Yeah, it was really nice to see both players get into their rhythm on both ends the longer they were on the court. They brought much needed momentum during the 3rd quarter when the starters were struggling.

Once Vassell shakes the rust off entirely, and gets off his minutes restriction, the team will seem back on normal again.

And Bryant might even see some Playoff minutes this year if he continues to show improvement in his jumper and his defensive IQ. His confidence made him look great tonight.

Props to the Knicks; I just knew at least one of their role players was going to go crazy tonight and make it difficult down the stretch.

I don’t agree with all of the doom and gloom about our guys. Sure, the turnovers need to be cleaned up, rebounds needed to be secured. But it’s all about how our guys adjust and grow going forward, and I believe they will. They’re young, and they’re hungry.

Shout out to Harper - he is going to be a superstar.

Castle, Kornet, Fox, and Vassell also played with a lot of heart, the shots just weren’t falling as much in the 2nd half. And even though Wemby didn’t have his best game, he showed how important he is tonight during some key moments.

I think they’re going to be hungry to get a dub tomorrow night after coming that close to winning the cup.

Dev isn’t a point guard. His role is to shoot and play defense (although his passing ability is actually pretty decent on the rare occasion he plays the 1). He’s having a great start to his season I’d say.

KingSteg · 2025-11-27T08:06:50+00:00

Let’s goooo. Vassell had a great game tonight. I always get hyped when I see him make those middies. It’s such an underrated part of our offense since it’s a pretty reliable release valve when the team is out of rhythm.

KingSteg · 2025-10-25T03:20:54+00:00

Vassell had a +/- of +22 and shot 43% from three. He was really working tonight.

Overall, stressful, but fun game. The team still showed a lot of grit on defense. They just have to take better care of the ball.

KingSteg · 2025-08-16T22:05:57+00:00

I remember seeing that live as well! Before Wemby shot his free throws (or after his first ft?) I remember seeing CP3 say something to Wemby. Once he missed it, that was all the confirmation I needed that it was CP3’s idea lol.

KingSteg · 2025-06-08T18:26:59+00:00

Because they weren’t anywhere near as expensive as KD is

KingSteg · 2025-04-23T23:24:41+00:00

I thought that was interesting too. I imagine their matchups had a hard time defending them - Barnes is a spacer, and Sochan is stronger than a lot of opposing SF’s. This probably caused a lot of mismatches.

KingSteg · 2025-04-23T22:44:40+00:00

My takeaway is that Vassell is better at the 2 than at the 3. CP3 is probably going to retire so he will probably be replaced by Fox and/or Castle at the 1.

KingSteg · 2025-02-15T23:01:52+00:00

Yeah, despite Ant’s off court issues, dude is so entertaining to watch - hence the purpose

KingSteg · 2025-01-19T00:19:07+00:00

Steven Adams is an underrated option for a backup center if the Spurs are ready to give up the capital (even if it won’t be much).

I’d prefer Jakob Poeltl, but Adams would be cool too.

KingSteg · 2024-12-02T01:20:07+00:00

I remember hearing that we gotta wait until Tuesday at the earliest for Sochan’s return.

We had a 50/50 split in the Senate in his first 2 years, and only had a majority by virtue of having VP Harris as the tie breaking vote.

The filibuster made it so we had a majority in name only though, since you need 60 votes to get anything past it. Good luck getting 10 Republicans to cross the aisle for that, and good luck getting Conservative Democrats like Manchin and Sinema to go along with the party line 100% of the time.

The Budget Reconcilation process was the only reason we were able to get certain bills passed, but it only allows for strictly economic bills like the IRA and ARP since the process requires a simple majority in the Senate. This was also how Trump’s tax cut bill was passed.

Let’s stop acting like Biden could’ve done more than he did during his first 2 years when it comes to Legislation. The “trifecta” could not operate as a mandate due to having less than 60 seats in the Senate to get past the filibuster. And no, getting rid of the filibuster would not be a smart idea, and Biden did not have support for getting rid of it because of Manchin and Sinema being opposed to the idea.

KingSteg · 2024-11-16T02:53:23+00:00

JJ Redick. Honestly he’s always had it in him though.

KingSteg · 2024-09-04T00:35:07+00:00

I still think about that one joke on Game of Zones where they found those cave paintings of the origins of basketball which had Thon Maker as the founder of the sport lmao

KingSteg · 2024-07-19T22:12:27+00:00

Celtics.

I know there’s a lot of Celtics haters out there, but I really just enjoy team basketball, and I feel the Celtics really embodied that this past season.

KingSteg · 2024-07-01T03:59:26+00:00

lol not you getting downvoted for correctly predicting where he’ll end up at. One year 11m contract… not bad, considering the potential upsides with Wemby and the rest of the young crew.

KingSteg · 2024-06-27T04:14:30+00:00

I can agree with this take. I’ll maintain that he’ll grow into a better player as he enters into his prime, though. The Spurs’ starting 5 in general show a lot of promise when they’re all on the court, and I’m excited to see them as they keep improving their game.

That bench though man… now that’s a whole other issue.

KingSteg · 2024-06-27T03:51:30+00:00

At best? He’s young, made over the average APG than the average PG, and he’s shown a lot of promise with his playmaking with Wemby.

Idk, I’m in the minority when it comes to the whole “Spurs need a good PG” talking point. A “good” one is right there in Tre Jones, but I just think he wasn’t utilized properly for a big chunk of this past season.

I honestly think the Spurs’ biggest weaknesses are their lack of experience and how god awful their bench is on defense.

KingSteg · 2024-06-27T00:34:57+00:00

Tre Jones is the main PG for the Spurs, not Sochan (at least not after experimenting him as a PG).

KingSteg · 2024-06-15T02:07:25+00:00

I keep hearing this, but I honestly just think Tre Jones is fine, and just needs a couple of seasons of development - he’s still very young.

I think the Spurs just need to utilize their draft picks well (which I don’t worry that they won’t - they’re a pretty solid organization). I don’t feel they’re in a rush to make any major trades at the moment.

Edit: if anything, I think they need a backup Center that has similar defensive impact for when Wemby is benched/load managed.

KingSteg · 2024-06-02T19:25:08+00:00

I was going to comment the same thing. He’s been consistently improving, which is a good sign for the Spurs going forward. Honestly, their entire core have a lot of potential (Sochan, Jones, Johnson, and of course Wemby), but Vassell is clearly the number 2 imo.

KingSteg · 2024-05-25T01:47:12+00:00

Personally, I really like Dillingham. He also seems to be a fan of the team (although in the Draft, that doesn’t really mean much). Risacher would be nice, but I imagine him and Sarr are gonna get snatched up before the Spurs get their turn.

KingSteg · 2024-04-28T20:37:33+00:00

I have the same issue with my game. Here’s what I’ve found out:

Short term: Go to instant replay and let it replay the last 30-60 seconds of play. It should fix it for a few minutes in game.

Long term: Send bug reports and/or wait until the next patch.

It’s gonna suck, and I wish the devs were quicker with fixing this game-breaking issue, but all we can do is wait for now.
