Game Thread: Trailblazers @ Spurs 7PM CST - Nov. 7, 2024

[Raven]

and again, they play the pgs at the same time, and all goes to

[LeBowen]

Time for a two for one trade, Tre + Keldon (Collins) for someone.

I've been saying that for a while.
Tre is redundant and on an expiring deal.
Wesley can fill as a third stringer when CP3 sits.

Sucks to be a Blazers fan, both Scoot and Clingan look disappointing. Clingan looked so slow out there.

[poopbox]

Keldon brick almost killed one of the blazers

[John B]

I think Wemby chose not to force it seeing the team playing well, which is good.

[Pauleta14]

Castle is the only bright side if this season so far

[skin27]

Dude is averaging better than last year except 3pt percentage. Look it up.

nah.. he’s averging less so far this season beside freethrow shooting.

[LeBowen]

Crisis (somewhat) averted.

14/3/6 with 0 turnovers for Castle.
Just needs one of those 3pt attempts to fall.

[skin27]

Kj stole the spotlight from wemby tonight. Good win though

[jesterbobman]

Wemby clearly hasn't been as dynamic, and it seems like he's too in love with his shooting from three. Early season, so not sure if he's just in a slump and he's been better in practice, but it looks more hitchy from three.
Always seems like he's better getting the ball in the mid post and attacking, (e.g off the elbow screens that Barnes set a few times). Hope he moves more in to start attacking from those areas when the shooting around him improves.

Does reinforce in general that he hasn't yet taken the leap yet, and the Spurs might have been smart in not rushing to go all in this year.

Good win though. Stephon Castle.

Dude look up Wemby thread. Somebody posted in there.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Good win.

Needed one of those Castle 3s to go in, but otherwise, more than solid.

I stan Blake Wesley.

[Mugen]

Nice game from Steph, hope he can build on it.

[John B]

A+ game for Castle. The kid is really poised. He doesn’t look or act like a rookie out there, making good decisions.

Likewise Wesley with good vision out there. Nice win tonight. Don’t care if against scrub. A win’s a win.

[spurraider21]

Idk which is more broken Vic’s shot or his stamina

His spirit, or his body?

[timtonymanu]

I wasn’t even worried about Castle. Dude will be a legit player. Glad he’s getting these reps.

[John B]

The better the team gets, I think the scoring will be more spread out, people finding better shots, more structured. Last year was like a whole season of pickup games. The Big 3 didn’t score as much because of the egalitarian system. I think Wemby will have his blocks, rebounds and occasional triple-doubles or even 5x5, but his scoring will not be like KD or LeBron.

this not good for wemby individual accolades

[John B]

this not good for wemby individual accolades

Individual accolades is not really what Spurs about though. Dude we had the Big 3 all hofers who could’ve averaged higher playing elsewhere but instead chose to ring 4 and 5.

Also I think it’s better for Wemby’s longevity especially his body structure to be in an egalitarian system, not getting pounded every night. Our Big 3 had 16-19 year careers!

[cutewizard]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssss

[cutewizard]

[Mr. Body]

Refs kind of sucked.

Steph wasn't credited with a block but he stuffed a guy at the rim.

sorry but im not a solid spurs fan anymore. I am more of a wemby fan.i want him to exceed the expectations on him like winning multiple championships, atleast 4 MVP’s, atleast 15 all NBA teams and all nba defensive team,DPOY, 15 allstar selections,etc.. i like him to contend on that GOAT debate.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are one win away on Saturday vs a terrible UTA team from being a .500 team. Wild given the offense and Wemby’s level of play and no Dev

[scott]

Couldn't watch this one because I was on a flight that originated from Seattle and apparently Blazers games get blacked out on League Pass there

Will have to watch the Full Game recap but sounds like Wemby looked bad again. Really quite concerning. This is why I didn't want to just go tank mode for his first few seasons... his development would be greatly aided by some good professionals around him. Cedi Osman, Grandpa CP3 and Harry Barnes don't really cut it.

DRob had TC. Timmy had DRob. Tony and Manu had Timmy. Neph had Tony and Manu and Timmy... Wemby has... Zach Collins?
