Spurs injuries: Charle Bediako – Out (G League,) Sidy Cissoko – Out (G League,) Sir’Jabari Rice – Out (G League,) Keldon Johnson – Questionable (right knee soreness,) Tre Jones – Questionable (right hamstring tightness,) Jeremy Sochan – Out (right adductor tightness,) Blake Wesley – Out (G League)

Thunder injuries: Ousmane Dieng – Out (G League,) Keyontae Johnson – Out (G League)

It’s Wemby against the world. Go Spurs Go!!! :flag::flag::flag:

[John B]

Wemby and Devin with 30 pts each. Sochan has a tall order to slow down SGA. Let’s go!!!

[spurs10]

Let's go. Gonna be a tough one! GSG!

[buttsR4rebounding]

Wemby and Devin with 30 pts each. Sochan has a tall order to slow down SGA. Let’s go!!!

Especially in street clothes.

[spurs10]

Riga time- 2:30 AM!!

[NASpurs]

In season tournament game with probably half of the team missing... on TNT :lol

[buttsR4rebounding]

Hopefully Collins can do a better job against Holmgren this game. I'd like to see Wemby guard him some. That would be must see basketball.

[objective]

No Sochan, yet Blake Wesley is stuck in the gleague. Jones is questionable.

If he doesn't play, I guess they're stuck with Graham and Branham

[spurraider21]

No Sochan, yet Blake Wesley is stuck in the gleague. Jones is questionable.

maybe finally DAF86 gets his wish and we see wemby run the point

[weeks]

so how does the tournament thing work anyway? i dont really get it. we're still in even though we've lost twice?

[SpurSpike]

Where are yall seeing Sochan is out? I'm seeing him as questionable but Tre and Keldon are out.

[Fireball]

so how does the tournament thing work anyway? i dont really get it. we're still in even though we've lost twice?

its a group round ... and the Spurs only have played/lost one IST game so far. tonight will be loss #2 :spin

[RC_Drunkford]

doesn't matter who plays tbh. As long as Pop keeps using the wrong defensive schemes and doesn't coach this team is toast

[kht]

Next man up mentality... this is what won us titles.

[LeBowen]

Branham statement game incoming.

[Leetonidas]

No PG at all? Thunder by 40+

[Leetonidas]

Next man up mentality... this is what won us titles.

We need Kevin Tran out there

[John B]

Especially in street clothes.

Oh shoot I didn’t see that. Damn.

[poopbox]

SCG about to have Sochan crying by halftime tbh

[spurraider21]

SCG about to have Sochan crying by halftime tbh
who?

[Davidicus]

who?

Shai Cilgeous Galexander

[Mugen]

#FreeDom baby

[SouthernFryd]

Will anyone get over 10 assists?

[DAF86]

In season tournament game with probably half of the team missing... on TNT :lol

This could be a blessing in diguise. Surround Wemby with shooters.

[FutureMan]

That’s a lot of injured players. What are we even looking at??

Starters: Branham, Vassell, Osman, Wemby, & Collins
Bench: Graham, Champagnie, McDermott, & Bassey

[JeffDuncan]

Will anyone get over 10 assists?


You mean for us?

[JeffDuncan]

This could be a blessing in diguise. Surround Wemby with shooters.


Wemby himself may shoot 20 three-pointers. But what the heck.

[Mugen]

This could be a blessing in diguise. Surround Wemby with shooters.

They're going to lose by 30 tbh :lol

[heyheymymy]

Branham statement game incoming.

He looked POISED last game

Real good stuff

[playbonner15]

SGA might have 50pt game......

[CorrectCrusader]

I am so ready for VW to make Chet his son

[John B]

Wemby will need to carry more and hopefully it would be a big game for him. TNT has this televised.

[BatManu20]

Branham statement game incoming.

He's definitely shooting the ball 15+ times tonight with Tre, Jeremy, and Keldon all sitting out. Wouldn't be surprised to see around 20 shots attempts from him tbh :lol

[poopbox]

If Sochan and Tre are out who is playing point? Wemby :rollin

[spurraider21]

[heyheymymy]

Slater] Chet Holmgren is averaging 16.4 points on 55/50/90 splits through 10 games: “Getting 30 points on 35 shots doesn’t make you a great scorer. I try to make my looks count. The more efficient you are, the better chance you have to win a basketball game.”

[tim_duncan_fan]

Oh shit, I forgot this was the Chet game.

Kick his ass, Vic.

[spurraider21]

chet woulda been an awesome spur tbh

[heyheymymy]

Man I can't say enough good things about Chet Holmgren.

Looks so formidable and a smart savvy player.

OKC has a terrifying young core and I hate the thought of going against them but you gotta tip the cap to a fantastic job building that roster.

[heyheymymy]

It does seem like Wemby likes going up against Chet as a measuring stick to his own progress.

Ever since that Vegas game before Vic was drafted, Chet had some history against him and it's going to be a longstanding rivalry between the two players

[heyheymymy]

Soreness tightness

Seems like early season woes as conditioning is still optimising

[spurraider21]

he puts the stick in measuring stick

[heyheymymy]

I could see a 7 footer being ~50% from 2fg with the high percentage looks right at the rim but 50 on 3PM and 90 FT too?

Chet is showing potential as an enigmatic big

[heyheymymy]

he puts the stick in measuring stick

Yeah health is maybe the main concern and may bode implications for our own twig granted Vic already added 15lbs since draft night alone

[spurraider21]

Yeah health is maybe the main concern and may bode implications for our own twig granted Vic already added 15lbs since draft night alone
eh im not overly concerned about either

[PhantomDashCam]

Not sure of its accuracy but this tweet is saying Champ is starting...

https://x.com/GSMLBPicks/status/1724579634732298308?s=20

[Mugen]

Chet is nice tbh. But benefits from being 2yrs older on a much better team with a better coach tbh

[spurraider21]

Chet is nice tbh. But benefits from being 2yrs older on a much better team with a better coach tbh
he also has a much more defined role, and they're only asking him to do things he does very well at, nothing more. great spot for him tbh. he can slowly expand his game rather than being asked to learn everything on the fly

[LeBowen]

Do or die for Champ, tbh.

[onechance87]

Not sure of its accuracy but this tweet is saying Champ is starting...

https://x.com/GSMLBPicks/status/1724579634732298308?s=20

come on champ...now is the time to step up

[Russ]

Branham statement game incoming.

PG may be right under their nose.

[Dex]

Just caught a glimpse of the 76ers In-Season court...yikes. That bright red is going to give people seizures.

[TekXX]

I bet Abraham Lincoln is going to try to show off

[TekXX]

This court has to be so distracting to play on

[LeBowen]

I don't see the point of Collins in this matchup.
Especially if he's going to shoot threes.

[benefactor]

Defense looks much better thus far.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Great start for Wemby. More energy on the boards.

[spurraider21]

nice start for wemby, but those early shot clock, transition 3's are going to be me an aneurism eventually

[hoopdreams11]

Sochan gets winded too quickly

[spurraider21]

shame that cedi osman remembered he is cedi osman

i liked the version of him that randomly was good at literally everything

[emanueldavidginobili]

Julian getting embarrassed lmao

[scott]

nice start for wemby, but those early shot clock, transition 3's are going to be me an aneurism eventually

I purposely counted his dribbles on that exact shot, in light of this tweet:

1724478878750577014

Wemby took 7 dribbles and launched the 3. Lol.

[John B]

Did Sochan just pulled Malaki's hand away not to help SGA up? :lol:lol

[GB20]

Let’s win this game. I want the good guys to taste a little success winning this game.

[TekXX]

Did Sochan just pulled Malaki's hand away not to help SGA up? :lol:lol

As he should, you don't help the opposing team up.

[onechance87]

I purposely counted his dribbles on that exact shot, in light of this tweet:

1724478878750577014

Wemby took 7 dribbles and launched the 3. Lol.

dude just gotta catch and shoot

[scott]

Wish we had Micic

[spurraider21]

sochan's ball handling just isnt good enough man

takes him forever to get across half court. by the time he's able to make his first pass in a possession the shot clock is down to 10

[TekXX]

Wheels coming off

[DAF86]

Wemby plays the first 5 minutes and the last 9 seconds of the first. Great rotation pattern, Pop. :lol

[TekXX]

That was comical, are some of these guys even worthy of being in the league?

[emanueldavidginobili]

This lineup is TERRIBLE

[John B]

Fucking McDermont with lazy passes

[heyheymymy]

Just caught a glimpse of the 76ers In-Season court...yikes. That bright red is going to give people seizures.

Yeah some of these are pretty awful eyesores

Thay PHX or LAL purple was blinding lol

[DAF86]

I purposely counted his dribbles on that exact shot, in light of this tweet:

1724478878750577014

Wemby took 7 dribbles and launched the 3. Lol.

But he's a perimeter player with great ball-handling abilities and a butter smooth jumper, folks. :lol

[Pauleta14]

Why bring Wemby bck in the game for the last play if it's not to use him??

Just standing in the middle...

[scott]

OKC might be the only team we can dominate on the boards. Wemby might get his first 20 Reb game if this game stays close

[onechance87]

did jeremy play the whole quarter

[scott]

But he's a perimeter player with great ball-handling abilities and a butter smooth jumper, folks. :lol

I appreciate your commitment to this argument

[emanueldavidginobili]

Just give Wemby the ball for the inbound lmaooo what the fuck are these guys doing.

[onechance87]

branham is not a pg

[TekXX]

If feel like he leagues could've made some of these courts more eye pleasing rather than shit loads of blues, red, purples

[Pauleta14]

yes, 12 straight for Sochan

[CorrectCrusader]

Zach Collins chucking the three instead of passing to a wide open Wemby in the paint sums up this season pretty well

[DAF86]

sochan's ball handling just isnt good enough man

takes him forever to get across half court. by the time he's able to make his first pass in a possession the shot clock is down to 10

Pop is doing him a great diservice by forcing him to play PG. He's great at what he knows what to do: be an off ball player, getting looks by moving around and working as a secondary playmaker when the defense is already in scrambling mode. This other thing Pop is trying is just making the fan base turn on the poor guy.

[boutons_deux]

Horrible end to first quarter

[CorrectCrusader]

Finally a good pop challenge

[DAF86]

I appreciate your commitment to this argument

Imma beat it to the ground untill everybody gets it. It really bothers me that some people can be so blind to something so obvious, tbh.

[boutons_deux]

VW misses yet another 3

I think he must be under 30% now on 3Gs

[KDKSpurs24]

Why bring Wemby bck in the game for the last play if it's not to use him??

Just standing in the middle...
He wasn’t brought in for the last play because he was standing at the scorers table for over a minute. But he should have been involved in the play regardless.

[spursparker9]

Champaigne is scrub tbh

[scott]

I like SVG as an announcer. Way better than his brother.

[TekXX]

We'll always have memories of summer league Champaignie

[jeebus]

These guys suck. They just don't care.

[scott]

The only thing more painful than watching these other guys bring up the ball is watching Wemby bring it up.

[spursparker9]

We'll always have memories of summer league Champaignie

:lol

[onechance87]

of course turnovers

[playbonner15]

Graham sighting

[SPURt]

Champenis looks real bad. I had higher hopes for him

[CorrectCrusader]

Graham comes in and immediately makes plays.

[jeebus]

Oh shit, an actual PG on the court. Yes please

[spursparker9]

Champenis looks real bad. I had higher hopes for him

He don't look like NBA level player tbh

[jeebus]

Graham on a mission to get Wemby the ball every time

[Dex]

Beautiful Game team is rolling in their graves right now

It's not reasonable to hold a young team to their standard, but this is still tough to watch

[spursparker9]

Lucky 3 by Champaigne

[tbdog]

Champagne needed that going through the net.

[hoopdreams11]

where’s Devin?

[John B]

Finally Champagnie. He's like 1-10 and making stupid plays... I'm second guessing this guy as a choker.. hopefully he proves me wrong.

[TekXX]

Did Vassell injure his groin again?

[KDKSpurs24]

Get Doug out of the game!!!!!

[emanueldavidginobili]

Graham looks like a top 2 passer on this team.

[heyheymymy]

Doug 2 TOs at least and allowed 2 easy baskets in 1Q jusy that I've seen yeesh

[TekXX]

McDermott is trash holy fuck.

[r0drig0lac]

Wemby

[CorrectCrusader]

Champ gets an A+ for an F bomb on live TV

[TheBallsbreakers]

See how easy it is to score when you pass to the biggest man on the court under the basket?

[Leetonidas]

McNugget sucks

[John B]

Another stupid fucking lazy pass by McDermont

[boutons_deux]

Just give Wemby the ball for the inbound lmaooo what the fuck are these guys doing.

Sucking

[CorrectCrusader]

bruh that's so fucking gay lol

[TheBallsbreakers]

That's dumb. How TF was that a tech?

[jeebus]

Probably the weakest T in the universe

[Rocalcio]

First technical for Wemby

[TheBallsbreakers]

These guys don't know how to pass. LOB IT UP

[TekXX]

Wemby please don't apologize to the ref, tell him to go fuck himself, stupid call.

[CorrectCrusader]

Damn Champ!

[TheBallsbreakers]

I was about to say Jaylen Williams has a punchable face and then he gets decked! wooohooo

[spursparker9]

lol Champaigne got potential to be Ron Artest...Just now he knock over Chet too

[CorrectCrusader]

Man Vassell is so fucking good

[jeebus]

lmao OKC fans whining cuz their bitch boy got blocked

[spursparker9]

Wemby please don't apologize to the ref, tell him to go fuck himself, stupid call.

He is not American enough

[TekXX]

Sochan is good at defense ehh?

[TheBallsbreakers]

bahaha

[John B]

But that was a nice move by Branham, splitting the defense.

[jeebus]

SVG like "yeah when you don't have a PG, your team is gonna suck".

[TekXX]

I can see why Sochan despises Pop know, he's making him look bad.

[TheBallsbreakers]

WTF

[emanueldavidginobili]

lmaooo how is that a set? Giving it to Collins with Chet defending him. Ridiculous

[John B]

flop on Sochan??

[jeebus]

lmao

[CorrectCrusader]

This has to be the most brain dead team of all time

[Mikeanaro]

Between the shitty plays and the stupid calls this is a disaster.

[benefactor]

Well they look decent for a bit anyway. Baby steps I suppose

[John B]

Malaki was open

[Leetonidas]

That was quite the meltdown

[DAF86]

It's really worrisome that they are this bad defensively. Sochan, Vassell and Wemby were all supossed to be great defenders.

[KDKSpurs24]

Team is soft, clumsy and dumb! They’re just manhandling us and we can’t catch passes or make the correct passes..

[boutons_deux]

Another horrible end to the quarter going into the half

[John B]

That should be a delay on Giddey

[TekXX]

Well that went well.

[ginobilized]

Gotta throw the ball high to Wemby, when will they learn?!?!

[onechance87]

get graham back in....this is frustriating to watch fck

[LakerHater]

Team was doin so well with sochan on the bench

[TimDunkem]

This offense is so ass.

[Pauleta14]

Worst passing abilities in the league. ridiculous

[Chinook]

Another example for why Sean is foolish for calling on the Spurs to keep lobbing it to Wemby so often. It's not that hard to defend a raw lob. He's not "always" open.

[TheBallsbreakers]

lmaooo how is that a set? Giving it to Collins with Chet defending him. Ridiculous
I swear this team seems to operate at half-a-brain sometimes.
It's like they can't process real-time mismatches.

[jeebus]

Can't pass, can't catch the ball if a pass is made, horrible court awareness, getting bullied and their response is to whine to the refs, and looking like absolute fools on defense. Well, we've seen what this core can do. Hopefully the dipshits in charge can fix this in the offseason.

[hoopdreams11]

we have no dogs nobody going after the rebound we could have had at least 3 off rebounds. If Sochan is hurt sit him down.

[spurraider21]

its hard to be a good passing team when you literally have no point guard

[SouthernFryd]

Wow...we're only down 10. That is kind of a miracle...letsgo!!! lol

[TheBallsbreakers]

Another example for why Sean is foolish for call for the Spurs to keep lobbing it to Wemby so often. It's not that hard to defend a raw lob. He's not "always" open.
Pass was too low on that one.

[Blizzardwizard]

Currently singing 'we'll never win again' to the tune of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

[thiste]

Another example for why Sean is foolish for calling on the Spurs to keep lobbing it to Wemby so often. It's not that hard to defend a raw lob. He's not "always" open.

Should have been higher, would've been a dunk.

[boutons_deux]

VW standing in the corner by himself

Spurs shoot with the long rebound

VW is running to the other end

The long rebound comes right to where VW was standing so he has to run back from mid court to try to keep the ball in bounds, hilarious

VW's BBIQ really sucks

[spursparker9]

Wow...we're only down 10. That is kind of a miracle...letsgo!!! lol

Will be down by 30 in the 2nd half

[John B]

I hate this in-season courts.. damn they're so hard to the eyes

[Splits]

time for the -25 3rd quarter

[John B]

Wemby with already 11 attempts

[CorrectCrusader]

It's really worrisome that they are this bad defensively. Sochan, Vassell and Wemby were all supossed to be great defenders.

Vassell has been a good defender this year.

[spursparker9]

He’s 19.

[John B]

Did Charles Barkeley just called Devin as taking bad shots, that's why he's a streaky?

[onechance87]

Vassell has been a good defender this year.

could be better

[Dverde]

At least the defense was a little better.

[KDKSpurs24]

Did Charles Barkeley just called Devin as taking bad shots, that's why he's a streaky?
Since the first TNT game he’s said that Vassell takes bad shots. Which isn’t really a false statement. His shot selection difficulty is much higher than what you would want. I’m kinda surprised when some of them go in.

[Chinook]

Pass was too low on that one.


Should have been higher, would've been a dunk.

Nah. Like maybe it doesn't get blocked from getting to Wemby if it's higher, but Victor isn't getting his full jump in traffic. It would be a low-percentage pass. Dude was at least double-covered. I wouldn't feel confident in him securing the catch and scoring even if he got a clean attempt. Not every team has the defensive principles of the Suns.

[CorrectCrusader]

Did Charles Barkeley just called Devin as taking bad shots, that's why he's a streaky?

Yeah he said that

[TekXX]

Did Charles Barkeley just called Devin as taking bad shots, that's why he's a streaky?

You don't think there's something to that? He seems mostly on so far this year but yea he was def streaky the last couple years.

[SouthernFryd]

I've been giving POP crap for bad coaching. Nothing new, I've been saying it for 20 years.

But, these players...wow. Really bad. I'd only keep 2. Collins and Wemby...maybe Branham. As good as Vassel is on offense, is how bad he is on Defense.

So, it's not all Pops fault I guess. Tho, he prolly had something to do with roster selection. And it's not just this game. They haven't been able to put together decent entry passes since the beginning of the season. Can't guard 3 point line...at all. Etc...lot to do with POP.

But, these are some pretty awful players.

[Raven]

energy really fell off in the end of the second quarter and didn't really like the sets we were getting into, but champagnie imo is for real, it is not the first time he looks a legitimate talent on the defensive end.

[Pauleta14]

Devin misses a PG as much as Victor. Hence the bad (difficults) shots

[CorrectCrusader]

Man every game VW has insane passes that the shooter just bricks

[TekXX]

I prefer the Van Gundys as announcers over the other kiss ass announcers.

[TimDunkem]

Sochan is an idiot. His man passes the ball and he chases it immediately, running into Wemby, leaving his man wide open.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Big dude open down low and chooses to pass out in the perimeter for a turnover.

[jeebus]

Another lazy pass. That's weird.

[CorrectCrusader]

Fuck it call Isaiah Thomas it can't be worse than what we got for PG rn

[PhantomDashCam]

Champ has been great defensively in this but what the hell happened to his shot?
Reminds me of Anthony Tolliver from back in the day…

[TekXX]

Fucking pop taking a timeout when he knows he's putting a guy outmatched out there, get a mirror pop.

[John B]

Fucking lazy passes

[spurraider21]

chuck is right about vassell. for all the talk about him bulking up and all that, he's still just taking a lot of step back contested shots... that to his credit he's gotten good at. but you cant live off of that. vassell needs to be able to get to the rim and free throw line more consistently.

to be fair, on an offense as directionless as this, we are kind of in a perpetual state of needing bailout shots

[onechance87]

my goodness champ...ur bad

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

god the spurs is just so bad as a team. no one can play defense

[couchman]

Unreal how bad we are at protecting the ball.
Need to make OKC pay for the overplays

[TheBallsbreakers]

That wraparound pass was a beaut.

[John B]

Collins could've gotten that pass instead

[Kawhi Duncan]

Lol @ not having a PG and ppl thinking Pop is doing next level coaching... Funny how OKC didn't need to make Giddey a PG in order to develop his passing skills... Turns out you can have an actual PG while developing another player

[emanueldavidginobili]

Welp Julian got his chance and folded.

[thiste]

Nah. Like maybe it doesn't get blocked from getting to Wemby if it's higher, but Victor isn't getting his full jump in traffic. It would be a low-percentage pass. Dude was at least double-covered. I wouldn't feel confident in him securing the catch and scoring even if he got a clean attempt. Not every team has the defensive principles of the Suns.

No. There was just the one guy in front of him.

[boutons_deux]

He’s 19.

Lol

Good coaches drill basketball fundamentals into high school players

[Raven]

Devin misses a PG as much as Victor. Hence the bad (difficults) shots
i would agree, but he's never really open.. doesn't really move much without the ball

[CorrectCrusader]

Vassell heard Chuck and said "You right"

[KingKev]

Is coach Pop the worst coach in NBA or just tanking?

[Rocalcio]

its hard to be a good passing team when you literally have no point guard

We’re one of the best team in assists this season.

[TekXX]

Everyone but Wemby touched the ball, i mean how?

[spurraider21]

im glad chet missed that 3 earlier but

why. the. fuck. is collins doubling off him with the ball hander 5 feet away and not posing an immediate threat

[spursparker9]

OKC is the 2nd youngest team but their future is set...Probably the team to challenge Denver in the WCF soon.

[r0drig0lac]

game

[Raven]

devin is getting demolished on D

[CorrectCrusader]

Is coach Pop the worst coach in NBA or just tanking?

Yes

[spursparker9]

Will be down by 30 in the 2nd half

only 10 more points to go now :lol

[Leetonidas]

Man this team blows. If Wemby isn't on they're unwatchable

[jeebus]

lmao buttfucking quitters

[TekXX]

Wemby missing easy ass layups, jesus christ

[Splits]

lmao great defense

[freetiago]

Same story every game. Win first quarter and lose the game or get blown out. Victor rushing things when he gets the ball

[John B]

Man that's 20 pts down

[spurraider21]

lmao buttfucking quitters
i think the proper term is gutless worms

[BatManu20]

Vassell is such a horrible defender :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Does PATFO know of another generational talent coming out of this next draft and they're intentionally tanking lmao. Or does this roster and coaching staff just suck. Going with the ladder.

[objective]

Hmmm things aren't working at all. Better go with another Collins post up to get everything back on track

[Kawhi Duncan]

Isn't Sohan supposed to be some elite defender and that's why Pop wanted to put him as a PG? seems to me he is constantly getting destroyed... So you might as well put Tre Jones to start because although he is undersized, he at least has better IQ on both ends... And if the concern was his size being taken advantage of, what's the difference with Sohan?

[Chinook]

No. There was just the one guy in front of him.

There were multiple people around him. They all matter because any of them could disrupt that play if the ball goes elsewhere

[TimDunkem]

Vassell has become such a great shooter. Shame his defense is so ass.

[Kurgan]

Didn't we draft Vassell and Sochan based on their defensive upside? They've been getting cooked all night

[Dex]

Is coach Pop the worst coach in NBA or just tanking?

According to people around here, we aren't tanking...just "experimenting"

Yes, experimenting our way into another top 5 pick

[jeebus]

Does PATFO know of another generational talent coming out of this next draft and they're intentionally tanking lmao. Or does this roster and coaching staff just suck. Going with the ladder.

This upcoming draft is supposed to be fairly weak. The team is tuning his geriatric ass out.

[Leetonidas]

Vassell peaked on defense as a rookie

[TheBallsbreakers]

This team just isn't good. Wemby will be great but right now it seems he's not even sure himself where he fits in. What Popovich said how they're still learning how Wemby operates is just lazy coaching.
Wemby's teammates aren't good but he needs to be held accountable as well.

:lol why do I feel like Wemby with the okc roster coached under pop would still underwhelm and suck

[r0drig0lac]

Does PATFO know of another generational talent coming out of this next draft and they're intentionally tanking lmao. Or does this roster and coaching staff just suck. Going with the ladder.

what's with the butter hands, like seriously

[jeebus]

Wemby wide open, Sochan ignores him and throw a cross court pass :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

Okay it's out on the spurs but how is that not a shooting foul lmao

[Dverde]

Pop going to Jerry Sloan this thing until he is forced to stop. He should have a role like Pat Riley with the team.

[TekXX]

oh no streaky Vassell has showed up

[Cardinal]

Sochan's hands are some of the worst you'll see

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Sochan has horrible awareness

[tbdog]

Vassell is such a horrible defender :lol

He was pretty good as a rookie.

[TimDunkem]

Wemby wide open, Sochan ignores him and throw a cross court pass :lol

That was shockingly bad, but unsurprising considering who made the play. He's young...but Sochan is a glorified hustle player right now, and his IQ is extremely low. It's glaring.

Because the Spurs look like a poorly coached team and OKC like a well coached team.

[spurraider21]

nothing on this planet gets me more hard than watching possession where sochan calls his own number and nobody else touches the ball during a possession

[Pauleta14]

Wemby is not big enough for Sochan to see him

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan sucks dude holy shit

[Blizzardwizard]

How do you preach accountability to young players when you make a guy who just presided over a 22-win season the highest-paid coach in the NBA?

[BatManu20]

Sochan at PG is a disaster.

[TheBallsbreakers]

SGA is smooth, man. So smooth.

[Rocalcio]

You guys keep complaining again and again, that’s depressing… This team is young, just give them time or go watch something else.

[FkLA]

What's the fascination with this Giddey guy? Looks average af, tbh.
