Game Thread Spurs (22-7) vs Thunder (26-4) (Thu 12/25/25) [1:30 PM CDT]

[benefactor]

This offense is working right now but it feels a bit chaotic. Is it sustainable?

 

[Sugus]

I can only hope they're saving the "Wemby PnR with rolling Wemby" playbook for the playoffs, tbh. There's no other explanation.

@timtonymanu now im on the hope he gets a career ending injury. i dont usually like saying these things tbh but fuck this guy.

3rd quarter coming up

I think our team fits “chaotic”, if anything.

Wemby can take all the little jabs he wants to Chet, right now, he's not either the go to player of this team or the clear number 1 option on offense. Too many bad shots. he's so much more valuable when he focuses on defense and gets fed up by the guards, with lobs, open threes and takes advantage of a good position close to the rim. He really has to disciplne his offensive game against this level of competition. These bad long twos really don't help the team most of the time.

Those bad long twos are just idiotic. He rarely makes them and it usually gives OKC a transition opportunity. Mitch has to coach him there. Just shoot the 3 if you're going to do that dumb shit.

Let me guess, except when he makes it ?

 

[Shmurs]

Mitch should be willing to get tossed in this game if this is the shit we’re looking at.

Cheater squad is a 60 win team without the cheating. No title for them last year either. True fraud level shit folks.

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

really need to come out strong in the third, want to take the crowd out of it. Wemby needs to be more assertive around the rim

 

[EmanuelDavidGinobili]

Wemby holding his shin twice is bizarre as hell..

They need to get him in pick and roll actions let him pick and pop and get some open 3s. Need to continue to push the ball when he is in the game as well he’s doing awful in the half court set so far.

Wemby need to be good screener first

 

[SpurPadre]

If Spurs win by 20 today, Barkley will still say only the Rockets and Nuggets can beat OKC.

 

[ginobilized]

I wonder if Wemby sits the 2nd half with the shin pain. That last shove by Dort was pretty egregious. I would've gotten a T over that if I was coaching the Spurs

 

[SupremeGuy]

OKC/refs are going to go on a run during the 3rd.

We can't be this good already. lol

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Exactly. Those are literally uncontested when he shoots it. Keep taking 'em if he feels like it.
These emo bums expect everything to go in right now.

Chuck probably watched more NHL games this season, tbh.

 

[wemvp]

Wemby will not get MVP if he can't fix this offense stoppage. Even if we win something, fox or castle will be the mvp

Don't even think about Wemby getting MVP. The team doesn't need that, and he's too fragile so far to get the minutes to get that.

This is the deepest team with top quality talent in the league. Even as deep as OKC is they can't match Vassell, Johnson, and Harper level scoring talent after the top 3 players.

I doubt it. Not enough force for a bone bruise imo just banged his leg a bit

 

[spursfanfromafar]

That was a diabolical kick on Wemby's shin by Dort.. Straight red-card like European football offense. I hope Wemby is fine. He prepares himself well for contact. The way he recovered from the blows tells me he is fine.

 

[wemvp]

I'll say it again, Wemby coming off the bench is fucking his rhythm up. He can't get to his spots.

He's fine now. Start him.

Is he fine? He keeps grabbing his legs on falls.

I love his midrange shot. What I hate is Wemby attacking off the dribble from the FT line. He wants so badly to be KD but he's way more KG.

We need to convince him Dirk was better than KD, tbh.

If he tells the medical staff he has an ouchie we won’t see him until 2029

STFU. Everyone is making shots at the moment but when the going gets tough it's up to your top dogs to carry you over the top, 9 times out of 10.
People act like the Beautiful Game is that easy to replicate.
The naivete is cute.

 

[Robz4000]

Still think OKC wins this game with the calls they're gonna get in the 2nd half and Caruso not going 0-8, but I still consider this game a win provided they keep it close tbh.
