Grades: Spurs vs. Trail Blazers - Nov. 7, 2024

2 of our early wins last year were b2b against phoenix

And then we lost 18 in a row. I’ll take more wins against worse teams. Phoenix wound up being absolutely ty in the playoffs, anyway.

This is exactly what I wanted to point out.

Last year, Spurs got their 4th win after 24 games and after a 18 games losing streak. Schedule might have been a little easier this year but it's also that the team is way more solid than last year. Spurs can get some wins even when they aren't firing on all cylinders (Wembanyama struggling and injuries).

Yea I am predicting Spurs in playoffs. Tough to do in West but achievable

We got 4 wins! Earlier than where we were last year .

Can’t put too much into this cause the Blazers suck worse than us but a win’s a win.

It was nice to get the 4th win before losing 18 in a row this time.

Double-teaming isn't necessarily a bad thing...Wemby just needs to get better at passing out of those situations and finding the open man instead of trying to do it all himself. And for god's sake, stop trying to dribble there.

Agree with everything you said. He can learn to get out of doubles, but teams being able to swarm him because his stupid teammates are standing around is no bueno.

Bruh, spotting up when a player is getting double teamed is what should be going on.

I wasn't standing around, coach, I was spotting up. We were all just waiting on that kick-out.

Yeah, when someone is double teamed you want to punish the man leaving with kick-outs.

No, Sochan showed us what should be going on. Nonshooters, especially, need to be diving to the hoop.

they were magical, tbh.

A little of both can apply.

We can't just go full 4-Down because that is too predictable for today's NBA. But for the most part, guys spacing around him with a good cut here or there SHOULD be enough to keep the defense honest and give Wemby room to work.

It doesn't help that our guys are terrible shooters, so teams are able to sink into the paint without much fear of being burned.

Let's have the double team coming from any of four places at any given time because nobody is cutting or back screening or ... moving. All Victor's fault.
