WELP we cannot touch the Nuggets players!!!
What I wouldn’t give for Wemby to learn Jokić’s post game…
Jokic locked bassey’s arm that entire move..
Jokic not even breaking a sweat. Bet hes thinking about nothing but his horse racing right now.
Why is Wemby sitting lol
Barely looks like an NBA team
How’d we go from The Beautiful Game to not being able to complete basic passes lol
They’re embarrassing themselves out there.
If the Sochan pg experiment isn’t doing anything for our defense then what is the point?
too ez for denver
Victor needs help. Please, Pop, I’m begging you to give him like 3 legit NBA starters to work with. Just that.
Don’t care about losing, but I really wish I could just watch a competitive game. Feels like I’m losing my evening.
Bruh that’s like the 5th tipped pass so far.
2023 Spurs can play great for about 15 min out of the game
Wemby is immediate best player lol
Rockets kinda screwed you guys over by giving the Nuggets a big wake up call. They have not looked like this in a while.
Even knowing we suck this is so frustrating to watch. How many times are they gonna steal the ball from us?
Keldon jogging back on defense once again. Shameful.
Should I just stop watching? I turned on the game the Spurs were down 5, now it’s an 18-point hole. Some voodoo going on here
Put me out there Pop. I can defend Jokic
Cedi has had some bad passes this run.
Wemby leaves. Blowout. I don’t mind it. We are building are identity around wemby. We will now see who fits around him.
I’m actually really starting to consider we may not win another game, even though Detroit is ass, they stay competitive for games, we just let teams casually smack 14 points in a row without any resemblance of being able to score.
Don’t really feel like doing this tonight man
So tired of us not running any type of offense. Pick and roll every fucking possession without floor spacers is getting super old
Cedi decision making is questionable
When Wemby is on floor the others have an idea of what to do. When he isn’t, even Devin, look lost. Devin less for sure. We need a PG. I would trade for Brogdon if possible or someone else. A decent distributor (what we wanted in Cam Payne) that’s 6’4 or above and can run an offense. I would fucking take Westbrook or Hayes ffs
So sad watching Collins jack up bricks, tons of shitty turnovers and just no semblance of offense from this team. I love this team and I love these players but these bad habits are gonna stick to these guys
It’s honestly painful watching Sochan dribble up the court and around screens he looks so uncomfortable
Pop haters about to argue how Coach Spo would miraculously have a lead in this game.
What kind of offense are we running here like this is terrible it’s not even an offense it’s just your turn my turn
Players look dejected man
Even for a young, “tanking” team, this is just BAD basketball.
Zach Collins is absolutely bailing out opposing defenses when he decides to play as a stretch big man. I get what he does it when Victor’s on the floor. There’s very real need to create spacing given how limited the rest of the lineup is so that Vic can/and cut to the rim. But when he’s out there playing 30 ft from the basket in lineups without Victor. It’s such a shame. He’s turned into a genuinely borderline elite post scoring option that the Spurs need to utilize more in the non Victor moments until he starts showing that he’s not that guy. Because right now he most certainly is way superior as a post scoring option then as a stretch one
Bonner knows the job. Plug-in “do what’s in the HEB-inside-the-game was”
Keep fighting folks!
The biggest problem is this team is Sochan btw. He’s the weakest link easily
This place would explode but I wouldn’t be shocked if the Spurs take Alex Sarr with their first pick instead of a PG
Spurs instantly look like a again as soon as Wemby checks in. Story of the season.
Sochan perk up babe
Really Vic wtf
THIS LINEUP WORKS IT JUST WORKS PLEASE
3&D/Cutting Sochan > Point Sochan
You know, for a guy who is not remotely integrated into our offense yet, Wemby plays a pretty major role in our offensive cohesion.
