San Antonio Spurs '23-'24: Hoops, Hype, Hair Dye

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Lol at fucking Lamelo Ball getting ref superstar treatment.

[ztejas 43741]

If I had a rule I could institute for the rest of the season for Pop it would be that Cedi and Keldon are not allowed on the floor together. 

[ztejas 43741]

How the fuck would this possibly be a flagrant? The amount of reviews during NBA games has gotten so ridiculous. 

Absolute joke of a fucking call. Flagrant for playing defense.

Look at the spurs doing crazy shit like recognizing mismatches on offense and actually hustling on defense. 

And McBuckets is on fire. 

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Barlow been giving us good stuff lately

[ztejas 43741]

This is part of why I hate Cedi so much. Doug is a very limited NBA player but he can at least shoot the fucking ball and give you stretches like this. 

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Doug is the only person where i don't groan when he shoots a 3.

 

Also, so many of Wemby's 3s hit everything but the bottom. They are such good looking shots to not go in.

Him, DV and Champagnie. 

With everyone else it's a God damn adventure. 

(I mean obviously Wemby can take as many as he wants afaic)

Here's some free, scorching-hot amateur analysis from yours truly.

[ztejas 43741]

Wemby these guys have families.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18655]

He looks like he’s playing on a nerf hoop mounted on top of a door. Jfc. 

[ChiTownDoc 21217]

On pace for 65 and 28 over 48 min.  Jesus

[hornfan785 565]

2 wins in a row!

[hornfan785 565]

Going to be at the game tomorrow, so hopefully Wemby plays for the first time in a back to back.

[Kermit 3160]

I think I passed out somewhere around the third quarter from orgasmic pleasure induced by multiple dunking. 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18655]

There’s some crazy stat like this every other night now. He doesn’t even know what he’s doing out there yet. I can’t imagine what he’s going to be in 3 years. 

[Braff Zacklin 13672]

Wemby turned 20 a week ago? Don't even recall LeBron or Shaq being that dominant that quickly. And neither possessed anything close to the skillset that Victor already has.

Dare I say we're playing some decent ball? We've moved up to having the 5th worst net rtg. Could see us jumping MEM by the end of the season, too.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18655]

They’ve been playing better for sure but the competition has been much easier. There’s some opportunities for more wins coming up as well. Collins and Bassey being out has been a blessing in disguise too.

The rest of the team is starting to realize that the game is easier for them if they play through Wemby. Once they truly understand how to do that, then all of the role guys start to look like legitimate NBA players.

I mean it's net rtg. A good way to raise it is to hammer shitty teams which we've done a couple times now - and to hang tough with better teams and we did that against MIL and @CLE (not so much Boston).

I will say playing some shitty teams has helped our confidence I think. So regardless of how any one game is moving the per possession stats I think they've started believing a bit more that they don't suck SUPER hard and that energy appears to be reflecting in our play a bit.

[ztejas 43741]

How are y'all going to watch the game tonight? Having trouble finding it anywhere.

[Kermit 3160]

One of them thar pirate channels.

Streameast seems to work some of the time.

[Kermit 3160]

This has been an incredibly entertaining game. I don’t want compliment anyone for fear of the Kermit jinx.

That was a winable game. Vassell can't go 1-13 when Wemby is out and the spurs get the win. But they were game and they seem to be playing harder especially on defense. This group is gonna be alright. 

[Kermit 3160]

My god, when Keldon Johnson is bad, he’s horrid. Just keep chuckin’, I guess. What a miserable start. 

[Pam Cummings 9696]

NBA team cant make layups.

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Trae Young is the king of making every shot when he's up 20

That shit spread like herpes.

[hornfan785 565]

Already down 30. LOL

[ztejas 43741]

On my way home from an abridged day at work.

Judging from the box score I think we're hungover.

[Gut Wagon 8105]

I don't get to see many SA games. So I was looking forward to this one against a clearly mortal opponent.

We are by any definition putrid.

One of those meth benders where you’re up for three days kind of hungover.

Maybe the GHB was really flowing at Magic City.

[Kermit 3160]

For those of you not watching (and you shouldn’t be), if one of you old, out of shape degenerates were to don jersey number three for the Spurs and attempt to play with professional athletes, none of us would be able to tell the difference. You might even be an improvement. The whole team has sucked ass, but what he’s doing on the court right now is embarrassing.

[BurgleBro 838]

This is fucking embarrassing lolol

What's the spurs equivalent of the Emergency Looch.. 

Hope we get another number 1 pick

[Kermit 3160]

Don’t look now guys, they’ve cut it to (checks score) 20!

[Pam Cummings 9696]

20 seems like not a lot after earlier lol

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Young getting soft calls while Vassell gets nothing

[hornfan785 565]

Nice move by Wemby there. Figured I'd watch the 4th since they got it down to a 20 point deficit.

[hornfan785 565]

10 point game!

Just keep doing that every time! Pick and roll to Wemby for the and-1!

[hornfan785 565]

What an inbound lob! Haha!

[Kermit 3160]

Guys, I would trade Keldon Johnson for Derek Fisher right now. Absolutely incredible half for Wemby. Dude is amazing.

[ztejas 43741]

I'm glad Sochan has 23/7/3/2/1 on my bench in fantasy because I forgot there were games on during the day today. 

[BurgleBro 838]

Wow Keldon did everything he could to kill that drive

[ztejas 43741]

We've outscored ATL by 11 points tonight not including the 10 mins where Branham was on the floor. 

Holy fucking shit please reassign that dude. 

I mean come the fuck on, man. Osman chipping in a -11 in 12 mins for good measure himself. No one else worse than a -6.

Edited January 15 by ztejas

[hornfan785 565]

Well, at least we got a nice Wemby show during the 4th.
