San Antonio Spurs vs. OKC Thunder Game Thread

[TekXX]

......

[LeBowen]

First possession of the game Devin dunks and points at Dort running to the corner on the other side.
OKC's transition wasn't even that fast and yet noone even thought about covering Dort who gets a wide open three after Spurs made basket.

Just awful coaching, nothing else.

[get_mills_out]

Holmgren and JDub each shooting 47% from three in February

Vassell bricks a wide open FT line jumper. Jones bricks a floater


there are levels to this

[Pauleta14]

OKC's game plan is smart and clear, going at Victor

Foul troble game coming

[TekXX]

Sochan has been quite useless lately.

[get_mills_out]

How many players does OKC have that you would trade anyone on the Spurs not named Vic for?

SGA, Chet, JDub, Giddey(?), maybe Joe

[get_mills_out]

Incoming 14-2 run the moment Vic checks out, they all play out the same way

[Guru of Nothing]

Zac Collins enters the game. You won't believe what happens next.

[Raven]

tre getting scored on by anyone as per usual

[get_mills_out]

Incoming 14-2 run the moment Vic checks out, they all play out the same way

[Knoxxx]

Did we get scammed out of 4 points on those two lame goal tend calls?

[NASpurs]

Here comes Team Tank to lose the game. They only know how to do one thing.

[get_mills_out]

:lol Chet’s clearly put-on ebonics

[poopbox]

A game thread after the game starts. Spurs have really beaten the life out of its fans :lol

[tim_duncan_fan]

It's dark to call people stupid, but shit like what Keldon and Sochan just did happens constantly.

The idiots don't box out anything but their own fucking teammates. WTF

[get_mills_out]

Is Keldon fuckin retarded

[Robz4000]

:lmao Wesley

[Tyronn Lue]

Is Keldon fuckin retarded
Half the team is retarded.

[CGD]

Wow, first time that I can remember that we didn’t lose the Wemby to the bench minutes. Is it me, or was there a subtle shift to keep Vassell and Sochan in longer so they could overlap with Zach and Keldon coming in? Also meant Cedi coming in later than normal. Seemed to have worked so far.

[TekXX]

Mamu back to the doghouse for outshining Pops pets?

[Tyronn Lue]

Did we get scammed out of 4 points on those two lame goal tend calls?
Easy solution, Victor needs to dunk the ball instead of pussying around with it.

[Thomas82]

I see Wemby only had 2 points in the 1st quarter.

[TheGreatYacht]

Blake Wesley fucking sucks. Swear to god you can pick up half of the starting point guards in the G-League that can give you his production. Wright fluffers thought he was good because he full court pressured for 2 games :lol

[rankingtear]

SGA can't shake off G-League scrub Sochan.

[TekXX]

OKC feels like a team that gets those fancy regular season wins but doesn't do so hot in the playoffs.

[get_mills_out]

Blake Wesley fucking sucks. Swear to god you can pick up half of the starting point guards in the G-League that can give you his production. Wright fluffers thought he was good because he full court pressured for 2 games :lol

When you use 2 FRPs on undersized combo guards who can’t string 3 games of decent bball together

[NASpurs]

Half the team is retarded.

Just half? Seems like the team rides the short bus to the arenas.

[Frenchfred]

Chet is coming strong today, I hope that Wemby has a better 2nd half.

[Tyronn Lue]

SGA can't shake off G-League scrub Sochan.
SGA is a beast, he'll get going.

[thiste]

Apparently Victor is getting treatment for something

[Tyronn Lue]

Chet is coming strong today, I hope that Wemby has a better 2nd half.
Hate Chet in the RotY race because I want Victor to win, but love Chet otherwise.

[Raven]

OKC feels like a team that gets those fancy regular season wins but doesn't do so hot in the playoffs.
first round exit tbh

[poopbox]

Spurs playing like if they lose Josh Giddy is going to take their daughters to a party

[get_mills_out]

One team uses its draft capital on players with size who can shoot and improvise with a live dribble.

One team uses its draft capital on players who have “g:pop:tten over themselves” and “play the right way”

[poopbox]

The boos for Kiddy:lol

[Raven]

cedi blowing up freebies whenever he's driving

[thiste]

One team uses its draft capital on players with size who can shoot and improvise with a live dribble.

One team uses its draft capital on players who have “g:pop:tten over themselves” and “play the right way”

But can't shoot if their lives depended on it

[TheGreatYacht]

Collins keeps playing like this, I might be okay with BWrong drafting the white American from Kentucky

[ginobilized]

Zach Collins hasn't looked bad
yet
Good half so far

[CGD]

Best Zollins game I’ve seen in a long time. We didn’t lose the minutes for once.

[Kawhi Duncan]

If Wemby doesn't start being put into an offense where he is utilized as the focus and able to get quality looks, dude is gone... Mark my words... As soon as he is able to, he is out

[CGD]

Isaiah Joe always kills us

[get_mills_out]

If you’re going to let Branham be on the court for a single second while SGA is on the court you may as well let Vic go train in France

tbh I’m expecting them to do that the minute he’s ROTY eligible

[TekXX]

Who doesn't kill us....when we leave them wide open. Our defense is a dream for our opponents.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Pop needs to retire... How do you not challenge that??

[CorrectCrusader]

The first OKC game where we haven't been blown out in the first quarter

[Robz4000]

:lol this team's IQ is negative

[CGD]

Spurs playing very well. I’ve been impressed

[thiste]

We've got a few guys whose shot is falling tonight, let's hope that keeps up in the second half

[TekXX]

I've always wondered this but did the medical guy become a coach?

[CorrectCrusader]

Collins keeps playing like this, I might be okay with BWrong drafting the white American from Kentucky

Reed Shepphard is gonna be sick

[ginobilized]

Sochan is defending SGA well, hope he keeps it up

Spurs look semi literate in the game of basketball in half 1

[TheGreatYacht]

Can’t be mad at that half. Bench those useless fucks Wesley and Cedi, this W is ours

[TheGreatYacht]

Reed Shepphard is gonna be sick
If Small Forward wasn’t such a gigantic need on this team, I’d be okay with taking Dilly and Sheppard together

[Raven]

the perimeter is still wide open, sochan does a great job one on one, but this team isn't capable of picking up players on the perimeter. THere is potential, but they just aren't there yet, or even close...

[z0sa]

This is how good the Spurs can be when our players do what they're simply expected to do. Not improve, even - just do the same shit they did at the end of last season. Especially a guy like Collins, who clearly makes a huge difference when he's playing well. Wemby wasn't great on offense to start, but Zollins for fucking once came in and the offense actually picked up!

[poopbox]

We can't be serious having Tre guard SGA.

[Pauleta14]

SGA is so good a drawing contact, a real skill

[Robz4000]

RefKC in full effect.

[TekXX]

Grab the fuckin ball

[sananspursfan21]

This ref job is so blatant. It’s insane the Spurs are even up. Any contact by the spurs is a foul and the thunder could punch them and it’s a clean play

[TekXX]

LOL Champ got posterized then hurt himself.

[CorrectCrusader]

I will never understand how jumping and going upright can EVER result in a foul for the defensive player. Offense initiating contact should NEVER be a foul.

[CorrectCrusader]

LMAO wemby waving off Giddey as he pulls up for 3

[sananspursfan21]

Wemby wasn't great on offense to start, but Zollins for fucking once came in and the offense actually picked up!

This is the problem I have with this whole roster. They’re all capable. Collins is showing what the Spurs saw in him in the first place. But these guys tease us all with just enough good games to make the FO see them through and then disappoint for 70% of the season…this includes Vassell to a slightly lesser degree

[sananspursfan21]

Look at Zach over here contesting shots…

[SpursFan86]

Best game Collins has had all year maybe. Let’s see if we can hold on to this lead.

[Robz4000]

:lol these refs

[sananspursfan21]

Yet again, our guys get manhandled with no call and Branham brushes SGA with immediate whistle

[Raven]

trre and cedi are some of the dumbest foulers i have ever seen

[poopbox]

These fucking retards throw away the inbounds pass and Cedi comments a dumb foul. Legit the biggest group of morons I have ever seen on a basketball court.

[MultiTroll]

Inbounds pass gets turned over plus 16 makes the idiotic 2+1 foul.

5 point turnaround. psssh.

[sananspursfan21]

This is ridiculous. If the spurs were more relevant, the NBA would have to investigate this. It’s so obviously lopsided. What is the league’s love affair with this team???

[BatManu20]

Lol at that low-iq foul by Cedi

[TheGreatYacht]

What’s the point in playing this Cedi bum? He’s clearly gone in the summer. Cissoko can’t be worse

[Robz4000]

Bench Osman tbh.

[BatManu20]

Keldon getting cooked out there

[sananspursfan21]

Cedí sees this nonsense reffing

[BatManu20]

Cedi having a horrible game tbh :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Get this Turkish fuck out of there

[thiste]

Cedi shitting the bed tonight

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[Leetonidas]

Predictable

[sananspursfan21]

Who isn’t getting in on this and one action? Got Jaleel White over here at the free throw line. This is nuts

[SpursFan86]

Best game Collins has had all year maybe. Let’s see if we can hold on to this lead.

*Narrator’s voice*

“They did, in fact, not hold on to the lead”

[Robz4000]

They were up 12 with the ball with 2 mins to go, then proceed to shit down their legs (with help from the refs). Wemby deserves better.

[thiste]

Can they stop making the same mistakes 10 times in a row? smh

[z0sa]

Fucking Cedi! Usually he has my confidence to at least not make a bunch of bone headed mistakes. maaaaaan

[Manu-of-steel]

Low IQ plays by Vassell, both on offense and defense on that last sequence

[TekXX]

Was that an offense foul on Cedi? Looked like a block all day long

[get_mills_out]

Branham/Vassel/Norbit/Osman/Collins may be the worst possible lineup you could design with this roster by cap hit

[BatManu20]

Vassell’s shot selection continues to be shit. He needs Wemby back out there to take pressure off him offensively tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

SGA gets an efficient 30+ every night and they hold that against Wemby in the ROY race for not having a teammate like that :lol

[MultiTroll]

Bench stoopid phuck #22 also.

[TekXX]

LOL Branham, the hits just keep on coming

[BatManu20]

Lmao Branham you dumbass :lol

[Robz4000]

Has Wemby even touched the ball in the fourth yet?

[itzsoweezee]

Here we go with the 4th quarter freeze out, again

[SpursFan86]

Pathetic ass team :lol The collapse since Wemby left in the 3rd is unreal.

[itzsoweezee]

Took them 3 minutes of game time to get wemby the ball. What a fucking dumb team

[scott]

NBA Officiating sees how atrocious the NFL officiating is and want their crown back

[sananspursfan21]

So they’re not tagging Dort on that constant push-off

[SpursFan86]

“The Last Shot”: Lu Dort edition :lmao

[MultiTroll]

Facepalm
Sochan just lay it up off the glass.

We know white men can't jump but FFS abandoning the shot under the rim and throwing it back to the arc....

Oh well. Next play sweet pass by the teams best playmaker Wama and Sochan did convert.

[Raven]

pass was way too late tbh

[Robz4000]

:lmao another touch foul

[Knoxxx]

OKC probably only have 11 wins without SGA.

[thiste]

pass was way too late tbh

If he goes for the dunk I'm sure he can get fouled

[Knoxxx]

:lmao another touch foul

Garbage refs been grand standing all game.

[TekXX]

Nice pass Wemby

[MultiTroll]

Wama with the overdone highlight reel attempt step back long 3.

[TekXX]

Wow that Sochan defense.

[Raven]

wait wait wait, then pass into triple coverage

[TheGreatYacht]

Victor looks slow as hell out there. Usually he’s quick and moving all over the place off the ball, but he looks a bit sluggish this quarter

[Mr. Peabody]

Time for Keldon to win this game

[Robz4000]

Wemby fouled to shit with no call.

[BatManu20]

Wemby keeps falling for Chet’s up-fakes and it results in an easy basket every time

[sananspursfan21]

Once Wemby starts getting superstar ref treatment and figures out how to draw fouls, it’s gonna be all over.

[Knoxxx]

Now we are reminded the promise of Sochan. His on ball defense has been amazing on SGA. SGA don’t want nothing to do with him. Then he attacks Homgren inside and goes 21-9 wow.

[Pauleta14]

How many easy bucket pass for Wemby today?

1? (Vassel lob in 1st)

[TheGreatYacht]

Who said Victor was getting treatment earlier? OKC broadcast made no mention of it. He seriously looks out of it this quarter. He’s moving like Boban

[NASpurs]

:cry could it be... not going to celebrate just yet

[MultiTroll]

Nice TEAM D by Sochan :wow and Wama.

Wama for the bomb trey! :clap:toast

122 113

[sananspursfan21]

Don’t take your foot off the gas boys. I’d rather they lose cuz they were over aggressive than lose cuz they got tight

[Tyronn Lue]

Victor with the Steph impersonation.

[Ditty]

Fucking Wemby!!!

[Pauleta14]

Victor playing the full 4th qtr again...

[thiste]

balls of steel

[td4mvp2k]

chet :lol

[NASpurs]

Wemby :wow

[MultiTroll]

Wama just nailed ROY

[Brazil]

Victor looks slow as hell out there. Usually he’s quick and moving all over the place off the ball, but he looks a bit sluggish this quarter

that did not age well :lol

[Robz4000]

:lmao Wemby undressing Chet

[Rosewood]

Holy shit Wemby on Chet. Why he do him like that :lol

[TekXX]

Wemby ROTY confirmed

[Ditty]

The Spurs might have the GOAT

[DAF86]

Yay! Regular season championships FTW :lobt2:

[td4mvp2k]

poop better give this man some help

[Raven]

well this was an exciting fourth quarter

[SPURt]

Wemby sonning Chet, this team is gonna be fun when they figure out how to win

[Pauleta14]

VICTOR IS A BAAAAAAAADDD MOTHERFUKEEEEEERRRRRRRR

[LaMarcus Bryant]

When's the last time we beat this team feels like years

[SPURt]

A rare win where the 2nd team to reach 100 wins

[SpursFan86]

Holy shit. What a 4th quarter.

[Pauleta14]

His block on chet will be the highlight of his ROY ceremony :lol

[sananspursfan21]

Don’t take your foot off the gas boys. I’d rather they lose cuz they were over aggressive than lose cuz they got tight

WHATD I SAY? WHAT DID I SAYYYYYY????????

[hater]

LMAO Everytime I watch the Spurs live they kick ass. I never watch lol

[tim_duncan_fan]

Finally hit some shots! Finally a decent win!

[Pauleta14]

Remember Vic was in foul trouble in the 1st....

ZERO foul since and 5 blocks 2 steals.... I.N.S.A.N.E

[TekXX]

Did he just say i love this shit?

[Manu-of-steel]

Best win of the season!!!

[bbarry]

did spurs just win the championship? :lmao

[sananspursfan21]

The idiotic media can’t even pretend that Chet is over Wemby after tonight. It was already a delusional take but now it’s a flat out smooth brained argument. Wemby has always been and even more obviously now is the far and away better player.

[get_mills_out]

You mean to tell me the spurs a better playing their 5 best players than trying to meme Champaign and the combo guards into rotations nba players? Color me shocked

[Tyronn Lue]

Future of the NBA = exciting games >>> play in etc

[scott]

What a great closing performance by our “Closing 5” lineup (Tre-Dev-KJ-Sochan-Wemby), which has been consistently been pretty good for us.

Stark opposition to that lineup that closed the 3rd, which should be permanently discarded as soon as possible :lol

Great win tonight and a glimpse of the potential

[thiste]

Honestly I never thought we could beat OKC.

It's not much in the grand scheme of things, but it feels fucking good.

[DAF86]

This is why we stay tuned bros. :cry

[CGD]

did spurs just win the championship? :lmao

It’s probably our best win of the year, so there’s that.

[NASpurs]

:lol Richard Jefferson and JJ Redick.... get fucked bitches

[Tyronn Lue]

The idiotic media can’t even pretend that Chet is over Wemby after tonight. It was already a delusional take but now it’s a flat out smooth brained argument. Wemby has always been and even more obviously now is the far and away better player.
Taking the ball from Chet like that up top, that will be played a million times by the morning. Classic already.

[scott]

They should make a one time exception to make Chet laying on the floor after being blocked by Wemby this year’s ROY statue.

[Rosewood]

Wama just nailed ROY
Yeah. Should be officially over now.

IMO it was already.

[TheBallsbreakers]

That was a statement by the rook. That block will probably end up as the most "iconic" moment in his rookie campaign. ROTY is a done deal.

[barakz21]

Gotdamn. Wemby sure has a lot of charisma. If I had been born a few years later, he would’ve been my favorite player instead of Himmy D. Also, after tonight surely the media’s no longer gonna go Chet>Wemby, no?

[TheGreatYacht]

What a team win :clap best of the season. Glad the home fans got to enjoy that

[Pauleta14]

LMAO Everytime I watch the Spurs live they kick ass. I never watch lol

U know your task from now on then 😂👌

Aw yeah, that was the icing :makemyday

[DAF86]

Vassell with 28 and 9. :wow

[Pauleta14]

THIS 4th quarter tho...

[rascal]

Spurs will win a game from time to time. Every team in the NBA does.

Relax people

[Raven]

is this 4 consecutive with 5 blocks?

[thiste]

Honestly I hate what Chet represents in the only thing the Spurs are chasing this season, but I really can't hate the guy. Dude is a great player and also seems cool as hell.

[Raven]

5 triples as well, this is probably career high, no?

[Pauleta14]

Vassell with 28 and 9. :wow

yep ��

I criticise him enough to recognise not only his great game but his improvement in his passing/playmaking intentions.

that’s all I’m asking really that at least he tries. He might surprise all of us, him included ��

[timtonymanu]

:lol Richard Jefferson and JJ Redick.... get fucked bitches

What did they say? Redick in particular can have pretty bad takes so I’m interested in what he had to say

[ginobilized]

Sochan looked like a very useful piece tonight. When he is aggressive the whole team feeds of him.
The intensity on the defensive end was great. Wemby really has an ability to rise to about any situation. Kinda scary and exciting.

It's great to see the ball go in the hole once in a while. 19 3's helps a team win.

Fun win!

[Pauleta14]

is this 4 consecutive with 5 blocks?

no. He had only (��) four last game

[Raven]

If he goes for the dunk I'm sure he can get fouled
i would agree normally, but i have seen him getting blocked like that way too many times this year

[timtonymanu]

Lmao Chet
Lmao overrated
Lmao spurs would have like 2 wins with him instead of Wemby

[spursparker9]

WTF...just realized that OKC have 2 top 15 pick in 2024 draft.

10. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Rockets)
11. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Jazz)

I think Wemby would not be able to take it if Chet won more rings than him eventually.

[z0sa]

Literally a tear in my eyes with #1 pulling on the Spurs logo of his jersey, telling us he loves us in the court-side interview, leading a gotdamn GSG chant. Even David stuck around for that ish, man. This team is the best, y'all :cry

[Ditty]

Spurs will win a game from time to time. Every team in the NBA does.

Relax people

Oh shut the fuck up.

BTW, Sochan had a great bounce back game. Is Shaedon Sharpe back from injury?

[sananspursfan21]

Bad as I hate this losing, all 12 of these wins have been so sweet. And this might be the best one yet.

[Rosewood]

Honestly I hate what Chet represents in the only thing the Spurs are chasing this season, but I really can't hate the guy. Dude is a great player and also seems cool as hell. Chet is awesome to watch tbh. He’s not Wemby but absolutely going to be great.

[itzsoweezee]

Get this man some help. This is no rookie. Dude is already a top 15 player in this league

[The Truth #6]

Great win. Lots of signs of life. I loved how Sochan turned it way up for about 5-6 minutes there in the 4th and briefly took over the game. He should realize he can and needs to do that consistently. Otherwise he's just spectating.

[Gibbz]

https://i.imgflip.com/6xdbnu.jpg

Chet

[MI21]

This was extremely abnormal.

7'4 shooting against a top 5 team shooting off the dribble 3's from 30 feet, blocking jump-shots, diming up cutters whilst facing double teams at age 20.

NOT NORMAL.

[slick'81]

Wemby shitting on chet?! Nothing new,tbh

[rascal]

Great win. Lots of signs of life. I loved how Sochan turned it way up for about 5-6 minutes there in the 4th and briefly took over the game. He should realize he can and needs to do that consistently. Otherwise he's just spectating.

bruh ,he is literally an alien

[Thomas82]

is this 4 consecutive with 5 blocks?

He had one taken away from him Tuesday night.

[timtonymanu]

Just enjoy the win. We’re gonna be back to hating everyone outside of Wemby during the next few losses lol

[rascal]

Oh shut the fuck up.

BTW, Sochan had a great bounce back game. Is Shaedon Sharpe back from injury?

Sochan has had good games in the past. I expected a better game from him. Still doesn't change my thought of him as a player moving forward, not a fan of his overall game.

[NASpurs]

What did they say? Redick in particular can have pretty bad takes so I’m interested in what he had to say

It was just in reference to them saying that Chet should be ROTY

[Spurs Homer]

I was literally shocked by the play of….

Zollins!

just ONE game where he does not shit the bed repeatedly and the result is a WIN…

[NASpurs]

Just enjoy the win. We’re gonna be back to hating everyone outside of Wemby during the next few losses lol

:lol rinse and repeat

[timtonymanu]

It was just in reference to them saying that Chet should be ROTY

Of course Redick that California team lover.

Lol “lakers had the best offseason.”

[mudyez]

Hell, I love how our bench is reacting to the block on chet. Cedi and Zollins going crazy.

[Tyronn Lue]

Chet is awesome to watch tbh. He’s not Wemby but absolutely going to be great.
He's going to be scary good.

[Tyronn Lue]

I was literally shocked by the play of….

Zollins!

just ONE game where he does not shit the bed repeatedly and the result is a WIN…
As non intuitive as it seems, Victor should sometimes be positioned where Zollins is. I've noticed Zollins gets the ball even 3 on 1, but Victor in the same general area often doesn't get it even 1 on 1. They've gotten somewhat better at getting it to him, the the rest of the team plays up tempo small ball while Victor is trodding up and down the court and setting pseudo picks.

[ace3g]

Victor "after dark" Wembanyama anytime he is on the mic ��

[BatManu20]

Lol Devin cooking that fraud

1763416587636207637

[buttsR4rebounding]

Wemby becomes first player in NBA history with 25 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 5 made 3s in a game.

[spursparker9]

Hell, I love how our bench is reacting to the block on chet. Cedi and Zollins going crazy.

:lol I remember seeing Zollins flexing !

[TimmyBuckets]

Good game boys

[rascal]

Wemby's 3 pt shot will improve.

It would be good for the Spurs to get another player(Sarr) who could enable Wemby to move off center from time to time.

Go watch highlights of Robinson and Duncan playing together and they switched from time to time off the low post, sometimes Robinson would take the short jumpers or drives to the basket with Duncan low for the rebound and sometime it was Duncan with Robinson playing center.

They played well off each other and created mismatches with their size advantage.

[TheGreatYacht]

that did not age well :lol
Miss you dawg :cry hope you’ve been well

Oh shut the fuck up.

BTW, Sochan had a great bounce back game. Is Shaedon Sharpe back from injury?

Sharpe's season is derailed due to injury. Unfortunately, he was scoring well before his injury. Still like him more than Sochan. Sharpe is a potential 25 point a game scorer in the future. He has the athleticism and shooting mechanics to get there. Sochan does not

[Spurminator]

No notes. Great team win. Everyone showed up.

A+ for everyone

[barakz21]

Honestly I hate what Chet represents in the only thing the Spurs are chasing this season, but I really can't hate the guy. Dude is a great player and also seems cool as hell.

I agree. I like the fact that Chet’s not backing down from Wemby either, it’s gonna make for a fun rivalry in the next decade or so.

[rascal]

Wemby is much better than Chet.

[Spurminator]

Chet is probably rookie of the year in more than half of other NBA seasons. But it's not even a contest this year.

[Pauleta14]

What did they say? Redick in particular can have pretty bad takes so I’m interested in what he had to say

Both hardcore Chet stans since the start and both reluctantly admit Wemby is better. They keep bringing OKC’s record and acting like Chet has a more difficult path…
JJ very defensive last time he talked about it acting like he picked Chet « at that time » and not definitely.

Richard Jefferson probably the biggest cunt tho

[Pauleta14]

Just enjoy the win. We’re gonna be back to hating everyone outside of Wemby during the next few losses lol

It would still work today.

i do really like Chet a lot. cant wait for the ROY race to be called so i can stop rooting against him so much :lol

[sfernald]

Thank god they showed up this game!

I love Chet but Wemby is a potential GOAT. I think most everyone can see that now. He’s on another level from everyone. It’s going to come down to his health and such as whether he can pass Kareem / Lebron / Jordan some day.

[NASpurs]

When's the last time a team had more assists than the opponents total rebounds? :lol

[rankingtear]

It would still work today.

Everyone was inside the 3pt line on those ancient times.

[Seventyniner]

Literally a tear in my eyes with #1 pulling on the Spurs logo of his jersey, telling us he loves us in the court-side interview, leading a gotdamn GSG chant. Even David stuck around for that ish, man. This team is the best, y'all :cry

Victor had tears of his own. He really wanted this W and he willed the team to it.

[Fireball]

Did Wemby play full fourth quarters the last two games?

Anyway, great game to watch because despite another turnover festival you can still say that everybody played good to great ...

39 asissts and 11 turnovers is not a turnover festival tbh. The execution was top notch, aside from the last 2 minutes in the 3rd quarter.

thanks for keeping my head straight there ... it just felt worse than 11 TOs probably OKC scored on all of them?!

[Brazil]

Miss you dawg :cry hope you’ve been well

doing great man, still lurking around here and posting once in a while. Hope you you also are doing well

it's because our turnovers are always easy baskets for the opposition

Funny reading the haters on the 1st page of this thread and slowly disappearing and then finally gone :lol

I love that GSG by Wemby. He missed the city. The kid love being a Spur and can’t wait to get the team back to winning.

Shaq said that the Spurs will be busy this off-season loading up talent. Barkeley thinks the Spurs will still miss the playoffs next season, 3 years he said, with Shaq disagreeing. The Spurs played great tonight, and I agree with Shaq. The Spurs will be a lot busy this Summer. Wemby can’t wait to win, and FO needs to satisfy this kids thirst for win. Barkeley said the Spurs are not close to winning. I don’t agree. I think the Spurs will make a big turnaround next season. Wemby cannot go through another losing record. I didn’t think Wemby will be this good by this time. I think nobody did. He is much stronger and taking on big challenges. His fortitude is well beyond years. And the FO sees and will acknowledge that. I think they will get a premiere PG, possibly Trae, and 1 or 2 more veterans by the end of the deadline. I think they’ll get a defensive wing, and a big veteran, whatever. But it would be a totally different team next season. It’s just wrong if they don’t. And I don’t think it would be very hard to convince players to play with Wemby. As great as DRob and Timmy, they were not this exciting. Sure DRob was an athletic freak that nobody saw a big man moved like a gazelle before. Sure Timmy was awesome as a rookie. But the hype that Victor is, is not comparable. Nobody thought DRob and Timmy would be the next MJ. But they say so with Wemby and at age 20! Prepare that new arena, because players will be knocking on that door. Already Trae has given a hint how he would love to pass the ball to Wemby. There would be more.

Man, Wemby really, REALLY loves the Spurs and SA. As much as DRob and the big three embraced the city, I don’t think they’ve shown it as passionately in public as Wemby has. Then again, maybe he’s just really THAT passionate to the point of being emotional. As much as I love Timmy due to him being my favorite player, Wemby’s getting right up there real fast.

I guess can't really hear it on the broadcast but the crowd was chanting Wemby's name after those couple of late threes in the fourth.

Nah we'll be rooting against him for years man because that Thunder team is going to be a bitch to get through in the west for a long time.

Same thing was said about Memphis. Y’all really forget things change in the NBA quickly. There’s only been one or two teams that ever stayed consistent with its same core and with same winning results and that was the Spurs of old and the Warriors. These young teams who shine for one year and then become irrelevant after a year or two because shit happens is way more common than them continue their upward trajectory.

[rascal]

Everyone was inside the 3pt line on those ancient times.

Minn is winning with two seven footers and Sarr and Wemby have more upside with more agility and quickness than Gobert and K-Anthony Towns.

I did. Dude was being hailed as the best generational talent since Lebron. I knew he would be good defensively seeing as he's built like Ralph Sampson. And the dude would be great on offense just on his ability and size and length. Nobody on the Spurs knew apparently, but I wanted us to get Dame in the offseason simply bc I believed in Wemby.

The Spurs better make moves this season. We won't have him for cheap for very long and can't waste his cheap rookie contracts with middling players eating up our cap at 20-27 million a year. That is a stupid way to go imo. The playoffs are for grown men and we need to go out and get one.

[rankingtear]

Minn is winning with two seven footers and Sarr and Wemby have more upside with more agility and quickness than Gobert and K-Anthony Towns.

K-Towns is the greatest shooting big of all time though, he is not really a big man on offense because he can shoot the shit out of the ball. There is a good chance that Sarr and Wemby would just clog up your spacing and provide you with little defense in space. That is if Sarr hits and I just don't trust bigs with bad hands.

[Chomag]

That block on Chet right after wembys 3 though. This is going to be a fun rivalry to watch for years to come.

yeah they got a lot of lay ups on fast breaks, but OKC has the 3rd best offense in the league with 121.2 PPG. We actually held them under their average.

you ever heard of Dirk Nowitzki?

[spurraider21]

Just by the numbers KAT shoots better from 3 on more volume compared to Dirk

dirk shot better from 10-16 and 16-3pt though

[rankingtear]

you ever heard of Dirk Nowitzki?

I would say it is Towns. Dirk shoots like 2 threes a game in his MVP year, that is against PF who are uncomfortable out on the perimeter.

[Mugen]

I actually like SGA, JDub, Chet and Presti.

But man, I just collectively fucking hate OKC :lol

I think it's the retarded ass fanbase tbh.

[Mr. Body]

The Thunder fanbase is the worst in the NBA tied with the Celtics. Just no knowledge of the game, but demanding everyone pay homage and fealty to them constantly. Neediness combined with arrogance and ignorance.

SGA is great, but is given 10 free throws a game for no apparent reason. Today's NBA.

Jalen Williams looks like a basketball-playing dumpling.

Holmgren looks like he's going to kill his old high school friends with an axe.

[rjv]

If Wemby doesn't start being put into an offense where he is utilized as the focus and able to get quality looks, dude is gone... Mark my words... As soon as he is able to, he is out

yeah, okay :lol
