Next 4 games..

@ OKC Tues
VS Bucks Thu
VS Minn Sat
VS Utah Mon

So 3 home games coming up.. I have given up trying to figure why we play so well against the best team in basketball? So they could finally whoop us on Tues but maybe NOT. Home games VS Bucks and Utah feel like must wins.. Hopefully get some payback with T-Wolves...

Lol. I wonder if the medical team gave doc shit

I just read that the Spurs are 18-5 when Wemby comes off the bench and 9-7 when he starts.

That’s wild and makes you think

Any chance Wemby sitting out? He landed on Gobert's feet

More like can you imagine how fucked would we be as of late if he was still injured.
He sat after just 4 minutes last night, up 16. I'm sure it's his fault we lost.

Spurs are +21 over the last 5 games he played.
Wemby is at +60 in just 124 minutes played.
Meaning the rest of the team is at -39 in 116 minutes without him.
On pace for -16 per game if he wasn't playing. But in reality it would be much worse since Olynyk/Sochan would be replacing him.
Not to mention they lost against the Blazers after he hyperextended his knee and barely beat the Pacers.

It’s not to blame him obviously but I think it’s more the allocation of his minutes and the coaching staff doing a horrible job figuring out when he needs to come back in. They really have done a poor job in that aspect.

We thought that at least passing and getting the ball to Wemby won't be an issue with all the playmaking we should have, but it's been pretty bad as of late.
In Boston there were two fast breaks with him running the open lane and being ignored while transition 3s are chucked.
Last night Keldon had him wide open in the paint, but decided to pass it to Waters in the corner. Luckily, Waters had the right read and made the shovel pass.

It's been really, really bad in that regard.
Post entry passing is also awful.
And then when Wemby isn't on the floor they attempt all those idiotic bounce passes into the middle of the paint, infuriating.
Does anyone on the coaching staff hold them accountable? I'm sick of "let them play through it" shit, that's how you develop losing plyers.
You don't tell a fundamentally flawed player to do everything at once and expand every aspect of their game right away.
Start with the basics and go from there.

It'd be amazing to beat this team 4 in a row but you can't help feel this is the revenge game.
