i really don't see why keldon or sochan can't run a pick and roll, it's a learnable skill they just have to practice it... we have time
Modric is Croatian
I’m not sure. Have to go back and find a replay. But i remember watching it live and didn’t think it was awful. I think another officiating crew might have made a non call but I’m not sure it was egregious enough to be overturned. I thought the level of contact was unnecessary. Wemby has enough length to give guys some space and block shots anyway.
the foul that was maybe the most annoying was the one on his forearm in post position. But it’s something he has to be careful with
There was contact, but Vic went straight up. Textbook verticality call.
Yeah, the offensive foul was bull , but without that first foul, it wouldn't have been cause to take him off the floor.
My bad, edited
you may be right. i havent seen a replay of either of those since the game, so im just going off my live impression
So am I. I could be wrong. But Pop was pretty free with the challenges in the preseason and didn't use any last night.
Maybe Doncic is Slovenian for "I need Wemby on his 5th foul to win games"
Spurs were like 68-54 in the third quarter. Kinda seems like Spurs were trouncing the Mavs. Go watch, SA was pulling away before some suppression came down. Kinda funny when Wemby was unleashed in the 4th with his 5 fouls he was TORCHING the Mavs and leveled the game up. Wonder what would've happened if he was allowed to play but that would bruise Luka's marketability so can't have that. To be fair, Wemby's gotta be smarter and manage his foul situation, total rookie mistake/exploit.
Lively was bouncing around like a pinball machine, not sure about all his action but hats off to the effort. Does seem like he was allowed to be a bull in a china shop a bit though I don't have many specific qualms other than him going over the back on Zollins but it was a foul on Zollins. Lots of "automatic" and 1s for Luka that were BS. Who was it Kyrie? did the classic Harden jump into defender unnaturally to get contact during jumpshot that I thought the league wasn't calling that anymore?
Wemby struggled with calls on his screens and yeah they technically weren't perfect but you see that as non-calls all the time so I don't appreciate the ing magnifying glass on Wemby last night (esp when it's a blind eye on the other end) when it's his rookie debut you just gotta let em play. Refs put the stranglehold on this game, some absurd level non genuine game feel going on. Refs diddled this game. Waaaaay too much extraneous orchestration, why not just tie one hand behind Wemby's back and suck Luka's some more? Sochan got thrashed on one of those last plays going for a Reb, no call. Williams was manhandling all game with no whistle scrutiny. Was hilarious watching Cubes Pubes celebrating his rig job win like a 12 year old kid.
Some salty media exec or some greedy Vegas oddsmen wielding too much influence over the game. Wemby is going to get the last laugh buster.
That said, KJ had a 3Q cold streak that hurt, Sochan trying too much offensively and not connecting, Zollins whipping up some bad looks from 3PT in the 3rd Q killed SA (0-4 3PM and I think 3 of those were in a short span of the 3rd), pulling Tre for Sochan at 2:00 4Q hurt SA bad. Tre left the game right at 25 min, wonder if there was a mins cap for him specifically at 25 or something because he was a hot hand and it was not a good idea to pull him there unless you are managing some wear and tear and has preset his cap at 25. Other players got more mins so it would have to be some specific rule for Tre who knows maybe he's not in shape yet or dealing with a nag injury? Why pull him there?
Spurstalk early dramatic cliffjumping is always delicious to read through, what a tradition it's turned into.
I take it all the folks ITT saying Sochan is trash and can never be a PG were following a different team through Dejounte's journey from rookie "coudln't dribble if they paid him gold for it" to All-Star PG a few years later with Spurs' development staff? So many comments seem just copy-pasted from that era, it's insane. We just watched this, those who have been following the team at least.
Anyways, nothing majorly problematic was seen last night, which is great. Rookie team, lots of mistakes, crunchtime worries - did anyone expect differently? And to that folk saying Wemby's night was "ruined", uh, he had a great opener, WYM? Every game Wemby gets through without injuries or injury scares in his first few years is a W in my book tbh.
3 missed calls all on same possession
first, collins traveled and they didnt call it. ball went to keldon, he got hacked and didnt get called, then sochan got the rebound and was hacked when he was stripped and went uncalled. if they just called the original travel on collins, the rest wouldnt have happened
