[Pauleta14]

Last time we plaed them they defended victor almost as well as Houston

Let's see if he's learned/improved...

[CorrectCrusader]

YMCA ball to start

[LeBowen]

Was competitive for as long as you'd expect.

[SouthernFryd]

If Victor doesn't want to be there, send him home.

Tanking destroys teams morale.

[onechance87]

Rather have graham starting over tre jones...Need a pg who can shoot.

[spurraider21]

well that was a funny sequence. vic's touch around the rim has been off lately tho

[ace3g]

Wemby with 10 and 6 so far

LOL, Julian Champagnie really has overestimated his vertical leaping ability this year

[Rosewood]

Champagnie never needs to play a minute of basketball again. Worst starter and probably player in the league.

[ace3g]

Dr. Not J Julian...

and then didn't take the corner 3 off the Wemby between the leg pass..

[SpursFan86]

That sequence from Champagnie has to be some of the most embarrassing shit I’ve ever seen

[CorrectCrusader]

This is where the game gets out of hand. Hope Graham continues to play with Wemby

[Pauleta14]

Champagnie shouldn't be allowed to try a dunk ever, wtf is this...

[CGD]

That sequence from Champagnie has to be some of the most embarrassing shit I’ve ever seen

Someone needs to make a compilation of all his missed dunks. He has some truly impressive ones this season.

[CorrectCrusader]

Rivals lonnie fs

[LeBowen]

Julian probably broke the record for most missed dunks in a season.

Solid game so far, Graham showing he was in the doghouse for no reason.

[Splits]

VW such a bitch asking out of the game. wtf. Grow a pair.

:cry mommy I played 9 minutes :cry

[John B]

This could turn into another monster game for Wemby

[onechance87]

champ should be cut after that stupid pass

[CGD]

LOL, Julian Champagnie really has overestimated his vertical leaping ability this year

I think it’s the hands more than the jump. He doesn’t seem to be able to grip it well.

[thiste]

I don't mind these dancers

[spurraider21]

really think we could have gotten something for Graham at the deadline had we let him play throughout the year

[onechance87]

VW such a bitch asking out of the game. wtf. Grow a pair.

:cry mommy I played 9 minutes :cry

its 1`vs 5 Hes the only one showing heart.

[LeBowen]

Spurs season in one play.
Graham does everything well and then Wesley, point guard playing ahead of him, airballs a wide open three.

I'm sorry, but Wesley won't ever be good enough.

[Splits]

really think we could have gotten something for Graham at the deadline had we let him play throughout the year

yeah, another 2nd round pick because we don't have enough of those

[onechance87]

yup a bad night of drafting that day.

[scott]

really think we could have gotten something for Graham at the deadline had we let him play throughout the year

Like when you run out of hard drive space, I think Brian Wright got the "you've reached the maximum number of SRPs" error message

[Splits]

its 1`vs 5 Hes the only one showing heart.

a heart that can't play more than 7 minute stints and gets eaten and owned by Joker.

And can't even start the 2nd quarter :lmao

[John B]

Has Rocky ever made a halfcourt shot ever??

[TheGreatYacht]

Wesley is such a useless fucking scrub holy shit. Airballing 3’s and clanking both free throws. No way this bum should be on an NBA roster next season

[John B]

Damn Wesley needs to practice shooting A LOT this off-season

[SpursFan86]

Wesley’s jumper is so broke

[Splits]

Is Reggie Jackson actually playing in sunglasses? Oakleys? For fucking real?

[onechance87]

a heart that can't play more than 7 minute stints and gets eaten and owned by Joker.

And can't even start the 2nd quarter :lmao

difference is joker gots sum help behind him,Wemby aint got shit.

[scott]

Tre Jones, the sniper

[TheGreatYacht]

Damn Wesley needs to practice shooting A LOT this off-season
The Puerto Rican league isn’t ready for him

[John B]

Tre Jones 3’s are starting to get money, over 40% lately

[Splits]

Tre Jones, the sniper

His 3 ball has been fuggin money since the new year

[John B]

Is Reggie Jackson actually playing in sunglasses? Oakleys? For fucking real?

I remember Horace wearing snorkle goggles back in the days

[Seventyniner]

Julian probably broke the record for most missed dunks in a season.

Nah, Jeff Ayers had more than that in one possession.

[SouthernFryd]

What's with the Denver symbol thing? Looks like a combo Masonic/Satan ritual sign. When did they do that? During this recent Woke era?

I think Wesley has the worst hands I've seen since...well, maybe the worst. He has to cup the ball if he wants to dunk.

[SpursFan86]

Wesley saw how shitty Champagnie was and is trying to one up him apparently

[TheGreatYacht]

That Wesley stint is the worst thing I’ve ever watched. An airball 3, two bricked FT’s, two stuffed dunks, stupid ass turnover to Cedi’s foot

[Splits]

Wesley gotta go. This fool just doesn't belong.

[John B]

Nice steal and assist for Wemby

[scott]

His 3 ball has been fuggin money since the new year

Just read he is shooting 53% from 3 (on over 50 attempts) since the ASB

[onechance87]

loving the freedom of wemby making plays for the team

[TheGreatYacht]

Wesley gotta go. This fool just doesn't belong.
The PJ Tucker of point guards. Check out his box scores on Google. He’s literally just doing cardio every night

[John B]

Just read he is shooting 53% from 3 (on over 50 attempts) since the ASB

Tre blueprint is his brother, both solid. But still a solid backup on a contender

[SPURt]

Branham is on freaking fire!

[John B]

Branham is cooking

[heyheymymy]

Spurs with a very fluid stretch wow

[TheGreatYacht]

What a stupid ass senile timeout lmao

[John B]

Tre just outrebounded Aaron Gordon

[DAF86]

What a stupid ass senile timeout lmao

Tank 101, bro.

[heyheymymy]

Spurs 18-4 run

[onechance87]

What a stupid ass senile timeout lmao

was a dumb to

[John B]

Branham with 15 points and the half is not over yet. If this guy just plays like this every night but has tendency to get lost sometimed

[Guru of Nothing]

Time to extend Branham?

[John B]

Champ just tedeemed himself with that block. Then Branham taking to the rim

[John B]

That was a wicked pass by Wemby

[SPURt]

Welp, the magic has gone from Branham

[TekXX]

I just started watching so prepare to start losing.

[CorrectCrusader]

Would be cool if Wemby could not get mugged for free tbh

[John B]

Wemby playing point guard

[Pauleta14]

Ridiculous amount of fouls not called for Victor

Home refs at their best

[Splits]

I remember Horace wearing snorkle goggles back in the days

at least they weren't tinted. jfc

I'm not for bringing back the short shorts, but these days of leggings and sleevings and headbands, I mean cmon.

[John B]

Branham with 16 pts at the half to lead all Spurs. Why can’t he play like this more? He has a tendency to be “non-challant” at times which I’m sure is killing Pop, such a great talent scoring the ball.

[heyheymymy]

Jokic literally showing Wemby to the ground and nugs allowed to be very physical with him

saw Wemby going over to the ref at halftime and the ref was already blabbing some excuses

[CGD]

Branham with 15 points and the half is not over yet. If this guy just plays like this every night but has tendency to get lost sometimed

He’s been great tonight. They’re playing free and I think it suits him. Im not sure his personality is a fit for the Pop tough love stuff, which seems to make him play out of fear.

[heyheymymy]

Bran was being very assertive first half

there was one three where he just pulled up and let it fly no hesitation. looked like a completely diff guy out there lol

blew past Jokic for the lay up too. very uncharacteristically balllsy tonight

[John B]

Jokic literally showing Wemby to the ground and nugs allowed to be very physical with him

saw Wemby going over to the ref at halftime and the ref was already blabbing some excuses

The refs are playing the rookie card on him. But he’ll get those calls eventually

[Guru of Nothing]

Is Champagnie the French word for scissorhands?

[CorrectCrusader]

Branham looks much faster tonight

[spurs1990]

This guy Wembanyama has blocked Jokic three times already

[Kurgan]

Refreshing to watch Wemby play without that scrub Jeremy Soshit weighing the team down like an anchor

[John B]

Pop could probably can get hooked with one of those seniors

[John B]

Another steal for Wemby

Assist for Wemby

[thiste]

Another steal for Wemby

They didn't give it to him...

[Pauleta14]

wtf the gave the steal to Champagnie

[Kawhi Duncan]

Some very obvious fouls for Wemby the refs not calling

Nights like this make me wish we could still do duels in this country, but maybe only against referees

[SpursFan86]

Some bullshit missed calls in this quarter

[ace3g]

There's the negative 3rdQ differential Spurs narrative I know and love.#tank (https://twitter.com/hashtag/tank?src=hashtag_click)

Wemby has been the one knocking it out of the opponents hands, but I think because another Spur picks it up they get the steal.

Wemby's gotten isos with a smaller guy since he put collins in, but holliday just pushed wemby to keep him from scoring

[spurs1990]

if he's done for the night 20-11-7-7 in his first game at Denver is solid

[Seventyniner]

Why the fuck is senile pop putting in more people who can't shoot over those who can???????

The same "senile Pop" who had his team within a point through three quarters on the road against the defending champs and down 3 of his best 4 players?

It's one thing to disagree with one of Pop's decisions, but the "senile" thing is unwarranted.

[TheGreatYacht]

This Jokic privilege is insane

[Tyronn Lue]

Does Jokic always play 12min quarters? Him and Embiid both did against us and went full stat pad mode on Collins
He's trying to win the MVP, his coach is playing along. Everyone does it.

HOLY FUCK WEMBY WENT FOR THE MURDER

[spurs1990]

This guy Wembanyama has blocked Jokic three times already

[Robz4000]

Wemby is a God damn cheat code.

[Tyronn Lue]

Victor with 9 blocks, flirting with the quad D

[TekXX]

Nice game but our lack of talent bites us in the ass again.

[Pauleta14]

If Victor was on a good shooting night...

[CorrectCrusader]

Bummer everything is short for Wemby today

[Barfunk]

Wemby 9-28. Yikessss..

[SpursFan86]

Great game defensively by Victor…offensively, not so much. Just can’t buy a bucket.

[Tyronn Lue]

Spurs need a 3pt shooter. Relying again and again on your center to shoot a clutch 3 from 26+ feet isn't a great game plan.

[TekXX]

I want Wemby to be successful but Pop has zero imagination when it comes to timeout plays contrary to what people thought during the Duncan/Manu years.

[MultiTroll]

Trey Jones F

Ive only watched the final 3 minutes.

[Pauleta14]

2-11 on 3s for Victor :lol

[Kurgan]

Spurs coaching staff are by far the worst in the league. Need to clean house and start with a real head coach next season.

[Degoat]

I know he’s not counted on but Blake Wesley might be the worst player in the NBA, Offers nothing on offense when he’s on the court.

[TekXX]

Another moral victory

[TheGreatYacht]

Terrible shooting night for Wemby. This is for sure dropping that FG% by 1

[MultiTroll]

Popped doing his usual post game virtue signaling bullshit.

[BatManu20]

Was hoping for OT so Wemby could go for a Quadruple-Dub but his supporting cast wants to go home unfortunately.

[KobesAchilles]

The nice thing about Wemby going forward is that he’s going to work with Duncan one on one a lot to develop these go to moves in end of game situations. Also Dilly will be on our team next year so we will have a guy who can create for others and himself in these situations where we need a 3

[Splits]

Great loss.

Pop sure seems to enjoy losing and kissing his bffs

[Barfunk]

Spurs coaching staff are by far the worst in the league. Need to clean house and start with a real head coach next season.

Love Pop's political views, but this isn't the great 2005/2014-2017 Coach Pop of yester-yore.

[Kurgan]

I want Wemby to be successful but Pop has zero imagination when it comes to timeout plays contrary to what people thought during the Duncan/Manu years.

It's probably been more than a decade since Pop's had a decent out of timeout play. He's beyond washed and way overpaid.

[Pauleta14]

Nothing went on offense for Vic

I hope he learns from it, he rushes too much and needs at least a cple go to moves

Great attitude anyways, love that he keeps shooting even having a bad night.

[Arcadian]

I still don't like the jacking up 3s by Victor. I know he can make them, but I also know he can get himself an easier shot.

[spurs1990]

I mean Wembanyama just wasn't giving an f with his shot collections with no expectations. half of his 3's were Curry distances

[Tyronn Lue]

It's probably been more than a decade since Pop's had a decent out of timeout play. He's beyond washed and way overpaid.
I give Pop shit but this G league squad with Victor took the champs to the wire in Denver. Not sure what you expect.

[Robz4000]

Was hoping for OT so Wemby could go for a Quadruple-Dub but his supporting cast wants to go home unfortunately.

That last three by Wemby told me he wanted to go home too tbh.

[thiste]

Victor couldn't buy a bucket tonight, unfortunate because the game certainly was within reach... nights like that happen, onto the next.

[Tyronn Lue]

I still don't like the jacking up 3s by Victor. I know he can make them, but I also know he can get himself an easier shot.
He seemed gassed, probably never been to Denver.

[Duncan2177]

2-11 on 3s for Victor :lol

The high elevation doesn't help.

[Barfunk]

This isn't your 2nd cousin's step brother's uncle's Coach Pop.

[Pauleta14]

I don't care what the media say, Victor is the DPOY for anyone watching NBA

[thiste]

Also don't forget Pop made Victor play most of the first quarter, he was totally gassed when he went to the bench, maybe that threw his shot off for the rest of the game.

[Thomas82]

Was hoping for OT so Wemby could go for a Quadruple-Dub but his supporting cast wants to go home unfortunately.

Me too.....so close to the quad-double!!

[Pauleta14]

The high elevation doesn't help.

Maybe, but I’ve notice the less arch the more misses

[CGD]

Some of y’all are simply pathetic with your boring ass Pop/Brian Wright takes.

This was a great game. The guys played their hearts out and came up short against the top seed in the West playing for positioning.

[thiste]

BTW congrats on Tre for his triple double!

Victor came close to the quadruple, there is zero doubt he'll get it soon enough.

[Mugen]

Please god get this kid some help next season :lol

[Seventyniner]

Spurs need a 3pt shooter. Relying again and again on your center to shoot a clutch 3 from 26+ feet isn't a great game plan.

To be fair, the Spurs didn't have Vassell, Keldon, or Osman available at the end of the game. There aren't a lot of shooters left.

[Spurs Homer]

Were the spurs out of fucking timeouts?

pop refuses to call timeouts when victor is gassed

call the fucking timeout- let victor get a quick blow then run a play for victor

[John B]

Only 2 TO’s for Wemby tonight but 31% FG. He needs to be a little patient. He makes sone of those and a little help from the ref, they won that game. Still we need the L.

[John B]

I give Pop shit but this G league squad with Victor took the champs to the wire in Denver. Not sure what you expect.

Tbh this G-League squad played better than the regulars, with their hassling and attacking the rim.

[John B]

Braun should’ve attempted that layup instead of passing to MPJr for a eventual 3pts. That would’ve been Wemby’s 10th block for a triple-double

[spurraider21]

Like when you run out of hard drive space, I think Brian Wright got the "you've reached the maximum number of SRPs" error message
his dumb ass traded a high SRP last year for two future SRPs :lol

because we needed more. coulda just taken some guy who was willing to sit on a 2-way instead of using the spot on bediako, rice, etc.

amari bailey, gg jackson, emoni bates, among others, were all 2nd rounders last year who ended up accepting 2 way contracts

[itzsoweezee]

That was an amazing game. Denver has an extreme home court advantage and the spurs still had them on the ropes. They looked definitely gassed after that transition-heavy third quarter.

And 44 three point attempts was encouraging.

[z0sa]

Some of y’all are simply pathetic with your boring ass Pop/Brian Wright takes.

This was a great game. The guys played their hearts out and came up short against the top seed in the West playing for positioning.

Yeah, pretty much the whole roster came to play. It's in Denver, too - which obviously does count for something, especially for a rookie. I think it's safe to say the guys absolutely played their hearts out. It's clear (for once) we're tanking. Nothing else to take away from this game except watch out when the Spurs actually become good.

[Fireball]

another great game to watch ...

[MannyIsGod]

What I care more about is how quickly Wemby bails on good position in the post. I think helping establish some go to moves with his back to the basket will be essential. With his length he's unguidable in those situations and it has to be part of his game. Jacking up 3s isn't ideal but also he's got no help out there at all. Without Sochan, Vassel, and KJ, this team is BAD. There were points tonight where Tre Jones, Blake Wesley, and Champgne all had incredibly awful moments. Just incredibly rough watching some of these players on the court. Its not that long when players like Eubanks were burried on the bench and now we really have players that have no place in the NBA filling up rotation spots. At least Branham played well tonight.

[freetiago]

Any word on the Spurs best PF Osman and how serious his injury was.

[onechance87]

would like to see more of the pairing of mamu and wemby.

[Pauleta14]

Any word on the Spurs best PF Osman and how serious his injury was.

X-Rays were negative. Shouldn’t be too bad

[exstatic]

Trey Jones F

Ive only watched the final 3 minutes.

Tre Jones had a triple double, 10p/11a/12r.

[JPB]

Tbh this G-League squad played better than the regulars, with their hassling and attacking the rim.

Just one game ofc, but seeing this season the little or (absence) of difference, when given the chance, between all these guys, it tells about the level of what's supposed to be the core of this team, which actually would be 2nd or 3rd team in any other one. Our starters are clearly not NBA starters.

[MultiTroll]

Tre Jones had a triple double, 10p/11a/12r.
Perhaps fatigued at end of game?

[Tyronn Lue]

To be fair, the Spurs didn't have Vassell, Keldon, or Osman available at the end of the game. There aren't a lot of shooters left.
They used the same play several nights ago, inbounds to Victor 30' from the basket.

[Tyronn Lue]

Braun should’ve attempted that layup instead of passing to MPJr for a eventual 3pts. That would’ve been Wemby’s 10th block for a triple-double
Only Reggie Jackson was that stupid.

[wildbill2u]

I haven't been crazy about Jones as a starter, but I have to say he has mightily improved during the year. True, he can be overwhelmed by superior and bigger players while on defense, but he does hustle and try. Has anybody noticed how many rebounds he gets for a small guard? We ought to be giving him some props for what he DOES do that might be out of his skillset from the start of the year.

[spurraider21]

ive actually felt like Tre has kind of gotten worse throughout the year. started off pretty hot when he was named starter and hasnt had the same impact recently. although his 3 point shot has been falling lately

[Mugen]

Why is Graham getting minutes? Just give them to Sidy tbh.

[Spurs Homer]

I nearly broke my tv screen when wemby was leading the break-
passes ahead (on his right) to branham
wemby points up and gets ready to get the pass right back for a throw down

branham hogs it and blows the layup

not sure if i hate branham or vassell more?

I haven't been crazy about Jones as a starter, but I have to say he has mightily improved during the year. True, he can be overwhelmed by superior and bigger players while on defense, but he does hustle and try. Has anybody noticed how many rebounds he gets for a small guard? We ought to be giving him some props for what he DOES do that might be out of his skillset from the start of the year.

Better shooting the 3 but worse playmaker especially at finding Victor.

up until his injury Vassell was Wemby’s best at assisting him in the last 30 ish games. It’s an issue

He’s smart and knows what he can and can’t do well

His end of the game yesterday was awful, after Vic blocked Reggie Jackson with a tie game he trows a stupid TO that a good PG shouldn’t make.

He’s good a keeping the tempo and hustling but he’s not an NBA starting PG who can manage the tempo and be secure in clutch time.

He’s the prototype back up PG at best bc of his hustle and IQ

Why is Malaki "I am incredibly incompetent at basketball and have the IQ of a used tampon" Branham getting minutes? Just give them to Sidy tbh.

No idea.

Sidy Cissoko looked terrified every time he touched the ball last night, playing hot potato and getting rid of it immediately. Not a good look.

^ Add him to the list. Murray, White, Walker IV, Sochan, Branham, Wesley, etc.

This is the product of drafting as rigidly as they do and having a coach who clearly has an adverse affect on young players confidence.

Other than LW, none of those players were afraid. I’ll put up with holes in your game, but don’t show fear.

Everyone one of them was terrified, especially when left open from 3 at the start to the point where some didn't even bother spacing to it off ball at times (Anderson, Murray, Sochan).

Wesley came in last year full of confidence (he was terrible, but still) and has clearly lost it to the point of having a usage rate that's lower than most rim running C's.
