[BacktoBasics]

Lmao. This game is over. Hate losing to faggy ass tryhard teams smh

Thank god you weren’t coaching. You’d have put the bottom of the bench in halfway through the 3rd.

@scott this fanatics deal stuff?

Nah, Wemby signs a lot of stuff… but people have been taking advantage of it so he may be deciding not to sign stuff on the road like that. I don’t remember if it was last year or his rookie year, but a little kid in BKN in the front row was in a Wemby jersey, Wemby did a jersey swap and a week later it was up for auction.

Wemby 12 pts 8 rebounds 3/12

Yeesh…

This is how good things lead to a slow death tbh. Wemby discovering American capitalism…

Oops just kidding scottie

Great hard earned win.

Julian is going to be the Danny Green of this new Spurs generation.

Harper has that Ginobili intangible that miss FT rebound was Manu esque.

Wemby played lazy as hell idk if Duren tired him out but he still was able to impact the game on the defensive of end. Insane he could shoot 0-14 and still be the most impactful player on the court.

 

[Sugus]

Wasn't really a tough shot though... just whiffed badly.

It was a big-sidestep, contested 3pt shot - tough shot to make especially given the time constraint. He missed badly, sure, but his first look that Castle contested was almost certainly a make

 

[Kick-Stand]

With that win the Spurs officially clinch a winning season

 

[thiste]

Great teams know to win ugly. We're learning here.

That win is precious in the standings.

 

[Uriel]

With OKC playing Denver on Friday and so decimated by injuries right now, we could be the 1 seed in the West by the end of the week.

(This is if OKC loses both their remaining games this week and we win both games in New York.)

 

[SupremeGuy]

Fucking wtf

We should not have won that game. lol

Haven't seen that in a while.

Mitch better call Austin cause no goddamn way should we play our starters and special reserves tomorrow night.

 

[Floyd Pac]

Jakob was owning Wemby honestly, he moved his feet well and bumped him off his shots

Really dude?

 

[Sugus]

Wemby with surprisingly the highest +/- despite the shooting woes at +19, goes to show how much of a human cheat code he is with his defense alone.

And not surprisingly, our dear Jakob Purtl with by far the highest mark on the Raptors at +18. He was a menace tonight, very physical and made 5/5 FTs -- much more than can be said of our players

 

[Fabbs]

Been wanting to see a win where Timmy Duncan 2 had an average or bad game. (Wemby)

Got it.

*That final defense giving up that clear of a trey shot is absolute ass.

Considering how much these players had to have been banged up after playing 5 on 5 football with the Detroit Pistons Monday night, I couldn't expect anything better. Congratulations.
Castle with the sore thumb. Keldon with the sore shoulder and everybody had to have bumps and bruises from that bullshit that the league is allowing teams to do to Wemby and the Spurs.

They don't want us to win anything this year, and they want our players to leave the team. It's a message being sent loud and fucking clear.

Fucking Riged League.

Wait first I’m hearing castle sore thumb. when that happen? (I know it’s been an issue all year talking recent exacerbation)

 

[Sugus]

Wow, crazy to hear Darko say that they were expecting the French Vanilla lineup and had Poeltl come off the bench specifically to address it.

Mitch said it a couple games ago, the scouting reports are getting deeper now for sure. Crazy to still eek out the win and be on a 10-game dub streak in spite of everyone having a target on the Spurs

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

I dipped to get some work done and I thought for sure Mitch had emptied the bench when I got back. So you're not wrong

Castle knows if he even touches BI in that moment that's 3 FTs. Is that what you wanted?

[Hyrup]

Seen on Raptors sub: "Sad loss but at least Poeltl is looking like Poeltl again." Is that a Raptors fan, or a ST comment circa January 2022?

 

[spursparker9]

Never easy on the road....A nice win after all said and done

 

[scott]

Jak was a beast tonight and hit his FTs too… happy for the dude, he was a good soldier.
