Fox was in the henhouse tonight I saiiiiiid

 

[Paramore]

Yihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Fox is proving he’s worth all of the fucking money and then some. This is the most importantly player on our team right now. Wemby is a close second. 14 rebounds and 6 blocks, and 16 blocks this entire series is godlike, but Fox proved in the 2 most important games how fucking crucial a closer can be. Thank you . Thank you. Now come in here and start whining about him bitches.

Agree. When they melted down in game two, nobody wanted to take a shot. He rectified that quickly. He just stepped up and did what he does. Veteran leadership.

Damn where you at now? The worst is when we lose a noon game (3 am-6am here) and my whole day gets ruined due to no sleep.

I live in Guam.

Born and raised there but was living in Portland during my 20's. Unfortunately, not a big Spurs community back home but that's what makes it great when we win. I have a whole ass party to myself lol.

 

[Corso]

Literally everything else in my life is utter and total shit, but I'm so blessed as a sports fan, I can hardly believe it.

Bruh


Spurs fam is here bro

 

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, Wemby needed to get more involved offensively there in the second half but Fox had to take it home once he realized the team was losing control and he succeeded.

 

[O_V]

The only thing I can figure was that having Clingan sag off him and not being allowed to shoot wide open 3s killed his psyche. But why was he not allowed to shoot wide open 3s? Those were too wide open not to take…

He's really young. He's been playing really good. He's allowed a little bit of a letdown. He played good in the first half. This is what's gonna happen for a little while. He's He's got a little time to think about it. He's got time to learn from the experience. He's always risen to the occasion.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Free Tacos!!!

Make sure to get that tatemada salsa, shit is fire. Though so is the avocado.

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If this was Denver Spurs don't go on that offensive drought

We have twice against them in the last month and a half

But glad with the win regardless

 

[Paramore]

 

[ginobilized]

Castle was forcing things and too aggressive to close out the game, good learning experience.
You should've seen the shit I was doing at age 21 and not learning anything

 

[Knoxxx]

Olynyk is absolutely not ready to play.

I can’t see any of him, BB, or Plumlee with us next season unless we really strike out somehow in the draft.

 

[spursistan]

Underwhelming second half and that's primarily on Mitch (see my post in his thread). When everybody cooled off it should have been Wemby's show to take us home.

 

[SpurPadre]

Shaq trying to bring back that bullshit about Admiral not giving him an autograph but EJ called him out.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Nah, not worried about Wemby not getting involved on O. I think its by design.

Remember the game against PHI, where he just took 5 shots in total. Thats the last game before tough schedule playing against DET, BOS, HOU etc.

He will be fine in DEN series. But man castle is make or break guy.

 

[dn0774]

Harper and Castle going to see plenty more bigs on them when they are the ball handler. I am guessing teams figured out the vast difference in making their catch & shoot 3s vs off the dribble 3s. Portland was begging both of them to try wide open OTD 3s.

 

[Exstatic]

Great finish by Fox. But it is a bit concerning that the Spurs seemed so dependent on him at the end of the game.

It’s what you pay him for.

Wemby was memeing if we’re being honest

 

[spurs2112]

Lmao poor Vassell just chillin there waiting for a question

I know right. They should of just asked him what free taco he was going to get from Taco Palenque.

 

[Guru of Nothing]

Fo

 

[Wemby_Island]

Just chilling out there, boxing out defenders to create easy shots for team.

 

[Trifecta]

Come on KJ, let the crowd soak it in a little bit more. You too turnt up.

KJ is the last person that needs to be beating the drum - needs to be Fox!!!

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Holiday, who was annoying as hell in the series. 8 points tonight on 3/14. That’s what he was doing a lot in Milwaukee at the end. He can’t shoot for shit.

 

[Rafa]

Of all the boys to interview at Inside the NBA, Castlr tonight is an interesting choice lol Rough outing for him, even emotionally it seemed, hopefully coaching staff has a nice chat with him.

Good thing he’s got like at least a week to chill out now

Fox has ice in his veins!!!
