Game Thread: Spurs @ Celtics - Wed. 2/12/2025 -- 6:00pm CST (2:00am RIGA; 2:00pm Hawaii)

CP3 with 28 minutes and 5 points, Castle 20 minutes with 18 points

damn shame

[Gibbz]

FRP Blake Wesley barely draws iron on an uncontested 3 to end it for good measure.

[Knoxxx]

Wemby is strong enough...he just isn't aggressive enough, nor does he know how to roll...he always comes off rolls not looking to open himself up to receiving the ball

He’s been knocked out of games mentally and physically after the first couple love taps from the other team.

[Kawhi Duncan]

I'm amazed at your ability to blame Wemby EVERY single game.

I come from an era where you blame the best players on the team because they have the most impact in winning and losing...LeBron have yall blaming roleplayers for wins and losses...it's called holding ur best player accountable...coddling him and treating him like a princess that can do no wrong IS part of the issue

[Frenchfred]

His weight has been noted since the beginning of the season...it's not like I pulled it out my ass

And on ESPN, they say that he is 235. For a 7'4 guy, that's pretty light. Duncan was 250 for 6'11 at the same age. I'm pretty sure that Wemby would have less issues at 250-260 but he clearly needs to learn how to post up

[TheBallsbreakers]

Status has 10 more shots than his next closest teammate...that's how you treat a star....wemby is just another guy...he gets the ball whenever someone else decides he should shoot instead of dominating the ball and forcing his imprint on the game like a star should...coaching issue and if this continues, Wemby will simply be a great defensive center who can hit the occasional 3...basically Porzingis instead of a potential top 5 player of all time

Acting like this is the final product is asinine. Growing pains, keed.

[Kawhi Duncan]

I agree...that's not a strength issue...it's a soft issue...u can be strong enough and soft...he is bigger and stronger than Gred Van Vleet and I've seen Fred punk him out of the post

You're surely making him accountable now. Way to show him, hoss!

[baseline bum]

I miss Derrick White.

But hey, at least we aren't the Mavericks right now

I'm starting to miss Brynn Forbes. Vassell is like Forbes minus the ability to hit the open three.

[Knoxxx]

This is worse than a 40pts blowout.
Felt like Celtics were at 30% and played with bare minimum effort even without two starters.

Most boring game I didnt see! Everyone in the country but BOS fans experienced a huge let down tonight. Waste of a national TV spot.

Edit: even most BOS fans probably thought this was a stinker.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Acting like this is the final product is asinine. Growing pains, keed.

Acting like you can't ruin a players career with poor coaching is insane...I'm watching wemby in real time go backwards...he is making mistakes that someone who is coached shouldn't make...he STILL doesn't know how to box out...that has nothing to do with being a finished product

[Frenchfred]

but look at your comments in this feed, they are ALL about Wemby when 58 millions (Vassel, Johnson and CP3) don't contribute sh!t. Wemby is a star but he is in his second year and is still learning. He is not perfect but has improved compared to last year. The team is clearly missing pieces and is badly coached.

[Blizzardwizard]

"'We're a family here. We're gonna keep pounding the rock,' said GM Brian Wright on San Antonio finishing the season with fewer wins than a franchise whose best player is Anfernee Simons."

[Mugen]

If Victor doesn't like losing maybe he should get his ass in the paint when the other team puts a ing guard on him

Nah....(chucks 35 footer with Pritchard guarding him)

[Kawhi Duncan]

Whether he is 235 or 245 (which multiple places stated at the beginning of the season) isn't the issue...he is constantly guarded by wings he can EASILY overpower but he doesn't...he has the strength to do it, just not the mentality...and if he isn't coached right, he never will...when you coddle and coach a player to accept being soft, u end up with Embiid...definitely talented, but soft mentally

[Kawhi Duncan]

I keep telling ppl this and they keep talking to me as if he is guarded by prime shaq

[Dod01]

Mitch Johnson had us fooled there for a bit. Coaching staff needs a complete overhaul. Great coaches are not exactly easy to find.

You seem to get too worked up over a kid having a less-than ideal stretch at 21.
You've been raving all over worried about Wemby like a desert dweller wearing sackcloth.
Perhaps find a girl, or a boy, to fixate on.

[Knoxxx]

Wow I half watched the 3rd quarter and we were down 10 most the time and it felt like 40. Probably due to Wemby being lame, but as mentioned multiple other players also shat the bed and Mitch as usual doesn’t help alleviate
more likely exacerbates.

Just ignore him.
ting on Wemby during games is literally the only thing he does, he never posts about anything else.

We agree that he is badly coached. You want him to play a game, which is not his. He is not a post up player, he can learn it and should but he clearly has not shown that he knows how to do it. So, you can complain every game and on every comment, he is not going to magically know how to play like real center.

I hate that Victor is playing Eurobasket this summer when he needs to go to Houston for a week and train with Hakeem.

[spurraider21]

Fox being +1 in his 39 minutes is a wild stat

Its hard to accept watching all world Wemby, now road trip Wemby. Jekyl and Hyde. Regardless of losing, when Wemby was doing Wemby stuff the Spurs are light years funner to watch.

What makes you think he is stronger than Van Vleet? And bigger is pretty relative. If Vic is like 200 pounds, that means a lot less than 200 pounds in practice at a height of 7'3
