Man, Cooper Flagg looking more like an elite role player than a future star/superstar in the league. He is still too young to proclaim a flop, but the "generational talent" tag was silly then and even more foolish now..Nothing has popped off out his game so far in his 7-game NBA career (Harper...
Same. I was bracing for after ALL-Star break return timeline. Non-contact injuries are always bad news, so this falls under best case scenario in that category..
Just like that this guy has not played in a competitive game of basketball for 8 months..That's an ACL-type of injury layoff..He better come back and show us he is worth that max extension. Games like last night is when you desperately need a 30-piece from Fox to take the load off Wemby and make...
I'm fine with this, tbh. Outside the Mavs game, Spurs have won in unconvincing fashion against mediocre teams..Nets & Pelicans getting rolled by everyone and we struggled to put them away...Huge test in next couple games though. (LAL & Rox)
Game against the Lakers will tell us a lot about this team, especially from a mental standpoint. Wemby, under the spotlight on ESPN, coming off one of his worst NBA career performances.
Single digit scoring in this current era of offense-first basketball is simply unacceptable for superstar tiered players..There is no excuse for it even you are little dinged-up..It is more of a reflection of a mental no-show than anything else. Frankly speaking, it felt like Wemby did his...
Not sure if it is the coaching staff call, but i wonder if they got cute with these injuries return delays..If those guys are scrimmaging, why were they not inserted for spot minutes in a game like tonight ? Either that or Fox was simply bullshitting about his readiness to go if it was up to him...
My most controversial take going back to Spurstalk days: Castle has more dog in him than Wembanyama..He doesn't get easily rattled..Steph is just less emotive and trash-talky than Wemby and more of a silent killer in the mold of TD and Kawhi.. And i really hate that for Wemby.
Gotta thank whoever put the time, effort, and money to set up this new forum with all the nice bells & whistles.
It was pretty obvious Spurstalk was no longer a serious operation when its owners/administrators observed a total radio silence throughout the near month in which ST servers went...
Just when we thought he ascended that rarefied tier of night-in, night-out excellence of the Jokic, prime Timmy, Lebron of the world. Really disappointing seeing him getting shut out violently (or rather take himself out of the game like that) against a mediocre opposition
Wish Harper the best and hoping he doesn't miss too much time, but the early signs are of him being injury-prone unfortunately..There is always going to be something: a knee, a groin, a finger, a calf.. Not encouraging at all
Said it in the game thread; as long as Wemby still has these complete "ima take the night off" games you can't put him in Top 4-5 just yet..Even as a Wembanyama fan, the first week glazing from media & internet was a little too premature.. As we just saw sadly, he still capable of vomiting...
