Game Thread Spurs (31-15) @ Rockets (27-16) (Wed 1/28/26) [8:30PM CDT]

No reason for Wemby/the Spurs to get dominated on the boards with Adams out. Need to see something from this team tonight! Would love a convincing win against a rival.

They got dominated on the boards with him out in the matchup last week tbh.
 
the Spurs problems are pretty easy to fix. Go to any Spurs podcast or space and everybody will tell you the same thing. Which makes it that much more frustrating that Mitch doesn't seem to understand it.

If you can't score, bench Castle and play Fox/Wemby with 3 shooters. Vassell, Champ and one of Barnes/Keldon. Then they can pick & roll teams to death with enough space to operate.

If you play Fox/Castle let Fox be the main ballhandler and use Castle as a screener and roll man. Castle is the best screener in the starting line up. If he rolls he's already in the paint coming downhill. So he either gets to the basket or can playmake out of the short roll, which is a key to create ball movement.

If teams switch the pick and roll, Fox got a big wing on him and can get into the lane.

And post Wemby up in different areas of the floor, instead of doing the same shit all the time. Get him some touches on the left block instead of those top of the key post ups. That stuff is too predictable, you gotta mix it up.
agree

Just don't send him to a playoff contender in the West tbh.
 
Imagine Sochan punking Steph in the playoffs.

I dont fear him against Wemby, those 1v1 vids of then are just funny af
I worry about his defense elevating a team like the Lakers or Suns into a playoff spot and knocking the Spurs into the play-in tbh.

Think he’ll be a rotation player for the suns? Lakers need all the defense they can get so I guess gets PT there

Spurs don’t make meaningful trades with western teams.
 
Let's be real though, the dude had Victor Wembanyama behind him and couldn't save his career here in San Antonio. Playing defense would had gotten him some playing time and he couldn't even fucking do that. I doubt he'll be a world beater defensive player trying to cover Luka's fat ass.

Let's keep those comments to ourselves (until after he's traded).
 
Wemby in dire need of a big showing against the rockets to quell the haters. My wish for the game is most of it to run thru Fox and Wemby and everyone else is fillin the gaps. Time to move on from the Castle riding for a while.

Honorable mention for Harper coming out with force as well
