Spurs at Warriors, Nov. 24, 9 PM CST

[CorrectCrusader]

I FUCKING HATE THIS LOW IQ BASKETBALL FUCK ME

[Raven]

vessell and jones should NEVER play together

[CorrectCrusader]

Vassell has contracted Blake Wesley disease

[BatManu20]

Vassell cheeses the open layup which leads to a Curry 3. Beautiful.

Side note*: Curry is still elite.

[Kurgan]

lol at Vassell blowing that fast break. The talent on this team sucks ass outside of Wemby.

[baseline bum]

These motherfuckers pressed Chris Paul to give Gary Payton II a wide open dunk. Stupidest fucking team I have ever seen.

[Obstructed_View]

Vassell calls for the press and then let's the guy get past him.

[Splits]

Kerr needs to get these fans under control. Anything that goes wrong for Wemby and they cheer :cry

[Obstructed_View]

Vic leaks out, someone finally throws him the pass and he goes up lazy.

[Proxy]

Crazy how the team makes a run with a PG, our two best players, and two vet shooters on the court

[cd98]

Remember when Parker/Manu fast break always ended with a basket? Good times.

[BatManu20]

Spurs finish the quarter on a 9-0 run. I believe tbh :cry

[ace3g]

Spurs finally back in the flow state to end the 3rd.

[CorrectCrusader]

VW hard carrying

[Spurminator]

Crazy how the team makes a run with a PG, our two best players, and two vet shooters on the court

And the other team's best player, one of the best in the history of the NBA, on the bench.

[CGD]

Damn how is Malaki only shooting 27% from 3 this season?

[SPURt]

Hallelujah! Still in the game after 3 quarters!

[TheGreatYacht]

Sochan and Collins are coming back in aren’t they

[Obstructed_View]

Sloppy ball and they still manage to do a lot of good things. Put together a complete quarter and you can win this game.

[onechance87]

wemby the only playing d....Get this man some help

[NASpurs]

Damn how is Malaki only shooting 27% from 3 this season?

Because he doesn't have much outside of that mid-range pullup. The dude is a one-trick pony.

[thiste]

Can believe they're only giving him 2 blocks rn

He's had 5 easily...

[baseline bum]

Damn how is Malaki only shooting 27% from 3 this season?

He fucking sucks that's how

[Kurgan]

Competent basketball to close the 3rd. Sad that it's all gonna come crashing down when the two retards(Zollins and Sochan) come back in

[Barfunk]

Has Osmand even done much lately? Seems like mostly clanks from him.

[BatManu20]

Vassell sucking ass tonight. You hate to see it

[Proxy]

And the other team's best player, one of the best in the history of the NBA, on the bench.
They heard you and lost their confidence lol

[AusSpur]

Jones has stopped passing to Wemby these days, leaving only Collins and Vassell.

[BatManu20]

Spurs finish the quarter on a 9-0 run. I believe tbh :cry

Warriors open the quarter on a quick 8-0 run. I no longer believe tbh.

[spursparker9]

Game

[cd98]

No excuses, missing easy shots and poor defense.

[baseline bum]

God I hate this team. Yeah let's only get the ball to Victor at the three point line.

[TheGreatYacht]

Game. McDogshit and Assman not being able to do the only they get paid to do..

[Pauleta14]

Tre Jones is not an NBA player

At best G league

[thiste]

Has Osmand even done much lately? Seems like mostly clanks from him.

He's having a bad game indeed

[rascal]

lol at Vassell blowing that fast break. The talent on this team sucks ass outside of Wemby.

Spurs better start targeting players with athleticism. The team lacks team athleticism when compared with other teams. Spurs can’t finish on fast breaks.

[SPURt]

Damn… there go the wheels

[spursparker9]

Jones has stopped passing to Wemby these days, leaving only Collins and Vassell.

He has stopped passing to Wemby after he was back from injuries. 0 assists to Wemby since

[Tyronn Lue]

Kerr needs to get these fans under control. Anything that goes wrong for Wemby and they cheer :cry
Poking the Koala bear

[baseline bum]

Has Osmand even done much lately? Seems like mostly clanks from him.

Ugh I want our second round pick back

[BatManu20]

Tre Jones is not an NBA player

At best G league

Tre Jones would be a fine backup on a good team tbh. But you surround him with shit like this Spurs roster and ask him to do more than he’s capable and it’s not going to be pretty.

[NASpurs]

Spurs better start targeting players with athleticism. The team lacks team athleticism when compared with other teams. Spurs can’t finish on fast breaks.

Athleticism, IQ, play makers, shooters, defenders etc. This team is lacking a lot.

[NASpurs]

Tre Jones would be a fine backup on a good team tbh. But you surround him with shit like this Spurs roster and ask him to do more than he’s capable and it’s not going to be pretty.

There's like five other guys on the team who fit this description as well.

[Splits]

Pop called a post play for VW out of a timeout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Barfunk]

Ugh I want our second round pick back

At this point indeed..

[AusSpur]

How is that not foul shots when he is trying to tip in the pass!

[Proxy]

Pls keep calling shit out RJ and Reddick

[onechance87]

Tre Jones would be a fine backup on a good team tbh. But you surround him with shit like this Spurs roster and ask him to do more than he’s capable and it’s not going to be pretty.

lol....stop it....dude is undersize... and cant shoot

[Tyronn Lue]

Athleticism, IQ, play makers, shooters, defenders etc. This team is lacking a lot.
Including salaries. They are 26th. You don't always get what you pay for but you almost always never get what you don't pay for.

[BatManu20]

Wemby has cp3 guarding him in the paint and Zollins jacks yet another 3 (now 0-6 tonight)…. Fuck me sideways.

[scott]

Wemby guarded by CP3 in the paint and Collins launches another bricked 3. That about sums up the season.

[Kurgan]

Spurs better start targeting players with athleticism. The team lacks team athleticism when compared with other teams. Spurs can’t finish on fast breaks.

Kawhi leaving scared the organization so much that they no longer draft based on athleticism or high basketball iq. It's nothing but high character guys who don't excel at anything in particular. A squad of mediocre youngsters with bench/role player ceilings(if they're lucky). All those lotto picks since Kawhi and nothing to show for it besides Wemby(who was a no brainer pick).

[NASpurs]

Nothing like a Collins 3 pointer clank to deflate the team.

[Pauleta14]

Tre Jones would be a fine backup on a good team tbh. But you surround him with shit like this Spurs roster and ask him to do more than he’s capable and it’s not going to be pretty.

What is he supposed to be good at? Passing?

what prevents him from doing that?

[mikec]

LOL ignore wemby guarded by cp0 in the paint for a zollins missed 3

[CorrectCrusader]

Tony Brothers sucks donkey dick

[SPURt]

That Collins 3 with Wemby being guarded by Paul is unacceptable. Pop needs to bench players for that bullshit.

[TekXX]

Spurs are vinnying on the three point line.

[testies]

fire moon face

[Tyronn Lue]

Kawhi leaving scared the organization so much that they no longer draft based on athleticism or high basketball iq. It's nothing but high character guys who don't excel at anything in particular.

So Josh Primo was a character guy?

[baseline bum]

Athleticism, IQ, play makers, shooters, defenders etc. This team is lacking a lot.

Team needs ten players and a coach

[baseline bum]

LOL ignore wemby guarded by cp0 in the paint for a zollins missed 3

You post this like you're even surprised :lol

[NASpurs]

Team needs ten players and a coach

The buffalo diarrhea GM doesn't help matters.

[cd98]

Incoming 3 point barrage from GSW…

[scott]

That Collins 3 with Wemby being guarded by Paul is unacceptable. Pop needs to bench players for that bullshit.

Pop will probably say he is pleased with the effort and the heart of Collins, such courage to keep jacking up bricks. No 0-fer is too big to deter him. That’s heart.

[Pauleta14]

In the end it's on Pop is Wemby's teammates aren't looking for him

Communist strategy. Get over yourself Victor!

[Kurgan]

So Josh Primo was a character guy?

That was the Spurs belief when they drafted him. They went on and on about it. Just goes to show how flawed and terrible that draft strategy has been.

[CorrectCrusader]

Pop will probably say he is pleased with the effort and the heart of Collins, such courage to keep jacking up bricks. No 0-fer is too big to deter him. That’s heart.

KobMe mentality

[Mikeanaro]

Lol at this point Collins is weaker that a baby, lame ass 3s.

[baseline bum]

LOL Wiggins making a Zollins pass

[BatManu20]

Zollins 0/7 from 3 and still firing it up without hesitation like he’s Steph :lol

[baseline bum]

This team is so bad McDermott is my third favorite player on the roster

[Kurgan]

Colins is so fucking bad it makes me miss Jakob

[baseline bum]

Victor, stop fucking shooting early shot clock threes

[BatManu20]

Wemby you’re 7’5 goddammit, quit firing up 3’s and get your ass in the paint so your teammates can continue to ignore you down there tbh.

[baseline bum]

Colins is so fucking bad it makes me miss Jakob

Collins makes me miss Marc Iavaroni

[Pauleta14]

Guys, he's shooting stupid 3s as a "FUCK YOU" to his teammates for not passing

Both are linked

[TheGreatYacht]

Trade all the first round picks to get Chip back. Wright would’ve picked more Branham, Primo, and Wesley’s anyways

[Splits]

at least they didn't fold. just have a bunch of shitty players. played tough tbh

[PhantomDashCam]

Wemby your 7’5 goddammit, quit firing up 3’s and get your ass in the paint so your teammates can continue to ignore you down there tbh.
:lol

[AusSpur]

You could clearly see Saric grab Collins arm and pull it down on the rebound, then GS get it for a Curry 3. Game over. These refs have been abysmal.

[TekXX]

Good challenge, but Keldon totally embleshed that, i don't blame him for trying to whack Paul.

[Pauleta14]

I'm not a Pop hater like many of you, massive respect for him and his career

But 75 yo is way too old for the job

It's just physically and emotionally draining and he OBVIOUSLY can't assume the charge anymore

[cd98]

I’m fine with Collins on offense, but his defense is just awful.

[baseline bum]

Victor's on the bench, I'm checking out too

[Chinook]

Wemby was never open during that possession folks are complaining about. There always at least two people guarding him. While Collins shooting threes sucks, it would've probably been better for Wemby to stay where he was for a put-back rather than leave the paint. GS has had years to practice denying entry passes on mismatches. That's why the Spurs need to run and actual offense rather than do shit like Sean calls for.

[PhantomDashCam]

I’m fine with Collins on offense, but his defense is just awful.

He and Malaki are The Splat! Brothers

[CorrectCrusader]

Love our best player being a 19 year old and pop treating him like 40 year old tim duncan

[CorrectCrusader]

Keldon yelling "DUNK THAT SHIT" at wemby made me giddy

[CorrectCrusader]

Suns level choke possible

[bbarry]

we're still gonna come up short are we

[BatManu20]

Lol Keldon with a horrible shot attempt. That’s game.

[TekXX]

WTF was that.

[AusSpur]

That was a flaming poo bag pass by Wemby.

He had to try get to the basket.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Love our best player being a 19 year old and pop treating him like 40 year old tim duncan

It's for 2 reasons:

1. People who are taller than humans are supposed to be like Wemby seem to have a greater risk of injuries.
2. With derpy teammates who can't hit open 3s or make entry passes, it would be a waste to put a ton of mileage on Wemby this season. Just draft a 2nd fully-talented player with the 2024 lotto pick.

[scott]

LOL Spurs pull within 4 with the ball and deliver the prototypical garbage possession

Glad we aren’t bothering with coaching this year

[CorrectCrusader]

the ESPN crew is blind it literally went off GP2s hand

[Tyronn Lue]

Dude is 8 feet tall, pretty sure the ball can get to him safely.

[Barfunk]

We'll feel much better after getting another top 5 pick I suppose...

[cd98]

Time for a Collins 3?

[LaMarcus Bryant]

This announcing crew just can't stop jacking off gsw

[spurraider21]

There was definitely an opening. But they need more skilled passers. Probably needed more of a line drive pass with some zip so it could get there before the help defender. You can get away with the line drive trajectory due to Vics radius. Don’t need it to be lobbed over the fronting defender and have it drop to wemby

[baseline bum]

this is massive cope

[cd98]

Wemby 3 looked good.

[Chinook]

Dude is 8 feet tall, pretty sure the ball can get to him safely.

No. That's what people don't get. His theoretical catch radius and his contested catch window are very different

[cd98]

Branham

Only after Sochan runs 10 seconds off the clock.

[Mikeanaro]

After all the stupid baskets missed, this was a winnable game.
It shows how low Warriors are.
And we get a new L!

[Tyronn Lue]

That was the Spurs belief when they drafted him. They went on and on about it. Just goes to show how flawed and terrible that draft strategy has been.
They've always wanted high character guys, and haven't had the most athletic team ever, minus David Robinson's prime years. They've managed by having a generational talent/high character player in the same person. They also always had a veteran presence and actual hidden talent that the coaches have been able to refine. The Spurs benches of the past would stomp the shit out of these starters night in and night out.

[BackHome]

So we are now blaming Sean instead of Pop. Lol. J/K

[Raven]

no problem with this loss, team played well and competed. Simply triples weren't falling today.

[TekXX]

Ahh Pop and Kerr kissed, that's nice.

[baseline bum]

Well, it was only a single digit loss to a team that has lost 7 of its last 8. So I guess that qualifies as progress?

[TekXX]

Well, it was only a single digit loss to a team that has lost 7 of its last 8. So I guess that qualifies as progress?

They beat the Suns twice in their gym, so my guess is this means absolutely nothing.

[z0sa]

Spurs are getting better, but clearly are garbage outside of Wemby. Vassell would have a hope if he knew how to pass

[Budkin]

At least we’re getting a little better. All you can ask for at this point.

[Mugen]

Criminal.

[SPURt]

Branham and Collins were awful, but ultimate Curry played like a hall of famer. Good effort though. KJ, Vassell, Wemby and Sochan were overall good tonight.

[baseline bum]

Spurs are getting better, but clearly are garbage outside of Wemby. Vassell would have a hope if he knew how to pass

Golden State tried to give this game away and had dropped 7 of their last 8 until tonight.

[Mugen]

At least we’re getting a little better. All you can ask for at this point.

The only progress I've seen during the losing streak is Wemby tbh. I mean I guess that's something.

[Mugen]

Collins and Branham going a combined 0-12 from 3 and giving you absolutely nothing on defense is just criminal :lol

[z0sa]

Golden State tried to give this game away and had dropped 7 of their last 8 until tonight.

100% agree. It was funny watching all of your predictions come true dude, funny in a better to laugh than cry in my Duncan jersey way.

[Degoat]

Why can’t Sochan just go to the bench? Even Prime Diaw came off the bench for the suns most of the time.

[rascal]

Golden State tried to give this game away and had dropped 7 of their last 8 until tonight.

The Clippers with Harden were also losing often until they played the Spurs.

[Pauleta14]

Not ONE Spurs basket in the ESPN highlights lmao

[Tyronn Lue]

No. That's what people don't get. His theoretical catch radius and his contested catch window are very different
Contested catch over Chris fucking Paul where the success is a dunk and possible trip to the FT line vs a contested 3 by a scrub.

[BackHome]

Only two teams in the NBA right now are 0 an 10 in last 10 games played - Detroit and the Spurs.

[Tyronn Lue]

Collins and Branham going a combined 0-12 from 3 and giving you absolutely nothing on defense is just criminal :lol
At least they didn't throw into that contested catch window while Victor was covered by Mugsy Bogues. That could have been bad.

[SAGirl]

I feel like the Spurs lost that game on account of Pop or whomever telling players to foul Curry and Thompson at the end of the game. With the way they were coughing up the ball, it seems like a better choice would have been to play some pressure defense and live with the results. Fouling them was guaranteed score. Spurs got it within a possession but couldn’t get stops with that strategy…

not a 40pt blowout = moral victory

[Chinook]

You can get away with the line drive trajectory due to Vics radius. Don’t need it to be lobbed over the fronting defender and have it drop to wemby

The passer in both cases had a guy in his face. There's this cycle folks keep going through:

1) Situation happens where Wemby calls for the ball and doesn't get it

2) Folks get mad and think the Spurs missed him

3) Later situation happens where Wemby calls for the pass, the guy passes it and it gets broken up, fumbled or intercepted.

4) Folks assume the Spurs have uniquely awful passers despite them being among the league leaders in assists for multiple years.

They don't notice that

5) Sochan and Collins get entry passes all the time without much issue

Which means

6) The Spurs players are clearly able to recognize a open teammate with a mismatch and are physically capable of throwing a catchable pass

That should lead to

7) The fans consider the possibility that the pass in 3) wasn't actually that easy, and that's why in 1) they are chose to not attempt it. They just assume everyone is extraordinarily bad and go back to 1).

No, this doesn't mean Wemby sucks. But it's one of the ways him being young and raw is showing up. It's why Pop being so free form with the offense is so annoying, because a Wemby who has opportunities for good looks is one who's going to play much better in all aspects of the game. Also, a guy like Sochan who's having to learn a new position should probably have an actual offense to learn rather than having to deal with all of this chaos. Johnson, Vassell and everyone else should have an offense to get used to their roles.

I'm totally with fans annoyed with how Wemby's being used and how unable the team seems to be in getting him good looks in high-percentage areas. But the solution isn't to pretend like he's prime Shaq who can dominate down low, and it's not to assume that being 7-4 means there's always an angle to get him the ball. Right now, it seems like it's on Wemby to get himself open, and he's doing so without coordinating his movements with the guys he expects to pass him the ball. Then the other guys are trying to figure out when to make what are actually not easy passes to him, to call their own numbers or to try to run something. And they have to take the blame for the lack of guidance.

[SAGirl]

The game was over halfway through the 3rd tbh :lol
Did we watch the same game? It seemed over but that GSW team is one of the worst I have seen GS field except for that season where they tanked for their bust center… If not for Curry they are even more hopeless than the Spurs. Yeah I saw the chef cooking but he also coughed up the ball a lot with the game on the line allowing the Spurs to get close. It was a very winnable game, but of course if your strategy is to start fouling Curry and Thompson and hoping they miss, well I don’t know what to say to you.

[baseline bum]

The Clippers with Harden were also losing often until they played the Spurs.

I couldn't even feel anything about the Clipper losses when they blew a home game to Memphis by double digits.

[baseline bum]

5) Sochan and Collins get entry passes all the time without much issue


Half the time they're from Victor tbh

[SAGirl]

I couldn't even feel anything about the Clipper losses when they blew a home game to Memphis by double digits.
Honestly things at this point look so hopeless that I expect them to lose every single game … I have felt this way in recent years before… but I don’t know if this happens to you, but secretly I kind of hoped they would win some games (I didn’t watch them last season though because not a single game was on national TV).. anyways as a fan one kind of always hope… except this season. I don’t feel like Pop is trying to win at this point tbqh …

Nah, it was over in the 3rd. Spurs had a little flukey run at the end because the Warriors started coasting. You can tell because the Dubs started the 4th with an 8-0 run :lol

It's literally been the same ol story for most of this 11 game losing streak:
-They'll sometime start off hot in the 1st because teams underestimate them.
-Any competent team usually adjusts by late 1st or mid 2nd and any sort of lead has evaporated.
-Pop does whatever he usually does at halftime which results in the Spurs usually losing the quarter by 10+ :lol
-Opponent takes the foot of the gas again and fans mistake their garbage time runs as any semblance of progress

The 3rd quarter is the true representation of this team from talent to coaching, etc. And they've gotten their absolute doors blown off each and every time. Same as all the other games, the game was over midway through the 3rd :lol

[Chinook]

Contested catch over Chris fucking Paul where the success is a dunk and possible trip to the FT line vs a contested 3 by a scrub.

It wasn't "over Chris Paul". It was among three Warriors. Has it been so long that fans don't know what it's like to have a star on the team anymore? Wemby is never, ever going to get uncontested catches against a set defense. Teams will stop that. People need to stop zeroing in on Wemby and look at the rest of the court. There were multiple Warriors ready to contest the pass, including one guarding the ball. That's why they swung it to Collins hoping to get a different angle. But they (was it Sochan or Johnson? Well whoever and Collins) were too close, and the Warriors were able to shift to take away the pass again. Collins didn't WANT to shoot that shot, but there was literally no one open. It boggles my mind that people assume Collins, who's one of the top centers in the league passing the ball, wants to take an out-of-rhythm three there.

[baseline bum]

I have never seen a season I expect to lose every game like this year. Not last year. Not 96-97 after David broke his foot. Not 85-86 after Johnny Moore nearly died from desert fever. And the whole rest of the league can see what a fuck up Pop is. It's why they put swings on Victor because they know the team isn't going to pass it to him in the paint so put a guy who has hands and feet quick enough to take away Vic's face up game.

[Chinook]

Half the time they're from Victor tbh

Which is weird considering Victor never gets the ball and thus shouldn't be able to pass it.

Still with all that, with the Warriors relaxing so much and coasting as you say, they could have stolen it if you want to frame it like that. Even bad teams win games if you don’t show up…that was a winnable game. Honestly for me fouling Curry and Thompson was throwing the towel in.

I think we're inevitably saying the same thing that the Spurs have a horrible coach. We're just disagreeing on the timing of the ineptitude :lol

I can't remember a single team across any sport this horribly coached tbh.

The hilarious thing is that this "experiment" bullshit will ultimately amount to nothing and the old man will revert to what the majority of non-retards on the board are begging him to do either late this season or some time next, and the Sniff Crew will be amazed at his "adjustments" :lol

The start of this season has been absolutely criminal. I don't think it's an overreaction to say he's set back the development of Sochan and Wemby at least a season or two. Jeremy would be so fucking good on any other team in the league and the old man is trying to turn him into Speedy Claxton. Criminal, just absolutely criminal.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wemby will leave once his rookie contract is up unless the spurs can show they are the right team to build with

[Robz4000]

Didn't see the game. Any cliffnotes?

[Mugen]

Didn't see the game. Any cliffnotes?

Literally the exact same story as the 10 previous losses tbh :lol

I think we're inevitably saying the same thing that the Spurs have a horrible coach. We're just disagreeing on the timing of the ineptitude :lol
Yeah. I have questioned Pop a lot before, but this is another level… to the point that it looks intentional but maybe it isn’t. Just thought he decided to start fouling Curry and Thompson to ensure the tank… it’s the kind of move tankathon teams do.

[Robz4000]

Literally the exact same story as the 10 previous losses tbh :lol

Well fuck.

[SAGirl]

Didn't see the game. Any cliffnotes?
Despite the same old same old, GSW started turning over the ball like crazy due to Spurs solid D and perhaps their own issues as a team (thought this is a very weak GSW team tbqh with you - no Draymond and they missed him, the screens he sets and the two man game with Curry)… anyways, on the back of those GSW TO the Spurs got it to within a possession but then Pop said, well let’s ensure the tank and decided to stop playing straight up D and fouling Curry and Thompson who converted every shot and despite some hustle from Johnson and the Spurs scoring every possession they couldn’t steal that game-as it were. I’d have played straight up D and live with the results. Rest of the game is very forgettable, but this was winnable. Watch like the last couple of minutes

[baseline bum]

I can't remember a single team across any sport this horribly coached tbh.

The hilarious thing is that this "experiment" bullshit will ultimately amount to nothing and the old man will revert to what the majority of non-retards on the board are begging him to do either late this season or some time next, and the Sniff Crew will be amazed at his "adjustments" :lol

The start of this season has been absolutely criminal. I don't think it's an overreaction to say he's set back the development of Sochan and Wemby at least a season or two. Jeremy would be so fucking good on any other team in the league and the old man is trying to turn him into Speedy Claxton. Criminal, just absolutely criminal.

Half the time the team looks really good the first six minutes. Then Victor gets subbed out and that double digit lead evaporates in about 2 or 3 minutes. Other half of the time the team looks dogshit from the beginning. Wemby's such a great prospect he still carries the team when used in a way only a fucking retard would. Pop has been amazing for this team over the years but no, this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen a Spurs coach do and I have no confidence in him making the obvious adjustments and righting the ship late season or the middle of next year.

There is nothing to tank for this year :lol

not sure if srs

Yeah I have no idea about that…

[SAGirl]

not sure if srs
lol definitely some liberty there. I assume the coach wanted them to foul in that situation because why would they do it 3 times in a row to end the game? Maybe I give too much credit to Pop for being the man asking for that strategy in that situation.

are you saying the players just fouled out of incompetence? Honestly I hadn’t considered that… it’s possible I guess.

I do feel like he won’t make any adjustments through the season. The man is stubborn and started Bryn Forbes a whole season— 82 games IIRC… it’s dispiriting because Pop does “experiment” some times but he also sticks with something that’s not working an entire year once he falls “in love” with some idea.

He fell in love with Sochan at PG before any Sochan PG games actually occurred :lol

Spurs Injuries: None


Warriors Injuries: Draymond Green (suspended), Gary Payton II (foot, day to day)

I think the Spurs win this. They actually played better against the Clippers after the players-only meeting. Victor played more aggressively and in the paint grabbing 15 rebounds and 7 FT attempts, only 2 3pts attempts and 2 TO. The TO’s can still be cleaned-up avoiding dribbling in traffic and keeping the ball high. Sochan likewise had an aggressive game especially in the 4th quarter. Jeremy playing PG has made him passive somewhat and should learn to call his number and take over at times. I’m hoping for Spurs to win tonight and get some moral booster against a former NBA champion on the road. GSG!

:lmao

[Pauleta14]

Wow Spurs are really lucky to have a guy with Vic's personality tbh...
Maybe the reason they don't hesitate to handicap him

Pop has been atrocious this year so far and I have no idea why he's doing what he's doing but people need to chill with the hyperbole. Sochan hasn't been dramatically set back. He's played a month as a position he shouldn't have, but that doesn't meant he experience will be fully negative. He's going to get a lot of perspective from this. To say he's been set back a year is just ridiculous.

[djohn2oo8]

Lol relax y’all. It’s going to be at least one more tank before signing some vets to put around Wemby and the new guy.

He didn't just play a month at PG though. He spent an off-season preparing for it. That first summer after the rookie year is when a play can really start to incorporate coaching feed back into their game. Jeremy had things he needed to work on at PF he might've neglected to focus on PG stuff. He's not ruined forever or anything like that. But this does affect his development.

We were down 4 with 34 seconds to go before any fouls happened. They inbounded to Curry, we tried to get the steal but didn't and fouled with 27 seconds left. It was the right move. Otherwise they run out the shot clock and you're down 2 possessions with 10 seconds to go.

Then after the FTs down 6, Osman hits a 3 with 20 seconds to go and we foul Curry again at 17 seconds. Perhaps they could have gone for a steal a few more seconds before fouling, but you can't just play "straight up D" down 3 with the shot clock turned off.

There have been some horrendous end-game fouls this year, but last night was not one of them.

[Splits]

Sochan in the Clips game the other night, down 5 at 41 seconds when 14 seconds had already ran off the shot clock, that was a stupid ass foul.

Sochan in the Tpups game down 7 with 1:11 to go, we didn't even go for the steal. Another stupid ass foul.

But last night was played properly imho

I don't recall anything more egregious and careless from the NBA than a HOF coach allowing his 1st overall pick/generational talent to start the game with his name misspelled on his jersey, while just recently he was chastising the fans over booing the opponent. Two things that are not related but can be tied together to show disregard for his own job as president of basketball operations, while showing his ass by overplaying his "I'm a great caring coach" hand.
