Game Thread Spurs (17-7) vs Thunder (24-1) (Sat 12/13/25) [8:00PM CDT]

[Itzsoweezee]

+20 in 7 minutes might be the craziest stat I’ve ever heard

 

[100%Duncan]

Just curious, would Pop have played Wemby tonight?

2005 Pop wouldve played Wemby against Denver

 

[Splits]

OKC basically decided we can't make enough open shots and focused on shutting down the paint.
We can't win this game if half the rotation is getting dared to shoot and can't make their shots.
This run was great for the morale, but OKC has at least two more gears in them and we'll need our shooters to show up.

Block streak is still alive, btw.

no it's not. He didn't get credited with a block

 

[Knoxxx]

I knew when we busted Holmgren in the face on a made layup this game was our tbh

 

[Davidicus]

Wemby lookin like a deer on rollerskates out there but hey presence alone is mega

 

[Strategic]

Wemby should get credit for a block on Hartenstein

 

[Hotspur]

They didn't count Wemby's Block on Hartenstein on that offensive rebound… They're saying it was just deflected. Look very much like a Block to me. NBA statisticians are lame af.

 

[Spurminator]

So much drama in here.

All the Spurs needed to do tonight was shoot within the range of average on open three-pointers and they are golden. And that's without considering that Wemby is on what is apparently a 15-minute restriction.

Anyone jumping off a cliff right now needs their head examined.

 

[Knoxxx]

Spurs +20 on the 7 Wemby minutes

 

[goprimogo]

BIG GAME VASSELL

he just locked down the mvp lol

 

[Sugus]

Wemby is so fucking game breaking. We can go punch for punch with the Thunder whenever he's on the court!!!! How many teams can say that?? Nuggets with Jokic maybe?

Don’t believe they gave Wemby a block on that.

The 1Q offensive system wasn’t bad. We generated a ton of good looks for guys who normally make them. If we do that again, but hit at even 34%, we’re in this one

 

[100%Duncan]

Are people here really cliff jumping or are they just pissed at the fact of Wemby’s minutes? Fully justified IMHO.

 

[timtonymanu]

do you want a win or a 3 pt halftime deficit moral victory against this “all time” team lmfao

I'm not talking about wanting the team to win this game but you're going down the Mr. Body route shitting on Fox when our entire team was basically shit that 1st half. Thankfully Wemby is having an impact today.

And yes that's an all time OKC team whether your whiny ass likes it or not.

 

[onechance87]

We need castle to wake up.

 

[Em-City]

Wemby should get credit for a block on Hartenstein

Nah it wasn't a shot from hart

 

[Spurs Homer]

Shots are going to fall for us in the second half…and it will be intense…

If mitch starts kornhub and gets wemby in before the 7 minute mark- spurs will get their rythm and okc will face their first real adversity this season…

I am confident that barnes/champ/keldon/ et al will find their groove…shots will fall and the okc swagger will start to fade

Book it.

 

[Hyrup]

Wemby is just otherworldly.

It was actually a really good game plan. The commentators were calling it. They collapse and leave the weakside corner open. Our guys just weren't hitting. Let's hope that changes next half.

Steph with 5 TOVs jfc

 

[Davidicus]

The -Wemby squad is playing exactly how I hoped they would. Continue to be individual leaders on offense - we would always defer to Wemby beforehand and slow it down. Now we’re making Wemby adjust to what we’ve got going (pushing pace, touch the paint) and it’s opening up the court tremendously.

 

[TDomination]

I think the whole point is to get Wemby started slowly so that he can play more in the 2nd half

 

[Em-City]

he just locked down the mvp lol

He's been the best Spurs player outside of Wemby

 

[CGD]

In other news, Stan Van Gundy only said “drop coverage” twice for those of us playing the drinking game

When he turned it over after Wemby got triple-teamed it hurt my soul.
