Champ is a re .
Adding 2 high IQ players to a low IQ team doesn't make it a higher IQ team.
Just a low IQ team +2 high ones.
And the fact that he's on a cheap deal isn't a valid argument to value a player.
Vassell, Johnson and Champagnie better be on a #BEAMTEAM promotional poster outside Golden 1 Center by February 7th.
Why was Castle not in the game in the 4th the
In theory this is the kind of game that these guys can really learn from. We’ll see if they do.
The Champagne giveth and The Champagne taketh...
Yeah, go on and blame the guy on a minimum contract over two other 3pt shooting wings earning 20 million each who didn't close the game out because minimum contract guy has been outplaying them all season long.
Also… OKC has PHI’s pick, protected 1-6, because of course they do. Philly gonna be just good enough to deliver another #11 pick to OKC.
legit hate Paul George.
yes it is an argument as we cannot fill the team with high contracts. The Spurs need another star to complement Wemby. If that star takes a max and Wemby will get a max too; you need to have players with small contracts and for 4 million you won't get much better than Champagnie. He made some mistakes tonight but he kept us in the game
You’re being way too kind to the guy making closer to $30MM…
42 minutes combined for Keldon and Barnes, 4/2/2 statline with horrible defense and 0-9 from 3pt.
But let's blame the minimum contract guy who enabled the comeback in the first place.
That stepback 3pt was the last straw for me.
He's a tank commander, nothing more.
18 TO vs 9 TO is probably the game stat
Tough, ugly 90's style ballgame. Still a lot of growing and toughening up for this team. Hate to say it, but, trading for a star/superstar now doesn't help them grow up.
That was just a stupid lost. Sorry but dumb Champ. He’s hearing this one from CP3Need to always have his head on the game, no lazy pass.
Champagnie is a role player and he played well overall. Can't expect this guy to be a star who will carry the team.
We can’t have Sochan and Castle on the court because of shooting. Johnson chose to go with Sochan, but Castle was playing better tonight.
Yeah, he has done this enough times that I feel like he should know better, but I still like what he contributes.
Exactly. If we had a good SF, Champagnie would not close the games but Barnes and Keldon played pretty badly tonight.
Spurs need a second all star player. Need at least two all stars in this league.
At that stage of the game (when we were within 1 either way), I would have rolled with CP3-Castle-Champ-Sochan-Wemby. The need for 3pt shooter was diminished and the defensive presence is what was needed. There aren’t many situations where Castle and Sochan make sense… but I think this was one of them.
Also, "anyone can bring the ball up" bull needs to stop, especially in the clutch.
Not gonna blame this one on Champ. The two turnovers were obviously atrocious, but we're not in that game without him. Also Paul being your only ballhandler on the floor in that moment and being visibly gassed, and Champ getting it in the backcourt while your #4 pick rides the pine. I'm gonna need Castle to get out of the doghouse ASAP after that.
I really don't like it when Devin goes into hero ball mode.
