    Tough day. I. covered the Spurs from 1996-2014. I saw the franchise, which had always been on the cusp of getting the crown, but never getting over the hump, as runner-up. Losing to the Washington in

    I knew this day was coming sooner than later. It's still hard. IMO, Pop is the greatest NBA coach/executive of all time. (Spare me the Red Auerbach/Phil Jackson talk today.) I'm sure I've told th

Yup. He did not play.

That definitely contributed to the lack of rebounding

The lineup with Tre Jones and Chris Paul is coaching genius.

Whatever that was for the final 5 min of the 3rd quarter was.......just really bad. Kept waiting for a timeout and it never came.

You get beat on the offensive glass 17-8 and lose the turnover battle 15-5, you are almost certainly going to lose.

I’m not even mad. That’s a damn good team they lost to on the biggest stage in basketball. And if Bridges is shooting like that, you just tip your cap.

Vic isn’t even old enough to drink and he’s a top 5 player in the league. All of this only gets better. They have to take their lumps and learn how to close out these games. Once they do, look the fuck out. This is just the next step in the progression.

 

KJ 2 points.  Should have traded him when he had value 2 years ago or so.

I watched this game and I haven’t watched NBA since Kobe. Vic is unreal, first time I’ve watched him. Holy shit. He’s still a kid and it sometimes shows but in a few years if he isn’t the most dominate player we’ve ever seen I don’t know what to tell you. Rebounds, blocks, inside game and the range omfg. He could bring audience records single handedly.

Spurs with an 11 point 1st quarter against the Nets who have their starters sitting out. Horrible start to the game.

I don't know if he's top 5 yet but I'll give him top 10 without hesitation. Someone posted that in his last 9 or so games he was at like 30/10/4 dimes/4 blocks on basically 50/40/90. Stupid fucking numbers.

I'm a fan of the cameo. Tune in more and liven the thread up. The less we all have to read me and @Kermit's bullshit the better.

I wish I could god knows I need the distraction but my wife is uphauled at my “sportsball” watching as it is. When we got together Texas was so bad I honestly didn’t watch really any games. Now every Saturday night, “are you watching another football game?” I’ll peak at a few games and post if I can.

I’ll tell ya tho I’ve been watching the NBA documentaries, last dance and bad boys, about to crack open the lakers Celtics. Man I miss that era and Kobe was at the transition to todays game… so to turn on the tv Xmas day and see Vic ballin’ did make me think about getting back into it. It’s a different game but to see the wow factor as something else. Fuck the mavericks from the beginning to the end of time.

I love Castle, but his poor free throw shooting is really frustrating. I'm confident he'll get better, but still...

Wemby took big shot to the face. May be mild concussion.

Yeah, had somebody jump and hit him in the chin with the top of their head. Looked painful.

A win is a win. That was as ugly as cousins fucking.

It’s what I do bruh 

Wemby posting up a smaller player, random Spurs player doing everything thing they can to not throw an entry pass. Rinse, repeat.

These dudes don’t play very well when they get punched in the mouth. They don’t have an answer for physical play. 

Playing Zach Collins again, for inexplicable reasons. Yes, he still sucks. Surprise, I know.

They’ve responded to physical play. Nice. Still need to figure out how to stop Whiteboy Jordan.

Need a big fourth quarter from Wemby. This feels like one where Ant tries to take over down the stretch. 

The Timberwolves are some whiny ass bitches.

Gobert was fucking torching him. Needed to be Bassey mins. 

Bassey is obviously fucking Mitch Johnson’s johnson’s holster. Doghouse. 

That's a ridiculous overturn.

Jeremy and Harrison have been nails tonight. 

I don’t mind Wemby shooting threes anymore, but he does shoot some incredibly ill-timed misses. In other words, he takes some dumbass threes. 
 

Not that one though. Goddamn, Wemby.

Not a good box score night from Jeremy but he's has some huge possessions on D.

He’s been on Ant all fucking game.he’s 6-20. Dude is fucking nails on defense.

All these close losses will hopefully pay dividends soon, because my balls can’t get any bluer.

Man. TWolves played great D all night. Including that last possession.

Not a bad loss - would have been a huge win.

Barnes wide open in the corner so Sochan can air mail that. Terrible shot selection down the stretch all the way around but that last one was especially brutal. 

I keep trying to tell myself these are good games and they're showing a lot of improvement from last year and we weren't expecting to compete in the playoffs this year, but it's so frustrating to see them be so close in the end and lose these games.

It's one thing if a great player beats you. To allow guys like Mikal Bridges and Divencenzo to beat you is unacceptable.

Oh and Harrison Barnes going 8-9 for 24 pts is realistic? Spurs are a pesky team. Wemby lives up to the alien nickname to a T. Theyre 1 good consistent guard from being in the upper echelon of the west.  Wolves shot god awful, killed the Spurs in the paint and got destroyed up on FT attempts somehow.  Im just happy to be done with SA for the next 2.5 months. Our games are carbon printed since last year- Wolves jump out to big 1st half lead, Spurs go nuclear in the 2nd half  and the 4th is normally a dog fight.

Loving this game so far. Fuck James Harden, fuck the nephew, and fuck the Clippers! GSG!

That was an awesome way to end the year. Hopefully those losses lit a fire under their ass.

I caught this moment after the game last night of Wemby acting surprised to see himself on the jumbotron.

 

I hope he and Sochan win 5 titles here together and then grow old with each other not in like a gay way but like a bromance type of way where they play chess and read Steinbeck and smoke pipe tobacco. 

Big game tonight fellas.

I think if we win this one then the NBA shitverse needs to start taking us seriously. Bill Simmons and his but-buddy House have already assumed the L on their Spurs ~36 win under that they were very confident about coming in to the season. 

How good is this Wemby kid? On the Spurs subreddit I called him a lot better than 2nd year LeBron and 2nd year Luka and got some pushback.

I'm sticking by my shit. I think he's that fucking good. He's the best defensive player in the league and on top of that is putting up 30 a game and hitting 40% from 3. 

GSG
