  1. Oh and Wemby has to have the ball at the end. I know GSW started to double team in the 4th, and Wemby isn't exactly trustworthy dribbling (or passing sometimes tbh), but it still feels like you gotta get him the ball and draw something up off-ball for Vassell or Fox. Not just pray that Fox bails you out of that 4th quarter.
  2. I hit the pen in the middle of the 4th and it kicked in right on time. I'm at peace with these losses. We're not Top 2, and probably not Top 4 in the West. Thats fine. We're going to compete. We're going to be better in February. This team is still in dire need of someone else to set an offense and hunt the mismatches. Fox is not a true PG. We knew that. Wemby just threw up two below average games like a week ago. Fox has played 3 competitive games in almost a year. He can easily settle into this season and give us the 22ppg we need from him. Perimeter defense and turnovers. The story of the first 12 games of the season. We can work on those things. The Warriors ain't getting any better, they will go as Curry's injuries go. We were always going to have to learn this season. These were lessons.
  3. Vance slowly puts wallet back into his pocket, but shit-eating grin remains....
  4. Motherfucker you think this is our first time? It's expectations you fear? As a LONGHORN? Oh gee I never thought that maybe we're just not that good and maybe there's a chance we won't win the national championship this year. Maybe if I just rearrange my expectations.
  5. I great news today, I got a notification that UUUU hit my target price of $14! ....
  6. So now that deportations are happening bigly and by the millions in numbers nobody has ever seen before, when can we expect the housing market to cool and prices to come down to a reasonable rate for middle-income Americans?
  7. "It really makes you think." "Nobody wants to ask these questions, somebody should be asking these things". Oh yeah really good points Joe Rogan, wow I never thought of that, such insight. What intellect. Real journalism here. You ask such brave questions. The overcorrection is etched in this country's history, you fucking mouthbreather. Stop surrounding yourself with Morons and you'd realize these questions predate you. Which is surprising considering you're only 50+ yet have a caveman's idea of intellect.
  8. Looking forward to seeing some big time games from our big time guys. Simmons and Burke are peaking right now. Hill has been making impact plays all year. These are the guys that can change the game imo. Maybe sneak in a Taaffe interception after Stockton gets flushed and makes a stupid throw across his body.
  9. I've been annoyed with Rogan since Alamo left the Ritz and he took the property with his Spotify money. I'm a pretty big comedy fan and was stoked to see Creek & the Cave open up, and I'm been to Cap City a handful of times over the past couple years. I don't fuck with the need to feel like I'm part of the frat though, and Mothership just feels like a frat house built with Rogan's Spotify money. I like a decent amount of bigger and smaller (touring) comics that appeal to me because they're funny and have interesting things to say, when I've tried to give Kill Tony a chance I feel like I'm watching clones try the same edgy bits. Not for me. I do also feel like the hype has died down and the comedy scene is moving on from him trying to make this city the mecca. NY and LA will always have their scenes. I'm also happy that places like Cap City (and even Creek & Cave) can continue to fill rooms with touring acts though. It seems like comedy as a market is completely fine here.
  10. Pretty sure Fox called out that inbounds set and got Wemby that one-on-one baseline jumper that he knocked down. Wemby can use all the help he can get right now. Just get him to the right spots and not trying to iso opposing centers from the 3-point line.
  11. C'mon mannnn..... He just has that gravity with the ball that true stars have. He's getting what he wants and dares the other team to stop him.
  12. Are we about to get run out of the building or is somebody other than KJ going to bring some fight?
  13. This soft ass team start really needs Sochan in for Vassell or Champagnie. And Kornet to get his ankle back asap. If Wemby can learn a rip-through to keep everybody and their mama from reaching in on him it would really help. Anyone and everyone is poking at him and he has no clue what to do right now. Just look over at KD.
  14. Sure would like another ball handler like Fox for this clutch stretch.
  15. C'mon man. Sochan isn't sitting on the bench for long. Barnes or Champs gotta ride pine. Good Castle game.
  16. He's a disciple. He openly called himself a Democratic Socialist last night. He's of the branch, so of course it's the same platform. Now I don't have much worry that he "gets" it after seeing him speak last night, but the priority should be to build that coalition and hammer home the working-man talking points and make sure everyone knows that they are included in this future. Young men as well.
  17. I'm a life-long Spurs fan from Houston who never left Austin after undergrad, and I still, til today, have no idea how I feel about the arena project. I feel like I don't believe either side as an observer. The Spurs skipping town at the first ballot loss on a new area seemed far-fetched. The Holts are Texans with a long history in SA who own a bunch of SA sports teams, not just the Spurs. Moving to Las Vegas seems like empty propaganda, and moving to Austin (to me), also seems far-fetched. The Spurs are still in prime position to take advantage of the burgeoning SA-Austin metroplex and don't need to plant themselves in Austin to do so. Packing up and moving goes against everything the organization prides itself on. Family. Loyalty. Trust. I love SA as a city, and love to hang out around downtown and walk the riverwalk and Market Square. It feels like my Tejano home. Why updating a quiet, sleepy downtown to include a sports arena is a problem doesn't make sense to me. I've seen what the Rockets and Astros have in Houston, and although it's not perfect, there's ways to kill a couple hours before game time. I still don't get what the problem is in doing that for SA. And it seems to be mostly covered by taxes not imposed on residents, or paid for by the Spurs. I assume *if* there was overages they wouldn't amount to nearly the total cost and would hardly be an imposition on the residents anyway (which also assumes the Spurs just gave the middle finger to the city and went back on their word to pay). Anyways. What a weird few months. I still don't understand why the org was so against independent monitoring, but hopefully I don't have to hear about it a decade from now. GSG. Can't wait to experience the new Spurs arena. I'll be at the old one on Saturday to hopefully see Sochan and Fox back. I'll be at an Austin game in February too. GSFG.
  18. Really glad I took some of the UUUU profits to offset everything else taking a shit. Should've sold the rest at $22.
  19. Love seeing Burke get some recognition. He was quiet early in the season, and seemed to have his usage drop. I coudn't believe that would hold up though. He's come up time and again in big time situations over the years. Him and Simmons warming up to the back half of the SEC run will be huge.
  20. I get that the refs were shit, and I agree. But letting Pavia run 25 yards untouched to the endzone and then having a 1-play 68 yard drive for another touchdown in the next possession kept that score closer to the spread. And we need to fix that shit. If our DBs were healthy and not letting Vandy's only star receiver/TE run down the sideline untouched for 68 yards, maybe we keep the 2 possession win. I don't think that's too much to ask, refs or not.
  21. We were also playing with fire with McLaughlin getting significant minutes this year, and it showed tonight. He had some open looks missed tonight from 3. It feels a lot like the last two years with these injuries piling up. Having guys get heavy minutes that you know shouldn't be seeing the floor for a legit playoff team. Now we'll have 4 of our top 10 guys missing if Harper misses weeks.
  22. Can we get a 4th playoff weekend from the Valley? It's sub-6A. Hopefully a chance.
  23. Castle at the line is officially a problem. Just as much as his turnovers.
