Game Thread: Spurs @ Hawks -- Wed. 2/5/2025 - 6:00pm CST (2:00am RIGA) - De'Aaron Fox's Debut!!

[Kevin]

He's a role player and he plays like it. He hustles, he dives on the floor, he makes quick decisions with the ball and he gives his all on both ends. What more do yall want from him? Shooting? He can't do that.

I don’t mind Sochan on a rookie deal but the moment the Spurs pay 20M a season is when I tap out. Trade him while his value is the highest on a rookie deal.

[ffadicted]

Just checking stats, Fox and Paul with a combined 22 assists, what a sight to see.
Long way from the days of Jeremy running point lol

I would seriously consider moving that if things don't get better. We can't handicap ourselves because of ing allergies to our franchise player, tbh.

Cut the San Antonio cedars down. Wipe them out. All of them.

Would, tbh.

[heyheymymy]

Never had allergies living in a few different regions of the US but when I lived in San Antonio Cedar fever would hit me hard.

Yeah i will riot if that somehow play a role in Wemby entertaining the thought of leaving the SPURS . I would rather play a 5-game homestand in France than having Wemby struggle with this allergy every January. Glad they are off on the rodeo trip for the next 3 weeks..

The whole city should volunteer to cut every ing one of them down in the Hill Country. I would 100% join in.

[Atl Spur]

Yo, that was a crazy game!! I met Devin & Castle tonight.. real good people and super respectful ( we actually chopped it up a little bit ). Seeing fox in real life has me convinced the Spurs should be charged with something for how they obtained him.... Sochan better pick it up too.

The side of town can really make a difference. I live on the NE side and I get nasty congestion in peak season but when I go visit family on the NW side of town in cedar season the makes me cry too, such an irritant to the eyes.

[SpursGenius]

He's good. Keldon is the one that needs to go.

This Sochan did ok Vassell as well. Keldon is garbage

[jehawk81]

Of all things it's these ing juniper trees that I fear could be the thing to drive Wemby out of San Antonio.

Did Wemby go through this last year as well?

[rascal]

Sochan, Keldon, and Vassell are low IQ guys and should be expendable.

Our offense looks in shambles whenever anyone of them get the ball. It's been this way since last year.

They are the tank commanders. They were the major players during the tank years to just play poorly and the front office didn't care, nothing was done about it. Bad habits still persist with the tank commanders.

[DAF86]

Did Wemby go through this last year as well?

I think I recall something, yeah.

Fox 13 assists, 1 TO, epic

Vassell quietly had a good game as well, at least overall. 20 points, 4 steals, 4 assists on 1 TO. 9/18 shooting, +5. If only he had nailed a couple more open 3's I'd say he's finally in the role he was meant. 1 game in, he's right on track to be that #3, at least on a playin team

All he has to do is get an allergy shot once a week for a year or year an a half to build up a desensitization to the pollen and it won't bother him anymore.

Why is Vassell always leaning sideways whenever taking a wide open 3? I feel he could be a 40% 3pt shooter if he would just jump straight up.

Vassell isn't too bad. He can't be relived upon as a number 2 scorer on the team but he's ok as a number 3/4 offensive player on certain nights when his shots are falling.

If Spurs can get lucky one last time to land another top 4 pick they can get their number 3 scorer and with Castle and Vassell the spurs would have enough offensive fire power, as good as any team in the league.

[z0sa]

The more I watch him, the more I believe he truly does believe he has Kobe's fallaways and in his arsenal, even when he's wide open he wants to use those types of shots. I'm thinking it's a mental thing from being forced into a #2 scorer spot he's clearly not capable of achieving -- hopefully he just starts letting loose now that we've got Fox.

[itzsoweezee]

Good game, other than a terrible third quarter. Wemby’s obviously still recovering from his illness, but he was still active and effective on the offensive end.

We can’t have any more Sochan, Castle, Keldon lineups. One of Paul, Fox, or Wemby needs to be on the court at all times.

[Gandalf]

They actually consume a huge amount of water too. I’ve heard of people cutting them down on their property, and springs start popping up and overflowing afterward.

They really have no redeeming value. If the environmentalists get offended, they’re welcome to plant an oak or something for each one that’s cut down.

30-page game thread in freakin' February...Peak Duncan era stuff. Feels good to be relevant again

pistons tankathon 2OT thriller a couple years ago also went wild. pre-wemby era too!

Took me 3-4 years of allergy shots but they did work.

[ismael-robert]

They can afford sublingual drops safer than shots

Hopefully so. It is pretty obvious that the allergy has played a part in Wemby having a down month in January.

Didn't Wemby have a great January last season?
