Game Thread: Spurs @ Sons - Game 5 - (NBATV - 4 AM Riga Time)

[Arcadian]

So glad we don't have Eubanks anymore.

Imagine an alternate universe where we don't have Victor and still have Eubanks :lol

[td4mvp2k]

sunsfan have to be depressed as fk :lmao

[$pursDynasty]

Is there an online Spurs basketball station, too wound up to sleep would love some post-game

[TekXX]

LOL Wemby wants 40

[ducks]

19 years old

Pop is going to coach 15 more years

He will die before then
He die in shock with what Victor did on court

[Spurs9]

sunsfan have to be depressed as fk :lmao

Wheres thread?

[Rocalcio]

First rookie in NBA history to reach 38 pts and 10 rbds

[Proxy]

why didn't keldon pass to wemby there tbh

[cd98]

Suns owner can't be happy with the return on his investment tonight.

[Robz4000]

God damn, that was some impressive mettle to win after blowing that 27 point lead.

[sananspursfan21]

Shame on all of us calling for a loss halfway through the fourth. We don’t deserve Wemby.

[Barfunk]

Exclamation!

[Davidicus]

Don’t know what the play is called but Pop had Vic and Zach screening for each other down low for like 6 plays straight. We went beast mode running that.

[Arcadian]

I was prepared to say "this game was a mirror image of the last game, and I'm okay with it."

But we just fended off a serious comeback by a team with two superstars. Alright then!

[slick'81]

Wemby doesnt lose

[Russo21]

38 and 10 in 34 minutes in game 4 for the 19 year old OMG

[Kawhi Duncan]

See what happens when u give Wemby fucking shots in his spots? When you have him put up more than 12 shots a game?

[cd98]

Wemby definitely was the best player, but kudos to Collins and Sochan, guys that take a lot of nonsensical heat on this site from some posters. In particular, Sochan made a lot of great plays on offense and defense tonight. No reason to diss on a second year player.

[8FOR!3]

You can tell Durant respects the hell out of Wemby. For me it's the shots that weren't falling earlier in the game when he shoots them late in the fourth quarter he shoots them like he knows they're going in.

[Spurs Homer]

Is there an online Spurs basketball station, too wound up to sleep would love some post-game

look for sportscenter or youtube highlights as the hype and the jizz over wemby will be epic in the next two hours

[spurraider21]

I like wemby

[LeBowen]

Wemby's improvement from Dallas game to tonight is actually ridiculous.
Give him 10-15 more games and it's over.

[RC_Drunkford]

can't be mad at anybody tonight. That was almost a perfect game for 48 minutes

[spurraider21]

Sochan was good except for his heroball stretch in the first half of the fourth. Liked his defensive matchup against booker.

[Barfunk]

Could've had 40 with a cheapo there at the end but 38 niceeeee. Best of all a dubya..

[Spurs Homer]

Welcome to the NBA Wemby!!!

[8FOR!3]

Don’t know what the play is called but Pop had Vic and Zach screening for each other down low for like 6 plays straight. We went beast mode running that.

It works bc Collins can post up the smaller guy and him and Wemby are both able and willing passers. So either one guy is going to get the easy bucket or they're going to hit the open guy.

[Davidicus]

1st half was fun but had no expectations. The 10-0 run after Suns tied the game was truly impressive. We had our shit 100% together on offense and defense (figured out Book)

[BatManu20]

Wemby is fucking special. Can’t believe he’s a Spur. He could’ve easily had 45+ points if most of his teammates were selfish morons tbh.

[cd98]

Damn, I felt like Wemby would be good to average 15 points this year and the Spurs would be the worst team in the NBA. Spurs shut me up with this impressive win and Wemby, like LeBron, was as advertised. It's hard to live up to the hype, but the kid is doing it.

Collins has been killing it from 2 this season so far. It's real pick your poison with him and Wemby in the paint.

[CGD]

Amazing Wemby, wow!

Also think Sochan really got under Bookers skin there of a second which was interesting. It was nice he got that block on him late, after Books chirping.

[sananspursfan21]

My jaw pretty well stayed dropped after the game got tied at 116

My boy Zach crushed today. And, his three ball came back

Wemby following in the footsteps of another legend as a rookie

I dunno man, 38 points still on the low side…

Sochan on Booker, a recipe for getting absolutely torched

Not so fast my friend! JS defense was top notch down the stretch!

Sochan truly looked like a more athletic Diaw tonight.

[heyheymymy]

still sitting in shock at what I just witnessed

I mean Wemby was sensational but Sochan, Zollins, Vassell, Jones all looked great

[Davidicus]

I expected games like this from Victor. Just not this season!!!

[heyheymymy]

where are my offseason Jones haters at

Really freaking sucks about Dev….hope its not as bad as Pop is making it sound

Keep the massage lady away from Wemby tbh

[LaMarcus Bryant]

The 4th Q composure is already godlike

[heyheymymy]

That last 3 mins stretch in 4Q was NASTY

Spurs/Wemby just thrashed the Suns

[thiste]

I dunno man, 38 points still on the low side…

I knew he had it in him, even this early.

[stephen jackson]

Wemby might end up being the greatest spur ever wow who would have thought

[MannyIsGod]

Lololllllllllllololol

:toast

[John B]

Wemby taking big shots when the game is on the line is unreal. Damn this kid is only19? When Wemby gets strong and he would be, he’d be a modern Wilt.

[tim_duncan_fan]

How was he able to do this at only 9 years old?

[LakerHater]

how them rox fans??

[cd98]

At Wemby's age, Duncan was averaging 10 points in college.

[Spurs Homer]

No one has even mentioned the spurs defense - for stretches at least

they were locked in - in the first half especially

that starting lineup has some potential for becoming a stud defense

[SayTown]

My ST brothers and sisters. Welcome to the future.

Really freaking sucks about Dev….hope its not as bad as Pop is making it sound

Devin went out right out after Tre was laid out on the floor, I looked at the possessions right before and he seemed to be moving around fine.

[Obstructed_View]

Vic is a fuckin reptile, man. Cold blooded and clutch.

[cd98]

ESPN Top 10 without a Wemby highlight. But lots of great goals by women's college soccer.

[ducks]

10 escorts at one time ?

[ducks]

Keep the massage lady away from Wemby tbh

Lol

[SpursGenius]

What did we do do deserve Wemby? We are sone lucky ass mfers. Maybe the Kawhi bullshit gave us Wemby. In fact it fucking did actually.

[John B]

That last 6 minutes was crazy. These kids should lost with Suns rallying back, but they kept their composure even when they lost the lead, did not hang their heads, but kept exchanging punches. And finally the Suns gassed up. That was some maturity from this young core.

I’m actually glad they lost miserably to the Clips. They keyed in and got focused. And got rewarded for protecting the ball. Spurs showing maturity.

Losing Vassell is bad but it allows bringing Tre at PG. I hope Devin is okay and back next game, but this should open Pop’s eyes to get Tre early.

19 assists between Sochan and Jones with only 2 turnovers.

The turnovers last game were doing murder on my psyche. I can't relax as if we are out of the woods yet, but at least I have seen them dribble the ball a bit better now.

[Spurminator]

This could only have been sweeter if Chris Paul was still a Sun.

[DPG21920]

Sochan had a pretty damn special game IMO. He’s not the flash that Wemby or Dev is, but everything you want in a winning player is there.

[Mr. Body]

Guys like Jeremy and Devin are what help make Victor work. Hopefully we can cover for Vassell for a while.

[spurs10]

A great watch! Great game! Two in a row against some formidable opponents!

[scott]

Sochan has been pretty effective while playing the 4. While at PG, not so much. We went on our closing run when Tre came in to run the point, Sochan went to the 4 and Wemby slid to C.

[Chinook]

While I kind of like the idea of Branham starting, Graham would allow Pop to keep his rotation intact, maintain the shooting threat and give the SL the speed boost I've been asking for.

[JPB]

Keldon needs to step up but we should see Wemby drop a good chunk of 30+ games until Devin comes back.. Depends on how serious the injury is. Hopefully it's just a little alert and spurs are cautious..

[Fireball]

Great win and another clutch performance by Wemby. Sochan is getting his groove back. But a big bummer is Vassell getting injured. He looked strong finishing at the rim in the 1st half.

GSG

[TimmehC]

I'm not sure Wemby can absorb Vassell's offensive load in addition to his own. But I'm also not sure he can't.

[Mr. Body]

While I kind of like the idea of Branham starting, Graham would allow Pop to keep his rotation intact, maintain the shooting threat and give the SL the speed boost I've been asking for.

Graham is who I would pick, yeah.

Devin is the only guy in the starters who can consistently get his shot whenever he wants from range (other than Wemby). This is going to hurt a good bit.

[JPB]

Sochan has been pretty effective while playing the 4. While at PG, not so much. We went on our closing run when Tre came in to run the point, Sochan went to the 4 and Wemby slid to C.

Same in all our 3 victories, Tre closed the game at PG. Not sure Pop will replace Devin by Jones tho, Tre was 2/4 behind the arc tonight but he's not really a shooter and can't really drive either. But that a possibilty if you put Keldon a SG and Sochan SF...

This franchise won 3 draft lotteries, and each time used it to draft a legendary big man. It's lucky timing that there just happened to be a great prospect coming up at the same time as our franchise lulls, but give them credit for timing the tanking properly.

I’m too young to have seen Wilt, but this has to be like that right? I’m not talking Laker Wilt but San Francisco Wilt

Try to imagine Wemby at 300+ pounds and so fucking strong defenders are afraid to try to block a dunk because he'd put them through the hoop with the ball. That was Wilt. I doubt Wemby will develop that body, but remember Wilt was also a great high jumper in track in college and pretty slim.

Booker has always been one of those front running fake tough guys. Fits perfectly with the Suns.

[Maddog]

Only thing that would have made the game better was if Sarver still owned the Suns

That ownership appears to have been transferred to the Spurs.
