Goodnight Moon

 

[Knoxxx]

Once the Spurs took 10 straight threes and took about 5 minutes to score in the 4th I turned this stinker off as it was clear the Spurs were just wasting our time tonight.

 

[TimmyBuckets]

Vassell please come back. Please bro.

 

[SpurSpike]

Whole team needs a shave after this loss...

 

[spursparker9]

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.

Fox's max contract has not even kick in yet

 

[Correct Crusader]

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.

Keldon had like 4 butt ass naked 3s in like a 2 minute span and bricked all of them

 

[Chinook]

Knew the game was lost the second they but Castle back in. No idea what made Mitch believe this was Steph's game.

 

[LeBowen]

Wemby was terrible, but their entire gameplan was to stop him.
We have enough firepower to figure something out even without Wemby.
Or we would've if we had a coach.

We're back at last season's situation of not winning any games Wemby isn't carrying.

 

[Uriel]

Seems like lots of teams have their "biggest comeback of the season" against San Antonio.

 

[TimmyBuckets]

It was Spurs vs Rockets, refs and Mitch tonight.

 

[Floyd Pac]

The rockets aren’t even a good team, that’s what makes this hilarious.

 

[scott]

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

100%

Most of the time when we blow these leads it is due to a lack of discipline on offense and just getting stupid with no structure.

Some blame goes to the players, but most of it goes on Mitch.

 

[Arcadian]

Big 3 shot 29%

Make your shots or die, that simple

 

[KDKSpurs24]

I don’t feel bad. I’m glad we lost the game this way. I want them to feel this embarrassment. In hopes that it lights a fire. Team has a LONG WAY to go and lots of work to do. Players, coaching staff AND front office. Starts now

 

[TimmyBuckets]

Mitch if your postgame interview isn’t answering every question with an apology and getting fined for pointing out the officiating, you’re fired.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Wemby just walks off disgusted he will bounce back strong

 

[CGD]

Need a little more nasty:

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Another 2nd half meltdown. Inexcusable.

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

Nah, it's on him partly. He's selling some of the non-contacts with egregious flopping I'm starting to think he's developed a terrible reputation among refs league-wide. All that flailing and falling has turned him into boy crying wolf in the eyes of the officials.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Well, that’s that. Flush it and move onto the next one.

 

[scott]

Also, get well soon Devin

 

[WembyFan]

It all started when Fox started chucking 3's with 20 seconds on the shot clock. Dude is like the most overpaid chucker in the league

 

[Snaq O'Meal]

Another interim coach outcome. This team badly needs a real NBA coach.

 

[KDKSpurs24]

I’m starting to not like Castle as a player on offense. Just barreling into the lane in hopes to bully ball someone or hope to get a foul. That shit is NOT sustainable. Especially in the playoffs

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Wemby just walks off disgusted he will bounce back strong

He should mainly be disgusted with himself. Right now he is Sengun and Sheppard's little bitch - until he emphatically proves otherwise.

Curious as to how you feel about Castle going forward? Is he off limits in a trade package? Do you expect him to improve his shot and decision making?
