I'm more worried about 2/10 from three. He should never be putting up 10 threes unless he is on an absolute heater, tonight was the opposite

Also, 19 offensive rebounds given up, 21 more shots for the Pelicans...hard to win many games like that.

Spurs deserved to lose with that effort.

His offense sucks if his 3pt arent falling. I think we should accept thats how he’s going to play the rest of his career.

Nope. Losing to a 11-36 team at home with your full squad healthy and available? Nothing worse has happened this season to this point.

Losing after having a meltdown in Houston and barely beating the Jazz that sat their best player so they can lose. And after 3 days of analysis and preparation, this is what our coaching staff comes up with.
 
Not physical enough, you don't say. If only a coach could make a difference.

Not to mention Pelicans already played them close three times even when they were getting their doors blown off by the rest of league..Absolutely alarming stuff about potential playoffs adjustments when that time comes

Yes he is...when he wants to be.
But he most definitely doesn't have Duncan's drive for consistent greatness and doing the little things on every possession.

The first mavs game feels like a fever dream. Thought we would be in for an all timer season
 
bye 2nd seed soon

it seems like falling down the standings is inevitable, terrible loss, arguably the worst loss of the season

why does wemby look weaker when he's meant to be getting stronger in yr 3, cant hold his ground, always stumbling and falling and out of balance

Used to be only a couple teams played him physical because the rest didn't see the Spurs as a team to take seriously. This year the team's strong start got the league's attention so they take more time to scout the Spurs and all came to the conclusion the best way to defend him (and the rest of the team) is to be physical.

It was as bad as blowing the minny and Houston games while up 20. Jazz and Portland Ls at home we’re just as bad

My observation is he wants it.

Problem is when Duncan demands the ball in paint, he gets it mostly.

But not same with vic. so he tries to hover over 3 point line, because thats his best chance to get the ball. He wants stats in the end.
 
Who cares about HCA when the blueprint to stop them is right there for any contending team? I rather we finish in the lower part of the playoff race and not embarrass ourselves to a 1st round exit as a top seed.
 
We need a coach who's going to yell at these fuckers, like old pop, not last decade pop. Are we letting Wemby do whatever he wants or are we going to coach him. Naw bitch, get your ass away from the 3 point line and into the paint.

But still 2 and 3rd seed has a higher chance of moving on in the 2nd round and wcf.

I think it is the type of game Lebron in his early 20s would win by himself inspite of the coach and shitty teammates..Wemby's offense is not there yet (will it ever be?) to do the carrying on a consistent basis.
Timmy's offense was of methodical variety, and so more repeatable in output, even if not explosive in nature. The lack of a reliable go-to-move for Wemby is the real culprit here..
 
we dont have a O system.

Ours is ISO basketball. I am pretty sure worst rated team in nfl has better O system.

For 1st few games, Harper was really good passing the ball for best shot. He is not even passing now. He is the best natural passer out there.

Lebron is GOAT level, Wemby may not be there lets face it.
 
Those 4 consecutive free throws that didn't go in at the end by Victor and Keldon, it's like the basketball gods said "NOPE, YOU AIN'T WINNING THIS ONE."

What a pathetic performance. Great closing lineup too. No idea why guys that help get the team back into the game don't get to close it out. Instead you got Castle out there who did jack shit all game.

Hopefully the Spurs aren't looking to trade with NO, because after just beating them, New Orleans would have no interest in any of the players the Spurs are willing to trade. What another shitty loss. This slide I was talking about is looking real :(.

Mitch is continuing Pop's trend of allowing players to develop bad habits tbh.
