Game Thread Spurs (33-16) vs Thunder (40-11) (Wed 2/04/26) [8:30 PM CST]

[SpurPadre]

One of the more underwhelming 10 point wins you’ll see.

 

[TimmyBuckets]

Refs are definitely not giving Castle any calls

They never do.

 

[couchman]

Well that was very unsatisfying but I’ll take the W

 

[Trifecta]

Mitch looks like he has as much impact on the game as we do in here.

He’s just practicing for the ASG coaching gig!!!

 

[CGD]

Are these guys taking pity on the Thunder?

No, classic young team non-sense of playing up/down to competition

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Refs are definitely not giving Castle any calls

Probably because he’s developing a reputation of just trying to barrel into everybody.

 

[spursistan]

Textbook moral loss if i've ever seen one. This team can't blow out five guys off the street if their lives depended on it.

 

[spursparker9]

I am so over the Vassell experience.

2/10 FG today. 1/7 from 3

5 pts, 3 rebs, 0 ast in 25 min !

 

[spurraider21]

tuned into the last 6 minutes or so and man castle came up clutch. fox also with a couple of late steals. Vassell just ice cold man.

 

[Naga]

Even if the Thunder lose they would have the moral victory keeping it close

True, it was a lose/lose for the Spurs though. They could have blown them out by 50 and nothing positive would have been taken from the game.

It was very telling though. An extremely stupid team, top to bottom.

 

[TimmyBuckets]

OKC made the under

Wasn't it 9.5?

 

[Paramore]

terrible game

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Honestly, I can't wait for playoff Wemby. Dude has less than half the shot attempts Luka or SGA have, but he's so efficient and a monster on both ends. I shit on him wanting him to be the GOAT already, but him, and the Spurs, are playing with 1 arm tied behind their back. His minutes are constantly limited because they're being careful, as they should be, but if he averaged the attempts SGA and Luka had, or even just close to it, he'd be the MVP without question.

He won't, because his desire and actual play are not always there.

 

[heyheymymy]

after first exhausting all possibilities to lose, Spurs reluctantly win basketball game

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

You all know if Chet played, we’re talking 25 point Spurs win

 

[Splits]

shittiest win of the season. fuck you Mitch you little pussy

 

[scott]

Drum does not deserved to be banged tonight

 

[spurraider21]

great win while shorthanded without Harper, Olynyk, and Sochan tbh

 

[Paramore]

but we won , tahts ok

 

[poopbox]

In the first half we had plays with Castle taking the 3 after two time-outs, just that is a fireable offense.
All the intangibles are horrible.
Time out plays, challenges, rotations, not being a presence during games...

I agree with everything you say but I am willing to overlook it cause coaches have to grow into greatness just like players do. Nobody goes into a job with all the HOF badges.

But I do think there has to be some sort of clock to where the organization says if these types of traits aren't being shown by the coach by x amount of time we need to move on.

We focus a lot on players but there is no doubt that coaches often times hold teams back.

Pistons swapped coaches and went from all time losing streak to number 1 in the conference in two years...

 

[Dbreiden83080]

OK, well at least we didn’t lose. Get on to the next one.

 

[Uriel]

Wasn't it 9.5?

Was it? It was 10.5 last I checked.

 

[TimmyBuckets]

He won't, because his desire and actual play are not always there.

Nah he will don't worry. I'll make sure of it.

 

[Paramore]

Wemby with all those misses-game

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mitch is not a good coach at all, gonna cost us dearly in round 1
