Quick turnaround for the boys against a reeling Magic team that has lost 10 of their last 12 games.
Orlando is 22-25 and currently sitting in the 8th Seed.
Must-win game if the Spurs want any chance at the Play-In tbh. Let's get it.

we're exactly the right team to come along for the Magic to break out of their offensive slump. They will probably score over 120 points against our "defense" if you want to call it that

Knowing the history of former Spurs players there's a chance he blooms under better coaching but probably not knowing the history of the Bulls the past 25 years.

This defense is shit unless two of Sochan, castle, and Wemby are on the floor. Vassell might need to go to the bench. The coach needs to show that defense is valued with his actions

yeah some bad takes
but this shows that many were hoping (including me) that adding fox would at least allow us to be good enough to defeat struggling teams with ease.
but it is quite obvious that no team we play will be an automatic W.
as long as we continue to struggle rebounding the ball, everything else almost doesn't matter, we will continue to lose.

Suggs is doubtful, they'll start KCP and Anthony Black.
Guard matchups are manageable, Wagner/Banchero against Barnes/whoever isn't. Even if Jeremy starts instead of Devin it's a size disadvantage.

I'm fine with C3PO starting, as long as not R2D2 also, bad floor spacing and defense. But seriously, Threepio playing plenty seems perfect for a team that would be stupid to find a way to win more than 10 of their remaining 32 games.

The most important math here is we need to lose two games for every one we win the rest of the season. This is a big night, a POR win and an SAS loss and we finally move to the #9 lotto odds. As lucky as we are, I'd really like our chances at the #7 spot, 7.5% for the #1 overall and 32% top 4.
That said, of course I would feel bad seeing another loss. But the better draft odds are a nice consolation and this team still has too many holes.

On the positive side, I think these rotations are better. If you're going to go small ball, at least do it with both Sochan and Barnes on the court, the only thing resembling size we've got. Still don't understand why we should have ANY minutes without one of Fox or CP3 on the floor though.

No, this one can't be helped, look at their lineup that finished the quarter.
Wagner, WCJ, Isaac, Da Silva and Back. We can't match that no matter what.

I’m curious to see if Vassel looks better the remainder of this year with Fox. Hope so.

What's the point of having Fox if we're basically just having him run the same sets as 40yo CP3
I'll keep saying it...shit coaching

Devin playing better at least.
mudyez
02-08-2025, 07:55 PM
He only had 1 block against ATL.
I meant that he had at least one 3 and one block. (And on Wednesday he had 1+1)
Kawhi Duncan
02-08-2025, 07:55 PM
Howcome we go from games with Wemby being involved to build the offense to games where he's ignored??
Is this Mitch trying to please Devin?
Shit coaching

For now Fox is a good addition to Devin
Not so much to Wemby...

This magic coach is getting shitcanned at the end of this season if the Magic don’t get past the first round. I know Franz and Paolo have missed heaps of games but their offense has been trash for the last 3 years always in the bottom 10 in the league.
You can only get by on gritty defense for so long especially with two lottery picks who are top 30 players and a rising payroll.

Great first half from Dev.
Subpar first half from Fox (aside from finding Barnes in the 1st Q)
Sochan looks like he'd rather be somewhere else
LeBowen

They have the roster with the least playmaking in the league and their front office did nothing about it.

Vassell and Barnes were great. Defense needs to be better
spursistan
02-08-2025, 08:06 PM
At some point folks need to admit: Wemby loves chucking garbage shots more than grabbing rebounds. There is a reason he went for Jamal Crawfard for his summer training camp. This is who he is and it fuckin sucks.
How was Vassell not subbed in at the end of the quarter? Mitch's lineups literally make no sense
BackHome
02-08-2025, 08:07 PM
Well one thing is for sure both teams are putting up a shit of bricks
They have the roster with the least playmaking in the league and their front office did nothing about it.
But they play good defense and Banchero is still on rookie deal.

Does Fox actually do anything?
LeBowen

Then why would you write that Mosley is gone? He's doing a very good job considering their flawed roster and all the injuries.

Looks like that "soft & lazy" thread of mine is going to be a constant bump material. This is who he is in terms of style of play. He might never shoot over 50% or average over 11rbs as a 7'5 big :lol

I don't mind him shooting threes although he should look for the guy who is shooting 6/7 but the lack of effort in rebounding is annoying
TheBallsbreakers
02-08-2025, 08:15 PM
Fox better play better this 2nd half. He's been ineffective in the first.
Then why would you write that Mosley is gone? He's doing a very good job considering their flawed roster and all the injuries.
I assume, they will have like expectations soonish, and Mosley as developmental coach wont fullfil and then he is out.

21 years old. Don't get ahead of yourself in your sissy pants.
Re: Wemby, the coaching staff is too stupid or scared to coach him into doing more traditional big man stuff. He should be relying on one go-to move that's HIS - contested 3s ain't it. I still think the mid-range jumper is his best bet

Fox is having a bad game, but there's also no reason to have him be the guy who just runs to the corner while CP3 runs point. If that's the gameplan, put in Castle or Champ and then alternate CP3/Fox minutes.

Agree. CP3 not good on defense and offense
At some point these CP3 and Fox backcourt lineups should meet their half life... the sample size is small and stats so far are not reflective (& advanced stats) and it doesnt help that the team is still trying to acclimate Fox but holy shit, it feels redundant having both out there together this often.
TheBallsbreakers

Wait, they're getting killed on the boards right now, Sochan at center and Wemby on the bench.
But fuck, Wemby is too lazy and it's all his fault!!!

Giving the man his due, Keldon has responded well this half. Defense and rebounding still aren't great... but his role is to score off the bench, and he's coming through here in the second.

Non Wemby minutes does not fall off as much with this switching defense and pace. Is it good or bad coaching.
