Sochan had a good game, other than that pick pocket he got down the stretch.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby will NOT like losing ROY to Chet... He will feel like the lack of coaching caused him good development and didn't put him in positions to maximize his potential... We can run so much things where wem y gets great shots in his spots... We can play him with actual point guards

[Kawhi Duncan]

this is really a bad team and Victor is really not ready offensively. So much work for this team. Let's hope for a high pick this year with an elite PG and some good vets over the summer.

He actually is... But he isn't being put in great positions to win... The offense isn't built around him... He is basically running around

[Barfunk]

That'd be a step in the right direction at least. Hopefully they can move to a real city where the media can put some pressure on PATFO

Yeah, I don't think the Austin media would be as lenient.

[Robz4000]

Nah, Robz. Everybody can be got, even the old man. They'll can Belichick this offseason and he's been a far superior coach these last 25 years.

Wemby is the chosen one and he knows that if he knifes the old man in the back, he can pick any coach he wants. Pop, RC, Wright...any of those clowns should be shown the door if Wemby decides it.

Pop has done more for the Spurs than Belichick for the Pats imo. Both were carried by GOATs but Pop's coaching tree speaks volumes.

[Chomag]

I Hope most season ticket holders start asking for refunds.... it's the only way to send this FO a message.

[ElNono]

Did they at least put up a fight tonight?

[cd98]

Did they at least put up a fight tonight?

Yes, I think that is why folks are upset. Most teams in the league would not let an 18 point run in the 3/4th quarter erase the lead the Spurs had and then it just became trying to make up points at the end and the Spurs just couldn't get back in it after that. But it was a compe ive game and the Spurs looked good until Collins picked up his 5th foul and then it all went to absolute .

[z0sa]

Comin' along just fine - man, like if the NBA was a thing in 1984. The biggest losers talk like they're doing fine and the biggest winners are doin so, so poorly

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pops a dumb, old, out to pasture coach. Just need someone to go out there and put him down.

[poopbox]

Nah, I saw a crack in the old 's armor tonight. He knows this team has absolutely tuned him out.

Give Wemby another 20-30 games and somebody will be in his ear that maybe grandpa isn't the best coach for him. He'll have enough clout by next offseason to kick Pop to the curb if he wants by August.

If Wembdy does nothing else besides Jerry Sloan that mf'er, they should build a statue for him by '25.

I do think the players have tuned him out. Even the assistant coaches are just in their seats looking like npc's in an indie game doing nothing.

Imagine working for a person who makes themselves one of the highest paid at his position, and then flat out says he is just going to "observe" for X amount of games and not do his job

And this is what, 2 years of Pop pushing this "development" ? Imagine another coach doing that. Imagine another nba coach like nah we not going to win we going to develop this year

Entire organization is a train wreck.

Victor talking about how he always wanted to be a Spur. Wonder what he thinks of it now.

[Jordan Jackson]

Spurs front office always insists on trying to be the smartest fcking kid in the room. It’s not that complicated- the NBA gifted you a generational talent after the nephew debacle. Yet some how you still can’t get your act together and at least look like a functioning basketball team.

Why they thought it was a good idea to field a g-league team when you have Wemby coming in is beyond me. This is not good for his development. And let’s be real - his development is the most important thing.

[ElNono]

Are you talking about the Kings game or this game?

Sounds like deja vu... blow big lead, don't have the D to play catchup, rinse and repeat...

[Brazil]

What a ing joke

when everyone here was begging the team to tank, did you seriously think they would play like the Adelman's Kings?
tank teams play disgustingly
how unexpected wow

[ismael-robert]

How many years were the sixers n thunder bad? Bottom 3 ftw!

[Mal]

Who are they tanking for ?

[TD 21]

Who are they tanking for ?

Exactly and on top of that, they were naturally going to be a bottom feeder anyway.

They've just chosen to inexplicably be one that can't function offensively.

[Barfunk]

100% Agree on all of this. And the tree is not by accident at all.
