Wizards Injuries: Saddiq Bey – Out (knee), Malcolm Brogdon – Out (hand), Richaun Holmes – Questionable (illness)

Spurs going for a 2 games win streak. Spurs by 15. GSG! :flag::flag::flag:

[Leetonidas]

Would be nice to get a win. When was the last time the Spurs had a .500 or better record 12 games into the year? :lol has to be since 2019

[LeBowen]

5-3 start in 2019-20 season and then lost 8 straight.
31-29 in 2020-21 season, finished 33-39.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Going to the game, first one for me this season - GSG!

Spurs 107 / Wizards 101

[slick'81]

Definitely a spurs W:flag:

[exstatic]

GSG

[Mugen]

Must win tonight tbh. The next 10 games after the Wizards are pretty brutal, could easily see them going 3-7 or 2-8.

[John B]

1st match-up between Wemby vs Sarr! Wemby seems extra motivated against tall competitions. Castle also needs to show-up against top rookie. Let’s goooooo!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

Definitely a must win. I just want the team to beat the teams they should be beating. And that includes 60% of the Eastern Conference.

[tonight...you]

Take this one for Pop.

[slick'81]

Take this one for Pop.

knowing him i say he returns at some point :cry

[Pauleta14]

Hope I don't jinx it but it's a game for a huge stat line for Wemby

[Arcadian]

https://twitter.com/Matthew_Tynan/status/1856747443083207146

Man, it's so crazy seeing Tim look small next to somebody. He only goes up to Victor's shoulder.

Also - what I would give to see Tim and Vic play against (or with) each other in their primes.

[DAF86]

Must win tonight tbh. The next 10 games after the Wizards are pretty brutal, could easily see them going 3-7 or 2-8.

And to think we should have been 8-4 after tonight's game if we would have taken care of bussiness vs Jazz and Clippers. :cry

Then again, we probably lose tonight and realize we just suck.

[LeBowen]

Tbh. I've accepted that you can never count on winning any games for sure unless you're a legit contender.
Just look at last night's upset.

The other day I watched a podcast with LMA and he said that his first season with the Spurs was just surreal.
He couldn't comprehend how easy everything was, felt like everything was effortless and then you look at the scoreboard and we're up by 20.
It takes many years of sustained success to get back on that level.

The only thing I want is that every player shows effort in every possession, that would be a start. So far it's been solid in that regard.
Except for Collins. I hate Collins.

[Fireball]

:flag: lets hope Wemby continues his hot shooting!!! And give him more time with Vassell!

I thought it was Lefty's job to invoke the counter jinx?

Or does he only do that on the Soccer forum?

2nd best net rating??? Paul, Castle, Barnes, Champ, Wemby. Wow

[Rosewood]

I couldn’t stomach watching the good guys lose to the most unlikable duo in league history.

[heyheymymy]

CHAMP 3

[heyheymymy]

WEMBY 3

3s still raining for Wemby and the Spurs.

Wemby 3 again

[Dejounte]

CASTLE 2

[Rosewood]

Damn Wemby :lol

[slick'81]

Wemby going nutz

[LeBowen]

Poor Sarr is in for a really bad time tonight.

[heyheymymy]

Spurs playing with a sense of purpose

[SpursFan86]

Hate to beat a dead horse but don’t love the shot selection…hard to argue with the results though :lol Great start.

[Russ]

This looks like a Summer League crowd (except smaller).

[slick'81]

Wemby the destroyer of shots

[poopbox]

Dude from the wizards just dropped the ball at the mere sound of Victor footsteps behind him :rollin

[slick'81]

Castle being disruptive

How Chris Paul miss that.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Collins is so bad

[Rosewood]

Even Collins wants Wemby back in.

[heyheymymy]

Bran jam

[poopbox]

This has to be the longest Keldon has ever gone without getting a shot up :rollin

[weeks]

we're on pace for like 200 pts :downspin:

[slick'81]

Barnes almost had that finish :lol

[lefty20]

Our 2nd unit trying their best to keep the Wiz in the game.

[heyheymymy]

both those Vassell triples looked like they had bad shot releases

[onechance87]

lol wtf was that...Why dont we got a pg out there

[LeBowen]

Just give Bassey some minutes, Collins can't play against Valanciunas, especially not while in foul trouble.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Why is Collins getting minutes? Wtf does Manu need to do to play more minutes than Collins?

[NASpurs]

Isn't Valanciunas the one who always makes Collins his bitch every time they play?

[Rosewood]

Why is Collins getting minutes? Wtf does Manu need to do to play more minutes than Collins? Kill him.

[lefty20]

This no PG offense is some fugly shite.

[Frenchfred]

and just like that, the Wizards are back in the game

[Robz4000]

:lmao blowing a 16 point lead already

[KingKev]

Watching the Spurs vs Wiz is like watching the WNBA or special olympics.

[onechance87]

branham with terrible d.

[Splits]

lol VW plays 4:41 of the first and comes back in for 36 seconds. Stupid.

[poopbox]

Val skull fucking Collins as usual.

Our bench blowing a 16 point lead in 4 min :rollin

[Kawhi Duncan]

Mitch has some shit ass substitution patterns

[james evans]

as soon as we go up 16, the collins/johnson duo erased that lead quick

[Kawhi Duncan]

branham with terrible d.

Typical

[james evans]

Why is Collins getting minutes? Wtf does Manu need to do to play more minutes than Collins?
Collins is everyone's bitch. If there is a center in this league that can't score on him, he needs to lose his contract

[KDKSpurs24]

lol VW plays 4:41 of the first and comes back in for 36 seconds. Stupid.
He was standing there since the 2 min mark it just wasn’t a whistle. And I don’t know if you noticed or not but.. Wemby gets winded HELLA FAST. He asks to come out of the game all the time. So this is the type of rotation it’s going to be.

[onechance87]

Val skull fucking Collins as usual.

Our bench blowing a 16 point lead in 4 min :rollin

thank branham,keldon and collins for that.

[baseline bum]

as soon as we go up 16, the collins/johnson duo erased that lead quick

I blame it more on Branham at PG

[slick'81]

Those big player heads they sell at the games are weird

[Robz4000]

Wemby going for 50 tonight in a losing effort tbh.

[slick'81]

Victor miller tbh

He was there since like the 2:45 mark, yes. Call a fucking timeout when they're raining threes on our scrubs and get him back in

[Pauleta14]

over/under Wemby shoots 20 3s? :lol

[DAF86]

Wesley over Mamu in the rotation makes no fucking sense. :bang

[slick'81]

over/under Wemby shoots 20 3s? :lol


over

[poopbox]

All these bums on the wizards who can't shoot hitting 3's on us

[Frenchfred]

the problem with Wemby shooting so many threes is that we don't have a center in the paint to catch the missed ones.

[Pauleta14]

only 1 reb for Vic smh

[slick'81]

The footwork by wemby

[heyheymymy]

lol repeatedly daring off Sarr at the three point line

[slick'81]

Fck! Kj

[poopbox]

Sarr bricking everything until Collins guards him and it's instant points :rollin

This moron Keldon fouling on a 3 point play :rollin

Keldon and Collins got to be the worst 2 man combo in the game :rollin

[LeBowen]

Our perimeter defense has been non-existant.

[Spurs Brazil]

How many of those stupid fouls Johnson already have this season. He’s terrible

[Kawhi Duncan]

Every single game we foul a 3 point shooter... Are these guys even being coached?

[Manu-of-steel]

Keldon with another foul on a 3 point attempt. He also fouled a three point shooter last game. Bone head play

[ace3g]

Wizards commentators telling Poole he should stay on the ground so the call is upgraded to a flagrant 2 foul...

And no need to watch replay, it was clearly a flagrant...

[Ice009]

What is Victor doing? Have a bit more shot selection, darn, man. Great freaking move a minute later, though, but still, be a little bit more selective on the three pointers you shoot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another terrible defense play by Johnson.

[Frenchfred]

only 1 reb for Vic smh

and one FT attempt. That's the problem with playing on the perimeter.

[Manu-of-steel]

Hope they take a look at Bassey. Collins is a very poor defender

[poopbox]

OMG that pass by Poole :lmao

[gilmor2002]

tbh, Steph Castle plays better than Keldon, Collins, Vassell all combined

[lefty20]

Keldon be completely useless if he aint scoring out there, and doing it efficiently to boot.

[ace3g]

Nice gather by Wemby and pass to Vassell.

[CGD]

I’m blacked out from watching this game in my area, so watching #Crunchtime on NBATV to see if they show clips. First time, and what an amazing product! Is this new? It’s like redzone but for hoops.

[onechance87]

why not finish the qtr with the starting lineup.Why is keldon out there.

[DAF86]

why not finish the qtr with the starting lineup.Why is keldon out there.

He's the "6th man" that is promised to finish every half. :rolleyes

[onechance87]

stupid ass coach

[slick'81]

Lets go Stephon

[ace3g]

Castle 3!!!

[slick'81]

All tied up

[CorrectCrusader]

This Wizards team is young and talented. Watch out for them in the near future.

[spursparker9]

Too fast pace

[ace3g]

It didn't go but I liked that play out of the baseline inbound pass.

[Obstructed_View]

Are black color commentators outside of San Antonio required to mispronounce Vic's last name?

[DAF86]

What happened to the top 10 defense?

[CorrectCrusader]

Also, I'm ready to Crown Steph Castle as a permanent starter at this point. He can BALL

[Robz4000]

This team sucks.

[poopbox]

If we traded Collins and Keldon for almost anybody in the league this team would be better.

It's shocking how consistently bad we play with both of them on the floor

Sarr bricked everything he shot until he got guarded by Collins then Keldon

[Pauleta14]

was that a clean block by Sarr or a foul?

Didn't see clearly

[Spurminator]

Valanciunus would be such a perfect backup for us. Would be great for Wemby to get some practice reps against a real center too.

[onechance87]

Keldon is losing us this game

[poopbox]

Wesley is another dude who never does anything but run fast in a straight line. Dude is like a 6th round nfl running back

[Pauleta14]

and one FT attempt. That's the problem with playing on the perimeter.

and being bullied by JB

[Pauleta14]

over

I say 15

[timtonymanu]

This looks like the Jazz game all over again.

[CorrectCrusader]

Wesley is another dude who never does anything but run fast in a straight line. Dude is like a 6th round nfl running back

You know imagining Blake Wesley as a receiver right now... Damn he'd be insane

[onechance87]

If we traded Collins and Keldon for almost anybody in the league this team would be better.

It's shocking how consistently bad we play with both of them on the floor

Sarr bricked everything he shot until he got guarded by Collins then Keldon

i mean the coach is the one forcing them.Not sure why the coaches keep overplaying him.

[Mr. Body]

Annoying game, like the LAC one where it felt like they couldn't miss. Val and Sarr are hard for us to handle. Feels like they're more in control of the game and that needs to be fixed.

[Mr. Body]

Feel like Castle gets annoyed when the team starts doing stupid shit.

[Robz4000]

This looks like the Jazz game all over again.

More like the Clippers imo, but the result will be the same.

[Arcadian]

So yeah, Wemby is officially a chucker. A good one, but a chucker nonetheless.

[CGD]

Feel like Castle gets annoyed when the team starts doing stupid shit.

Me too Steph, me too

[heyheymymy]

yikes Devin Vassell has 4 pts, 2 ast at the half

1-8 fg, 0-6 3pa

[Raven]

spurs didn't play bad D, wizz were simply great shooting the ball

[onechance87]

castle on pace to play under 25 mins.Dude should be getting 30 mins plus

[TDomination]

That first possession was beautiful, castle penetration then dishes it out for the 3. Those 3s I love.
not the pull up for 3 with 19 sec on shot clock with no passing.
definitely not good better best

[skin27]

What the hell is happening to wemby why cant he get a fuckn rebound?

[heyheymymy]

Wemby's 24 first half points were his first half career high in pts

[cutewizard]

Pls win my Spurs

[cutewizard]

Guys, any free live link?

[skin27]

Wemby going for 50 tonight hopefully its translate to a win

[cutewizard]

Wemby's 24 first half points were his first half career high in pts


Wow!

[cutewizard]

Can't find any live link

[CGD]

castle on pace to play under 25 mins.Dude should be getting 30 mins plus

It’ll be hard not giving him more time, he’s that good. My hope is that as the season goes on the team prioritizes playing Steph and Wemby as much as possible to build the chemistry. Should be top goal.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Easily our worst defensive game

[slick'81]

Wemby on fire

[cutewizard]

Wemby on fire

[heyheymymy]

Wemby 3 straight games with at least 6 threes

[cutewizard]

Showing Sarr haha

[cutewizard]

We need To win this game

[Ice009]

Victor's doing some wild shit. Victor's playground. I just wish the defense and rebounding was better.

[slick'81]

Bailing these fckers out

[LeBowen]

If we lose to Kuzma and Poole chucking...

[Raven]

i'd like to see mamu playing, this is too little physicality

[baseline bum]

How does Mitch not make the challenge when CP3 is screaming for him to do it?

[ginobilized]

streameast is my go to

[100%duncan]

Bench should have controlled this game tbh. Unfortunately…

[skin27]

Hopefully they give the ball to wemby to get his first 50pts game tonight

[Mnky]

How does Mitch not make the challenge when CP3 is screaming for him to do it?

Yea I don't get the strategy of never using your challenges..

[CGD]

What’s the point of Harrison Barnes tbh? I truly hope he’s bringing all the vet wisdom off the court, bc I’ve not been impressed so far.

[cutewizard]

What's the score guys?

[heyheymymy]

Wemby hits his 7th three a new single game record for Vic

[Frenchfred]

What's the score guys?

85-91 spurs

[LeBowen]

Black Steph Curry, tbh.

[Frenchfred]

Wemby hits his 7th three a new single game record for Vic

kind of crazy that we depends on Wemby shooting over 50% at a high volume to be in the game

[SPURt]

Wemby is a bucket tonight, damn

[Dex]

W3MB3NYAMA!

[Pauleta14]

39 in 20 minutes is wild though.

[cutewizard]

Yesssssddsd

Steph Curry is the black Steph Curry

Some years back there was a video of Shaq shooting and making 3pts, then calling himself black Steph Curry.
I went with that reference.

Wemby too unselfish there. Should've just put it up himself.

[heyheymymy]

Wemby career high 43 points... at the end of the third quarter

[cutewizard]

Good game

Greatest steal ever

[Ice009]

Alright, the second half of that quarter was good.

[skin27]

Good, keep it under 20 was so wemby can get 60 he wont. He can if he play the whole 4th quarter

I remember the third quarter excellence of the Spurs championship years

[cutewizard]

Who was the scout who said no offensive impact??????

[slick'81]

When wembys hitting that 3 hes damn near unstoppable

[jesterbobman]

The shots have been going in, but regardless, I think the process has been better for Vic today. been only 2 feet behind the line rather than 6-7 feet out.

Vassell not being able to make a shot today, and the minutes with Devin, Keldon and Malaki on court without a PG were negatives. Tre Jones, we miss you.

[heyheymymy]

In the SAC Kings game last game Wemby hit a three and then attempted another quick one a possession or so later.

Sean said after he hit the first one, that Wemby should throw a fake next time and take the dribble to the basket.

Tonight Wemby has done that twice now

[slick'81]

47 points on 8 triples:wow

[SpursFan86]

Now that’s what I love to see. Pump fake on the 3 and drive inside to get to the line. As long as he’s doing a healthy combination of that + actually pulling up for the shot he’ll be fine. Just crucial that he’s hitting enough shots to force people to respect the shot.

[cutewizard]

Wemby angry

[lefty20]

Victor having a rough night from the stripe tonight of all games.

[100%duncan]

No way he gets subbed out here right

Wemby going for 50 tonight in a losing effort tbh.

Hopefully the second half of this doesn't come true...

[heyheymymy]

FUCK

DC

[TheBallsbreakers]

Who was the scout who said no offensive impact??????
Wemby takes these things personally.

[Splits]

we're giving Sarr the Sochan treatment

[poopbox]

They probably not going to put Victor back in and he going to finish with 9 3's and not 10 :rollin

[LeBowen]

50 on 27 shots.

[cutewizard]

Incredible Wemby
