They get chip , we got Vic! So……. Can’t do both as it turns out anywayI’ll stay in the keep Vic crowd.
well they made those 3s because our genius head coach thought it was smart to play zone defense against one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the NBA. Just an amazing game plan once again.

its honestly pretty outrageous just how efficient OKC's stars are
SGA is shooting 54.8% from the field (just under 37% from 3 which is fine), 88% from the line, and 3:1 assist/to ratio
Jalen Williams is shooting 54% from the field, 45% from 3, 81% from the line
Chet is shooting 53.6% from the field, 39.4% from 3
and all 3 are very good defensive players
It helps when you know opponents aren't allowed to guard you or else you go to the line once again.
80s Lakers and Michael Jordan know that feeling
At times it seems Giddey is both dating and shooting in the teens.
Wow. You’re hilarious. How do you come up with this stuff?
I spend a fair amount of time around your mom
Rosewood has your mom mentioned some creepy, deviant stalker trying to impose itself on her lately?
Chip saw the obvious dumpster fire incoming and did not allow Grandpa Dictator to drag him down.
Hope OKC can combine for another Championship for Chip.
If it was PATFO who dismissed Chip.
Was there ever a reliable report on the reason Chip left the Spurs?
Not saying you are doing this, but for folks suggesting it was all Chip, these metrics are all this is meaningless without knowing their underlying baselines/starting points.
Believe someone posted up thread.
Great increases IIRC.
If I was OKC I'd take a swing on Castle with one of their two lottery picks after the way Chip fixed Kawhi's shot.
Nah it’s not all chip. Just felt like a good thread to post in when discussing okc shooting %
Honestly this is cope. SGA drives more than anybody in the league and has a size advantage against other guards. He’s scoring unless they foul. When you drive into the paint a lot you will get to the line because you will face physical contests more than people settling for 3s
embiid is way more of a foul baiter than anybody I’ve seen, right up there with peak harden. SGA isn’t in their category imo. Tho to their credit, embiid and harden were also aggressive when it comes to driving into the paint relentlessly. Still, they foul bait to a degree SGA does not sniff
let alone Jalen Williams or Chet. Not sure why you’d levy that criticism against them
They gave Pop and Wright both raises that summer instead of paying Chip more. Pop gotta get his while preaching to everyone about social justice.
"Chip has to get over himself. I'm the man here."
No. The Spurstalk ideas about money, as posted by some, are just typical silliness. There’s no factual reason to imagine OKC is paying Chip more than the Spurs would have. Per year, that is.
More likely, as long as we’re speculating, is that Chip’s decision was based on length of contract. Chip is now 62, close to retirement, or at least close to the age where he’d like the option. At the time of the contract negotiations with the Spurs, he was probably looking for a multi-year contract to take him to retirement age.
Before the Spurs got lucky and drafted Wemby, Pop was going to retire. Everything points that way. (The Spurs hired a consulting firm, two or three years ago, to help find a new head coach. Since Pop is also POBO, that firm would not have been hired without the blessing of Pop, himself.)
So the Spurs, at that pre-Wemby time, may have offered Chip only a one year contract. The new head coach would have to have the option of choosing his own staff, of course.
So it probably goes back to the Spurs thinking they would not get Wemby (14% chance we recall) and Pop would probably retire. Thus, the offer of only a one year contract extension to Chip.
Chip looked around, and OKC offered him the longer term contract he was looking for. Also, a good situation. Is my guess about what happened. The contract details are private, so it’s all speculation.
That is ignorant nonsense. Chip left in the summer of ‘22.
Pop got his new contract in the summer of ‘23, after the Spurs got Wemby.
You’re a year off, spunky.
AHF is the OG PATFO hater.
Thought within an article mention was made of an understanding that while the Spurs and Popped had not finalized a contract in 22, they had come to basic terms long before signing in 23.
Gramps had and has the car keys all along.
Search feature is out or i'd try to locate.
I was and am sorry to see him go but I guess he wound up in a situation he liked. I thought maybe he was getting vibes of a head coaching job in the offing somewhere. I've never heard of the Spurs letting a long time employee go away mad, especially one that presumably had a good relationship with Pop. Normally, if they want to go for some reason, the FO is out in front of getting them a good job where they want to go if possible. I don' think any team in the NBA has a better record in regard to treating their employees and players fairly and favorably.
It probably just came down to him not wanting to go through a rebuild. It’s not for everyone.
Spurs would be wise to try and bring him back. Beyond Wemby the Spurs are not too wise.
