    Bring y’all’s dumbass’ to the thread and make the ing case that we don’t need a PG for Wemby. I want to hear this . Bc all offseason, I’ve been preaching we need a PG. we need a guy who can set up easy buckets for Wemby. A guy who can manipulate defenses and consistently break them down. A guy who can throw a post entry pass or a lob. A guy who recognizes when their tallest player is being guarded by midgets and can get them the ball.

    And in return I’ve heard.
    ”Oh PG isn’t a need. We have plenty of people who can run the offense.”
    ”Sochan can run the offense just fine.”
    ”We will do it by a committee of non PGs”
    ”It’s positionless basketball that we are playing. We will be fine.”
    ”oh it’s Tall Ball.”


    NOOOO. Get a freaking point guard. Set up your boy, make him feel a part of the offense and not a spot up 3 point shooter. And maybe he won’t be playing like a deer in the headlights because he will be relaxed and playing in rhythm. So Mr. body get your dumbass in here. RC you too. Dejounte, tell me all about Tall Ball. All you truthsayers better get in here and preach about how we don’t need a PG for Wemby

    People want Sochan to be the primary ball handler and facilitator. Clearly Tre should have stayed in the game. I don’t necessarily believe we need to leverage ourselves in a trade or crazy move for a PG but we should have finished the game with our best PG on the floor.

    Pop literally lost us this game. Tre Jones was easily the better facilitator. Sochan or KJ need to go to the bench.

    Classic example of Pop out coaching himself. I hope he takes accountability but he fking won’t.

    A backup puts up numbers against backups, and Spurstalk wants to make him the starter.

    Yo, you have no right to call anyone out for being a dumbass for being wrong because your track record for being right is one of the worst one here. You’ve been on this board for how many years now and you still sound like an idiot.

    I pretty much knew people would hone in on point guard duties being the issue because they were excited about Wemby getting all the touches— it’s far from the reason they lost though. Everyone’s god fell into foul trouble and the rest of the ship tried to keep afloat without him and did so admirably. It’s as simple as that. It’s obvious an idiot like KobesAchilles would ignore that simple reason because he’s fixated on one thing only and can’t see with his own two eyes that the team was not itself last night without Wemby… the guy they practically practiced with all offseason in preparation for games like last night and the guy we obviously knew was a gamechanger.

    Go on, Kobes. Shower me with your low IQ basketball rants and get all emotional again like in your first post. Like I said, what a clown to call other people out when you’ve been wrong countless times before.

    Someone who doesn’t pay attention. This year is literally not about winning. It’s a laboratory to see what works and what does not, over the course of a year, not one game.

    My track record is really good tbh. I said to tank. I said we would get Wemby. I said that Sochan being PG wouldn't really work. I said Tre is a back up point guard. I said Kawhi wasn't worth the supermax. I said to draft Vassell. I said it would take several years to make the playoffs again (and it has). I said that we need better assistant coaches. I said that Wemby is better than people here give him credit for and I said that I was worried that he wouldn't be the focal point of the offense when he really should be. I have been so damn right that it's scary.

    And it isn't the foul trouble that was the issue. It was that they couldn't get him easy buckets and get him settled in. He was obviously very anxious due to game one, and we did NOTHING to get him settled in. I don't see how you can look at Luka and his composure and the way they used their rookie to dominate the paint, and get him involved and his confidence up, and look at the way we used Victor and you are happy about it? It makes zero sense. We played how I knew it would work out because Dallas has a player who can slow the tempo and get easy buckets for himself and others.

    When Sochan came onto the court, after our comeback, what plays did the run for Victor, who had an amazing 4th quarter btw. None. Dude is balling out and then gets iced out in closing times? That's bad play. If you don't agree then I guess you can go on being the "genius" and I will continue being the idiot because my stance on that will never change. KJ ignored him multiple times down the stretch. Sochan didn't get him the ball multiple times down the stretch when he is calling for it. No offense of any kind being run. Just drive to the rim like crazy and hope something happens. It's stupid basketball and in winning time, you can't play stupid.

    I can tell you what has worked since the dawn of the NBA and in every era. From Russell to Wilt to Walton and KAJ to Magic and Moses and Bird and Mike and Duncan and Shaq and Lebron and Steph and now Giannis and Joker. Get the ball to your best player down the stretch. Run actual plays for him. Put them in positions to dominate and don't have 5 role players outshoot your only star player. And no it wasn't all because he was in foul trouble. There were plenty of times we could've gotten him the ball and we chose not to or just flat out couldn't.

    The spurs should reboot the entire rebuild and trade everyone for draft picks because we are now 0-1.

    I do agree with that and realize that is the case still frustrating when that was a winnable game.

    Let’s not forget Wemby wants to god damn win immediately. His development is more important than Sochan’s. Pop has a vision and I get what he is doing but I hope this doesn’t backfire.

    we don't need a point guard. We already got 2. We need a backup big since Sochan doesn't play that role anymore.

    The problem was Pop sat Tre in the last minutes when clearly was on fire and playing really well.

    No reason to bring Sochan back because he couldn't defend Luka throughout the game and missed easy shots in the paint.

    A team that has that true facilitator is definitely at an advantage. I'd agree that the Spurs could use more there. If I'm Pop I consider having someone (Sochan) get the ball across mid-court and then handing it off to Wemby to facilitate the offense. If Sochan can be a pseudo point guard, why not Wemby. Just put the ball in his hands on every possession and let him run the show. No more worries about touches.
