pass wemby the ball

[DAF86]

Here comes the first "Wembanyama - DNP - too young"

[Mr. Body]

Let's see how the kids bounce back.

Pacers dropped 50 in the third quarter on Charlotte the other day, including 12 threes. Still managed to lose due to two boneheaded plays by Haliburton.

[stephen jackson]

If he plays today ill
be shocked

[z0sa]

Three really interesting and unique growing experiences in the last 3 games. Let's hopefully see the guys grow past it and find an extra gear on the back-to-back heading into Indy.

Also hoping Wemby puts forth a really good effort tonight. He looked a bit stiff last game, imho. Perhaps his body (hopefully) likes back-to-backs more than 2-3 days off for rest.

I'd be surprised about resting a 19 year old rookie this early in the season, but it is Pop after all.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop said in the interview yesterday that he doesn't plan on resting anybody. So I guess everybody plays, probably less minutes for the starters though

[Seventyniner]

Here comes the first "Wembanyama - DNP - too young"

DNP - Not Over Himself Yet

[John B]

If Spurs had problem stopping Schroder, geez what about Halliburton? 40 pts?

[LeBowen]

If Zach keep shooting threes early in the clock...

Let's see Wemby's conditioning, I think he won't play more than 25 minutes, if that.

[John B]

Spurs injuries: Spurs have until 1 p.m., November 6 to submit injury report.

Pacers injuries: Kendall Brown – Questionable (G League assignment,) Oscar Tshiebwe – Questionable (G League assignment,) Isaiah Wong – Questionable (G League assignment)

The Pacers are top 5 in scoring averaging 120 pts. The Spurs defense sucks in the 4th qtr with both Suns and Raptors coming from a 20 pt deficit. Pop needs to clamp that defense. I like Tre, but he gets overpowered and he likes going under the screen leaving Schroder wide open. Sochan needs to play Haliburton and try to slow the head-of-the-snake with both his scoring and facilitating. Tall order but that’s what Sochan is there at PG - for defensive stance.

Let’s go Spurs!

[slick'81]

Aaaaah yeah!! lets get this W

[BatManu20]

[John B]

1721582930189799901

Keldon questionable? Spurs need Keldon’s production or jot this game as a L.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Interesting. Two of the top three Spurs are out. This one could be another L. B2Bs are sometimes better for a young team though.

[Big Empty]

Wemby goes for 41 tonight

[spurraider21]

would be nice to see pop willing to play him 30+ and dispel the concerns of load managing a 19 year old rookie

[exstatic]

Let's see how the kids bounce back.

Pacers dropped 50 in the third quarter on Charlotte the other day, including 12 threes. Still managed to lose due to two boneheaded plays by Haliburton.

Whaaat? I thought he was Jesus, returned...

[Fireball]

Pacers will run the Spurs into the ground. Wemby already was fuming last night, against a fast team like the Pacers on a second night of a b2b I have a bad feeling ...

GSG

[Maddog]

Where's Riga time?

[heyheymymy]

Where's Riga time?

Spurs L incoming

[Darius Bieber]

If Spurs had problem stopping Schroder, geez what about Halliburton? 40 pts?

Just reminded me that we could have drafted Haliburton instead of Vassell that draft. :depressed

[FutureMan]

Just reminded me that we could have drafted Haliburton instead of Vassell that draft. :depressed

Or they could’ve traded for another lottery pick to have both. There’s an alternate universe with a Spurs starting lineup of:

Haliburton
Vassell
Wagner
Sochan
Wembanyama

[Mugen]

Free Barlow tbh.

[timtonymanu]

I’ll get the meltdown quotes out of the way.

“Sochan sucks. Trade him.”
“Why is Wemby not getting the ball every possession?”
“I wish we still had Primo.”
“Why do Keldon and Zach keep shooting the ball?”

[Leetonidas]

I’ll get the meltdown quotes out of the way.

“Sochan sucks. Trade him.”
“Why is Wemby not getting the ball every possession?”
“I wish we still had Primo.”
“Why do Keldon and Zach keep shooting the ball?”

Don't forget my personal go to "Pop is a moron"

[spurs10]

With no Riga Time I don't like our chances. You need that international mojo sometimes, especially with two top scorers potentially out.

Go Spurs!

Riga Time 2:00 am

[Mugen]

Don't forget my personal go to "Pop is a moron"

That one is correct tbh :lol

[baseline bum]

Just reminded me that we could have drafted Haliburton instead of Wembanyama. :depressed

[mikec]

Or they could’ve traded for another lottery pick to have both. There’s an alternate universe with a Spurs starting lineup of:

Haliburton
Vassell
Wagner
Sochan
Wembanyama

Or we draft Haliburton and have a better record and don't get Wemby.

[spurraider21]

keldon playin

1721674944214421796

[Obstructed_View]

Wembanyana. :rolleyes Crazy that people who work for the NBA can't get his name right.

[spurraider21]

sochan starts things off right, sailing a pass out of bounds

[emanueldavidginobili]

Wemby has to take things into his own hands and take a tough shot sometimes because he doesn't touch the ball lol

[SpursFan86]

Nice start. Let’s just keep fouling every possession and see if it works out!

[LakerHater]

Sochan needs to come off the bench!

[SpursFan86]

I know it won’t always be as easy, but it’s just truly insane how we go from feeding Victor the way we did against Phoenix to just hardly involving him at all.

[Fizziksman]

I know it won’t always be as easy, but it’s just truly insane how we go from feeding Victor the way we did against Phoenix to just hardly involving him at all.

If conditioning is the reason then the beginning of his shifts should be the time to spam that shit

[LeBowen]

Idk what's worse, Jeremy's playmaking or Tre's lack of size.

[AusSpur]

Wemby gets guarded aggressively now, but most his teammates need to understand that doesn't mean you don't get him the ball, instead find a way to do it.

[NASpurs]

I know it won’t always be as easy, but it’s just truly insane how we go from feeding Victor the way we did against Phoenix to just hardly involving him at all.

He should be taking like 20 shots a game minimum.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wemby already looks gassed lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

They need to go back to the Collins screen for Victor on the block and get some easy shots. Wemby is just doing cardio right now

[Fizziksman]

They need to go back to the Collins screen for Victor on the block and get some easy shots. Wemby is just doing cardio right now

pretty much Zollins just needs to set pin down screens so that Wemby can get mid ranges and hook shots not pretend he is Kareem and shooting more than Keldon and Wemby

[AusSpur]

Bassey's hands are rocks

[PhantomDashCam]

Malaki’s D solid to start this game.

[Chinook]

Fans are starting to see what it looks like for competent defenses to try to stop opposing stars. Hopefully it help push against the idea that the Spurs are playing good defense against guys who are shooting at or above their averages and scoring a lot of points.

[onechance87]

tre jones belongs on the bench as 3rd string

[John B]

The Pacers are 5th in point average with 120 pts per game, and it shows.

Damn Haliburton moves so well, constantly moving. The Spurs need to match their offense or they could find themselves in a deep hole quick

[couchman]

Our defense remains atrocious. Pop is testing my faith.
At some point this is a coaching issue

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team is missing Devin a lot. Julian needs to resemble somewhat of the same player we saw in summer league. Needs to take advantage of this opportunity.

[John B]

Damn Haliburton looks so good

[John B]

This is fast game

[onechance87]

Our defense remains atrocious. Pop is testing my faith.
At some point this is a coaching issue

pop cant teaching rebounds or shooting....this team dont really got iq or talent...out of his hands

[poopbox]

This bassey doug and cedi lineup got to be the worst rebounding lineup in the league

[SpursFan86]

Might give up 150 this game :lol Not sure how long Victor can play in spurts at this pace either, tbh

[spursparker9]

Can we waive Champaigne?

[AusSpur]

Mamu >>>>> Champagnie

[FkLA]

WTF happened to we finally decided to run the offense through Wemby? Or whatever Pop said.

Let's also make sure we limit his minutes since it's a back to back. He almost 20, gotta preserve him.

[r0drig0lac]

wtf

[couchman]

pop cant teaching rebounds or shooting....this team dont really got iq or talent...out of his hands

I disagree.
2005 Pop would have chewed out Sochan until he showed more desire to rebound.
He would figure out that half of our defensive problems are a result of over helping.
That Pop wouldn’t let the refs call all of these soft fouls on us like we see tonight without standing up for our guys and drawing a tech.
I love Pop but he needs to wake up

[poopbox]

we been a bottom 5 defense for like what...3 years now :lol

[Barfunk]

Pacers spanking the munkee

[NASpurs]

This shit is so over :lol

[onechance87]

what has happend to champ:devil

[Leetonidas]

:vomit:

[NASpurs]

we been a bottom 5 defense for like what...3 years now :lol

Makes you wonder what they're doing in training camp

[benefactor]

All these guys suck so bad

[SpursFan86]

Fouls killing us. 13 points off FTs for them vs. 3 points for us…10 points of the lead from that right there

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[SpursFan86]

Damn what a block

[Frenchfred]

the Spurs just have a bad team. Vassel is a good player but he is not an all star, Wemby has potential but is learning, Johnson is a bench player in other teams, Sochan is just not good and they have no PG. Give Wemby a guy like Haliburton and he’ll get more easy opportunities to score. Right now, the Spurs are a bottom 10 team.

[onechance87]

I disagree.
2005 Pop would have chewed out Sochan until he showed more desire to rebound.
He would figure out that half of our defensive problems are a result of over helping.
That Pop wouldn’t let the refs call all of these soft fouls on us like we see tonight without standing up for our guys and drawing a tech.
I love Pop but he needs to wake up

we had a talented team back then....Nobody on our team can shoot or play d besides wemby and have no iq...
Pop cant sub out out guys who play bad,Because the next guy up suck and play bad as well.

[emanueldavidginobili]

50 points with 10 min left in the 1st half lmfao

[poopbox]

How do we repeatedly leave buddy heild open :lol

[spursparker9]

Wow 360 .....

[Leetonidas]

This defense is fucked

[spursparker9]

50 points with 10 min left in the 1st half lmfao

:lol

[John B]

Oh man Wemby's 360 would have been nice

[John B]

Wemby!!!

[dbestpro]

Most games fans complain about the offense when it is the perimeter defense that is abysmal.

[benefactor]

Bobby none of these guys are any good

[Leetonidas]

Open 3 again and again and again....

[Leetonidas]

Get that fucking retard McDermott off the floor

[John B]

Spurs 3pt defense sucks

[Fizziksman]

Teams are going to stay away from Wemby so they will rely on threes. It's pathetic how bad three point defense has been

[spursparker9]

Get that fucking retard McDermott off the floor

He is not called McBucket for nothing :pop:

[Leetonidas]

Pacers are going to score 90 in the half:lmao

[SPURt]

Goodness. This is not as much fun as I’d thought it would be.

[AusSpur]

If Sochan wants to bully someone inside he has to try finish with force rather than settling for fadeaways and chippy layups.

[SpursFan86]

Alright our defense has been terrible but it’s also getting a little ridiculous how hot Indiana is shooting right now :lol 57% from the field, 62% from 3, 100% from the FT line…at this point any time they throw something up I’m expecting it to go in

[John B]

Stop moping Sochan and run back on defense!

[itzsoweezee]

Still see spurs players running to double team players that wemby is guarding. Just a ton of low iq defense on this team

[couchman]

We give up open 3s at a sickening rate.
Someone wake up Pop and get him to work on that.

[SPURt]

Was that Spurs fan wearing a Silas jersey?

[John B]

If Sochan wants to bully someone inside he has to try finish with force rather than setting for fadeaways and chippy layups.

That's what he misses when he plays PG, those back to the basket post which he can be very effective

[Dex]

I feel like the Spurs need to find guys who can actually shoot threes, not just guys who can hit them sometimes.

Also, WTF is wrong with our free-throw shooting?

These two things may go hand-in-hand

[emanueldavidginobili]

Why are they still in a zone lmao

[SpursFan86]

What the fuck is happening :lol

[Dex]

We are shooting 1s while they are shooting 4s.

[John B]

Pacers are shooting the ball ridiculously well

[r0drig0lac]

a shameful performance since minute 0

[Barfunk]

The Pacers can make em blindfolded at this point

[Chinook]

The Spurs are consistently bad at defending the three-point line. It's insane that Pop can have a team that struggles with this for years and years and folks still think "They're young; they'll get it"

[Leetonidas]

This is disgusting

[John B]

The Pacers look like the Indiana Warriors, they can't miss

[NASpurs]

Stealth tanking tbh

CIA Pop :hat

[poopbox]

some of the worst defense i have ever seen :lol

Down 20 and Keldon yelling about an and 1. What a boob :lol

[John B]

Just remember the Spurs were behind 26 pts against KD team.. but yeah this is ridiculous

[TekXX]

Did the Spurs have a chance to draft Haliburton?

[NASpurs]

Just remember the Spurs were behind 26 pts against KD team.. but yeah this is ridiculous

They were also down 40 to the Clippers :lol

[itzsoweezee]

There’s that vaunted Zach Collins defense

[Dex]

The Spurs are consistently bad at defending the three-point line. It's insane that Pop can have a team that struggles with this for years and years and folks still think "They're young; they'll get it"

Somehow we struggle at defending the three-point line, but also struggle at rebounding.

From a macro lens...exactly where are our players playing?

[Barfunk]

We're playing scary bad

[AussieFanKurt]

Collins' play is laughable

[Kawhi Duncan]

Collins trying to rebound from under the backboard... Smh

[Ocotillo]

Indiana bigs are in foul trouble, it would be nice to have someone who could take advantage of that.

[Dex]

Did the Spurs have a chance to draft Haliburton?

Yeah, but they chose Vassell one spot ahead of him

[AusSpur]

Johnson has gone blackhole mode

[John B]

Spurs need to find Wemby when he rolls to the basket

[SpursFan86]

What’s the record for most points in a half?

[poopbox]

The Spurs are consistently bad at defending the three-point line. It's insane that Pop can have a team that struggles with this for years and years and folks still think "They're young; they'll get it"

Exhibit 100 why I am ready for Pop to retire. The number one reason why the Spurs are bad at defending the 3 is because Pop doesn't know how to coach defending the 3. We have been awful at it literally since we traded Kawhi.

[Frenchfred]

That is scary for the future. The Spurs don’t attract stars and right now, outside of Wemby and Vassel, everybody else is ranging from bad to average. The draft is a gamble and takes time to develop players. Wemby needs to have an all star next to him who can shoot the three and penetrate to draw the defense. I hope that the front office has a plan otherwise Welby light not stay at the end of his rookie contract

[CGD]

Guys just struck in mud tonight.

[baseline bum]

Can't play defense, can't find their 7'4" teammate any time he gets in the paint.

[Dex]

We're playing scary bad

To be honest, Pacers are in a crazy groove and hitting everything. That's not normal.

But the fact that this team can't find a way to impose its will AT ALL....is frustrating.

[r0drig0lac]

damn Popovich abandoned this team? do something man!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

83 smh lol

[John B]

58 1st points is not bad, bad 83 is crazy

[TekXX]

Go ahead and sit Wemby, Johnson thinks he's the star anyway.

[r0drig0lac]

86 fucking points wow

[weebo]

Wemby needs to take no less than 25 shots a game...he has 6 so far

[Kawhi Duncan]

It's like they're actively trying to not give Wemby the ball

[Dex]

Maybe we should get rid of Doug Mc-NO DEFENSE because his two fucking threes a game don't matter

[Barfunk]

To be honest, Pacers are in a crazy groove and hitting everything. That's not normal.

But the fact that this team can't find a way to impose its will AT ALL....is frustrating.

Yupp, Pacers should just keep shooting the 3 the rest of the game.

[John B]

Wemby is asking and they're not looking for him

[NASpurs]

What's coach Bud doing nowadays?

[TekXX]

ok Keldon you didn't get the call, at that point go ahead and get back up.

[itzsoweezee]

86 points in a half! Holy shit that is some shitty defense

[spursparker9]

What's coach Bud doing nowadays?

Strategizing how to stop Himmy Bucket

[MannyIsGod]

What's the point of having Wemby in any action off his screens when they literally never look to pass him the ball. The offense isn't the problem but I'm really starting to question if pop has any juice left because the way this team uses Wemby on offense is so completely stupid.

[benefactor]

Keldon thinks he's still dominating the playground with his DWade 3 jersey on and not the one he actually has on

[baseline bum]

Kind of sad seeing Vic have to iso from the three point line just to get a god damn shot. But nice setup on that last possession. Get him the ball 30 feet out with the shot clock expiring. Bravo, this some next level offense.

[Pauleta14]

Can't blame Wemby for not asking in the post...

Pathetic teamates

Irrelevant to the "process" argument

[Dex]

86 points in a half! Holy shit that is some shitty defense

That is literally some Harlem Globetrotters shit

The problem is, this is a professional basketball game and we are looking like the Washington Generals

[NASpurs]

Weren't the Spurs a historically bad defense last year?

Amazing they're this bad again with a future DPOY candidate.

[MannyIsGod]

Also running that stupid zone into a pacers team that was already on fire from 3 was just incredibly stupid.

[baseline bum]

What's the point of having Wemby in any action off his screens when they literally never look to pass him the ball. The offense isn't the problem but I'm really starting to question if pop has any juice left because the way this team uses Wemby on offense is so completely stupid.

What are you talking about man? They just got Wemby that great 30 foot look with the shot clock expiring.

[Dex]

Keldon thinks he's still dominating the playground with his DWade 3 jersey on and not the one he actually has on

Keldon still thinks he is "the guy"

Narrator: "He is not the guy"

[benefactor]

I got some shows I need to finish. Fuck this shit:lol

[RC_Drunkford]

I was really hoping the Pacers would score a 100 points in the half, but at least they tied their franchise record with 86

[CGD]

I get the power of the 3 ball and why teams hunt that shot, but it’s getting pretty boring to watch tbh. It’s like their is only one style of play anymore.

No shade on Indy, they’re crushing it tonight and they’re playing the percentages.

[BackHome]

I’ll get the meltdown quotes out of the way.

“Sochan sucks. Trade him.”
“Why is Wemby not getting the ball every possession?”
“I wish we still had Primo.”
“Why do Keldon and Zach keep shooting the ball?”

:lol

[Kawhi Duncan]

Yeah, but they chose Vassell one spot ahead of him
Does it matter, tho? This version of Pop would have Hali taking 9 shots a game with no plays run for him

[Frenchfred]

Hopefully, the draft picks from Toronto, Atlanta and the Spurs are high enough to trade for an all star.

[JeffDuncan]

Does it matter, tho? This version of Pop would have Hali taking 9 shots a game with no plays run for him


This version of Pop would have Haliburton playing power forward, for defense.

[rascal]

I get the power of the 3 ball and why teams hunt that shot, but it’s getting pretty boring to watch tbh. It’s like their is only one style of play anymore.

No shade on Indy, they’re crushing it tonight and they’re playing the percentages.

Yep, just shooting 3's makes the game boring. No attacking the basket makes for boring games.

[poopbox]

I bet over the last 3 years if you go look at every teams top 10 shooting performances, the spurs would show up for every single team :lol

You couldn't play defense this bad on 2k if you had no idea what button did what

[SouthernFryd]

Lowest Basketball IQ in the league. This is terrible, lol. Didn't Pop use to teach Defense?

[thiste]

14/22 3 point shooting, what can you do

[baseline bum]

I got some shows I need to finish. Fuck this shit:lol

Ugh still two days away from Like a Dragon Gaiden releasing so don't want to play anything right now. Wednesday will be time to cash in that $1 14 day PC Game Pass promotion :lol

[baseline bum]

14/22 3 point shooting, what can you do

Not play zone defense?

[AusSpur]

14/22 3 point shooting, what can you do

Start defending their 3-point shots.

[baseline bum]

I bet over the last 3 years if you go look at every teams top 10 shooting performances, the spurs would show up for every single team :lol

You couldn't play defense this bad on 2k if you had no idea what button did what

You got one guy who holds his opponent 23% below their shooting percentage. And then four guys who probably bump their man's shooting percentage by 10 points.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Zach chucking a three with Wemby deep inside the paint.

[baseline bum]

JFC Victor is under the basket with Obi Toppin on him but no Zach, let's jack up a fucking three instead :pctoss

[LakerHater]

Thought I'd b more exciting to watch wembanyama this season but Spurs system fuckn sux!

[spurraider21]

nothing gets me more hard than those possession where everyone clears out for sochan to try to back someone down from about 18 feet out only to throw up a turnaround jumper off the front rim

[AusSpur]

Turner took a chunk of Wemby's arm on that 3-point attempt

[freetiago]

Victor back to chucking the free times he gets the ball since teammates won’t feed him

[spurraider21]

14/22 3 point shooting, what can you do
i mean, most of these were clean, open looks. thats on the defense

[NASpurs]

Are the Spurs the only team that has maybe six, seven guys playing out of their comfort zone and/or natural positions?

[GB20]

I love Jeremy but i don’t think he is a point guard.

[Kawhi Duncan]

I don't blame Wemby for forcing up shots... No one gives him the ball in his spots, so fuck it... Let it fly when it touches your hand... Everyone else does

[baseline bum]

Starting to think the only players worth keeping next to Victor are Devin and Tre.

[TekXX]

Did Pop even attempt to coach this game, he looks kinda glassy eyed over there.

[spurraider21]

i know vic is frustrated with his lack of touches but taking it upon himself to take awful, contested, long jumpers in transition isn't the solution to anything

and feels like everyone is sleepwalking on D. the transition defense on that last layup was non-existent

[spurraider21]

I don't blame Wemby for forcing up shots... No one gives him the ball in his spots, so fuck it... Let it fly when it touches your hand... Everyone else does
the solution to your teammates making poor decisions isnt to make poor decisions yourself

[Frenchfred]

I don't blame Wemby for forcing up shots... No one gives him the ball in his spots, so fuck it... Let it fly when it touches your hand... Everyone else does

he needs to work on his 3-point shot for sure. Right now, he is not shooting well, so opponents let him shoot that and try to prevent him from getting inside

[John B]

now down 26 pts

[benefactor]

Ugh still two days away from Like a Dragon Gaiden releasing so don't want to play anything right now. Wednesday will be time to cash in that $1 14 day PC Game Pass promotion :lol
Kubricks movie Killer has potential. Fassbender is nails and he fits a role like this

[YoungbuckMurray]

This is downright pathetic. The defense is atrocious

[itzsoweezee]

Thought I'd b more exciting to watch wembanyama this season but Spurs system fuckn sux!

Exactly. Way to take the joy out of something that should be fun.

[Kawhi Duncan]

the solution to your teammates making poor decisions isnt to make poor decisions yourself

Ur right... My bad

[AusSpur]

I don't blame Wemby for forcing up shots... No one gives him the ball in his spots, so fuck it... Let it fly when it touches your hand... Everyone else does

It's obvious what is happening, you would hope Pop would step in at some point.

[spurs10]

Keldon still thinks he is "the guy"

Narrator: "He is not the guy" Yeah it was tough to watch. People complaining about Victor's shots need watch the game more closely.

[itzsoweezee]

Lol that it took a timeout to get the message across that they need to pass wemby the ball

[james evans]

the solution to your teammates making poor decisions isnt to make poor decisions yourself
yes it is. Because if the coach isn't making those fukers pass, then it becomes a game of whomever gets it shoots it. There is no way I' keep playing D and passing the ball to a bunch of selfish mfers

[MI21]

This shit is hilarious from Wemby. I wouldn't expect anything less from a 19 year old with his level of expectations - I haven't noticed the "ignoring" on offense as much as others have but today it is actually glaring. It's just a shame some of the awful jumpers in transition haven't fallen as a real passive agressive show of "pass me the ball".

[John B]

all night Wemby

[Chinook]

Somehow we struggle at defending the three-point line, but also struggle at rebounding.

From a macro lens...exactly where are our players playing?

They're playing in 2010 when semi-contesting a three dropped its efficiency tremendously and when most rebounds were small carroms that were wrestled down in the paint or midrange.

[timtonymanu]

Starting to think the only players worth keeping next to Victor are Devin and Tre.

Honestly everyone but Wemby is tradeable. I like Devin but if you could get a better player for him, then you get it done.

[dbestpro]

Pop needs to have them run wind sprints for every point they give up over 100 after the game.

[Frenchfred]

Wemby has to stop shooting three like if he was Curry. He is a bad 3-point shooter

[baseline bum]

Could you imagine ignoring Tim Duncan in 1997 to run plays for Vinny Del Negro and Will Perdue?

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby has to stop shooting three like if he was Curry. He is a bad 3-point shooter

Shut the fuck up

[SPURt]

Is this the worst beat down of Wemby’s basketball life? I hope it feels bad lol

[TekXX]

Keldon is def getting traded eventually

[baseline bum]

Honestly everyone but Wemby is tradeable. I like Devin but if you could get a better player for him, then you get it done.

I didn't mean tradeable. I mean get them the fuck off the team level bad.

[itzsoweezee]

Scrubs I tell you, scrubs

[AusSpur]

What did Mamu do to Pop?

Is this the worst beat down of Wemby’s basketball life? I hope it feels bad lol

Clippers game?

[MannyIsGod]

Could you imagine ignoring Tim Duncan in 1997 to run plays for Vinny Del Negro and Will Perdue?

Dude this shit is insane.

[baseline bum]

Pop needs to have them run wind sprints for every point they give up over 100 after the game.

Pop needs to be running fucking sprints after this game for this offense. And defense.

[Frenchfred]

Shut the fuck up

I won’t so go hang yourself if you have a problem with it

[freetiago]

Someone ask Pop if he’s sitting Victor the rest of the game so I can know if I can turn this off. Don’t want to watch these other low IQ chuckers. Only people worth keeping are Victor, Vassel, Osman, and McDermott. Everything else is just bad at everything

[MannyIsGod]

Watching this team with Wemby has rapidly made me want to trade much of them. Don't know if this is a player issue or a coach issue but this shit cant continue.

[timtonymanu]

I didn't mean tradeable. I mean get them the fuck off the team level bad.

That might include Pop and his coaching tbh.

[itzsoweezee]

I won’t so go hang yourself if you have a problem with it

Yeah, you will. Moron. Shut up

Lol

[cd98]

Spurs team defense is a step slow. They look a little tired. Probably not used to the back to back yet.

[John B]

Did Champagnie spent his contract money in tit bar? The guy can't hit his anything

[TekXX]

Could you imagine ignoring Tim Duncan in 1997 to run plays for Vinny Del Negro and Will Perdue?

In fairness Duncan's game was ready made for the NBA and he had no trouble scoring at ease, Wemby will need some time what works on a regular basis.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Goddamn why can't anyone besides Devin shoot a basketball? lmao

Also, I really hope Vic gets stronger and becomes more post-oriented.

[Frenchfred]

Yeah, you will. Moron. Shut up

you are an idiot. Wemby is a bad 3- point shooter, that’s a fact

[rascal]

Pop needs to be running fucking sprints after this game for this offense. And defense.

He'll get a heart attack and the spurs will have a new coach.

[Barfunk]

Man, this is fucking dreadful.

[timtonymanu]

Could you imagine ignoring Tim Duncan in 1997 to run plays for Vinny Del Negro and Will Perdue?

It’s really stupid. Apparently Wemby doesn’t “fall in line” enough.

[weebo]

these mfer's can't shoot and they keep shooting 3's :lmao

[james evans]

Keldon is def getting traded eventually
and he knows it hahaha

[MultiTroll]

Wemby needs to take no less than 25 shots a game...he has 6 so far


It's like they're actively trying to not give Wemby the ball
TF is the *GOAT* :pop: doing about it?

I ran the playback thru the 1st qtr. Couldn't take any more of the incompetence so fast fwd'd to now.
Facepalm.

[NASpurs]

It’s really stupid. Apparently Wemby doesn’t “fall in line” enough.

Wemby isn't over himself yet.

[BatManu20]

That might include Pop and his coaching tbh.

Ever since the old man admitted that he was asleep during the draft lottery, I sorta feel like he’s checked out mentally tbh. This season hasn’t shown me anything to change my mind. I mean the man’s almost 75. Can’t imagine he has much passion left in the tank. There’s no way he sees the end of his current 5-year deal tbh, and frankly it’s probably best if he steps down after year 2 or 3 tbh.

There should be shortage of coaches who’d love to come in here and coach Wemby while bringing youth, energy, and passion to the sidelines tbh.

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs team defense is a step slow. They look a little tired. Probably not used to the back to back yet.

Back to back is no excuse for giving up nearly 90 points in a half

[LakerHater]

Trading for othr players ain't gonna change Pop from running an old outdated system from 2000s
Pop can't adapt

[JeffDuncan]

I stopped watching. Keep me posted.

[baseline bum]

Watching this team with Wemby has rapidly made me want to trade much of them. Don't know if this is a player issue or a coach issue but this shit cant continue.

This has been a problem the whole season other than that one Phoenix game. How is Pop not seeing this?

[cd98]

Indiana just making everything. One of those nights.

[baseline bum]

Back in 2000 he used to have the team throw the ball to its best player

[NASpurs]

Pop's there collecting social security checks from the Spurs except in the millions.

[LakerHater]

Back in 2000 he used to have the team throw the ball to its best player

Yup, that's not the case anymore!

[Dex]

:pop: Victor needs to get over himself.

[weebo]

Pop has checked out...he has the wins, rings, HOF and legendary clout...zero fucks anymore

[TekXX]

How bad are the Suns?

[weebo]

Back in 2000 he used to have the team throw the ball to its best player

4 down

[Raven]

strange team, that's for sure

[baseline bum]

In fairness Duncan's game was ready made for the NBA and he had no trouble scoring at ease, Wemby will need some time what works on a regular basis.

You could run the plays you ran for Aldridge with pick and pops and that would be good for a few FGs a game, as Victor is deadly from 12-18 feet. Add in a couple of lobs, a few FT, and some garbage clean up points and you have a pretty devastating scorer even if he doesn't have the strength to go on the low block and post.

[cd98]

Clippers beat the Spurs by 40 because the Spurs just threw the ball away. Indiana is seemingly making every three and every contested layup on their way to a 40 point lead.

[Splits]

we got this. just like the Raps last night

[cd98]

People are talking like Wemby's need to get double or triple the shots is the problem. Spurs are scoring fine. It's that they can't string together two stops in a row. It's the defense that is leaky and that is on the entire team.

[ginobilized]

Painful to watch, Spurs look a step behind every play

Definitely a 2nd night of a B2B, still no excuse

Pop looks pretty beat tbh

Pacers have some great pieces, very athletic

[james evans]

Could you imagine ignoring Tim Duncan in 1997 to run plays for Vinny Del Negro and Will Perdue?
I was going to post the exact same thing. Can you imagine drafting Duncan so del negro, Elliot and Avery Johnson can shoot multiple 3s per game and not pass it to him? Wtf

[spurraider21]

Pop needs to have them run wind sprints for every point they give up over 100 after the game.
that might violate the geneva convention at this point

[Barfunk]

That ref chic is pretty fine

[freetiago]

SocHan getting clowned by the 3rd unit. Doesn’t have 1 standout skill

[CorrectCrusader]

Damn I'm glad I missed this one lol down 35 crazy

[baseline bum]

I was going to post the exact same thing. Can you imagine drafting Duncan so del negro, Elliot and Avery Johnson can shoot multiple 3s per game and not pass it to him? Wtf

Except this team has no one close to as good as Elliott taking shots from Victor tonight. That's why I was saying Del Negro and Perdue. Oh well, I turned this shit off as I don't need to watch Sochan try to stat pad himself in garbage time.

[Leetonidas]

We signed Pop for 5 more years :lol
