Why has timvp abandoned us?
Why has timvp abandoned us?
One thing I was expecting with the arrival of CP3 is a reduced number of assists per game for Victor but as it turns out, his numbers are almost the same than last year and he is now 6 apg the last 5 games.

Just wait until he explains how Devin took bad shots and still doesn't understand how to play the right way.
It would be nice if we had a game where we controlled it from start to finish. These comebacks have been great entertainment but hopefully we start starting games and 2nd halves with more urgency and focus.
-This has easily been Steph’s worst game. Largely to be expected that he will have bad games here and there of course.
-Wemby’s passing is really one of his most underrated skills so far. If he can just trim down on some of those lazy cross court passes from the post, he’ll see his TOs drop more.
-Mitch Johnson has been up and down but I think we can all agree that it has been more up than down. The most encouraging thing is Wemby’s’ minutes which have been in the mid 30’s which is where they should be. Big credit to Vic as well for being this “conditioned” already this early in the season. Last year it took him more than half or 3/4th into the season where it didn’t look like he was out of breath in the 4th.
-Vassell is continuing to show why he has the potential to be a #2 option. What a tough shot maker tbh. He can be the Khris to Wemby’s Giannis. Unfortunately, his health is a major concern obviously which will bring on some tough conversations when teams start calling and asking for him as part of a package. Would you pull the trigger as BWright? Tough spot tbh.
-Champ has been unbelievable. As I said in the GT, I’ll gladly eat crow if this dude gets consistent for the season.
His TS% after last night sits at 65%. That’s elite. Kevin Durant is currently at 65%.
I thought Tre jones changed the game as soon as he entered...the spurs were mostly sleepwalking and on the verge of getting blown out but tre's energy and craftiness changed the game....
of course he gets injured....
Bassey is a one step forward - three steps back -kind of player who needs to harden the up-mentally because his career is not going to thrive if he cannot play with the same intensity he displayed in last weeks breakout game...
If zollins is the guy ahead of you and you are not forcing the coach to have to give you more minutes you are not seizing the moment.
But according to KobesAchilles, he doesn't know how to actually play basketball the right way.
Last night's game has shown us we really need a reliable backup big.
Bassey can be nice in some situations, but we can't rely on him or Collins if we're to stay above .500.
I honestly think that upgrading to a solid backup big and having everyone healthy would be enough to make the play-in with ease.
Nice win and write-up!
No way we win this game with lat year's team. To win with 1 starter playing horribly is a true sign of growth.
I agree that we need a strong backup center. Either of the 2 V's could be useful. I think that Wemby could share the floor with a better center in spot minutes.
KJ's running hook bank shot is starting to be a nice weapon.
Once Sochan returns, our bench is pretty legit.
After 20 games, Spurs are 11-9 with their starting lineup featuring:
- Castle and Wembanyama: two 20 years old players.
- Paul: a 39 years old player who was washed up for a lot of people (including myself tbqh).
- Barnes: a solid vet whose previous team had to give up a first round pick swap just to get rid of his contract.
- Champagnie: undrafted player claimed from waivers.
And they are led by a rookie coach...
Spurs are doing damn well despite having a quite unconventional team.
So you think Sochan needs to play off the bench? I actually agree as Barnes have been playing great (except last night). Likewise Champ. I don’t know the SL when everybody’s back from minutes restrictions though.
looks like the ceiling for this team is much higher than just the 10th seed. I actually think we might be able to get the 6th/7th seed
It took a heroic triple-double from Wemby and 50% shooting from the 3pt to barely won against a sub-500 team. Hold your horses.
We're playing in a strong conference, second best player from last season and one more starter have been non-factors because of injuries. Best point guard from last season has also been injured and yet we're over .500 despite also losing our coach.
Could it have been better? Obviously, but every team loses games they shouldn't, let alone one of the youngest teams in the league.
Considering how many teams that were supposed to be on pace for 50+ wins are struggling, we're in a great spot. We just need to get healthy.
Indeed. What I like about this team is that playing with two veterans has helped the talent that are worth keeping in the team to develop further and become worthy contributors. I mean, Wemby was always going to be great, but he has added a bit more oomph in his passing, has become more versatile on offense and seems to play with a higher IQ. While Castle has been a revelation as a rookie despite his flaws. Heck, even Sochan was better before getting injured.
And how many Eastern Conference team the Spurs had played?
Spurs are really to feast soon!
Spurs are trending up. I like Wemby getting more patient and reading plays better, especially with how he was passing last night. I like Castle a lot, obviously he had a rookie moment last night. Spurs couldn’t have gotten better veteran presence than CP3 and Barnes. Champ is becoming a Danny Green-like piece and can compete for that Starting position. I like every piece even Branham streaky shooting (hopefully a more deadlier Gary Neal) and Wesley’s defense, even Sochan’s bad-boy image that could be Spurs defensive face. But I just wish that Collins/Bassey can be more bullish. Those guys need to hit gym together, take Muay Thai or something and learn to become enforcers.
Half of the EC teams are tanking. They have 10-11 Hawks at 7th. I think you got the hemispheres reversedAnd how many Eastern Conference team the Spurs had played?
Spurs are really to feast soon!
He's saying that the Eastern conference is gonna be free wins for the spurs.
Funny I read that “feast on” instead
Bassey really missed an opportunity last night. Only thing that helped him was that Collins continued to looks really rough too.
This starting lineup should stay the same.Wemby has been looking like a mvp with this unit.You dont fck that up.
After the Suns game, the Spurs will have 5 games home stand against sub.500 teams. They could be in 6th seed by Christmas
Not what I meant, exactly. One of Castle, Champagne, or, most likely, Barnes goes to the bench eventually. A bench of Jones, Vassell, KJ, and one of the aforementioned would be pretty legit.
If/when Vassell starts, our bench gets another strong piece. One serviceable center and we are looking play-in bound, at least.
