Game Thread: Spurs @ Clippers - Oct 29th 8 PM CT (3 AM Riga Time)

[RC_Drunkford]

The Clippers don't have good spacing with Zubac and Westbrook being non-shooters. Hope to see Pop play some zone tonight. The young guys should go under the screen when Westbrook got the ball everytime. I expect Sochan on Nephew and Vassell on Paul George. Keldon should be guarding Westbrook with Wemby on Covington. RoCo is a shell of his former self and hasn't shot it well so far. Their bench ain't the strongest, but we gotta watch out for Powell and Hyland. Let's get this W

Will be at the game tonight, need to see this freak of nature in person. GSG tbh.

Make sure you call nephew a bitch

[Mr. Body]

Next three games could be rough, with Clippers in LA and Suns twice in Phoenix, in the NBA's brilliant idea of having home-and-home sets.

Clippers took care of a fairly bad Portland team then somehow lost to a Jazz team who got blown out by the Kings and then blown out last night to a Suns team with only Durant.

The Spurs will need to shoot better than they did against the Rockets and somehow control the two big SFs. The Houston game doesn't give me much optimism. Hopefully they can keep it close.

[slick'81]

Fckn nephew is back

[Cabrito]

There is a part of me that feels they will begin to relax on the road. They were hyped up at home and seemed to play to the moment instead of just playing ball

[Degoat]

Will be an interesting matchup, Clippers play small minus Zubac. Wemby will have to guard one of PG or T Mann

[JPB]

I don't remember Victor taking a 3 in the 2nd half+OT, which is a good thing. Hope he continues tonight and focus on getting closer to the rim.

yeah I think this stretch will be really telling. Gotta hope they can carve out a win against those teams

[spursparker9]

Hope Wemby dunk on Nephew

[scott]

Will be there tonight as well. Row C baseline, GSG!

[Mugen]

Make sure you call nephew a bitch

Hopefully Dennis is around tbh

[TimmehC]

Man I really wish I wasn't working til 10 or I'd try to make this one. Tell Kawhi he's washed up for me.

[KingKev]

I hit Spurs +300 on the ML!!!

GSG. We know Pop will be out to win tonight.

[JPB]

Will be there tonight as well. Row C baseline, GSG!

Don't let Wemby dunk on you.

[RC_Drunkford]

I hit Spurs +300 on the ML!!!

GSG. We know Pop will hug Kawhi tonight.

FIFY

[John B]

Spurs injuries: None

Clippers injuries: Brandon Boston Jr. – Out (left quadricep,) Terrance Mann – Out (left ankle,) Marcus Morris Sr. – Out (coach’s decision)

Fuck Kawhi. Go Spurs Go! :flag::flag::flag:

[Russ]

Will be there tonight as well. Row C baseline, GSG!

Sounds like Jimmy Goldstein territory.

I'll be in 102 behind the Spurs.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs injuries: None

Clippers injuries: Brandon Boston Jr. – Out (left quadricep,) Terrance Mann – Out (left ankle,) Marcus Morris Sr. – Out (coach’s decision)

Fuck Kawhi. Go Spurs Go! :flag::flag::flag:

Morris getting a DNP CD before the game even starts? Wonder what that's about

[KingKev]

FIFY

hahah Pop makes sports gambling tough. I did hit a parlay at +700 on the Rockets game that Pop almost fucked up:

Wemby +20 pts
Wemby +2.5 blks
Spurs Win

[poopbox]

Spurs injuries: None

Clippers injuries: Brandon Boston Jr. – Out (left quadricep,) Terrance Mann – Out (left ankle,) Marcus Morris Sr. – Out (coach’s decision)

Fuck Kawhi. Go Spurs Go! :flag::flag::flag:

Morris straight up getting DNP's :lol

[Spurs Homer]

Good to see mann is out - he seems to be one of those scrubs that becomes a dream teamer vs the spurs...

[objective]

Who guards Kawhi, George and Westbrook?

Is it going to be Sochan - Kawhi, Vassel - George, and Keldon - Westbrook?

[DAF86]

Will Pop play Wemby more than 23 minutes? I doubt it.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I am going to explode when Vic blocks #2.

[RC_Drunkford]

Who guards Kawhi, George and Westbrook?

Is it going to be Sochan - Kawhi, Vassel - George, and Keldon - Westbrook?

I assume the same. Wemby - Covington, Collins - Zubac

[John B]

I see the following match up’s

Keldon > Westbrick
Vassell = George
Sochan < Kawhi
Wemby > Covington
Collins =< Zubac

[Fireball]

I hope Wemby will have a more efficient shooting game ... those transition threes have to stop.

[onechance87]

I hope Wemby will have a more efficient shooting game ... those transition threes have to stop.

yeah....odd he keeps shooting them

[rascal]

I see the following match up’s

Keldon > Westbrick
Vassell = George
Sochan < Kawhi
Wemby > Covington
Collins =< Zubac

George > Vassell , Zubac > Collins, Keldon = Westbrook, Kawhi > Sochan and Wemby >> Covington

[Seventyniner]

Will be at the game tonight, need to see this freak of nature in person. GSG tbh.

Bring a sign that says 1 > 2

[Fireball]

yeah....odd he keeps shooting them

Pop really keeps him on a long leash ... I think Wemby takes those especially when he does not get involved in several offensive possessions in a row

[blizz]

Is there a way to watch a replay? I will not be here to watch

[Splits]

Clippers by 30

[Splits]

Usually a few hours but can take up to 24 sometimes. No commercials makes them great.

[spurs10]

Spurs aren't expected to win any of the next few games so it's playing with house money. Just hope we see some of that incredible Wemby action along the way and his teammates play hard.

[Dverde]

I have this as a lose assuming nephew was playing. I think there will be a Wemby/Zubac moment. Zubac will go at him for sure.

Let's get the L. I want a top 5 draft pick from this season. Have some patience people.

Have to get that top star pg from the draft.

[LeBowen]

Let's get the L. I want a top 5 draft pick from this season. Have some patience people.

Have to get that top star pg from the draft.

Fuck that.
Would take a ridiculous amount of tanking to have top5 odds unless major injury disaster strikes.

Got the most picks and cap space in the league, can't draft like a dozen more players in the next 3 years.

It's already obvious that Victor and Devin need to be 1A/1B for this team. Then it's just about figuring out who's good enough to play next to them.
Then it's about going for the next disgruntled star that fits the roster.

Hoping for a solid showing today, I hope we see some 1 on 1 matchups between Victor and PG/nephew.

Spurs will never be contenders with Devin as the number 2 option. He isn't good enough to be on a contending team as the 2nd best player.

[MultiTroll]

It's not the battle of geniuses Pop n Doc, but could still be a good one.

[Chinook]

I'd much rather Wemby show so much that the Spurs can't tank again than for them to get another top-five pick. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love them to lose the play-in and win the lotto. I'm just saying you can buy a second star. You still have to make your first one.

Wemby will be fine. He's going to need that 2nd star who isn't currently on the roster and the draft is where the Spurs will get him. It's going to take a top draft pick to get that type of player.

They won't trade for an all star caliber player. The front office builds through the draft.

[RC_Drunkford]

Let's get the L. I want a top 5 draft pick from this season. Have some patience people.

Have to get that top star pg from the draft.

we could just trade 8 draft picks for Shaedon Sharpe

[Pauleta14]

Are there any potential elite PG pojected in the next draft?

If yes how many?

[Pauleta14]

btw I can't reply with quote...

When I click " reply with quote" I just get a blank space.

Anyone can help me pls?

Closest thing is Isaiah Collier, but so far he's not convincing as a go-to scorer. We'll have to see what happens in the NCAA season.

Random assumptions. The Spurs will make a move to acquire a star if the need arises. They've shown that. Whether it was going in on O'Neal/Kidd, making the move for Aldridge or securing DeRozan/Walker trade, the Spurs are totally willing to make the necessary moves to build around their stars. It'd be irrational of the Spurs to get all these picks with the goal of tanking for their star. Those picks will have to be traded. They won't all be traded, and there's no timeline for when a trade would happen. But it makes zero sense to assume the Spurs wouldn't be like every other team that wasn't fortunate enough to luck into two stars in back-to-back drafts.

[spurraider21]

Big lineup starting again

[Dejounte]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMxVeI1W51M

Pop says Sidy has big thighs and a big butt and that he can be an elite defender. High praise

[CorrectCrusader]

I want Wemby to volleyball spike Kawhis shot

[cutewizard]

hi guys, any links pls

[CorrectCrusader]

Wemby killing it already

[heyheymymy]

can't wait to see Wemby with even just 20 games of spurs system under his belt

sochan caught on fast last year, Wemby is getting better every game

[heyheymymy]

lol nephew

[stephen jackson]

Why can’t we fucking rebound man

[Dejounte]

Zach is useless out there man

[JPB]

Easy shots missed.

[Dejounte]

Why can’t we fucking rebound man

Because Zach has zero defensive awareness. He’s constantly ball watching and puts no effort in boxing out

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan try not to throw the ball to wemby every time he's at the 3 point line (IMPOSSIBLE EDITION)

[Barfunk]

God dammit lol

[stephen jackson]

Zach is garbage wemby needa start at center or bassey we need to rebound

[DesignatedT]

Sochan at PG sucks

[JPB]

Put Tre out there, Sochan is lost at PG.

[Degoat]

I love Sochan but this thing with him at PG I’m not feeling it

[TekXX]

This Sochan nonsense has failed Pop

[LeBowen]

I kinda feel bad for Jeremy. He improved a lot, but playing him out of position makes it look like he's horrible.

[BatManu20]

Sochan stinkin’ it up out there tbh. He’s not a PG.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Please end the sochan pg experiment, it’s not good for anyone including him. And can somebody rebound the ball my god

[td4mvp2k]

looking like a blowout by clipps

[onechance87]

sochan gotta do better

[Uriel]

:lol

[$pursDynasty]

What is Sochan good for in starting lineup?

[Obstructed_View]

These graphics on the Clippers feed are the worst.

[couchman]

I can’t believe y’all are blaming Sochan when Wemby has been so bad on offense so far

[td4mvp2k]

What is Sochan good for in starting lineup?
def not playing the point

[spursparker9]

:lol PG is the hardest position tbh, especially in NBA. Pop thinking Sochan can adapt quickly is unrealistic

[BatManu20]

Wemby with zero shot attempts 4 minutes into the game. Same as last game. He needs to be more aggressive.

[Spurs Homer]

Vassell = deer in headlights

[CorrectCrusader]

Feels like Wemby has butter fingers, doesn't make sense with this big ass hands

[ace3g]

Vassell, can't be careless with the ball.

[TekXX]

Lol It's going to be one of those games.

[SpursFan86]

For fucks sake, stop turning the ball over

[td4mvp2k]

:lol pathetic

[Barfunk]

We need to rest Wemby so he's able to play his farwell game in 2044.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Full line change this is embarrassing. Every possession is a god damn TO

[Rosewood]

Collins is absolutely clueless on both ends. Truly awful.

[r0drig0lac]

ugly...

[BatManu20]

Every possession is a turnover so far :lol. Spurs getting their shit pushed in early.

[JPB]

Wemby with zero shot attempts 4 minutes into the game. Same as last game. He needs to be more aggressive.

He needs a real PG. Victor can get the freaking ball in good position. I mean 5 Tos.

[Splits]

3 oReb and 5 TO, nice boys

[td4mvp2k]

Collins is absolutely clueless on both ends. Truly awful.
this guys supposed to man the paint... good luck with that.

[onechance87]

pop has terrible lineups

[couchman]

Collins is getting eaten alive

[weebo]

Zach C:lolllins

[JPB]

We're winning this.

[Spurs Homer]

Collins is making sure the spurs regret that contract extension immediately

[TekXX]

Who gave Zach the green light to jack every three he sees? Surely it wasn't pop?

[YoungbuckMurray]

Get collins off the floor he’s a joke tonight

[KDKSpurs24]

Big 1st quarter leads usually never last so I’m not worried right now but it’s concerning how dumb this team is. Low ball IQs all around..

[JPB]

lol Zollins

[BatManu20]

Zollins now 0/12 from 3 on the season :lol

[Big Empty]

Collins is completely useless. Cant rebound, cant play D and cant score

[JPB]

Zollins now 0/12 from 3 on the season :lol

Staying confident :lol

[Barfunk]

Osman's been nailing some

[CorrectCrusader]

Osman is the 2nd best player on this team lol

[couchman]

Collins has a good 3pt stroke. It will happen eventually
Wemby still playing poorly.
Almost no one is playing well

[ace3g]

Terrible TO by Wemby.

[couchman]

Osman only guy ready to play

[TekXX]

Damn Cedi keeping us in it.

[SPURt]

Cedi!!

[ace3g]

Osman B2B 3s!!!

[Spurs Homer]

Good for pop

realizing wemby needs a quick breather and then back in…as opposed to leaving him sitting until the next qtr

[BatManu20]

Cedi Osman has low key been an elite role player for us early in the season tbh.

[rascal]

Big 1st quarter leads usually never last so I’m not worried right now but it’s concerning how dumb this team is. Low ball IQs all around..

They will tonight.

This is the first road game of the year so I expected a poor game against a strong veteran team like the Clippers.

[Obstructed_View]

Who gave Zach the green light to jack every three he sees? Surely it wasn't pop?
Yes. It was Pop.

[Big Empty]

Bassey will be the starter soon

[Splits]

1-2-2 zone

[Spurs Homer]

Im not a branham fan…at all

[Obstructed_View]

Cedi Osman has low key been an elite role player for us early in the season tbh.
Some guys thrive in chaos. Cedi is definitely one.

[Barfunk]

Nice goaltending miss reffs

[Barfunk]

Yes. It was Pop.

Lol

[Spurs Homer]

Branham should never be on the floor with vw -

he refuses to pass it to him

[SPURt]

Why have Wemby on the floor if the Spurs are just gonna plant him on the perimeter while we get shitty drive after drive

[Obstructed_View]

Lol
Do you think I'm making that up? Pop literally said it. Zach of all people wouldn't be letting it fly like that otherwise.

[onechance87]

branham is not good

[KDKSpurs24]

Branham is SOFT

[Degoat]

Is Devonte back for this game? We need some juice and play making at the guard position desperately

[Obstructed_View]

Lol refs rewarding that.

[poopbox]

Collins has been a disaster and Bassey does absolutely nothing on the floor

[spurraider21]

Branham continues to look uncomfortable doing literally anything besides dribbling into a midrange jumper

[Spurs Homer]

Maybe try champagnie?

no one wants to win…

[Barfunk]

Do you think I'm making that up? Pop literally said it. Zach of all people wouldn't be letting it fly like that otherwise.

Lol, I wasn't hating or anything I just found the response funny. Just my sense of humor, that's all, lol.

[Splits]

1Q recap

Good news:
Pop played Wemby 2 stints, 8 minutes
Somehow only down 6

Bad news:
Everything else

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs couldn't have played a lot worse and they're only down six. Let's see if they calm down.

[spurraider21]

Zach not being a sturdy defender isn’t news. We’ve seen this for a while. Some posters found a stat supposedly saying he’s actually secretly a great rim protector but none of us ever really saw it

Nobody saw his shooting drought coming but he should snap out of that.

but this is why a lot of posters wanted the spurs to target a strong center in free agency

[Spurs Homer]

Fuck branham

[CorrectCrusader]

It makes me sick Victor isn't playing center. He could be doing so much more defensively.

[Raven]

this looks like a blowout loss

[Barfunk]

Tre is such a bad shooter

[Degoat]

Gonna be one of those games…

[CorrectCrusader]

In what world is that a blocking foul lmao he was set for literal years

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol how many times has Vassell's pocket been picked already this game

[onechance87]

Branham continues to look uncomfortable doing literally anything besides dribbling into a midrange jumper

i rather have champ in then branham....branham hits a few jumpers every now and then....other then that is useless

[Spurs Homer]

Vw nneds to shoot

[TekXX]

SS&E couldn't wait to pay all these guys.

[CorrectCrusader]

Holy fuck do these guys know how to play basketball?

[Obstructed_View]

The Spurs keep challenging rebounds in the backcourt instead of getting back on defense. Not sure how Pop hasn't gone fuckin Serbian on them for that.

[Joseph Kony]

wtf am i watching

[BatManu20]

Wemby playing soft. Needs to dominate those mismatches in the post, not pass it out to Zollins.

[couchman]

Everyone looks hesitant and Wemby and Collins are particularly bad

[SPURt]

The ugly game

[Spurs Homer]

Victor

quit passing it to zollins - he will fuck it up

[YoungbuckMurray]

This is hard to watch

[rascal]

wtf am i watching

A 22 win team trying to adjust to a future superstar player.

[Degoat]

Man they must be satisfied just beating the rockets this is bad for everyone playing

[Joseph Kony]

Collins fucking blows :lmao

[spurraider21]

Wemby had the ball in the mid post against norm powell and passed it off for a Collins floater

nobody is playing well aside from osman

Sochan rotates off powell one pass away for a 3. Defense is supposed to be his calling card but he has yet to really have a positive defensive impact thus far early in the season

[rascal]

Collins fucking blows :lmao

He shouldn't be starting

[Spurs Homer]

Maybe they are exhausted after that game 1 championship victory celebration friday night lol

[timtonymanu]

Zollins is like 0-500 from the 3 point line this season

[Cardinal]

Truly awful execution on both ends

[BatManu20]

Spurs will be lucky to score 30 by halftime at this rate :lol

[onechance87]

we are giving them the game

[Thomas82]

This is brutal to watch.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Throw it the highest you can my goodness

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan has no clue what a bounce pass is

[Chinook]

Did Bill just use the word "bitched" on television?

[Spurs Homer]

Jeez

barlow should have a shot with zollins sucking

[ace3g]

Spurs need to go through some passing angle drills...

[KDKSpurs24]

Just dish the ball to Sochan Zach!! Westbrook was sitting there waiting to take that charge for soo long!! Dumb

[KobesAchilles]

Game 3 and Sochan still sucks at PG. at what game is he going to get better by? I know I know be patient. It’s only been 3 games. Blah blah blah. Do I have to watch 30 games of this shit? An entire season? Next season too? What is a credible timeline on something so damn obvious

[widowmaker]

Those refs are trash.

[Joseph Kony]

Victor has 5 shots in 14 minutes :lmao

[BatManu20]

Nephew is cooking Sochan

[Barfunk]

Let's run the offense through Zack!

[td4mvp2k]

Victor has 5 shots in 14 minutes :lmao
pop making sure collins gets his touches

[Spurs Homer]

Tre jones faked out sochan pretty good on that turnover

[BatManu20]

Sochan looks like hot shit out there man :lol

[Spurs Homer]

Tre jones responsible for two turnovers

[onechance87]

sochan playing bad

[poopbox]

Sochan looking terrible and we running our offense through zach fucking collins :lol

[SpursFan86]

Getting ugly. Just playing so sloppily

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Just wtf are the Spurs doing? What is this crap?

[Joseph Kony]

Did Bill just use the word "bitched" on television?

he did :lol bill don't gaf anymore

[Spurs Homer]

Pop over resting vw again…

[ace3g]

Nice euro-lefty finish by Vassell!!

[SpurPadre]

Really don’t want to get curbstomped by Load Management tonight.

[CorrectCrusader]

If pop doesn't put wemby In I'm gonna fuckin blow a gasket

[couchman]

Devin playing fairly well amidst this disaster

[SPURt]

Vassell, Cedi, and Bassey can stay. The rest of you can take your poop and go

[rascal]

Nephew is cooking Sochan

Sochan is overrated on this site.

[ace3g]

If Spurs can get this to around 7-9 points before halftime, that would be a positive.

[Obstructed_View]

Definitely want to see Devin take over. This is the perfect opportunity.

[cd98]

Relax. It's their first road game and it's against two of the best defenders in the NBA at creating turnovers (Kawhi and George). This was going to be a reality check for our young guys. The goal is to just be competitive. The wins will come, but it is a process.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Vassell and Osman are solid. Keldon Johnson and Sochan are Enrique 2.0

[Barfunk]

Wemby on the bench to close the quarter and half. Very nice...

[KobesAchilles]

I really like Vassell. And Bassey too. They have a fire inside of them that actually translates to the court instead of just screaming after a wide open dunk (after giving up too many open shots of their own).

Watching them figure out how to play out of a bad start is going to be fun. Not sure what fans think happens with a young team.

[CorrectCrusader]

The fuck are these soft ass fouls

[Thomas82]

That was an extremely forgettable 1st half.

[Raven]

very hard to watch

[Joseph Kony]

If Spurs can get this to around 7-9 points before halftime, that would be a positive.
:lol welp

[Arcadian]

They had 43 points in one quarter vs Dallas...

[Seventyniner]

I'm just now tuning in. 15 turnovers in the first half, sheesh. Has it been mostly sloppy play by the Spurs?

[KingKev]

Going to be a long year but I like our young talent longer term.

[SPURt]

I’m not sure Wemby plays again tonight

[InRareForm]

vikTOr needs to limit turnovers !!

[couchman]

The worst I’ve felt at halftime in a looong time.

[rascal]

How many turnovers on the Spurs?

[Raven]

i don't remember paul george averaging 5 steals per half all that often...

[poopbox]

I really like Vassell. And Bassey too. They have a fire inside of them that actually translates to the court instead of just screaming after a wide open dunk (after giving up too many open shots of their own).

Bassey does nothing but dunk put backs and wide open passes :lol

[thiste]

Hey let's bubble wrap Victor

[LeBowen]

Tbh, I'm not sure Keldon is a better player than Cedi.

[Obstructed_View]

very hard to watch
Guess you missed last year.

[Barfunk]

I don't see the excuse where in any dimension Collins should be averaging well over the minutes that Wemby is. Smh, Pop.

[TekXX]

Going to be a long year but I like our young talent longer term.

You really want to ride with this tank squad long term? I'm not seeing improvement so ultimately the FO will need to make changes.

[Obstructed_View]

The worst I’ve felt at halftime in a looong time.
You must have sat out last year as well. :lol

[rjv]

So, is Wemby on board with 25 minutes a game?

[onechance87]

sochan may not be it at pg....but not sure tre jones is either

[Chinook]

The thought going through my head right now his how much the non-Wemby players are paper mache. As fans we want to believe our team's guys are just as good as those from other teams, but it's pretty clear the Spurs are going to have to let the majority of the roster go. Cedi is just an average-ish role-player, but he looks like superman on the team because they're all below-average. Contrary to popular belief, guys who are in their third, fourth and fifth years shouldn't be this clueless on a basketball court. It's hard not to feel like the Spurs wasted a lot of development time. Looking at Sochan struggle to learn new things while not even being effective at what he was supposed to already know just reinforces that.

[Spurs Homer]

Look at the bright side;

19 year old victor got plenty of rest!

[BackHome]

I am going to look at 2024 NBA MOCK DRAFT vids....

[daslicer]

Very frustrating to watch. I don't' care about wins and losses this year but I do want to see Victor play well. This team is filled with idiots who either don't have the IQ to make the pass to Victor or are too selfish to make the pass.

[YoungbuckMurray]

That was really ugly on offense. the D was actual not bad but so many turnovers and just no organization on offense. The few times they had it they missed open shots

[Chinook]

Pop needs to give a Jones, Vassell, Osman, Wemby, Bassey unit some real run. He also needs to give Collins more single-big minutes rather than expecting him to play off Wemby. That's not where his talents lie.

[SpurPadre]

Is this one of those “He needs to get over himself” deals tonight for Wemby?

The thought going through my head right now his how much the non-Wemby players are paper mache. As fans we want to believe our team's guys are just as good as those from other teams, but it's pretty clear the Spurs are going to have to let the majority of the roster go. Cedi is just an average-ish role-player, but he looks like superman on the team because they're all below-average. Contrary to popular belief, guys who are in their third, fourth and fifth years shouldn't be this clueless on a basketball court. It's hard not to feel like the Spurs wasted a lot of development time. Looking at Sochan struggle to learn new things while not even being effective at what he was supposed to already know just reinforces that.

yup.....u know we are a bad team if cedi is our 3rd best player on this team

Devin looks solid. Tre is decent enough on the bench. I haven’t seen posters here stating that Cedi is anything but a reliable bench player. Maliki is still an incomplete. But Keldon, Zollins and Sochan are really underwhelming at this point.

It's one of those "His conditioning needs work" nights.

He is gonna leave, first chance he gets, tbh... Don't want him to, but this shit doesn't sit well with players

[weebo]

this team needs some vets on the team...and preferably one who can run an offense

[Raven]

Guess you missed last year.

haven't watched any nba since blm happened

[BackHome]

Has Sochan even scored yet?

[Splits]

at least we're not the Rockets

What a bunch of entitled, whiny pussies you guys are. A young team doesn't go 82-0 and you have nothing to be happy about.

[Seventyniner]

Victor has 5 shots in 14 minutes :lmao

He also has 4 turnovers and 2 FTA, so he has used 11 possessions total. That's out of 56 by the team as a whole (39 FGA, 15 TO, 5 FTA which I'm assuming is 2 possessions).

That puts his USG% a shade below 20%, which is too low for who should be at worst the second-best offensive player on the team.

[couchman]

You must have sat out last year as well. :lol

I was on team tank last year so it helped salve some wounds. I don't think we should tank at all this year so...

You didn’t miss much. Unwatchable roster for nba standards much less San Antonio's previous 30 year run

Blm?

Now instead of expanding his game and trying things, Wemby will be hesitant and reluctant so he doesn't get benched... I've famously said if Pop drafted Curry, he would bench him at the first 40 foot three he took and that would be the end of the curry we know today

[TekXX]

Yea Pop that's why you tanked a whole season because you weren't that familiar with Wemby sure.....

vets are not gonna come to a rebulding team unless we overpay them or trade for them

They need a coach who's going to actually get them to play the way they're supposed to. A vet would be helpful, but it's hard to understand why Pop started Sochan even if he thought Jeremy could do it. It's much easier to promote Sochan over Jones if he earned it than bench him for Jones after showing he can't handle it. It's clear Pop should've given Sochan the second unit and let him be the play-maker there while starting a traditional lineup. Right now he has the worst of both worlds.

If Jones becomes starter, Sochan isn't going to the bench.

Clips got these guys in size and physicality. I actually think all things considering there’s a great effort out there. The refs aren’t tagging the Clips and then the Clippers are hitting ungodly shots from wherever they want. You can’t expect a bunch of young guys to compete with that. Wemby not playing is pretty aggravating though.
