move of the game is not playing Keldon.

Vassell should be coming off the bench EXCLUSIVELY until he proves he can play a stretch of 20 games without missing more than SEGABABAs.

Until then inserting him into the SL is just asking to disrupt cohesion.

Roll with Wemby-Barnes-Champ-Castle-CP3.

Eh, we should see if it improves with Vassal instead of Champagne.

See if that happens through normal rotations for about 20 games of Vassell coming off the bench, or if the current SL starts to regress to the mean. But don't go fixing things that aren't broke right out of the gates. Especially with a guy who struggles to stay healthy.

Vassell should be coming off the bench going forward just to hopefully preserve his health tbh.

Agree

But good Sir, will Devin be happy coming off the bench?

He's the highest paid player on the roster so he better be. If not ship him out tbh.

It actually when they they started going inside. Of course Vic and Castle 3’s were both daggers.

I didn’t like it earlier when they kept looking for 3’s. Somebody said, it’s what the defenders were giving them. Not true. I feel there wasn’t enough cutting in the 2st half and settling for 3’s. Still the defending champions shoot a ton of 3’s. Just ugly though but it’s modern NBA.

I hope the Spurs players recognize this as well. At least from the post-game comments, Wemby did. Indeed it was just painful to watch because they kept on chucking despite not hitting anything for most stretches of the game.

[Fireball]

Yeah that would be great. Those five games a year when Lavine and Vassell play together would be sick.

My thoughts as well

[mikec]

i appreciate the roses, i'm glad y'all can finally see things the way i posted about before the season started.

but to all you mongoloids who ever disagreed with me: i'm surprised you know what a keyboard is.

Mongoloid he was a Mongoloid! one.......

Holy . I didn't even notice that.

I hope Bassey has done enough to at least warrant time in certain matchups (as some have already proposed) even with Wemby back in the lineup.
I hope you’re right about Vassell.
He seems to take these awkward landings regularly after certain drives to the basket, often getting caught in the air while trying to make a pass/draw a foul.
Unfortunately his body seems ill-equipped to do this consistently.

Hopefully that’s the case seeing how it’s the same knee he had surgery on in 2023. Also Vassell has been on the injury report as knee soreness while Wemby was on the injury report for a knee contusion so Idk.

Where did you hear/read that? From the outside looking in, it doesn't seem like the same injury, but I could be wrong.




Awesome. Hopefully Victor can help CP3 get a win against his former team. Hopefully it's a great game for the Spurs and a win.

yeah his defense is not made for a team that is moving and cutting like the Warriors

[Mugen]

Champ had a great block on Buddy Hield deep in the 4th.

If Keldon was healthy, Champ is on the bench and Hield hits a wide open 3 in that situation tbh

They've had one of the harder schedules in the NBA and have only played an EC team once.

It's not a hard schedule when you have almost twice as many home games. The home /away record splits in the NBA are huge.

Two of their first three games were BOTH of last year’s Western Conference Finalists, ON THE ROAD. It can in no way be considered an easy schedule so far, especially with only one EC team played.

[Fireball]

Wemby has yet to have a good shooting night from three on the road, does he not? But man, I can't believe we have to play the Jazz again next. This is boring ... I want something different
