ugly or not the Spurs need that win despite having a bad FT shooting night, and sub offense from Wemby. But that block on Poeltl and just took it like from a little kid, damn!

I know you may not have been able to follow with all the flirting and grab-ass going on between Sean, Toby, and Matt in the booth, but late, in the beginning of the fourth quarter, Toby came out with a report that Castle had aggravated his thumb and would not be playing the rest of the game. That's why everybody's darling Harper was in the game in the crunch time.

And those without Harper color glasses would notice that he played terribly missing the free throws. But then the Harper color glasses team liked the fact that he got his rebound.
Mitch or Sweeney or whomever decided to put Castle back in the game in the last few seconds because they weren't going to let this win get fucked up.

So apparently, he got banged up as well as everybody else playing 5 on 5 football on Monday night with the Detroit Pistons, which everybody in his thread seemed to forget about, just so they could bitch and clang and harangue on their favorite Spurs whipping boy doing commentor cosplay as Coach Pop or what ever it is that makes em spew such cringy statements in the game threads about players.

No the thumb injury update was about Raptor Murray-Boyles

Sucks we can't afford to rest Wemby because of this stupid 65-game minimum rule tbh.

The 65game rule is actually good. If there is somebody blame? Its pop, for inventing load management and skipping games for rest.the NBA implemented the 65 game rule because of superstars like kawhi and embiid sittimg too many games and still winning individual awatds. Its unfair to a player that played 70 to 80 games to lose ghe award to player who only played 40-50 games.

we could have had Max instead we give away second rounder. We wanted Biymbo instead Brian Wrong

Incredibly ugly WIN.
Wemby has to figure out how to be consistent on offense

a year where mvp for taking and the dude slepp walks 1/3 games

Its not that he's sleepwalking, his offensive game is still a work-in-progress tbh. He's trying to be KD when he's more Kareem with range. Once (if) he figures out how to balance his actual skills with what he wants to be he'll be unstoppable.

surprised he hasnt developed a go to move on the blocks or a durk elbow jumper yet. On the coaches.

a hook shot would also be recommended

 

[STAT88]

Didn’t know wEmBoY was at the game.

 

[Fireball]

Ugly win indeed - after the third quarter I did not think they would pull it off. Impressive.
There was a lot of MVP talk for Wemby after the Detroit game, but lets just shut this down. He is still too deniable on offense to be in that spot already.

Some people here saying Wemby is already the best player in the league. Lmao

 

[AusSpur]

When Wemby is tired, he seems to struggle to move his massive limbs around like usual.

Evidently, the grab-assing was even more distracting than we could have imagined!

I guess the Allstar game won’t be competitive anymore…

David Robinson had a great elbow jumper as while one of the reason him and Duncan worked

Watched that movie on Friday night (in prep for the USA/CAN game), great flick.

Also found it funny how they basically replay the whole US v Soviet game in the movie, then it's like "oh yeah by the way the men went on to win gold too".

Indeed. It’s my second favorite sports flick ever. Inspired to give it a watch after the recent gold. My wife hasn’t seen it yet so it’ll be a treat.

you’d think they dramatized aspects of the game like the second period buzzer beater but that’s really how it went
