Game Thread Spurs (43-16) @ Knicks (38-22) (Sun 03/01/26) [12:00 PM CST]

Looks like there was some signs of life right before the end of the half. Hope they regain focus. The game is well within reach.

Fox max contract has not even kick in yet....hope his max contract won't be the worst in spurs history

it will have to be moved in two years assuming that Harper develops as we plan. Fox is too inconsistent right now but I believe the real issue with this team is that we don't know how to screen very well, Wemby maybe being the worst at it, that doesn't help how guards to get inside

4 Wemby TOV in the first half doesn’t help either.

Game is winnable if we play clean, play our brand of basketball. Knicks and refs won’t make that easy though… but we are a resilient bunch (we, being the Spurs… not the unhinged, hypersensitive members of BaselineBums game threads )

One problem with too many weapons and evening out the offense is who will step up? Don't be like the 2015 hawks lol

 

[ace3g]

1st 5 minutes will be telling.

 

[kjhip1]

cant wait for Silver to gift us with a top 4 pick, if the hawks can stop winning

Fox gonna become one of the most hated Spurs ever if/when he costs them a Playoff series playing like this tbh.

He is going to get Richard Jefferson-level of hate..For a score-first PG, he's been such an underwhelming number 2 option so far..Derozan was more consistent than him..

 

[Sugus]

We really need Plumdog to sit everyone the fuck down in a practice session and teach them how to set solid screens FOR EACH OTHER. Not just Wemby or Kornet, the guards and wings too.

A major part of the Warriors' success is that they can run so many off-ball screens and actions. Meanwhile we seem incapable of pulling off a basic PnR with the roller actually going to the rim, much less a backscreen to get shooters really open. If we're not getting transition opportunities and flaring to the corners, we basically can't generate good looks from 3, let alone make them.

Let's get pure and ethical, fellas.

I noticed the Knicks screens are tight and the Spurs barely use them

I was a bit hangry earlier

Here's some intentional constructive words before they start playing again and I turn back into Mr. Hyde

- Harper needs to get schooled by Brunson. It's part of the rookie evolutionary cycle. This learning will
- We need to figure out how to play against bigger veteran teams like the Knicks. We are killin' most younger teams, btw.
- We are due for an off-night. I'm feeling entitled to only getting wins and playing great after that Feb run

Shut up! I am NOT sensitive.

Concentrated toxicity in game threads is better than being used in the outside world, perhaps

Baselinebums is doing society a service

Sir, have you taken a look outside?

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Fox and Castle burying the Spurs

 

[ace3g]

Another 5 point swing...

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Steph has absolutely nothing out there today offensively.

[ginobilized]

Nice D Wemby

 

[BigTimeBum]

Foolish foul by kat

 

[Coyote2!]

Wemby mad

 

[kjhip1]

as he should, fastest guy on the court shooting 3s like curry and bricking them like Antoine Walker

 

[ace3g]

This is a game I always talk about where you have to search out bench players when main rotation is off.

 

[Trifecta]

what is up with our matchups on D???

 

[ginobilized]

Champ is brain dead today

 

[Rafa]

Castle on Towns is interesting by, has it been this setup the whole game?
