SPURS IMPROVE TO 21-7, TWO GAME SERIES VS OKC UP NEXT



Not a lot of notes from me. Korndog and Swipa were great, as was Keldon. Thought Lunch Lady was really good in his run as well. I don't think Mitch did the greatest of jobs getting the team up for this one, but though his game plan was solid. We go into the OKC series well rested. The Thunder play MEM tonight, but the Grizz injury report is long and I expect OKC to come in well rested also.

Did Wemby head off to France? Will he play tomorrow? These are the rumors, but the Spurs once again elect to be vague in terms of sharing news saying only Wemby wouldn't have post-game availability due to personal reasons. We'll wait and see if anything pops on the injury report later today.

What You Said:

• @Snake Eyes - Fox, Kornet & Keldon get 5’s. Vic was solid.
• @heyheymymy - Make way for Korn! Mitch lost points by not getting to the third string. Fox looked fantastic.
• @mazerrackham - Crazy good 3 point shooting and game control by Fox. Good stuff.
• @spurraider21 - I didn't like Mitch finding 0 minute for Carter Bryant in this one. I know Harper was struggling bad, but less than 18 minutes?
• @LeBowen - At this point it's a typical Spurs performance, playing down to the tanking opponent's level.

I skipped over most of the dead time, did we ever get an explanation of why the Wiz fans were booing Olynyk every time he touched the ball?

Agreed, Olynyk was good in his mins but it doesn't really show on the box score. Lunch Lady is hopefully settling in as another option for the Spurs.

They said it was from a playoff game where he got a flagrant on then Wizard Kelly Oubre and that Kelly also confronted John Wall in some other game. Fans remembered lol

He had a history with the Wizards in the playoffs some years ago, some plays the fans think were dirty and overall playing well.

Spurs own Ian Mahinmi visible in that fight clip fwiw tbh

I hear things like "there was an incident in a Wizards playoff game..." and immediately I think to myself "clearly you are making this up"

Oubre should’ve aimed for the neck like olynyk di to him.

I asked about this at the game. Wiz fans 1) thought they had a shot that year (lol), and, more importantly, 2) see it as the start of the end of the Wall/Beal era.

It was a 7 game series in the second round.
They would've lost against the Cavs, but still.

Apparently Oubre was suspended for Game 4 which was big, but also Kelly had his career game in Game 7 which makes it all feel worse. It’s like if Horry had followed up “Hipcheck” with a 30 point game to close the Suns out.
