Game Thread: Spurs vs Rockets - Oct 27th 7PM CT on Ballys (3AM RIGA)

[Leetonidas]

Getting this one started early to avoid any cursed game threads being started

:flag:

[Leetonidas]

As of now, looks like only Graham out for SA (suspension) and Eason out for Houston (stress fracture)

[Fizziksman]

Over Under how many shots Keldon takes away from Wemby in the 4th.

[RC_Drunkford]

they better get the W here

[rjv]

yeah, a loss here would really suck-especially at home. hopefully, tony brothers has left the building.

[NASpurs]

Jesus, how many times are we going to play the Rockets

[onechance87]

expecting wemby to have a big game....And expecting team to get him involved

[Leetonidas]

As long as Wemby is healthy at the end of the game nothing else matters tbh

[scott]

Wemby breakout game tbh

[Russ]

Wemby breakout game tbh

30+ (Why not.)

[spurs10]

Over Under how many shots Keldon takes away from Wemby in the 4th. He will likely try to run it in for a TD if we are tight in the end.

[koriwhat]

What's going to be his stat line this game?

22pts, 6rbs, 2blks, 1stl...

[spurs10]

Jesus, how many times are we going to play the Rockets Yeah the only games I didn't enjoy attending much when I had season tickets was them, but it was mainly the crowd. Fights every time. Just drunk morons looking for trouble.

[spurs10]

Looking forward to Wemby staying on the court a bit longer this game...if so he should thrive.

[LeBowen]

I'm going to enjoy not having national TV broadcast, missed Bill and Sean.

I'm not going to say it's a must win game, but losing to Rockets would be a bad look early on.

[Brazil]

they better get the W here

:lol

or what ?

[jmard5]

Let's go, Spurs. 1-1.

[heyheymymy]

81-1 tbh

CIA Pop just needed Wemby to get over himself real quick

[RC_Drunkford]

:lol

or what ?

read the comment above yours. Besides that I want to see another clutchfans meltdown :lol

[heyheymymy]

Rockets players not perhaps as savvy as Dallas to drive into Wemby or embellish on a wemby screen

Hope he learns to manage his fouls, more length more contact if the refs want to go that route

Pop should DNP Wemby for the next ESPN televised game

[heyheymymy]

Really enjoying the Cedi Osman storyline

He looks useful out there. Pretty much a nice fit doin all the little things

Great cuts to the basket a nice touch shooting

Kinda trips me out in #16 though, looks like a mini Pau out there

[GAustex]

Over under on how many layups Sochan misses?

[hater]

Over under on how many layups Sochan misses?

With any luck, poor mans Udoka sits tonight

[Joseph Kony]

Wemby is one of those dudes that when they have a bad game they're going to come out and try to dominate the next. I expect some nice ooohs and aaahs tonight tbh

[Mugen]

Wemby is one of those dudes that when they have a bad game they're going to come out and try to dominate the next. I expect some nice ooohs and aaahs tonight tbh

Might foul out in the 3rd then tbh :lol

[DaDakota]

Anyone have an extra ticket they want to sell?

And I am super jealous that we won the coin flip for the higher pick and that meant you guys got Wemby.

While we have to watch 4 guys we HOPE can develop into a dude, you got a Dude right out of the box.

DD

[RC_Drunkford]

Over under on how many layups Sochan misses?

5.5 judging by last game

[Russ]

I am super jealous that we won the coin flip for the higher pick and that meant you guys got Wemby.

If the Spurs had lost one more game there wouldn't have been a coin flip -- you would have got Wemby.

So much for the exact science of tanking.

And he is 2 years away at least.

Getting this one started early to avoid any cursed game threads being started

OP's RIGA TIME will guarantee victory.

Also, I am drunk. So everyone is warned about ridiculous things I may say.

[jjspur]

This is a very winnable game if pop doesn't play his load management / mind games to motivate the players.

[jeebus]

Spurs might double down here and still try to keep Wemby from touching the ball

[tbdog]

Spurs could go 4/68 this season, just as long as we beat these cunts.

[larrychen21]

PM me if anyone is interested in 2 row 11 seats for tonight (section 24). Face value is $422 per ticket plus fees (another ~20%) and I can do 300 per ticket with no fee.

[baseline bum]

Amen wil be great tbh. The rest meh :lol

Was expecting a lot out of Jabari Smith seeing him in the summer league but WTF was that first game against Orlando? Ouch. Think he'll probably end up pretty good though with a real coach there now.

Jabari Smith will be good but he ain't a centerpiece.

Victor Oladipo SG
Tari Eason PF

[spurs10]

https://media.tenor.com/4JsCKo2u1cQAAAAd/san-antonio-spurs-keldon-johnson.gif Yeah that bellowing will help......as he runs the ball into a line of opponents going for the touchdown.

[Chinook]

Better match-up for Wemby. We'll see if Houston tries to change strategy to get him in foul trouble.

[3&D_TBH]

Let's fuckin go!!!!!!!!!!!

[Splits]

Spurs could go 4/68 this season, just as long as we beat these cunts.

and 10 ties?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Eager to watch Wemby for a full game, practically played preseason minutes last game. I expect him to be super aggressive offensively out the gates tonight.

[r0drig0lac]

easy for Wemby

[spurraider21]

andre miller would have been ridiculous with wemby

[emanueldavidginobili]

Holy fuck this team is inept when it comes to missing this giant lmao

[thiste]

Yes! Just throw it to the basket, he's gonna get it! That's what we want to see!

[tbdog]

and 10 ties?
I'm a retard.

[JPB]

Give the ball to Victor every freaking play.

[onechance87]

wemby gets himself open for a lob....We gotta get those

[GB20]

Let’s go spurs!

[spurraider21]

he's gotta stop pulling up for 28 foot threes in transition with 19 on the clock. he did that a lot in the preseason, just not a good decision

this guy will be able to get cleaner looks than that from 3 every possession just with a simple pick and pop

[Cry Havoc]

Given the ease with which he can get above defenses, Wemby could end up averaging 30ppg in his prime. Dude is going to have so many options to get gimme buckets every single game once we figure out how to pass it to him. Combine that with 3s and his excellent FT shooting and the mind boggles at what his prime stats may be. 32/11/6 with 4 blocks and 1.5 steals per is entirely possible IMO.

[Uriel]

Lots of empty lower bowl seats on a Friday night. San Antonio crowd back to normal after just one game.

[LeBowen]

he's gotta stop pulling up for 28 foot threes in transition with 19 on the clock. he did that a lot in the preseason, just not a good decision

this guy will be able to get cleaner looks than that from 3 every possession just with a simple pick and pop

Agreed, call me a boomer, but I don't want 7'3 player shooting transition 3s.

[thiste]

shots not falling early unfortunately, otherwise we're good

[Pauleta14]

NONE of them seem to wanna make play for Wemby... NONE!!!

Ridiculous

[Splits]

love Sean calling out every time they miss VW open

[spurraider21]

Agreed, call me a boomer, but I don't want 7'3 player shooting transition 3s.
his height has nothing to do with it. its just a low quality shot for him, and its not like he's a curry/klay shooter where even a sub-optimal 3 is a good shot. the only guys on our team who should be thinking about shots like that are vassell and mcdermott

[CGD]

Wonder how long until Pop starts Tre, and moves Keldon to the bench.

[LeBowen]

NONE of them seem to wanna make play for Wemby... NONE!!!

Ridiculous

I'd say that it's about being way harder to incorporate a new player, especially one as unique as Victor, into the offense when you don't have an actual point guard.

[Russ]

The only place in America where there are empty seats when Wemby plays is . . . SA.

(Hopefully he won't notice that.)

[poopbox]

This teams rebounding is awful. Going to cost them games if it doesn't get it figured out.

[Cry Havoc]

Getting killed on the boards right now

[emanueldavidginobili]

Offense is about to look a lot more smoother when Tre comes in.

[chunticakes]

Anyone know where I can stream the game??

[thiste]

Osman really easy player to like

[Splits]

Splitter is an assistant in Houston?

[td4mvp2k]

sochan looking way better today

[Cry Havoc]

Remember: Pop doesn't care much about the reg season. Either we're a playoff team or we aren't. Either way, these games, especially early season games, are just a continuation of the preseason. it's a way to experiment with Wemby and see what he can do at a high level already. And keeping him healthy obviously. Some of his shots aren't going to be ideal by design.

[poopbox]

I really dont like that call in the nba. Van Fleet did not even try to make the shot...he just ran right into the defender and tossed the ball in the air. Never made sense why if you are not actually trying to make a shot its called a shooting foul.

[Pauleta14]

Wemby is forcing his shots bc of them. It’s ridiculous

you don’t have to be elite PG to make an easy lob of pass at the elbow

[Cry Havoc]

BOBAN VS VICTOR LETS GOOOO

[Uriel]

The offense just runs a lot smoother with Tre running the show.

[Cry Havoc]

The offense just runs a lot smoother with Tre running the show.

He's got a lot more experience relatively speaking and is a more traditional point.

The mouth waters at a 6'9 player throwing lobs to Victor with regularity though.

[BackHome]

Just remember this is the Houston team that lost theirt first game by over 30 points

[Pauleta14]

This Sochan PG's experiment needs to stop

[poopbox]

How on earth Branham shoot a brick like that on a floater :lol

[spurraider21]

its good that branham has the junk game to go to when things arent smooth, but it seems like his entire arsenal is junk game

[timtonymanu]

The 3 ball ain’t falling but it’s like their only offensive strategy so far?

[spurraider21]

wemby has to set a better screen for vassell there. you are down to about 6 on the clock. cant set a half-hearted screen and then just stand 5 feet away from him

[Russ]

The Spurs need to get the ball to Wemby down low way more.

Not to post up, not to hook shot, not to bank shot.

They just need to get him the ball within 5 feet of the basket -- at that point, it's over.

Surely, that will become apparent and become de rigueur over time.

[Uriel]

I remember our pre-draft scouting reports had Vassell's ceiling pegged as Danny Green. He's already shown flashes that he can be so much more.

[spurraider21]

I remember our pre-drafr scouting reports had Vassell's ceiling pegged as Danny Green. He's already shown flashes that he can be so much more.
there is no shot his ceiling was danny green :lol

edit

just checked and you are right :wow

[emanueldavidginobili]

Coaching staff has to start being some what creative getting Wemby shots. Tall order for this coaching staff but goodness get this guy in some actions

[Uriel]

Sengun is the new Scola :cry

[playbonner15]

I remember our pre-draft scouting reports had Vassell's ceiling pegged as Danny Green. He's already shown flashes that he can be so much more.
I see the Penny Hardaway comparisons

[Russ]

Sengun is the new Scola :cry

He'll never win a Gold Medal.

[poopbox]

Pop can't be seriously trying to win playing keldon and McDermott at the same time

[playbonner15]

Agree. I saw the Bucks the other night and they have plays and double screens for Lillard this early

[LakerHater]

Pop has wemby out on the perimeter way too much

[KingKev]

Yo i’m trynna rock a Spurs cowboy hat real talk

[Knoxxx]

This is hot garbage, empty bench put in Champagnie, Mamu, Barlow anyone but the bums that have played so far.

[Chinook]

I remember our pre-draft scouting reports had Vassell's ceiling pegged as Danny Green. He's already shown flashes that he can be so much more.

He can be more, but he's not even Danny Green yet. Prime Danny would be comfortably the second-best player on the team. He might even be keeping to top chair warm for Wemby. Devin can be more than a three-and-D guy, but he's not even that right now.

[Knoxxx]

Man these refs come off the dumb travel call so lame.

[spurraider21]

He can be more, but he's not even Danny Green yet. Prime Danny would be comfortably the second-best player on the team. He might even be keeping to top chair warm for Wemby. Devin can be more than a three-and-D guy, but he's not even that right now.
no.

i probably love danny as much as anybody except you. and yes, danny was miles, miles better defender than vassell is. and his transition defense is truly stuff of legend.

vassell isnt an aspiring 3&D player. maybe that was his draft profile, but we're past that. he's being expected to be an offense generator, and he's pretty good at that. danny wasnt even asked to put more than 2 dribbles together before turning it over.

ill grant that danny was a better 3&D player than vassell has been so far, but thats like saying bonner was a better 3 point specialist than wemby

[timtonymanu]

3 clank. 3 clank.

[Cry Havoc]

So, our ball handling and passing in set offenses is really good.

It's absolutely awful when a play breaks down and we have to improvise. Guys throw passes in random spots and cutters don't know what to do.

Trademark of an extremely young team but still worrisome.

[BackHome]

Danny was a great defender but the dude could not dribble the ball for his life - I used to laugh and question how anyone could make it in the NBA without the ability to keep there dribble

[CorrectCrusader]

Keldon is having a great game so far, tough shooting night for the guys but his defense has been great

[onechance87]

our offence cant get it going

[Splits]

where the fuck is VW? 11 minutes?

[timtonymanu]

Zollins is “earning” that new contract so far. King of getting scored on

[CorrectCrusader]

Keldon is having a great game so far, tough shooting night for the guys but his defense has been great

as I say that lmao

[poopbox]

He can be more, but he's not even Danny Green yet. Prime Danny would be comfortably the second-best player on the team. He might even be keeping to top chair warm for Wemby. Devin can be more than a three-and-D guy, but he's not even that right now.

Danny Green who spent his entire nba career not being able to dribble in a straight line, and who went completely in the tank on offense when we got LMA cause he was such a bad passer, would be our second best player

Best defender sure. If Danny Green is your second best player you are the worst team in the nba easily.

[Cry Havoc]

Keldon's 3 point shot is pretty inconsistent. If you've ever talked to a shooting coach, they warn you against "cocking" your shot, which is what he just did. Hope that's just a one off because if it's not he won't be near 35% from deep this year.

[SpursFan86]

Collins playing like garbage tonight

[timtonymanu]

Even the rockets offense is less ugly than this. Spurs are just Bryn forbesing every possession right now

[td4mvp2k]

well this season is no question a season of developing and learning before anything else

[emanueldavidginobili]

Can't believe Jeff Green is still getting run in the NBA, impressive as hell and he went through heart surgery at one point while he was on the Celtics. Drafted in 2007 crazy.

[spursparker9]

Chet with 10 rebs and 5 blks in 1st half in OKC game

[onechance87]

pop get wemby back in wtf

[timtonymanu]

well this season is no question a season of developing and learning before anything else

Anyone who thought instantly this was a playoff team is delusional. I was expecting more of this. They might still make the play-in but this current version isn’t going to cut it.

[GB20]

We have to communicate better on the defense end.

[Spurs Homer]

Cmon pop

play the fucking unicorn

[spurraider21]

wemby gonna wind up with less minutes than game 1?

[poopbox]

Collins playing like garbage tonight

It's not really his fault. Keldon, McDermott, and Osman are so bad on defense Collins is constantly out of position.

[Dex]

Rebounding is going to kill this team

[spurs10]

Did we draft Wemby?

[Spurs Homer]

Thanks pop

1:27 play time

fucking asshole

[Robz4000]

This is the worst rebounding team I've ever seen.

[spurs10]

Oh je 's on for the lat 90 seconds!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what's with this intermittent playing time management BS with wemby?

[poopbox]

Like look at this beyond stupid defense by Osman. He shades Smith to one side which allows him to just walk to the rim. Just stupid, Its like our players have absolutely no clue how to play logical nba defense. I wonder what our coaches actually teach on that end. Our positioning is always terrible on the defensive end.

[Robz4000]

Wemby at the 5 :wow

[timtonymanu]

When I see Sengun, I get pissed thinking we wasted that pick on Primo.

[3&D_TBH]

really really frustrating half. Why wemby back for just a minute and a half? wtf

[spurraider21]

turns out wemby should play

[LeBowen]

When I see Sengun, I get pissed thinking we wasted that pick on Primo.

PATFO really got exposed with that one.

[spursparker9]

Wemby took too many difficult shots in the 1st quarter. Think Pop just wanna let him calm down and cool his head.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs can easily win this if they stop bullshitting

[jeebus]

Really hope Wemby joins a team in a few years that can unlock his potential.

[BackHome]

Pop did the right thing benching Wemby he was jacking up 3 balls and looked kind of gassed

[3&D_TBH]

We aren't able to let wemby get in flow at all. frustrating

[RC_Drunkford]

Everytime Wemby plays the 5 with Osman at the 4 we make a run. Same thing against Dallas in the 4th

[spurraider21]

Really hope Wemby joins a team in a few years that can unlock his potential.
#1 overall pick draft and stash

[spurraider21]

Pop did the right thing benching Wemby he was jacking up 3 balls and looked kind of gassed
no problem with benching him. the problem was keeping him benched as long as he did as the rockets were going on a run and hammering us on the glass

[SpursFan86]

Nice finish to the half. Let Wemby play for fucks sake.

[Splits]

2 bench players had as many minutes as VW. Insanity.

[FkLA]

Chet with 10 rebs and 5 blks in 1st half in OKC game

Chet owns Wemby?

[KingKev]

OP's RIGA TIME will guarantee victory.

Also, I am drunk. So everyone is warned about ridiculous things I may say.

haha talk that talk!!!!

[CGD]

Rebounding is going to kill this team

Couldn’t agree more. Pop is clearly using Wemby as a perimeter disrupter on D (which is cool), but the rest of the team has to be ready to rebound at the rim.

[3&D_TBH]

no problem with benching him. the problem was keeping him benched as long as he did as the rockets were going on a run and hammering us on the glass this tbh

[spurs10]

When I see Sengun, I get pissed thinking we wasted that pick on Primo. Yes the FO really exposed themselves on tha one.

[onechance87]

Wemby took too many difficult shots in the 1st quarter. Think Pop just wanna let him calm down and cool his head.

will his team puts him in diffucult situations to score

[3&D_TBH]

Fred Van Fucko has a really punchable face

[KingKev]

It's not really his fault. Keldon, McDermott, and Osman are so bad on defense Collins is constantly out of position.

Preach. Collins is covering the whole damn floor and making up for others mistakes.

[Barfunk]

Operation "Get Wembanyama to LA" in full effect by the NBA via letting him know he'll get no calls in SA lol

[Pauleta14]

I don't understand how leaving Wemby impovisving for so long is good for him or the team.

It's as if he didnt spend one month training with them...

[timtonymanu]

Fred Van Fucko has a really punchable face

Not more than Dillon brooks though

[td4mvp2k]

dont expect VW to avg 30 mins they aint gonna force him down teams throats his first yr

[Splits]

3 minutes into the 3rd, time to rest VW until the 4th.

[baseline bum]

Since when is getting fouled on an alley oop not a shooting foul? :pctoss

[BackHome]

Yeah, I think Wemby will average around 22 minutes and play very few back to backs

[Robz4000]

Spurs are incapable of securing a rebound.

[spurraider21]

zollins having the worst game ive seen him play in a spurs uniform

[3&D_TBH]

Zach, please stop shooting and pass for fuck's sake

[Barfunk]

Yeah, I think Wemby will average around 22 minutes and play very few back to backs

Fucking stupid if so...

[tim_duncan_fan]

"Trade Keldon," they say.

NO.

His game is still growing.

[spurraider21]

Zach, please stop shooting and pass for fuck's sake
eh, if he's open in a catch and shoot situation he's gotta take it

[3&D_TBH]

Not more than Dillon brooks though :lol for sure

[3&D_TBH]

eh, if he's open in a catch and shoot situation he's gotta take it
Yea, you're right now that I think about it. :lol

[onechance87]

zach turning into doug

[3&D_TBH]

"Trade Keldon," they say.

NO.

His game is still growing. Yup. Seems like every time I get frustrated with KJ he more than redeems himself

[poopbox]

Sengun is such a douche he instinctively flopped when he bobbled the ball all by himself

[Robz4000]

:lol Collins is doing nothing right out there

[SPURt]

Cedí is gonna be a good Spur

[Barfunk]

So Pop's really gonna do the song and dance with Wemby huh... smh

[jeebus]

Nothing gets my dick harder than our 2 biggest guys chucking 3 balls and missing all of them.

[Barfunk]

Tre Jones, not a soul near him for several light-years, CLANK.

[timtonymanu]

Tre Jones had forever to set that up and I still knew he would miss

[poopbox]

I think Branham should have the backup 2 spot. Pop is probably going to spend more time than he needs cycling people through that spot though.

[3&D_TBH]

One thing is clear, Malakai was a hit in the draft. Could be deadly in a year or so...

[CGD]

Malaki is a bucket.
Not Zach’s night tonight.
Thank goodness for Cedi

[Fireball]

7-3 :lol

[Pauleta14]

It was Wemby's only 2nd PF and he takes him out straight?? smh

[KingKev]

This is going to be a long season. Old man needs to go. Sochan is actually good when played in his natural position. Coach Pop trynna make boys look like girls out here. Fuck boys look like real nigghas.

[baseline bum]

Damn already looking like one of those burn the tape kind of games. Wish they'd try to run some plays for Vic to get some midrange shots.

[SPURt]

Wow, this is fun :lol

[jeebus]

Lmaooooooooooooo what a team

[rascal]

Why are people wanting the spurs to win?

I want the spurs to land a top 3 draft pick and get another future star.

[LeBowen]

Alright, this is borderline unwatchable.

[3&D_TBH]

Cedi is emerging as a strong rotation piece

[Barfunk]

Not saying we can't fix things, it's a long season, but we just look way too rag-tag out there. Couple that with it looking like Pop is going to do the needless song and dance with our 19 year old #1 draft pick, yeah....

[Seventyniner]

Haven't most of these guys played together before? They are committing so many stupid turnovers.

I'm not sure if there's room in a decent rotation for both Osman and McDermott, and I certainly don't like seeing them on the floor together.

[Leetonidas]

Terrible coaching tonight

[Mr. Peabody]

Wemby needs to get over himself.

[LeBowen]

Cedi-Doug-Malaki is as bad defensively as those Patty-Bryn-Marco lineups were.

[spurraider21]

wemby has played just under 18 minutes through 3 quarters despite no foul trouble

any popsuckers gonna do some damage control?

[3&D_TBH]

Haven't most of these guys played together before? They are committing so many stupid turnovers.

I'm not sure if there's room in a decent rotation for both Osman and McDermott, and I certainly don't like seeing them on the floor together.
Seems like Cedi is easily the better of the two. He makes way more hustle plays at least

[baseline bum]

Damn I hope this team gets a good point in the draft. Sochan's talent feels wasted trying to play this position.

[freetiago]

Free Wembenyama tbh

[onechance87]

sum stupid turnovers wow

[spurraider21]

a lineup without wemby, vassell, keldon, collins, or even Tre to at least try running some offense

bravo pop

cant wait to see the game grades. cant even pad pop's grade with bullshit "heady passes" superlatives

[Texas_Ranger]

Why are people wanting the spurs to win?

I want the spurs to land a top 3 draft pick and get another future star.

Oh yes, cause the Spurs are so good at drafting stars. Lol

[3&D_TBH]

wemby has played just under 18 minutes through 3 quarters despite no foul trouble

any popsuckers gonna do some damage control? Difficult to see how Vic doesn't get frustrated with this shit eventually

[poopbox]

Haven't most of these guys played together before? They are committing so many stupid turnovers.

I'm not sure if there's room in a decent rotation for both Osman and McDermott, and I certainly don't like seeing them on the floor together.

Yeah Osman is the superior ball handler and passer. But this is what I am talking about when a 70 year old is running things. Any other team would have doug not playing or have traded him. It's like Pop never saw Osman play before.

[RC_Drunkford]

Terrible coaching tonight

you mean the past 6 years

[baseline bum]

Alright, Victor up at the scorer's table to check in for his five minute rotation.

[spurraider21]

keldon jumping early when brooks has no dribble and shot clock about to expire... christ

Alright, Victor up at the scorer's table to check in for his five minute rotation.

That's generous. I'm saying 4 minutes until Pop can't control himself anymore and pulls Wemby to have him further get over himself.

[timtonymanu]

Wide open 3 miss

[jeebus]

Oh yes Collins, keep shooting that 3. I'm so close!

[Fireball]

Vassell being a no show in the 2nd half ...

[Robz4000]

:rollin 35 three-point attempts

[poopbox]

spurs legend reggie bullock

[spurraider21]

as bad as he's been, Collins needs this mindset when he finds himself wide open from 3

:lol

[SPURt]

How is Wemby getting no touches again?

[baseline bum]

CROFL this offense. Yeah just jack up a three off the dribble Tre

[spurraider21]

CROFL this offense. Yeah just jack up a three off the dribble Tre
with ample time on the clock

[Rosewood]

Hope we can draft Wemby some good teammates in the next few years. Christ this shit is unwatchable.

There’s the good stuff

[spursparker9]

Lol That midget acting tough

[freetiago]

Collins just gets scored on every possession then chucks up a 3 on the other end

[CGD]

All this 3 chucking makes me miss some good ole fashion DDR elbow midrange game.

[rascal]

Collins just gets scored on every possession then chucks up a 3 on the other end

Collins is weak

[onechance87]

man this offence

[baseline bum]

JFC run a play to get Victor a 16 footer or something instead of giving him the ball at the three point line every time. He ain't got the handle to be isolating from there. How fucking hard can it to be to run him off a screen and get him the ball at the elbow for a quick turnaround?

[spursparker9]

Zach making Sengun looks like 2nd coming of Jokic

[3&D_TBH]

Lol That midget acting tough Like I said earlier, he has the most punchable face. Can't stand that lil fucker

[Robz4000]

Pop and the Spurs need to do each other a favor and part ways at the end of the season tbh.

[Spurs Homer]

Instead of subbing vw again…

pop needs to call every time out he can to keep giving vw quick breaks until vw gets his nba legs/lungs

[spurraider21]

its not pop to give wemby more structure. they need to define parameters by which he can look for his shot. in transition? if he's holding the ball, yeah, let him get wild with the dribble. if not, rim run and have to keep emphasizing the lobs to him

in halfcourt, he needs to set better screens. pick and pop 3's, hard rolls. otherwise, some off-ball action to get him in triple threat position in midrange.

instead everything just looks improvised

[Pauleta14]

I'm sad fo Wemby

This roster is a joke and Pop isn't Pop anymore, he's like a college coach at best

[Cry Havoc]

The rockets play some of the ugliest ball of any team I've seen in a long time. Would be shocked if they make the play in.

[CorrectCrusader]

YOU ARE TOO FUCKING SMALL CHUMP

[spursparker9]

Godlike move by Wemby!

[poopbox]

Victor said ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT:wow

[CGD]

How is Wemby getting no touches again?

Honestly a lot of it is on him. He seems to like to camp out on the perimeter a lot (which makes it easy on the D). I know he wants to be a guard but his handle still needs a lot of work at this level to be successful as a wing player.

I did like his aggression to start the game tho.

[Robz4000]

Wemby is fucking good though, no discussion there.

[jeebus]

Why the fuck isn't Wemby shooting 3s? Poop needs to pull his ass

[td4mvp2k]

:lol jabari

[Seventyniner]

I really would like to see Wemby play more in the paint on defense. Not because of some anachronistic "big men belong in the paint" mindset, but instead because contesting layups is far more valuable from an efficiency standpoint than contesting jumpers. A team with Wemby really shouldn't be giving up that many easy layups.

[Robz4000]

:lmao and now Pop benches him

[KingKev]

Pop is fucking horrid

[Leetonidas]

Is pop really subbing Wemby out? :lmao

[Cry Havoc]

I'm sad fo Wemby

:cry :cry :cry

He's 19, this is the youngest team in the league, and you are whining because were aren't in position to win a title in his first season.

This team would be better off without "fans" like you.

[Fireball]

not sure Wemby can handle more minutes ... he is invisible on defense already

[poopbox]

Man they called timeout I legit thought Pop was taking Victor out again. Was about to lose my shit :lol

The issue is that the other players have been missing easy rotations and giving up wide open threes.
