[TXstbobcat]

Spurs -3.5

[TXstbobcat]

Trey Jones Status GTD

[slick'81]

So we have a chance?!

[boutons_deux]

Two bottom dwellers amuse themselves

[Davidicus]

Wembys 1st 40pt game tonight

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs are finally favored, which means they’ll probably lose. Blazers have been playing well lately.

[BatManu20]

Wembys 1st 40pt game tonight

:pop: “Not on my watch”

[Fizziksman]

Must win for Toronto Pick purposes.

[timtonymanu]

Thought this game was in Portland, why is the start time so late?

[spursparker9]

Wemby vs Scoot!

[Seventyniner]

Thought this game was in Portland, why is the start time so late?

Probably because it's on NBA TV and it's the second game of a doubleheader. Mavs/Hawks started at 6.

[TDMVPDPOY]

scoot is a draft busts, explains why this game isnt getting any hype

[Leetonidas]

Well at least we didn't get served the highest individual scoring game of the season. Luka has 72 vs the hawks right now

[Fizziksman]

Time for Wemby to nut up and go for 60+ points

[Seventyniner]

Well at least we didn't get served the highest individual scoring game of the season. Luka has 72 vs the hawks right now

Finishes with 73.

Guess I'm a curmudgeon but I don't like today's style of play. I don't want to return to the dead ball era of the 2000s, even though the Spurs were dominant then, but it seems like almost every team plays the same way and the balance has tilted too far in favor of offense.

[spursparker9]

Well at least we didn't get served the highest individual scoring game of the season. Luka has 72 vs the hawks right now

Booker had 60+ too.

Think they all trying to out do Kobe's 81 on his 4th year death anniversary

[NASpurs]

Fat boy with 73. Looking like he should hit a treadmill a bit.

[spurraider21]

game begins with a point sochan turnover

[poopbox]

Devin takes some of the worst shots I have ever seen.

[CorrectCrusader]

Wemby raped that shot holy shit

[r0drig0lac]

block party mfers

[CorrectCrusader]

So blessed Wemby is on my team

[spursparker9]

Wemby's speed is underrated tbh

[CorrectCrusader]

Tre Jones + Wemby = orgasm

[Pauleta14]

Not ONE decent pass to Victor before this lob

They use him as a decoy and call their number all the time ffs

[NASpurs]

Enjoy while it lasts boys. Collins, Keldon, McDermott and Branham loom.

[baseline bum]

OMFG this block Wemby just got on Anfernee Simons. Literally looked like something you would do to your nine year brother trying to score on you.

[Pauleta14]

Tre is average at best but the rest is so shitty that he looks decent

At best 15min bench player

[Arcadian]

OMFG this block Wemby just got on Anfernee Simons. Literally looked like something you would do to your nine year brother trying to score on you.

Exactly, it's like an adult playing with children, except the children are other NBA players :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

the fuck is that foul on wesley wtf he literally had his hands behind is back.

[poopbox]

Wemby out time to turn the channel

[CorrectCrusader]

It annoys the fuck out of me that our starters ALWAYS come out first.

[TekXX]

Wemby out here comes the portland run

[Leetonidas]

Bryn Forbes is the only player I can think of that Ive hated more than Collins. Get this fuckin bum off our team already

[heyheymymy]

Nasty move and shot made by Sochan whoa

[baseline bum]

Exactly, it's like an adult playing with children, except the children are other NBA players :lol

I keep checking Chaz NBA on youtube for that clip to show up :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

If the rumors about us being interested in Anfernee simons are true we'd be fools to not grab him

[FkLA]

This team is absolutely worthless without Vic out there. It's honestly embarrassing, tbh.

[baseline bum]

Wemby out time to turn the channel

Always use it to take a monster shit just like the Collins led lineup

[NASpurs]

Lmao this team is embarrassingly amateurish. I just shake my head.

[Leetonidas]

That senile fuck loves yanking half the starters not even halfway thru the 1st despite having the youngest team in the league. Shit is annoying

[TekXX]

If the rumors about us being interested in Anfernee simons are true we'd be fools to not grab him

They can have their fan favorite Collins back in a trade if they want?

[spursparker9]

That senile fuck loves yanking half the starters not even halfway thru the 1st despite having the youngest team in the league. Shit is annoying

Well he is the founder of load management

[baseline bum]

Shidy Osman with the travel

[heyheymymy]

Oof some rough basketball tonight yikes

Did both teams meet for edibles before the game or something?

[TekXX]

Shaqtin a fool sighting.

[poopbox]

This team is fucking trash without Victor :lmao

Legit looks like special needs kids touching a basketball for the first time :lmao

[CorrectCrusader]

Oh Wesley.

[thiste]

wtf is happening

[Leetonidas]

Wesley has the worst touch of any player I've ever seen at the rim

[onechance87]

half this roster gotta go this offseason....This is pathetic

[FkLA]

Bryn Forbes is the only player I can think of that Ive hated more than Collins. Get this fuckin bum off our team already

You can tell Pop loves him and has tons of "respect" for how hard he tries even if he sucks. Just like Forbes.

[baseline bum]

They can have their fan favorite Collins back in a trade if they want?

They can have Zollins for a top 59 protected second

[heyheymymy]

there is a gas leak at at&t center

[SpursFan86]

Holy hell. I’m not sure there’s anyone on this roster worth keeping outside of Sochan, Tre, and Vassell.

[thiste]

Holy hell. I’m not sure there’s anyone on this roster worth keeping outside of Sochan, Tre, and Vassell.

Wemby maybe?

[slick'81]

This is our team baby

[baseline bum]

Zollins is such a bitch

[AusSpur]

Holy hell. I’m not sure there’s anyone on this roster worth keeping outside of Sochan, Tre, and Vassell.

I'd keep Victor.

[heyheymymy]

Wesley continues to impress defensively

[baseline bum]

Shiddy misses the rebound but at least it doesn't hurt us

[poopbox]

I don't think we scored 10 points after Vic went to the bench with half the quarter left to play

[FkLA]

Holy hell. I’m not sure there’s anyone on this roster worth keeping outside of Sochan, Tre, and Vassell.

Wesley is fine, imo. Can't teach speed and his tenacity on defense. He just started playing consistent rotation minutes. He'll only get better. The rest just fucking suck.

[BatManu20]

Collins with the continual green light from 3 despite rarely making them is definitely something

[baseline bum]

WTF is Shiddy doing guarding Scoot?

[thiste]

Wesley can't make a layup but he's the one trying the half court shot smh

[Spurs Brazil]

Those Collins minutes since he came back from injury has been brutal. Terrible on both ends

[timtonymanu]

:lol PATFO rewarding yet another scrub like they did with Zollins. He does nothing useful other than looking like a huge faggot with that headband and his punchable face and giving AtlSpur fapping material.

[poopbox]

Victor comes in and we instantly score

[thiste]

Victor left with 6 minutes left, we were up 4 at 18-14. End of the quarter, we scored 8 points in 6 minutes and we're trailing by 7.

[baseline bum]

Shiddy is even worse than Zollins

[baseline bum]

Who is that old guy with the bald spot they show every single Spurs home game?

[r0drig0lac]

Cedi time lol

[TekXX]

Osman is stealing maniac!!

[baseline bum]

LOL Osman makes three great plays right after I'm trashing him. :lol

[baseline bum]

Victor left with 6 minutes left, we were up 4 at 18-14. End of the quarter, we scored 8 points in 6 minutes and we're trailing by 7.

Remember when we used to think the Spurs were a one man team in the David Robinson era? JFC they literally are one now.

[Tyronn Lue]

Victor left with 6 minutes left, we were up 4 at 18-14. End of the quarter, we scored 8 points in 6 minutes and we're trailing by 7.
I think it's well established by now that the Spurs are in tank mode. Pop praised the Thunder for building through the draft over several years, then said the Spurs are where the Thunder were. He also said something like "year by year you acquire guys and trade guys and build through the draft". Pop wants draft picks. He doesn't give a single fuck about this season or these players not named Victor, as far as them being with the Spurs next season. He'll still try to teach them about Africa though.

:lol yeah right, I'll believe it when I see it. This FO has a knack of having players overstay their welcome.

[poopbox]

Collins and Sochan running side by side looking like dumb and dumber

[Spurs Brazil]

Wemby to the bench and a quick 4-0 Blazers. It turns into a layup line a the the moment he sits

[thiste]

We were trailing 26-33 when 2nd quarter started with Victor back.

When he went to the bench now, we were up 44-42.

[Leetonidas]

Why does Sochan always pick up his dribble as soon as he gets inside the arc. Coaching staff really needs to break him of that habit

[thiste]

Victor 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks in 11 minutes.

[r0drig0lac]

Ayrton looks like a 1st pick player against Collins

[onechance87]

ok pop put wemby back in already

[poopbox]

One of the worst fast breaks I ever seen :lol

[Cardinal]

This is some real slop ball right now

[thiste]

my god

[mudd]

Typical jr high command of the basketball

[Tyronn Lue]

Watching two retards play in shit. That's the Blazers and Spurs.

[baseline bum]

They ever say why Brogdon isn't playing? Would like to trade for him if the Spurs could get him for say the Chicago 2025.

[thiste]

Watching two retards play in shit. That's the Blazers and Spurs.

There's a diamond in there somewhere

[Tyronn Lue]

Chauncey is probably the worst head coach in the NBA.

[Tyronn Lue]

There's a diamond in there somewhere
:lol pound that turd

[r0drig0lac]

Wemby with 17/7

[TekXX]

Wemby slowing figuring out how to score down there.

[heyheymymy]

Thought Sochan had a nice first half

11/8/2/1

[thiste]

Tonight Chet had 20 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks in 30 minutes.

Victor has 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks in 13 minutes at the half.

[CorrectCrusader]

Tonight Chet had 20 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks in 30 minutes.

Victor has 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks in 13 minutes at the half.

ROTY

[heyheymymy]

Wesley tough shooting night 0-5 but 3 ast and 2 stls at the half and great defense.

[TekXX]

Wemby what is you doin'?

[TekXX]

Pop's halftime speeches are legendary, Spurs always come out looking like doodoo.

[CorrectCrusader]

Wesley tough shooting night 0-5 but 3 ast and 2 stls at the half and great defense.

Superstar potential if he can get his offense together

[Pauleta14]

Pop mad at Wemby calls time out and hair dryer treatment...:lol

I LOVE IT

[thiste]

Pop mad at Wemby calls time out and hair dryer treatment...:lol

I LOVE IT

Victor deserves a talking to and he knows it.

[TekXX]

Cameraman was all up in Sochans buisness.

[poopbox]

Dare I say...Sochan is playing pretty good. But Portland got a lot of scrubs for him to attack when victory is on the floor.

[r0drig0lac]

Sochan playing very well

[poopbox]

Wesley and Collins can't shoot at all but they both stopped at the 3 point line when Sochan pushed the ball.

[baseline bum]

You're open at the three point line for a reason Zach

[Spurs Brazil]

Another good game by Sochan. Nice to see.

[SpursFan86]

Sochan balling out. I can’t believe how much his outside shot has improved.

[Tyronn Lue]

Does Collins ever do anything positive? Turnover, missed rebound, foul, misses every shot, etc.

[thiste]

ROTY

And he shits the bed in the third, of course :lol

[kxs783kms]

I know a lot of you may hate it but Sochan is slowly becoming our second best player. If his 3 ball stays consistent, I'll keep him over Vassell.

[CGD]

Zach’s shot form looks so goos that I expect those 3s to go in, but percentages are terrible. It’s like the opposite of Sochan from 3 right now.

[Pauleta14]

Haven't changed my mind on Sochan after a good game against scrubs

He's low IQ, no court awareness, can't/NEVER passes to wemby

But Pop has a man crush so...

[Tyronn Lue]

I know a lot of you may hate it but Sochan is slowly becoming our second best player. If his 3 ball stays consistent, I'll keep him over Vassell.
It drops off pretty quick after Victor.

[Kurgan]

Haven't changed my mind on Sochan after a good game against scrubs

He's low IQ, no court awareness, can't/NEVER passes to wemby

But Pop has a man crush so...

He also has a really bad tendency of battling his own teammates for rebounds. Seen him do this numerous times to Wemby, resulting in the ball ending up with the opposing team.

[SpursFan86]

Collins :lmao

[Kurgan]

I know a lot of you may hate it but Sochan is slowly becoming our second best player. If his 3 ball stays consistent, I'll keep him over Vassell.

He needs to start showing up against the good teams instead of statpadding against bottom five defenses.

[Leetonidas]

Collins with 4 points on 1-7 from the field, 2 rebounds and 4 fouls :lmao dude got paid and just stopped trying

[spursparker9]

Collins is the worst....at least Forbes and Bonner can spread the floor

[mudd]

Where the hell is Barlow

[Leetonidas]

Collins with 4 points on 1-7 from the field, 2 rebounds and 4 fouls :lmao dude got paid and just stopped trying

0-4 from three and team worst +/- too :lmao

[Barfunk]

Damn Luka with another 70 point game this season. Pop would never allow that shit here. EVER. Luka would struggle to score 40 here under Pop, guaransheed.

[Leetonidas]

Is Branham injured? I just realized I haven't seen his garbage ass all night

[Kurgan]

Collins with 4 points on 1-7 from the field, 2 rebounds and 4 fouls :lmao dude got paid and just stopped trying

Duped by a contract year player. Brian Wright :lol

[poopbox]

some dude from portland just bear hugged Victor to keep him from closing out

[poopbox]

Victor is a really good decision maker in the open floor. When we get some real nba players on this team he will create a lot of mismatches when we gets the rebound. Our players suck to much to do much with him running the show now.

[CorrectCrusader]

Fantastic game by Sochan

[My Fault]

Superstar potential if he can get his offense together
Wut? Superstar :lol

[MultiTroll]

Just tuning.

Pop out sick?

Portland tanking?

Up by 16 :clap:toast

[thiste]

Wemby seems to want to iso bad tonight, he just can't do it...

7 turnovers...

[Pauleta14]

A couple were not his fault but SEVEN TOs for Victor...

Lots of bad decisions today

[CorrectCrusader]

Wut? Superstar :lol

Elite speed, top tier defense. That's absolutely superstar potential.

[My Fault]

Elite speed, top tier defense. That's absolutely superstar potential.
:lol holy fuck dude I like Blake but that’s a terrible take

[Pauleta14]

Wondering if they even work any plays for Victor durting training ... surreal how it's still all improvised

[thiste]

:lol holy fuck dude I like Blake but that’s a terrible take

It's a little bit far fetched, but Kawhi started like that

[MultiTroll]

That last series 5 passes before the score. The one that culminated with Sochan layup. From 99 to 101 i believe.

And 4 players so obviously trying to pass.

That was heartwarming.

[CorrectCrusader]

:lol holy fuck dude I like Blake but that’s a terrible take

I mean you can be wrong. Never said he'd actualize his potential.

[My Fault]

I mean you can be wrong. Never said he'd actualize his potential.
You said Superstar which would be on par with Wemby. Star itself is so far fetched but superstar is either delusional or just plain stupid :lol

[onechance87]

is scoot injured...Havent even noticed him today

[CorrectCrusader]

is scoot injured...Havent even noticed him today

He and Jerami Grant got injured in the first quarter.

[thiste]

is scoot injured...Havent even noticed him today

He was injured early in the game

[MultiTroll]

Sochan back to Earth with a bad airball trey. :lol

Wait, they can't really lose this can they?

[BatManu20]

Simons with a 40-burger on us. Spurs getting sloppy down the stretch and letting them hang around.

[CorrectCrusader]

So many missed dunks today lol

[rascal]

He and Jerami Grant got injured in the first quarter.

This is why the Spurs are winning. Portland is short handed this game and not very good to begin with.

[thiste]

I believe that's one of Wemby's worst halves this season

[tim_duncan_fan]

Yesssss, a win!

[thiste]

We're 4-6 in the last 10. There are reasons to be optimistic.

[onechance87]

I believe that's one of Wemby's worst halves this season

yea a bit sloppy from him

[baseline bum]

Pretty shocking to get a win when Wemby plays such a shit second half. Sochan fucking saved them tonight.

[rascal]

We're 4-6 in the last 10. There are reasons to be optimistic.

Soft stretch of games.

[SPURt]

Solid game, seems like there needs to be some pairing of Sochan/Jones/Vassell on the floor whenever Wemby sits. I Stan Sochan.

[Fizziksman]

Soft stretch of games.

that we would have lost, during the Sochan PG experiment era

[NASpurs]

Soft stretch of games.

Who cares, this team sucks whether the schedule is soft or not.

Saying they're in a soft stretch doesn't mean anything when this team is already lousy.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs are definitely better (but still dogshit) after they moved Wemby to C, stopped the PG Sochan experiment and moved Zollins to the bench.
