[LeBowen]

Time to show some resilience and win this one for Pop.
Big opportunity for Castle.

[TDomination]

I love that castle is starting

[spursgu]

Gonna be an obstacle without Sochan. But I’m glad Castle is starting. I know djohn will wait after the game to flex his 1/2 inch dick if the rockets win and not a moment before. Fucking loser.

[Pauleta14]

KD is always upbeat in interviews and look at him now.

Fuck I hope I'm over thinking it but they're down since Pop is away as if hey knew something


https://youtu.be/BssCTXRI0Cc?si=FWfT7w6tcPeZbXPs

[Davidicus]

Anyone else annoyed we’re playing the Rockets for the 3rd time in the first 8 games?

[Pauleta14]

Great game for Wemby vs the worst match-up for him to see his (possible) improvements

Is he going to finally go at Brooks and use his size advantage or is he going to pass away again and mostly settle with 3s and mid ranges shots?

[timtonymanu]

This could get ugly. The Clippers basically blew out the Spurs once Sochan left if you took out that 1st quarter. I really hope I'm wrong.

[timtonymanu]

You already know the answer to this. :lol

not annoyed but i don't like it.

post covid nba scheduling has been wacky.

[Pauleta14]

You already know the answer to this. :lol

Honestly?

Half jinxing half "who knows, he tends to surprise us both ways" :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

Fuck houston. Go spurs go

[Mugen]

:lol I love Sochan tbh

[slick'81]

Nice drive big man

[Mugen]

Wemby, man...

[NASpurs]

Did Wemby eat popcorn before the game?

[onechance87]

wemby always loses the damn ball

[timtonymanu]

4 turnovers already. Gonna be that night.

[scott]

Wemby going for double digit turnovers tonight?

[100%duncan]

Fucking butterfingers

[Manu-of-steel]

Wemby can't stand his ground against smaller Dillon B

[Leetonidas]

Wemby playing like ass again

[timtonymanu]

Another fucking turnover

[slick'81]

Fxkn brooks

[onechance87]

turnovers already killing us.

[CorrectCrusader]

Wemby said "not in my house hehehe"

[slick'81]

Nasty block holy shit

[Pauleta14]

Either he flopped or his tried a charge. Both stupid choice by Vic smh

[NASpurs]

Season highlight block

[timtonymanu]

Wemby makes you go “oohh and ahhh” on defense and makes you shake your head on offense lol

[slick'81]

Brooks flopping already with crissy

[slick'81]

Rim check:cry

[timtonymanu]

Here comes our shitty bench

[CorrectCrusader]

Chris baiting to help Wemby is immaculate veteran shenanigans

[Russ]

Minix to get his first minutes?

[Leetonidas]

Will the spurs break 10 points this quarter? :lmao

[Mugen]

I dunno wtf is wrong with Wemby but I'm sure we'll hear about it in like a year or something.

[scott]

Our offensive is difficult to watch

[100%duncan]

Wemby’s lack of post game is starting to really concern me tbh

[onechance87]

castle gotta be confident to shoot.

[CorrectCrusader]

Zollins screening Castle bruh I can't

[pRoshi]

Someone needs to beat Wemby's ass off this weak shit

[Mugen]

This team is absolutely embarrassing tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah not bothering with this bullshit :lol

[Leetonidas]

Fucking embarrassing

[slick'81]

Gospursgo?

[scott]

It’s ironic that we suck so we need to more talent… but we suck too much to make it worthwhile to go out and acquire talent.

[timtonymanu]

There’s just no nba level talent from a lot of these players.

[onechance87]

castle may not be that better then wesley on offense.

[Mugen]

Castle's shooting might actually be worse than advertised tbh

[timtonymanu]

It’s ironic that we suck so we need to more talent… but we suck too much to make it worthwhile to go out and acquire talent.

All that fucker Wright does is trade picks. God I miss the days when we almost had Lauri. He’s not perfect but the spurs needed more than just Paul and Barnes to get better

[spursparker9]

Capture the flagg!

[timtonymanu]

I swear if we draft another player that has the description of “he just needs a 3 point shot.”

[Mnky]

Wemby playing like a little bich tbh. No idea when this kid fell in love with flopping so dang much. He flopped the wrong way after he fouled dillon Brooks on his shot. :rollin

Kid is getting thrown around and has nothing to respond with. He has no clue what to do with dillon Brooks on him. 3 games in and still hasn't figured out how to get a basket 1 on 1.

Very dissappinting Start. Mitch should bench em all and throw in the g league. Team looks so weak right now.

I need castle going in all night.

[Mugen]

Wemby has been the definition of soft on offense to start this season. Can't sugar coat that tbh.

[onechance87]

castle just shoot jumpers and master that first.

[NASpurs]

Honestly even if we had a 26 point lead right now we would still find some way to lose it...

I'm just glad my subscription for FanDuel is monthly.

[slick'81]

We need some devin vassell

[timtonymanu]

A 12 point deficit is nothing for regular nba teams. For us, it’s like being down 20 with all of our non scorers.

[Mugen]

Houston isn't even good :lol

The collective IQ of this team outside of washed CP3 is absolute shit tbh.

[Mnky]

Wemby is definitely not in bball shape man. 3 trips down the court and heas already walking. That Olympic trip really took a lot out of him. His energy levels were easily twice this last year. His legs are not under him for half the stuff he's trying to do.

[timtonymanu]

Wemby can’t post up again :lol

[pRoshi]

This wemby pump faking shit at the elbow, who the fuck taught him that bullshit?

[Kawhi Duncan]

Once again... If we don't formulate an offensive structure around Wemby and we just leave it up to the players to play pick-up ball, we are going to continue to struggle offensively... We have a plethora of low-IQ players, Wemby included... Wemby has the potential to be high IQ, no other player does... Wemby needs to be taught... He isn't gonna just figure it out on his own...

It's compounded by the fact that he is soft and no one can shoot, but that's why you don't let a bunch of non-shooters play pick up ball... Structure an offense for God sakes

[slick'81]

Fckn wesley is awful

[td4mvp2k]

cut this mf Wesley already

[NASpurs]

Time to start up tankathon

Milwaukee and Philly need to start winning tbh.

[Mnky]

I know CP3 smacked the heck out of Brooks again. Man has earned his contract and then some already.

Watching cp3 play and watching the rest of the team just let's you know how far behind those guys are from rela players.

As wemby is lost in the paint while his man drains a 3.

[onechance87]

ugly stuff

[Pauleta14]

Why is Wesley on the floor??

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn I’ve seen more structure and cohesiveness on high school teams.

Wtf do these guys do in practice? Like fucking honestly. I see zero structure.

[Splits]

hopefully Vic can get some more 3s and fadeaway 20 footers up

[CorrectCrusader]

How fucking hard is it to hit an open 3 in the NBA. You're a damn NBA player!

[scott]

What do you think we could realistically get in a trade for Wemby?

I’d honestly consider it. This dude may not be him.

[Pauleta14]

Ime going at Wemby on defense and offense , he makes every one move him up and down to tire im up. Smart

[Mugen]

When you supposed best offensive player actively avoids getting the ball, you're in really bad shape. I have no idea what happened to Vic over the summer tbh.

[NASpurs]

What do you think we could realistically get in a trade for Wemby?

I’d honestly consider it. This dude may not be him.

Giannis?

[CorrectCrusader]

Keldon has ZERO idea how to switch on defense.

[Leetonidas]

I cant watch this garbage

[ace3g]

3 guys help on the drive leaving man open in the corner for 3....

[slick'81]

Brian wrong:lmao

[Mugen]

Idk if they got some serious news about Pop before the game or something. But the team looks absolutely dead out there tbh. Just put in Minix and the scrubs, at least they should in theory put some effort in.

[Mnky]

Yall really been hating pop and this the crap he's had to work with past few years.

Sochan haters hopefully can see how different the team looks as well. Dude can't shoot, but he ain't soft and plays his azz off. Spurs look weak and soft without him.

[CorrectCrusader]

What do you think we could realistically get in a trade for Wemby?

I’d honestly consider it. This dude may not be him.

bro what
he's 20 years old

[onechance87]

how is landale offense better then wembys.Fire the development team asap.

[Mugen]

Sochan haters hopefully can see how different the team looks as well. Dude can't shoot, but he ain't soft and plays his azz off. Spurs look weak and soft without him.

Yeah I'm sure he has no say which of these losers come and go on this team.

[Mnky]

Who do you think is President of Basketball Ops? :lol

Pop is not drafting bro. He's drinking wine in a basement somewhere.

[NASpurs]

:lmao can't even catch the fucking ball

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby has lost it mentally... He has zero guidance and you can literally see him losing more and more confidence as the season goes on... If something doesn't change, that damage may end up being permanent...

This reminds me of how horrible he looked in his first summer league game and he said "I was just running around out there"... It's CLEAR Pop and the staff has given him too much credit and not understand that he needs structure to thrive... Dude is 20... He isn't gonna figure it out

[Mnky]

Yeah I'm sure he has no say which of these losers come and go on this team.

He's the one who went after CP3. The only basketball player on the team. Be fair now.

[spurraider21]

i dont think we've gotten a single stop unless it was directly a wembanyama block :lol

[NASpurs]

Collins :lmao

That fucking headband is cutting off circulation to his brain.

[slick'81]

Atleast spurs can beat teams on the second night of back2backs

[james evans]

this team is fucking terrible. And yall think Flagg could possibly help this shit? Popovich managed to put together a team that can't defend, can't shoot, and can't pass

[onechance87]

why has bassey not been given a chance

[Mugen]

Jesus fucking christ get Collins off the floor please.

[CorrectCrusader]

BREAKING NEWS :

Team that added two old veterans and nothing else STILL BAD

[onechance87]

im noticing castle not that good of a rebounder.

[spurraider21]

bench guys have all been trainwrecks. each of branham, wesley, collins, mamu have turnovers and theyve all been ugly ones too.

as a team we have 12 turnovers already. just bad.

[spurraider21]

Collins :lmao

That fucking headband is cutting off circulation to his brain.
cobra kai collins

[Splits]

Holgrem + Shai for Wemby and our entire roster

[Kawhi Duncan]

Spurs fumbling Wemby needs to have a 30 on 30... Now it's to the point Champagne is playing more minutes than the generational talent... Wild

[Mugen]

Wemby has been objectively trash this season and he's still by far our best player with Sochan out :lol

I don't know what the fuck BWrong was smoking when he put this shit together tbh.

[Pauleta14]

ST going at Castle smh :lmao

[Duncan2177]

Brian wrong:lmao

A shitty GM.

[pRoshi]

Everything that owned us last year still does

[Kawhi Duncan]

Not being able to create an offense where the 7'5 player with some guard skills to get easy looks is wild

[NASpurs]

Let's not blame Wrong. Pop and RC are the ones who hired him.

[james evans]

Spurs fumbling Wemby needs to have a 30 on 30... Now it's to the point Champagne is playing more minutes than the generational talent... Wild
the 30 for 30 is coming. HOw they managed to lose Kawhi AND Wemby . It's going to be crazy.

[NASpurs]

Great three Wemby :lol Just because you can doesn't mean you should whether or not it was a 2 for 1.

[Kawhi Duncan]

The spacing is absolute shit... Guys don't even know how to space the floor... Rook was supposed to take his man to the other side of the floor to take away the help on Wemby... Shit coaching

[Mugen]

Wemby not even putting effort out there tbh

[Dex]

Wemby should not be allowed to shoot threes anymore unless the shot clock is under 5 seconds.

Any other player would be benched and on their way to the GLeague if they were shooting like that.

Obviously he brings a lot of other things to the table, but these three-pointers are killing me

[Mnky]

I don't think castle is doing too bad tbh. It's hard to play as the point when you have no shooters, cutters, or people who can screen tbh.

[Robz4000]

Time to trade Wemby for his own good tbh. There's no way this organization has the ability to develop him into the player he could be.

[SPURt]

This shit is hard to watch

[Kawhi Duncan]

LMFAO... Wemby is a fucking bust

[bbarry]

A WNBA team... no, a college women's team could beat this team right now.

[timtonymanu]

Time to trade Wemby for his own good tbh. There's no way this organization has the ability to develop him into the player he could be.

Spurs lucked into having him but otherwise just poor decision after poor decision since Nephew bailed

[Splits]

maybe we break 80 points tonight?

[NASpurs]

I was on a 7 day trial for Fan Duel. I'm canceling that shit tonight before they charge me for this shit :lol

[Pauleta14]

I wish it was Mitch instead of Ime who was miked up. WTF is he asking them to do??

I also wish we had Ime

[onechance87]

ST going at Castle smh :lmao

We drafted him 4th overall.It would be nice for him to have a good game once in awhile.Or is gonna need 3
or 4 years as well.

[NASpurs]

We're sorry to see you go

Your subscription has been canceled, you won’t be able to see any premium content.


:flipoff:cry

[spursparker9]

Might as well trade CP3 and Barnes for more picks

Let's focus on tanking this season

[Mugen]

This org is absolutely cooked tbh. I actually would not be surprised at all if Vic decided to leave after his rookie deal.

[onechance87]

I don't think castle is doing too bad tbh. It's hard to play as the point when you have no shooters, cutters, or people who can screen tbh.

its hard to play pg if you cant shoot either.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Time to trade Wemby for his own good tbh. There's no way this organization has the ability to develop him into the player he could be.

Agree... At this point I fully believe the Spurs are at fault for Kawhi leaving too... Ever since Duncan left there's been pure disfunction and bad decisions... And the common denominator has been our coaches and front office... Can't even blame youth because OKC just as young, and are a top 3 team in the league

[james evans]

I think Wemby should stop setting screens because when he does, he can never roll to the basket once he's bumped in the process.

[Pauleta14]

And a big fat :lmao at those who thought I was tripping saying PATFO bringing the same roster with the lowest BBIQ and passing abilities ever built = Not trying to win

It just sucks that they're putting Wemby in those conditions. It can end up badly for all the parties

For all the criticism HE DESERVES, he's being trapped on offense and targeted on D making him go up and down as much as possible.

The kid is exhausted and has zero plays drawn for him. Zero P&R. It's worse than last season

[Pauleta14]

I think Wemby should stop setting screens because when he does, he can never roll to the basket once he's bumped in the process.

His team is exhauting him as much as the opponents :lol

Worst coaching staff in the league

It took you this long to figure that out hahaha. Kawhi left, Murray wanted out. Duncan even wanted out at one point. There is something going on in the organization that the media is avoiding.

[james evans]

its hard to play pg if you cant shoot either.
of course he cant shoot. We drafted him. There is something about non shooters that Popovich has a hard on for.

[Mugen]

High draft picks don't even mean shit when you have BWrong making the pick tbh.

[slick'81]

of course he cant shoot. We drafted him. There is something about non shooters that Popovich has a hard on for.

chip was able to fix this bs.

[james evans]

Worst coaching staff in the league
by far the worst coaching staff

[onechance87]

Just dont understand why we brought wesley or branham back.They suck so bad,They are not good at anything.Why waste 15 million
of cap space on them next year.We cut boston jr this preseason when he looked better then branham,Now new orleans picked him up
and hes looked good for them sor far.Wtf are we doing.

[scott]

LOL at 5 straight years in the lottery, headed for six, having one the most coveted lottery maybe in league history… and you’re still no closer to turning the corner.

[Pauleta14]

We drafted him 4th overall.It would be nice for him to have a good game once in awhile.Or is gonna need 3
or 4 years as well.

He's learning the hard way with a team completely lost, I fear/suspect for reasons beyond basketball.

I almost don't care about his stats, what matters is his choices and his attitude/character on the floor.

Risacher sucked balls and is having a monster game tonight

[james evans]

Every team in the league has as least 3 or 4 guys that can consistently hit open 3s. We don't have ONE!!

[slick'81]

I dont know what rc buford saw in b.wrong

At this point, I don't think Pop cares about winning basketball. He just wants guys that can't really play because they'll listen. They're happy to be in an NBA jersey so they'll listen to everything he says and that makes him happy. A guy like Collins getting minutes on an NBA team is crazy.

[Splits]

moar Castle 3s. 12.5% on the season :lmao

yea lottery picks usally have great games here and there.Edy had a great game the other day,Now risacher having a great game today.
Sarr and other rookie have had good game so far.Waiting for castle to show something.

[Strategic]

I like Barnes not throwing the ball to Vic standing on the arc. He knows Vic will jack it

[Mugen]

Wemby either gassed or just quit. He not even trying on D anymore tbh.

[Splits]

Wemby from the logo! CLANK

[CorrectCrusader]

The spacing is absolute shit... Guys don't even know how to space the floor... Rook was supposed to take his man to the other side of the floor to take away the help on Wemby... Shit coaching

Correct, there's zero driving lanes. People cut into driving lanes far too often and don't give space to the ball handler. Just reckless movement for movements sake.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Collins is the worst player in the NBA

[onechance87]

Wemby either gassed or just quit. He not even trying on D anymore tbh.

hes the only one trying on d.Even castle has looked average

[CorrectCrusader]

Correct, there's zero driving lanes. People cut into driving lanes far too often and don't give space to the ball handler. Just reckless movement for movements sake.

Btw this is what happens when you have too many non shooters on the floor.

[spursparker9]

Actually....why is Wemby not ready for the season? Sure he participated in the olympics, but the Spurs did not even enter the playoffs. It is not like Spurs reached the finals and play until June and he participated in the Olympics in Jul/Aug.

[Mugen]

Even this new announcer is trash tbh :lol

[ambchang]

This garbage is embarrassing. Just unwatchable.

2 of those are starting every games are more responsabilised, the other, Edey has amazing passers around and well utilized

Castle tho? Pop and his staff still tinkering

[spurraider21]

im really glad we guaranteed NEXT season's contracts for Wesley and Branham

[Strategic]

Spurs run a couple plays and get a couple good shots then go back to standing around

[Devi8or]

Collins is a negative on both sides of the floor, just throw Bassey in there, it can't be worse

[onechance87]

2 of those are starting every games are more responsabilised, the other, Edey has amazing passers around and well utilized

Castle tho? Pop and his staff still tinkering

castle problem is he cant shoot at all.Cant really run offense or do anything for him cause hes so bad on offense.Its on him
to improve his shooting and ball handling.

[Splits]

It's official. Castle's shot is broken.

[Dex]

Collins is so freaking useless.

[Kawhi Duncan]

See Wemby? See how easy it is to score on wings when you go at them at the basket? Wemby is shooting over 70% in the paint this season and somehow we can't get him to consistently get the ball in areas he can attack the paint

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby is low IQ

[onechance87]

wemby shooting those long threes is lazy basketball from him.

[Dex]

Wemby is low IQ

In all seriousness, dude really may need to get over himself.

He is playing like he is a 7'5 Steph Curry out there. Problem is, he is shooting 20%, and him being away from the rim completely negates his height advantage.

There is a reason why teams are leaving him wide open.

[Mugen]

im really glad we guaranteed NEXT season's contracts for Wesley and Branham

:lol I think they're paying close to 50mil this and next season for those two losers + Keldon + Zollins. Just flat out ineptitude by this FO.

[Mugen]

In all seriousness, dude really may need to get over himself.

Cp3 is coaching Mitch Johnson ... :lmao

and atl beating the knicks.What a bad day.

[scott]

Glad Kid Genius Mitch is playing the core rotation deep into this game to chase a 25 point deficit, so that they are nice and exhausted for tomorrow’s back-to-back

[Mugen]

0-5 from 3. 5-8 from 2. when is this kid going to learn what his strength is?

He's surrounded by enablers. He came into the league saying he wanted to be coached hard and he's gotten the exact opposite :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

This organization needs an entire overhaul top to bottom. The schemes suck the drafting sucks. This team is the least athletic team in the entire NBA and can’t shoot for shit on top of that, it’s pathetic.

[timtonymanu]

:lol I think they're paying close to 50mil this and next season for those two losers + Keldon + Zollins. Just flat out ineptitude by this FO.

Our team is made up of charity cases and players who would have been gone from the league if they were on other teams. Blame Pop and the front office for going too far with their "we take care of our own" philosophy.

I think it's why Wemby is resorted to this neutered, undisciplined version. Pop even told him "keep shooting those 3's."

The mindset is "screwing up is fine as long as you have good culture :cry. Do you study about Ghana? Basketball is secondhand to all of this."

You and I could get a guaranteed contract on the Spurs tomorrow, tbh. Our franchise stopped caring about competency the moment Nephew bailed.

[onechance87]

:lol Why is everyone turning into Steph Curry when they played against us

we aint looking good at either side.This is flat out bad.Im not sure sochan could of helped us much.

[Splits]

He's surrounded by enablers. He came into the league saying he wanted to be coached hard and he's gotten the exact opposite :lol

It's ridiculous. He hasn't been coached at all, just jack up whatever he wants and freelance. Zero structure, torturous to watch with such upside

[Dex]

I don't know if I've mentioned before how absolutely fucking useless Zach Collins is.

[james evans]

:lol Why is everyone turning into Steph Curry when they played against us
they're wide open. Everyone in the league can hit wide open 3s except us

[AusSpur]

Is Wesley the worst finisher in the league - absolutely no improvement in year 3.

[Dex]

10 minutes of garbage time.

Yep, this team might as well just tank again.

[Splits]

maybe we can see how Sidy can't shoot either

[Dex]

We seriously have our summer league lineup out there.

[Mugen]

It's amazing how easy it is to get guys like Sengun/Landale an open dunk while it's a fucking uphill struggle to get our 7'5" guy a decent look within 20 ft :lol

LOL Ingram with the shooting pose....on the airball

There is a reason why teams are leaving him wide open.

Not only that... But he claims to pattern his game off KD, when this season he is taking more threes per game than KD has ever taken in any season of his career

[spursgu]

yeah no way to spin this. Sochan and Vassell being out is no excuse. but at least small dicked losers like rocket and mavsfag can bump that thread downstairs and show how asshurt they "aren.t"

[NASpurs]

Not only that... But he claims to pattern his game off KD, when this season he is taking more threes per game than KD has ever taken in any season of his career

Seems like he forgot the shooting part when he was patterning his game.

Yep! I'm glad ppl are seeing what I've been saying since last year... And everyone was telling me the coaches knows what theyre doing... I've been screaming from the rooftops they're ruining his career... Now ppl are starting to realize

Hopefully this leads to Bassey and Duke jr overtaking Collins and Wesley in the rotation.

[Kawhi Duncan]

:lol Why is everyone turning into Steph Curry when they played against us

Drop coverage

[timtonymanu]

Cp3 is coaching Mitch Johnson ... :lmao

I don't even think Mitch is to blame.

Spo one of the best at maximizing with little couldn't even get this team to play better. Just barely borderline nba players all around. Like holy shit even having Austin Daye might be better right now.

Drop coverage

Somehow, this team manages to be bad at defending the three-point line, and also defending against layups and/or rebounding the ball.

[onechance87]

We can agree castle may not be the best player from this draft after all in the next few years.Dude has alot of to work on offensivly.

[NASpurs]

I don't think that Wemby for DPOY thread is going to get bumped again this year :lol

It was fun while it lasted

It's frustrating when they're prioritizing defense over offense and yet they still are making so many defensive mistakes.

[timtonymanu]

When Mr. Body scoffs at guys like LaMelo and Trae young but both guys would easily raise our win %.

I'm glad we have scrubs like Branham and Wesley who are more versatile in our "strong" defensive scheme.

[Ditty]

I will wait to pass judgment until we get DV back but damn this is bad.

Spurs with a couple days off before Jazz come to town. Hopefully Vassell will get some PT.

I wasn't

The camera cought an interaction at the timeout between both and Cp had the body language of a coach going at his player toward Mitch. It made me laugh

no one would do shit with this roster

[Larry O]

Looks like the Spurs waived the white flag before the opening jump.... SMH.....

[z0sa]

Turned this one off early. Spurs are despicably bad, Wemby jacks up way too many 3's, the roster construction is locked into trash tier for years to come, etc etc.

[onechance87]

Jaylen wells who was drafted in the fucking second round this year looking better then castle and our half our roster this season.
Boston jr who was cut this preseason is looking better then branham and wesley and are the same age.Fire our scouts and coaching asap.

[paperboy77]

How about bust someone's ass coach? Pop could call a timeout and discuss things with the assistants back then. Back then you had Tim, Many and Tony who understood what was up and didn't need coach as much. Today's scrubs... they need all kinds of structure and coaching. I really think until someone lights Wemby up he'll continue to struggle. We really need a bonified scorer that's earned the respect of the refs and that will show the kids how its done. (Paul is that guy but he's too old physically.)

[Strategic]

They play tomorrow night tbh. You right I wrong.

[Arcadian]

Collins is the worst player in the NBA

You sure it's not Branham?

In any case, this team running a Collins-Branham duo for significant minutes is hard to watch. Actually, it was quite funny when they ran a pick and roll, the ball hit Branham in the hands, and it bounced off his hands out of bounds. He looked so sad after that :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby looks slow as fuck. He only played 25 minutes tonight and still looked gassed for most of it

[skin27]

I was at the game! Spurs suck this game but you won really focus on it if you are watching at the venue:lmao:lmao

[Fireball]

life without Sochan is not good ... and the 'I must watch Wemby' effect has worn off tbh

[Atl Spur]

Don’t worry about castle, he’s playing cautious in these game as expected. As the year goes on he’ll get going on both ends.

nope it looks mental to me.Dude is not confident.

is vassell on track to return soon?

Where is Brandon Boston Jr.? Did he make another team?

Edit : Darn, just looked it up and he's with the Pelicans. He's getting some court time averaging 9.8ppg and 51% FG, 35% 3P. I thought he looked alright. Never got any court time here due to wasting that time with scrubs like Branham and Wesley.

Also, not related to it, but Castle looks like he has zero confidence on offense. That needs to change, otherwise, he'll be going his way out of the league. Can't play scared and like a pussy out there on offense. If you're scared to shoot, the NBA isn't for you (don't mean jack up shots like, Victor, though).

Speaking of Victor, really disappointed in how he's played on offense. Jacking up 3s in not the answer. They're not good shots. I don't mind him shooting 3s, but they got to be better quality looks. Shoot within the flow of the game, stop breaking the flow to jack up a shot.

[Bruno]

Spurs are just right now in a rough patch:
- Pop isn't available with uncertainties about his future.
- Wembanyama is struggling mostly with a huge shooting slump and an offensive identity crisis.
- Sochan and Vassell are injured. They are/were 2 of best Spurs players. Tre Jones being out is also an issue.
- While Castle has shown some flashes and promises for the future, he isn't ready right now. It's all about him being able to be a decent shooter.

[Pauleta14]

How is this guy coaching in the NBA?? :lol

He thinks he did his job
