Keep Wesley

Can't win many more if they want to stay ahead of Portland
Just need to lose in Portland and we're good.
Castle's shooting seems to be regressing back to his early-season form down the back stretch of the season. At this point the season needs to just end before he s around and gives away his ROY tbh (unlikely I know but still).
sake.
Now we need Blazers to win again to keep that 2 game lead in the win column. You know the Spurs are too stupid to lose the last game against the Raptors and they’ll probably beat the blazers which would put them level on wins.
Luckily blazers have some easy games coming up and are still in contention for the last playin spot.
yea dumb win...especially if there is a slight chance raptors can pass us in the standings so we can
get to 7th.

There's like 8 games left. Not happening.
Portland may be out of the play in by then and they are good at tanking.
fells like early in the 3rd they didnt count 1 of castle's assist to Mamu
Mamu is something else
Should have been playing more earlier in the season but I guess we had to showcase Zach Collins' dumb ass and Chicago took the bait
Chicago was going to take whatever player we gave them so they could get the lottery protections removed from their pick.
Man, the more I look at it, what were the Spurs thinking winning this game. I wanted them to play hard and all that, but these last 10 or so games, a bit more strategy would have been nice. Spurs had a decent shot of catching the Raptors for 7th before winning this one.
They've also screwed the Nuggets over who could now lose homecourt advantage in round one. I would have thought the Spurs respect the Nuggets over teams like the Lakers to try and help them get a higher seed.
It's not always as easy as being like "okay team, let's make sure to lose this game!" Players play to win.
Many of these guys are playing for their next contract or to audition for other teams, especially guys like Champ, Mamu, Biyombo, Wesley, Branham...they are trying to prove they belong in the league because they got no guarantees that the Spurs will be keeping them around. They are playing to keep their own career alive, they don't care if we drop some percentage points in the lottery.
Couple that with the fact that the Nuggets put out a GLeague team being led by Westbrick, and yeah...what should have been a scheduled L turned into a W. It's more surprising for the Nuggets because they are still angling for playoff position and they sat ALL FIVE of their starters.
Sucks for our draft odds, but again...no coach is going to tell their players to go out and try to lose games, nor should they. Our rotations were whack, we played Jordan McLuaghlin 17 minutes and still managed to win.

It’s nice to see them win every now and then. I wish Castle got that triple-double that probably sealed that DPOY. 6 games to go. I’ll give them 2-4 maybe 1-5. That game against POR is a must loss. That last gave vs TOR can be a loss too with TOR way ahead on a losing column that a win would be non-bearing.
