Can't believe we're losing to the crime capital of the united states

[AusSpur]

Vassell lost track of the 7-footer he was guarding and let him waltz in for an uncontested dunk. SMH

[TheGreatYacht]

Vassell is one of the worst defenders on this team. Whoever said this dude is a two way player has a seat reserved in

[Mugen]

It's literally Wembanyama and a bunch of scrubs.

Are they 0/8 on first rounders outside of Wemby after Kawhi cucked the outta PATFO?

[onechance87]

vassell standing like a dumbass with no defence

[Chinook]

The defensive effort was good if not great for stretches. You can see how much of this score is the team taking their eye off the ball. From ignoring cutters to not making rotations to falling back into bad habits. The team is always going to have a thin margin of error to win any game, but there's no reason why they go through such long stretches of not even trying.

How's the Sniff Crew been eating this year?

I mean, I have a pretty good idea

[TheBallsbreakers]

Grizz announces ing on that Morant dunk saying "Wemby we haven't met before" like Wemby didn't literally block Morant's first shot attempt.
But they're blowing the Spurs out so yeah

[MultiTroll]

Little dipship Morant thought he was gonna do another cutsie dribble.

Turnover.

[CorrectCrusader]

What in the ever loving is Vassell doing out there on defense?

[John B]

Pop put Wesley back on Ja after he got hot

[objective]

Osman is such a dumbass. Look at his last 8 games, dude brings nothing but traffic cone defending and a three every other game.

It's true, and I've never understood why some Spurs fans would talk him up like he wasn't a scrub or that they hoped he would be re-signed

Osman is a true scrub, a trashcan. HE had many opportunities to play with a team trying to win and desperate for wing play and he was a big scrub. They were desperate to try anyone as an upgrade.

Osman is a scrub and is so lousy that he'll probably get a new multi-year deal from Brian Wrong

[Mugen]

Mamu hit an open 3 in the 1st half and hasn't sniffed the court since

[spurraider21]

[Frenchfred]

Keldon is not the best but he tries every night. Others are really just there to get their paycheck.

[spurraider21]

vince williams and santi aldana against the spurs

[John B]

Defensive face by Champagnie. Does it countvas a block?

[weebo]

Vassell is nothing but a streaky shooter. Just like Johnson.

[Mugen]

It's 2024, how the do you manage to build a team that:
1) Can't shoot
2) Can't defend the 3
3) Doesn't have a single guy that can get his own shot

So f'n bad

[Mugen]

Keldon is not the best but he tries every night. Others are really just there to get their paycheck.

Keldon was for most of this game and only started getting points when the Spurs were already out of it. Just because he's the only guy you can hear out there, doesn't mean he's a positive

[Spurs Brazil]

Wesley really need more minutes

[spurraider21]

Vassell is nothing but a streaky shooter. Just like Johnson.

vassell plays defense. he hasnt really been an impact defender since his rookie year, but he tries on that end. keldon can be comically bad at times

[John B]

Good penetration diss everytime by Wesley

[Robz4000]

Would it surprise anyone if Pop keeps Wemby on a permanent minutes restriction until he leaves the Spurs in a few years tbh?
