Exactly and Wemby impacts the game on both side. And I was gonna argue that without Wemby this team is a goner, except they did make a run without Wemby and the ball movement was even better. Still

Kia MVP ladder currently has Wemby 4th. Fucking trolls. I don’t think he deserves to win it right now, but he isn’t 4th..

 

[100%Duncan]

I’d also prefer for Wemby’s first MVP not to be won by default.

Idk, Id take it tbh. When all is said and done no one is gonna remember that IMO

Luka I am not high on him as a player. I never have been. He’s a complete one-way player. A very skilled and talented one-way player, but still just one way. His defense is absolutely some of the worst in the league.

If we win on Saturday, we move to 20 games over .500, which is a key measure I’ve had my eyes on.

Feels good to be back.

Get the word out. We back.

Exactly not one person will remember. If you win it, you win it.

Yep and 3 up in the loss column right now for that 2 seed

Because the league wants him in the conversation but the fcking spurs organization thinks otherwise.

I don't know anybody talking about Flagg being a "given GOAT." And I live in Dallas. That's ludicrous.

But he is 100% already on a Hall of Fame track and I'm not sure Harper is even potential All Star caliber yet. Which is okay, he can still be an important piece of a championship dynasty.

Just silly to compare the two honestly.

The silliness (in comparing them) stems from the glaring difference in circumstances, not in some cosmic gap in skill.

Well I always remember that Wessbrick’s was stat padding

There are people who talked about asterisks titles for years, and people on this very website who have an obsession with whether or not the Warriors titles are "valid"... you crazy if you think no one will remember that

Damn titles are even more so. Give me 5 asterisks tbh fuck that

Agreed, and the chances Flagg are remotely close to as good as him are beyond minimal so people need to stop sucking him off.

There were some upper sections at AAC tonight that were 90% black.
Loud ass GSG chants at certain points, but the pace of the game kept it mostly at bay.

Oh yeah, I don't care if our titles have asterisks, I'll take 'em all

After that abortion of a joke Laker lebron covid bubble dynasty title, there's no way to asterisk harder than that

 

[Kick-Stand]

I mean Risacher is still young, there is maybe time or a better situation. But has there been a weaker #1 in recent draft history than him? Granted people said he was a weak #1 on the outset he was certainly never touted as generational so maybe it is all to be expected.
Still say he grows into it for at least a solid 3&D wing role player but what a poor #1 to be left with for ATL lol could you imagine waiting just to draw that? Of course the context that Sarr refused to even work out for ATL so maybe they really had limited options possibly unfairly so.

They really fucked themselves letting Sarr bully them. And then drafting Risacher because why get Castle when you have Trae?

Dude, Harper has as much chance on the ROY if he’s starting and playing for a bad team. Harper can score on anybody, is never hurried, knows how to dictate the tempo of the game, sees everybody. Flagg is great, but Harper will be the best PG in 2-3 years as someone here mentioned.

I was referring to normal people.

Spurstalk spent years saying that Pop was a horrible coach. Lots of non-normal people over there.

Fun night. Son had a blast. Felt like a home game with the amount of Spurs fans in the building.

Cooper is a monster.

Spurs have to figure out how to get wemby more involved on offense. You cant score 20 in a half and then just forget about giving him the ball. So many times he would battle for position around the elbow and our wings either ignore him or make awful entry passes.

Castle off the bench was interesting. In theory gives more shooting to the starting line up. That said, even though he had a great game I don't understand only playing him 21 minutes and giving any minutes to JM.

You have 3 lead guards plus vassell and champ. Those JM minutes should have gone to Castle.

I just dont really understand Mitch's rotations at all. I honestly don't think he understands them either.

Overall I'll take the dub but the coaching staff really needs to spend the Allstar break reworking some stuff

 

[Dbreiden83080]

One of the greatest episodes ever

Should have taken a page from Danny Ainge's book when handling Ace Bailey. What are u gonna do? Not report? Who the fuck are you?

Pop did the same thing. He never messed the rotation and just plug in a bench player

We don't have Luka, but you also don't. lol Mavs.
