Game Thread Spurs (5-2) vs Rockets (6-2) (Fri 11/07/25) [6:30PM CDT] on Prime Video

Rockets should be embarrassed this isn't double digit lead for them

 

[Kick-Stand]

Just like I said, good shit happens when Wemby gets his ass on the block. Big run to take the lead going into the half once Victor figured out he's a damn center again.

 

[Exstatic]

Obviously still a believer but all this Wemby can be the GOAT talk...I don't know man I don't remember GOAT level players having multiple stinkers in a row like this

MJ was considered a playoff choker his first 6 years. He was Detroit’s bitch.

Spurs played like dog-shit for all but the final 2 minutes of that half and we’re somehow up at half. Ridiculous.

EVERYTHING went right for Houston, every call/no call, every 505/50 ball, and they trail.

 

[spursparker9]

LOL… after this meltdown… Spurs go to the half with the lead

It feels like this run is difficult to maintain....

Whereas Houston still haven't play to their standard yet. KD still haven't get to his usual standard

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

I turned off the game and we winning. That's an absolute sign I gotta stop watching for the good of the team.

 

[SpursBrazil]

Great run to finish the half

 

[SPURt]

The Spurs played like assholes 80% of the first half and still lead. Rockets are in trouble if Wemby decides he wants to play basketball.

He was catching the ball above the FT line during that run. On the block, they’re fucking swarming him.

 

[100%Duncan]

This is Steph’s team until further notice. I cant wait for him not to be the PG. He fucking sucks as PG but there’s no questioning his heart

Your sacrifice is appreciated tbh.

 

[spurraider21]

defense has mostly been really good tbh

and one the one play where sengun bullied wemby and scored, tbh he was in the paint for 4-5 seconds and should have been called

if we didnt give up several uncontested runout dunks off of bad turnovers, the game never would have gotten away to begin with, but good on the guys for continuing to fight

Wemby decided to setup close to the basket and all of a sudden the offense worked again. So don't feel like you're a bad luck charm or some shit lol.

 

[Raven_]

It's all about confidence. Nothing else.

i think it is all about going into specific sets. we are basically going one pass per play on half of the possessions

Did he? He needs to post up more. The comeback more about KJ's intensity than anything Vic did. He did hit one free midrange but he needs to be posting up.

 

[Itzsoweezee]

Wemby: 4 rebounds, 0 free throws, 0 blocks

yes but he still average more than 30 points a game, he had nobody to help him.

"Castle has more dog in him than Wemby" (insert changemymind meme pic)

the amount of times he asks for and gets the ball outside the 3pt line is maddening. i dont mind him taking threes as a trailer or handling the ball in transition, but unless a team is guarding him with their center in isolation, his ballhandling in these spots just continues to be poor.

he doenst have to bang in low post and go for tough hooks, just catch in near the basket and he can just elevate or pass pretty easily from there

 

[Kick-Stand]

He was catching the ball above the FT line during that run. On the block, they’re fucking swarming him.

I don't mind him coming out to the midrange for catches after setting up on the block. The midrange jumper is a huge part of his game.

 

[Paramore]

Get your act together boys

Fox is comingggggggggggggggg

 

[LakerHater]

Mayb this'll light a fire in wemby & he come out playing w sum balls!!

Mitch gotta coach better, instruct how to play against a zone, continue to rebound & be more aggressive on both ends!

 

[Snake Eyes]

Up 1 w/ Wemby looking terrible again. I will take it. I can’t wait to see all y’all eating crow when Wemby reverts back to a top 5 player.

 

[frenchfred]

Wemby decided to setup close to the basket and all of a sudden the offense worked again. So don't feel like you're a bad luck charm or some shit lol.

yes this is not complicated. Try to play close to the basket, if double teamed pass the ball right away to a free 3-point shooter.

good! get swarmed, use your ungodly height to find the right pass.

i'd rather him set up, catch the ball, and then get swarmed than him trying to drive through swarms out on the perimeter

Victor “triple single” Wembanyama
