It’s OBVIOUS now…

1. We're at the bottom of the NBA in 3pt% yet we are firing 3's like we are the Celtics. And can we please get flashes of the Wemby from the 1st game of the season where he was dominating in the paint offensively??? His 3's are nice but if they ain't falling he needs to be able to get easy shots in the paint. Speaking of easy shots in the paint, it still feels like Castle and Fox aren't finding him consistently when he gets a good position down there. The man's 7'5", but it feels like Kornet gets more lobs than he does. Coaching is also a problem with too many blown leads coupled with questionable rotations. They need to get all these issues addressed before the Playoffs or it'll be a short run.

2. I don’t understand why Mitch isn’t calling plays for Wemby like Coach Pop called for Timmy in crunch time of games.

   How many times when we needed a basket, Pop called “4 down” which was Tim’s play to post up on the block so that the offense went through Tim in crunch Tim and Tim would either take his man one on one or if the opponent doubled or triple teamed him, he would kick out to an open teammate.

   Instead, we keep settling for long 3 point shots when the shot isn’t falling. We shot the ball well from 3 in the first half thanks to Julian but once the shot didn’t start falling and we started forcing 3 point shots causing Mitch to have to take multiple times outs we still keep shooting 3s. You would think we would change our approach and try to take all our shots in the paint especially posting up our truly unguardable F/C Wemby.

3. Totally agree. Devin Vassell is sorely missed. The last three loses where we gave up a big lead and lost, I’m convinced we would have won had we had Devin in crunch time.

4. We are not a 3pt contest team
   But we forced it

5. The Spurs take way too many 3 point shots. I can understand it if we’re stock piled with consistently good 3 point shooters. The reality is that we have 3 good 3 point shooters (Champagne, Barnes and Vassell) and a whole bunch of average but streaky shooters at best. And one of those 3 point shooters has been hurt leaving us basically with just with 2 and one of those two (Barnes) has been struggling lately.

   On nights when the shot is falling from deep for all, we look amazing with that kind of 3 point shot volume but we die by the same 3 point shot on most nights.

   The majority of our points need to come from the paint and there’s no reason it shouldn’t with the athletic guards/wings we have and Wemby and Kornet.

6. As soon as teams start packing the lane by playing a zone look to try to take away our drive and kick game, we get away from our attack mode and start just throwing up shots from way outside.

   Where’s our motion offense? Why is the ball movement stopping? Why aren’t we posting up Wemby on the block? Why aren’t we running high/low offense with French Vanilla? There’s so many different things we could be doing to continue to attack and get to the free throw line but we stop doing those things and just hoist up long shots.

7. Yes, it's gonna happen. Especially when you do not have a true Post player ending the last minutes of the game. We are gonna go dry even with Wenby, from time to time.

8. This fool just refuses to play Jeremy Sochan.

9. I warned about this same thing…Wemby playsbsoft too often, amd the more he does, the more teams will know all they have to do is play him physically and he won't attack the rim, block shots, nor rebound anymore…he will stick to taking jumpers and hoping the rebounds go to his teammates…this can be fixed by Mitch having wemby go in the low post when they put wing players on him and TELL him to attack the rim (you know…be an actual coach)…if this isn't fixed, Wemby will simply end up being a soft player

10. I think when Vassle comes back, Barns should come off the bench. Julian has earned that starting spot.

11. mitch calling time out but lo and behold there nothing came out from that time out,bricking 3s but right after that time out ,they still shot 3, 🤣🤣🤣

12. first round exit in the playoff with that kind of coach 🤣🤣🤣

13. bro u gotta turn down the music at the start that shit is way too loud

14. Maybe our max player needs to play more than 32 mins

15. 2nd game of a road back to back? Houston is 30 mins away on a plane bro what

16. Need new coach

17. I think spurs are missing vassell

18. I totally agree with you on the Wemby part. He's supposed to be the guy who can contribute both ends even when he's missing the 3s. But to me now, it looks like we are gambling on the three-point line (especially Wemby). For any 7'4 guy, it should not be like this.

19. No one’s talking about it. Vassell is injury prone. This is becoming a problem. When he comes back from injury. His shooting is way off. It’ll take him the whole regular season to get his shot back

20. What the fuck is a kalshi? That isn't American! Also what the fuck is Emerates? This is an American sport NBA, so why is it being run by a foreign company!? Wtf!!! I'm sick of all these foreign companies taking over OUR sports!

21. When the rim broke the second time the man put magnets in the rim and replaced the ball with a magnetic ball. rigged

22. Look, if their gonna be shooting nothing but 3s, then the rest of the team should be hitting the boards, instead of just assuming the balls gonna go in. Get sum fuckin offensive rebounds!

23. “Against teams like Houston” … you’re 2 1/2,games up. It’s close..

24. 4:40 its clear what happened mitch is a shit coach who bets on his team to lose because theres absolutely NO reason to be a high 3 point volume team when we're probably the shittest 3 point shooting team in the nba thats a deadass recipe to lose every damn game and if a single SG can point that out yet the head coach cant then he needs dropping 💯

25. We need Sochan!!! Castle can’t shoot yet & predictable

26. Really like that castle kid he got mad heart can see it from Australia 💪💯

27. To be fair he expends a lot of energy rolling to they rim and the often miss him on lob attempts. I understand he doesn’t want to keep getting beat up down low if they aren’t passing to him.

28. N defense

29. And didn't help that them f refs didn't call lot crap from them rockets yhea but way 2 many 3s by spartans

30. What about the officiating is it just me or did anyone else feel like the calls were one sided and totally changed the momentum of the game?

31. Love my spurs😊

32. Calm down Spurs fans, we are sitting so lovely compared to last season and the seasons before, we had one of those nights , i will say this Devin is a lot more important than some people want to admit, lets just relax.

33. I think chucking 3's can be attributed to fatigue, right? Wemby probably exhausted

34. Our best shooter plays in Austin.

35. The problem with the Spurs (and many other teams) is they treat an actual game like it's a practice. A regular season game is not the time to practice your three-point shots. They just jack up threes in the hope some go in. That's not efficient.

36. Why wasnt Fox and Juliane in in the 4th if they have the hot hand. Mitch coaching is very questionable.

37. We scored 14 points in the 4th quarter and went 0-11 from the 3 point line in the 4th. Yes it's shooting, but WHY? I think this is partly just poor team conditioning. The Rockets jammed the paint in the 4th and we failed to get the ball inside for good shots, except a little bit by Harper, who we took out (why!?!?). Wemby needs a post up, midrange game, with options to dish to slashers when the double team comes. It's cool that he's a decent 3 point shooter, but I don't want to rely on that in clutch time to win games, because when we need a bucket, we need an option that's more than 40% likely to succeed.

38. maybe the spurs are playing their starters too long against teams like Utah or Washington. It seems Mitch is not really trusting his whole bench even against these teams…

39. Lmao!!!! How many times do y'all got to hear!!! Wemby said he wants to play the 4 spot… Spurs first few games when they went undefeated wemby was playing inside and dominated and found wide open shooters.. he reverted back to KD 2.0.. always said they need another big man and kornet can come off bench with 2nd unit. And sohan not the answer and he can't play defense or offence so stop it

40. 3 point shooting seemed absent in the second half

41. Let Sochan play!!!

42. It’s mid season and the guys just got tired in the second half of the second night of a back to back. Nonetheless they did get away from their bread and butter (driving to the rim and stout defence) so that needs to be addressed. We still got a young team overall and a young coach as well figuring things out as the season progresses.

43. in the first half, Wemby was playing in the paint. Spurs were up by 15. In second half, Wemby starts chucking up brick 3's and Spurs get cooked.

44. Wemby will never win a Championship….as long as he thinks he's more Steph Curry than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

45. They shoot to many 3's at clutch time and not going inside the paint! We have to work the inside game more!

46. Please Spurs give us an experienced coach please!!!!
    And also trade for Giannis please!!!!
    Vassel, Sochan, Barnes, Jones, Olynyk, McLaughlin and Biyombo.
