Good man.

Don't be a pussy like these weak ass fans who can't handle a little bit of inexperience and jitters from our young, relatively inexperienced squad

It's frustrating because I'm sacrificing sleep for this. I have to work the night shift tonight at midnight and I would usually be napping right now

I went to my bedroom and started watching it on my phone

ive been there before where i turn the tv off amd then go watch on phone

We shoot our normal percentage from 3 and we would be up 15 tbh

Yes we are making OKC look a lot better than they are by bricking 3s, boneheaded turnovers, and barely playing Wemby. I’ll take it! We got 2 rubber matches soon enough no matter what happens here that we should be much better prepared for.

Free Champ!

 

[Splits]

Vasselline has been ass
Castle has been ass
Champ has been ass
Barnes has been ass
Harper has been ass
KJ, Fox, Kornet have been semi-ass

Yet it's a 3pt game because of Vic.

Mitch is not playing to win this game if VW doesn't start the 3rd, he's playing mind games for further down the road is all I can guess

This is the worst team to have a turnover against. They’re assassins. Castle is reverting to those stupid lazy passes which convert to uncontested layups. I would definitely let Fox or Harper run the point and have Castle play a true number 2. II see a lot of people blaming Mitch about Wemby’s minutes, but it was 100% the medical staff. I think the coaching staff were giving a strict amount of minutes and they just decided strategically to bring them off the bench. It was questionable there in the mid second quarter. We’ll see how it plays out. What Mitch could’ve done a better job is to yank Barnes out when he was 2-8 in the first quarter with at least five clean looks. He’s not nervous or anything he’s just missing shots he usually makes. He’s probably brought us two wins so far this season with his shooting. It’s unfortunate. We’re going to have to have some sharp shooting from the perimeter in the second half to have a chance and that’s pretty obvious….

Update: ESPN and NBA.com both updated and now showing that they did in fact give Wemby that block on Hartenstein! Great news.

Vic's gravity is insane

Why be pissed? It's still ultimately a regular season game. If the staff feels he needs to be eased in for a December game, I'm going to defer to them over dramatic fans.

And I kind of like planting the seed of doubt in OKC this way anyway. They might get the W with Wemby on a minutes restriction, but they're going to be thinking about him at full strength.

Such a great point… even if they win but Wemby posts a +20 in his minutes, that seed of doubt is going to be there going forward

 

[Em-City]

I’m trailing the broadcast and fast forwarding to see only SAS baskets.

It's tougher than what we were privileged to watch during the big 3 era and the maturity/coaching the team had back then.

This is a different journey, starting from a more raw situation. I'm gonna enjoy the ups and downs regardless

 

[scott]

Barnes still not even really close

 

[ffadicted]

Just said “if Barnes makes this one we win”

Sorry boys it’s my fault

 

[Correct Crusader]

Might need to switch the Barnes & Champ minutes tonight.

 

[spursparker9]

Gramp still cold

 

[SpurPadre]

Barnes’ corner shots continue to miss badly

 

[100%Duncan]

What a game for Barnes to be ice cold

 

[Hotspur]

Harrison Barnes has regressed back to Golden State Harrison Barnes tonight…. not good for us.

 

[spursparker9]

Might need to switch the Barnes & Champ minutes tonight.

They need Barnes to guard Chet lol

 

[CGD]

I’m giving HB a short leash if he keeps wetting the bed.

Vassell appreciation comment

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Because people have emotions and opinions of their favorite team.

[Dex]

Hopefully Barnes has a bounce-back half

Edit: lol nevermind
