Boo...my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Does Mitch go to Olynyk or Plumlee first?

 

[rjv]

Im pretty they will sit him again on monday(2nd game of back to back).

that one is actually the first game of the back to back.

 

[dn0774]

Wemby probably tried to placate the med team by wearing those giant ankle braces but they said nope. Hopefully its just a game or 2.

Oh yeah . They should’ve sit him tuesday instead.

Oh yeah . They should’ve sit him tuesday instead.

maybe, but he can log in 20. it is against the Kings after all.

 

[Guru of Nothing]

So how many more games can he miss now before he is DQ'd from any award?

After tonight I think Wemby still has a 3 game pad to remain award eligible.

Playing 20minutes sucks too cause he cant pad his stats with that playing time.

It's the San Antonio Spurs, not the San Antonio Wembanyamas.

Should probably miss that Sacramento game as well since it's on a b2b tbh.

3 games.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Well shit. Mostly wanted to see Wemby play to stay hot on the trail of 65 game, but looking forward to seeing how we play without him.

Free Mason!

Gonna need to play 13 of the final 16 to get to 65, as he's at 52 right now counting the Cup Final.

but it keeps him in the running for the post-season awards. stats won't nmatter if he doesn't meet the minimum games played requirement.

 

[spursistan]

What makes you think the choice is his?

In these 50-50 game decision situations (ie pain tolerance threshold), it is always left to the players to decide whether they could give it a go or not, Wemby clearly felt he couldn't..

 

[wEmBoY]

It's the San Antonio Spurs, not the San Antonio Wembanyamas.

Its better to sit him the whole game than paly him 20minutes tbh. But they need to choose better games to sit him like 2nd game of a back to back.

 

[Mugen]

He'll play on Saturday tbh. Relax

 

[wEmBoY]

Yeah they should’ve pick sac game to sit him.

 

[Rafa]

How much money we save again if he doesn't get DPOY? /s

I doubt that.. They shut him down with the calf longer than he wanted.. A sore ankle can turn into something far worse if he is favoring it up and down the court.. Of if he turns it bad..

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

From what can you say that on? Are you in the arena?

Goddamn isnt @Amuseddaysleeper still in SA? Shame on you man

Nah, fuck that, wemby deserves a rest. They’ve been 4-0 since I’ve been in town for all the games, if anything buy me season tickets to keep up the W’s

If they win tonight we'll have to start a GoFundMe lol

I'm gonna be livid like hell when he misses on his rightful DPOY by 1 fuckin' game. Watch it happen because we are the Spurs: we have good things happening but we need to suffer all kinds of heartbreaks along the way

[RC_Drunkford]

should see a lot of Plumlee tonight

 

[Spursgenius]

Just sit him next week. We have locked in second seed. I would rather be 2 than 1 anyway. Don’t wanna play that clipper team first round. Let Okc go 6-7 against the clips. That’s what it would take us well
