As fun as that was, Houston’s not going 3/22 in a quarter again. Credit the defense for making it a nightmare and destroying their rhythm, but they’re gonna need to play a full 48 minutes next time

It was a direct inverse of the game last week when we scored 12 in the fourth (they scored 13 today).

Both teams probably feel like they left 2-0 on the table. I think these teams are pretty closely matched.

And if league was fair, Spurs would be getting a least 15 more foul calls.

Still don’t like Wemby talking to punk ass KG when TD and Admiral are right there but it is what it is.

I never want to see one of you nerds put Castle in a hypothetical trade ever again tbh.

He would be legit Top 12-15player in league if he (a) cuts the Westbrook turnovers and (b) get a semblance of midrange game without even going above league average on 3PT

 

[Kick-Stand]

God Steph's a monster defensively. Was making life hell for Durant and Sengun. I swear it's like watching Alvin Roberston out there just pissing the other team off when they can't move him, can't get a good shot off on him, can't throw a pass in his vicinity, etc.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Hell yes! Wemby was ferocious!!!
28 points
16 REBOUNDS
5 INSANE BLOCKS!!!

And beyond the numbers, it was the energy, the effort, the intensity, the leadership. Wemby was the total package tonight.

Chuck saying Kelvin Johnson.

He said "Kevin", then Kenny then corrected him saying "Kelvin!"

the best part of the game was everyone going at reed on like a 10 possession streak . for the record, i don't hate reed, but he's such an obvious defensive blackhole, you absolutely HAVE to go at him.

How do we know he hasn't talked to them? They're lowkey guys.

 

[Robz4000]

Give Keldon some credit, too. He was bullying Sengun for a hot minute there.

6MotY easily tbh.

 

[JBAllDay]

He thinks about every answer, and the delay just highlights that. LMAO I love this show

Lol that delay was bad. The beginning of the interview he looked like he was in his feelings but was more normal after a couple of questions

 

[kjhip1]

Amen thompson literally got shook like chet. he was terrified to shoot

 

[Robz4000]

There is too much talent on this team, Robz. It will take epic level incompetence to mess things up, tbh . Even with obvious holes and inexperience, easily the best roster since 2017.

Still maintain if this team falls into the play-in they don't make the playoffs, but winning games like this will keep them in the top 6 so they don't have to worry about it tbh.

Tbf, he's terrified to shoot regardless of the matchup.

Amen Thompson is a truly tragic shooter. Sochan levels of bad. He's not surviving a playoff series as lead ball handler tbh, Rockettes should sell high on him while they can

 

[Robz4000]

Same. Castle and Harper are untouchable tbh.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

hopefully Steph stops being our primary ballhandler/decision maker tbh

I can’t for the life of me, understand what the purpose was in trading for De’Aaron Fox to not allow him to do that?

 

[Snake Eyes]

I’m not sure if that was Castle’s best career defensive half. I will say it was his most impressive defensive half guarding both Sengun & Durant. Two totally different players and doing a fabulous job. Props Mr. Castle!!!

 

[Robz4000]

Spurs shot 23% from 3 and won by double-digits on the road again a good team….. Imagine if we had shooters tbh.

If all it takes to get Klay Thompson is matching salary Spurs should be on the phone right now tbh.

well now... 23 shots attempted is a regular kirby day

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Agreed, but he has to be used correctly. And for the most part, Mitch has failed him in that aspect.

 

[Robz4000]

Hard to trade that defense tbh. He's their Castle, just gotta live with the bad.

he had some really horrible defensive possessions as well, let's not start sucking each others cocks quite yet

 

[Sugus]

Man what a good fucking win. Wemby masterclass in the clutch. Castle ace defense. Harper with the clutch buckets too. Beating Sleazy Udoka & Co on their turf, AND keeping the 2nd Seed in the win......!!!!!!!!

The team needed it badly
