Game Thread Spurs (30-13) @ Rockets (25-15) (Tue 1/20/26) [7:00PM CDT]

[Rafa]

This team oughta be ashamed. Killing a team for 2-1/2 quarters and then just assuming it’s in the bag is pitiful

It’s only like the 18th time we’ve done this lol we just end up winning some of them because we stumble our way to the finish tbh.

When Wemby isn’t on not even a Champs shooting night can save this team and Mitch’s rotations. We kind feel like frauds to be honest

 

[Kick-Stand]

Ugh this game fell apart when Fox started chucking Curry threes to end the third and then Coach Dipshit didn't nip it in the bud and they played the first half of the fourth the same way.

 

[Dyoung13]

What a joke of a loss. This team needs to wake the fuck up and play a full game. Sick of this

 

[Biggems]

This is inexcusable.

0-10 to start the 4th.....all but 1 shot was a 3. Instead of attacking the paint and getting FTs, all they did was chuck and make Sheppard look like Curry

 

[SpurSpike]

Shot selection was just terrible in the 4th. Settling for bad shots in the clutch gave this game away.

 

[Blizzardwizard]

coaches earn their money late in quarters, out of timeouts and out of half-time.


not a coincidence they consistently suck ass in all three areas. should've hired becky tbh.

 

[Coyote2!]

This is the opposite of a "burn the tape" game. This is a "replay repeatedly" kinda game. Fuck.

 

[CGD]

Classic young team that thinks that a big lead is safe. Frustrating as hell, but part of the growing pains.

 

[ShoppingCartFestival]

6'8 Chumpagnie getting blocked by 5'2 Shepard was embarrassing and game sealing. Well, part of it, at least.

 

[sKiN20]

Wow… aren’t gonna win a lot of games where Wemby shoots 21% over all and 0-6 from 3. Yeesh

Just after people said he is a 40% 3pt shooter lmao

 

[SPURt]

He’s put on about 75 pounds

Yep now he looks like this

 

[spursparker9]

Lose to Houston
Denver pounding Lakers
Wolves pounding Jazz

Lose lose lose night.

Oh ya LAC lost as well and Nephew continue to sit after his MVP performance for last 10+ games

 

[timtonymanu]

I hate this bullshit tease from the team when they get big leads.

 

[Guru of Nothing]

Team bus needs to skip the airport and just hit I-10 West, and pull into a Motel 6 in Seguin.

 

[CGD]

This is where I do miss Pop. He’d lay in to these guys.

 

[KDKSpurs24]

Just terrible game from Wemby… 0/4 in the 4th chucking up shots

Stupid ass fadeaways every single time. Falling down every time. Pissed me off so bad

 

[Spursgenius]

Another 16 point lead blown. Gents we have a horrible coach who had no clue. As long as this franchise will limit Wemby to below 30 min a game you will blow leads. Also pathetic shooting team. Barnes is done that steal by Reed shepherd on Barnes then he stands there after the first knock out. He gets the block but no one hustles to get his block. Fox is not playing h like all star and 53 million per year player.

 

[Floyd Pac]

What does castle do well? Seriously, besides turning it over and bricking jump shots

 

[TimmyBuckets]

Yeah, this team definitely was utter garbage today for sure. That’s not even debatable. By team I mean Wemby and Castle mainly and this moron of a head coach Mitch. Luke was great. Julian was great.

However, the NBA needs to be investigated and I don’t mean by their own little law firm like they’re doing with Kawhi. These referees are willfully, handing the rockets the win.

 

[ginobilized]

Fox and Wemby didn't bring the appropriate energy

 

[e78]

Another 2nd half meltdown. Inexcusable.

That said the way refs call wemby is ridiculous. They let defenders maul him with no calls

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Vic absolutely shat the bed on both sides tonight. Long way to go to true top 5 status.
He's wise for his age but he's not up there mentally yet.
Easily lets success and accolades in a certain span of games get to his head and he makes bold proclamations about being the best out there...
Nope. Not even close... yet.

 

[mo7888]

Maybe we shouldn't be worried about factoring in Castle's max extension down the road

 

[Spursgenius]

Stupid ass fadeaways every single time. Falling down every time. Pissed me off so bad

His fadeaways from deep at 7’5 pathetic.

 

[LeBowen]

This is inexcusable.

0-10 to start the 4th.....all but 1 shot was a 3. Instead of attacking the paint and getting FTs, all they did was chuck and make Sheppard look like Curry

It's not that we shot 3s, but that half of those were stepbacks and off the dribble.
We just decided their size is too much for us and that we don't even want to attack the paint.

KD gets a free fastbreak layup after Castle missed a stepback 3 over him and didn't bother to come back.
DFS gets a free layup because noone bothered to run back on defense after Barnes blocked Sheppard on the fastbreak.
Castle defends Amen well and then decides he can play 1v1 and gets blocked, easy basket on the other side.

I can go on and on, we literally gave up at least 20 possessions with low IQ and low effort plays.
