Game Thread: Spurs @ SONS Oct 31ST - HAPPY HOLLOWEEN - (4 AM Riga Time)

[RC_Drunkford]

Love to see Wemby getting schooled out there. Even Josh Okogie is cooking him

[MannyIsGod]

Literally zero action so far meant to get wemby the ball in a position to shoot inside the arc.

[Death In June]

This is unwatchable. Don’t know how this team is worse than last years group.

[Cabrito]

When is the last time the spurs went on a run? The Houston OT?

[DAF86]

No kidding. People here balked at the idea but I would kill to have CP3 running PnRs with Victor. Tre Jones looks like prime CP3 compared to the other creators on this team

What's the point? Pop would have Collins or Bassey setting the screens while Wemby watches on the weak side, hoping the ball gets to him to jack a three.

[spurraider21]

nobody respects sochan's penetration so it doesnt collapse the defense and he just has to give the ball up to a stagnant teammate after killing half the shot clock

[Seventyniner]

I remember seeing some stats on the Spurs during the Beautiful Game era, but even as recently as 2020-2021, showing that they would be among the league leaders in team passes per game.

It feels like they're passing it far, far less than those teams. Anyone know where I can look up that stat? I can't find it on NBA.com or bkref.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Im giving pop the benefit of the doubt…

sure, everyone is losing their minds because they want to see the spurs play TRADITIONAL ball and i get it…
but pop is looking ahead and he already committed to allowing wemby to freelance and study him and see what he does and what makes him comfortable - FIRST

and then after 10-20-30 games pop will have ideas about what is possible in this new age style with the nba’s unicorn

or

worst case scenario- IT FAILS

and pop can then have a youngster who realizes he needs the coaches help and is ready for a traditional system instead of just freelancing

but geez you guys are nervous whiny wrecks- just chill

it will be awesome if it ends up working

Ur giving Pop WAAAAAY too much credit... I know a bad coach when I see one... I used to advocate for Pop, but the post-duncan years have been telling

[Rubberducky]

Just like game5 against the knicks

[Joseph Kony]

Sochan blows

[spurs10]

Literally zero action so far meant to get wemby the ball in a position to shoot inside the arc.

They aren't running plays for him.

[BatManu20]

Jesus Christ Zollins.

[Kawhi Duncan]

Not running plays for Wemby is insane

[SpursFan86]

Our defensive rotations just seem so off. Every damn possession results in a wide open Phoenix three or clear layup.

[td4mvp2k]

collins you pos

[spurs10]

Getting within striking distance.

[rascal]

Is Collins the weakest starting center in the league?

[spurs10]

Taking care of the ball.

[spurraider21]

zach collins is 17 of 24 on 2pt FGA this season

[freetiago]

Sochan 4 fouls so Poop forced to put in Johnson early and Spurs go on a run

[spurraider21]

its already the second time im saying it this season, but Branham's point of attack defense looks significantly better this year

[Kawhi Duncan]

some of our players seem to have some weird vibes with Wemby... Even on his dunk, none of his teammates on the court reacted

[ace3g]

Spurs can make runs when they don't turnover the ball.

3 point defense still terrible.

[tim_duncan_fan]

it, play through KJ constantly.

We actually have to be running a real offense first

I get that, and I agree, but theoretically, where does he want to operate? Where is his best spot on the court?

[spurraider21]

cant double one pass away from a 3 point shooter. this is high school level mistakes
