Game Thread Spurs (27-11) @ Timberwolves (25-14) (Sun 1/11/26) [6PM CST]

Look at the recent Timberwolves games and it's not like their execution was good for this one, they just capitalized on us being retarded.
Not everyone has an inexperienced coach who thinks he’s hot shit with his rotations. And when does that coach ever take accountability? The fucker who preaches embracing the mundane can’t even do his part.
 
Mitch getting mad at that Randle screen for the game winner was especially awful, Randle wasn't even moving, that's never getting called.
 
Dylan Harper has scored 17 total points over the last 5 games.
He was never as great as the commentors, Spurs Twitter (X now) or people like Sean Elliott made him out to be. Aside from Jordan, no rookie was ever as good at getting to the rim as they were hyping Harper to be. Reality was bound to give you all some perspective. Now you’re going to call him an R-word, as some already have in this thread and the last few game threads. It’s only a matter of time before they label him a bust, just like they’re doing to Castle now.
 
Fox and Castle shot a combined 8/30 tonight… Most the blame goes on them tbh.

We’re the worst 3PT shooting team in the NBA since Christmas. That’s the real issue with our team. We can nit-pick everything else all we want, but the reality is we have a team that can’t shoot the ball right now. That’s why we keep losing games.
They had a 19-point lead, 14 going into the fourth and shot the three the best they have in a while tbh. This is on Mitch not making adjustments and sitting Wemby to start the fourth imo; also on Mitch being ass at out-of-timeouts plays in the clutch.
 
Guys - shit will happen.

We ran 2 plays for Fox to close so far this year and he didn’t closed either.

If team superstar is on minutes restriction plus our best wing defender not playing, things like this will happen. Their bigger picture is to keep Wemby health for playoffs.

I want us in playoffs with wemby healthy. The world gotta see his brilliance and Spurs brilliance.
 
On one hand, this is another game we should have won but we let slip away… on the other hand, we’d pulled off some games where the script was flipped (@ DEN comes to mind). It doesn’t mean we suck… it just means we’re an NBA team with plenty of room to improve.

This one hurts, but on to the next!

We need to keep winning.If we keep losing like this,we gonna be in the play in seed.
 
I was most disgusted by the inbound turnover from KJ to SC and SC not even attempting to contest the Ragu corner 3. Huge swing.
 
Very real issues with Fox Castle Harper. Not just a little funk. 12-14 games now of truly awful offense. And the team shrunk when MIN upped their intensity which is very disappointing.

Welcome to playoff level basketball young Spurs (and Fox who isn’t familiar with that setting much) - this is how it is so you better be ready

The trio has stunk for 3 weeks already. I don't think I have saw anyone from the Timmy-Manu-Tony big 3 era who has hit the "rookie/sophomore" wall for so long. This is definitely unprecedented.

As for Fox.....Fox has a few bounce back game but he will immediately bounce off again after the bounce back game :st-lol: His Max contract will only kick in next season....He is 28 years old and I think safe to say that he is still quite inconsistent, compared to his days at Kings. Not sure if the Max contract gonna look good when he hit the 30s
 
This is a really really tough stretch and they are hanging in there. OK so far. This is kind of the doldrums of the season right now.
Cannot agree at all, the guards have been absolute shit post Christmas and the only good game the team has had since was against the tanking Pacers.
 
Why are our backup guards on the roster if Mitch isn't going to play them?
At X point Fox, Harper and Castle were like 3-21 and 1-14 on treys.
