He was great. But when you’re at the free-throw line with a chance to go up 4 and ice the game with two seconds to go. Just shoot the goddamn free-throw.Wemby being clutch is such a fuck you cherry on top of his already insane length+skillset tbh
Agreed 100%. Without Wemby, Fox, and Keldon heroics this is an embarrassing loss tbh.
Still need to start operating like this is a pseudo-contender and not a lottery team tbh.
He was questionable with an illness, was obviously affecting him.
Alec bald win.
Still some growing to do. Thanks for the deets!
I just finished watching the game/game replay for the first time now. This didn't turn out too well. I am really glad the Spurs won the game as I was beside myself watching in the second half. Not sure how people here reacted live, but I guess I'll find out once I read through the game thread. Darn lucky we won the game. AE went OFF, and Victor also was big for the Spurs.
Looks like you were spot on, but luckily the Spurs scraped through with the win.
Didn't the Mavericks offer Luka for AE? I thought I read a rumor that they made that offer before going with the Lakers.Luka's defense is really being exposed now. lol maybe Nico is right.
I thought Luka was in the Men Health magazine and slimmed down in the off season. Thought his defense and athleticism might improved due to his fitter body...But he instead has regressed further on defensive end and also lesser athleticism on offensive end.
Vic's looking a little Jordan-esque game wise with the shaved head. Keep the monk focus.
Yeah, wish that were true. It didn't workout that way in the second half
. Spurs are so inconsistent (even in the same game!).Good early call, but fortunately, they scraped out with the win
They really gotta fix this. How are they this stupid that they keep slacking off and let teams back into games. I hope they wake up sooner and not later. Mitch must do jack shit at half time. He's also poor at in-game adjustments.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I watched the game replay. Fucking terribly rigid coaching. Make a freaking adjustment.
It's getting ridiculous. How can you play a basketball game based on preconceived minutes and times that players plays throughout the game. Can you not adjust within the game and play him at different junctures if he's doing well or if the team is not doing well with him off the floor? Is there any wiggle room for any kind of adjustment?
If the Spurs had of lost this game, a good chunk of it would have been on Mitch.
It was a pretty amazing duel between the two. They both wanted it.
Unreal performance.
Yep. It was a stupid play from Vic. No idea what he was thinking. Just make it and it's game over.
His game would make him one of my favourte players, but like you said, I also don't love the guy on a personal level. Not my type of personality. He's an incredible player, though.
I can't remember what they did. I know it was something silly, but don't remember. Oh, it just popped into my head. It was the skills challenge, wasn't it? lol, that was so stupid.
Fox nailed it perfectly.
Yeah, good call. He was the spark that started it. Maybe that doesn't happen if those two play, but can't play the what if game. Spurs played bad and this one felt like a moral loss.
Man, I wish you didn't say this. I wanted the Spurs to win that lottery so bad, and to come so close, it stung a little. I tried to be appreciative and happy to have gotten Dylan, but I thought Cooper would have fit better. Really can't be geedy.
I find it funny how the people in the front rows are always dressed like they are going out to dinner at Applebees. I know they are probably super rich and probably think they are above wearing jerseys or gear, but show some spirit dammit!
I like that you summarize your thoughts and answer diff posts on diff parts of the game. You definitely had a better day than the rest of us, health-wise.I just finished watching the game/game replay for the first time now. This didn't turn out too well.

I did mention it in the last game thread, but probably no one read it as it was a day or so after the game, but would knee pads help from knocks on the side? I know D-Wade used to wear them I think because he spent a bit of time on the ground due to driving to the rim, but I've never worn them before and don't know how they work/where they provide protection (if it's just the front of the knees?). Anyone here worn them before?

Yep. Great point. How much of that damage did Ant do when Castle went out or was not guarding him. That'd be interesting to see, but the refs did help Ant out a bit by calling soft fouls on Steph. Maybe Ant doesn't get going to that extent if Steph didn't get called for soft fouls on him.
Not able to watch them live a lot of the time due to timezone difference. I've watched only maybe 5 or 6 games live this season. I only just starting reading through the threads after watching the games later. I liked a lot of the posts this time around.I like that you summarize your thoughts and answer diff posts on diff parts of the game. You definitely had a better day than the rest of us, health-wise.
Cant imagine the last time I watched a full game on replay, probably 2014 tbh.
Ah, I had it on mute cause of the NFL game until the last 5 mins of the game. The main thing that annoys me with Tobey is his emo delivery when opposing teams are on a big run. I like him well enough otherwise, though. Tough to replace Bill.
