t swear too much. The rule against trolling also applies to members of this site that visit other fan sites. <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Spurs got their first win of the season against a short-handed Mavericks squad on Saturday night, blowing them out 122-106 with a fourth quarter surge. They meet the Sacramento Kings tonight, who they destroyed 126-97 in their final preseason tuneup on October 16. Ben Simmons looked like the best player for the Kings in that game, but he\u2019s now out for the season after tearing his Achilles tendon in practice before the season ever started. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/kings\/onsi\/zach-lavine-gets-brutally-honest-about-kings-leadership\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zach Lavine seems to think the problem with the team is a lack of veteran leadership<\/a>, which is a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jne9t8sHpUc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ironic<\/a>, since he\u2019s a veteran and the highest paid player on the team. Doug Christie is on the hot seat, and this is pretty sad for a team that is just a few years removed from the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Light_the_Beam\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Light the Beam<\/a>\u2019 era in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">On paper, this looks like an easy win for the Silver and Black at home, but they haven\u2019t been playing all that great so far in the season, with just a 1-2 record so far, with Victor Wembanyama still in offseason mode. If they approach this matchup with appropriate fear, it could be over before halftime, but if they let the purple-wearing visitors hang around, it could be a long night for the good guys. Here\u2019s hoping that they put this away early and we can see David Jones Garcia work on his game for most of the final quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Let\u2019s enjoy the game, and look for a dominant performance from the Silver and Black. Let\u2019s GOO Spurs!!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">De\u2019Aaron Fox is ejected from the game after giving Damontas Sabonis a wedgie on court after dunking on him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">San Antonio Spurs vs Sacramento Kings<br \/>October 27, 2026 | 7:00 PM CT <br \/>Streaming: DAZN, League Pass<br \/>TV: DAZN, CWSA<br \/>Reminder: It is against site policy to post links to illegal streams in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the Game Thread.
