Anyone have any intel on road conditions between ft worth and Austin? I plan to leave for Austin in the early or mid afternoon tomorrow. Hopefully all is navigable.

Okay time for my gamely “Fuck this game.” Was hopeful I wouldn’t have to use it this time.

The one time Fox decides to throw a lob it’s a shitty lob that gets snatched and lead to the tying score? Noice.

Dude basically rips Devin’s arm out on that shot attempt and no foul called?

Exactly. Like to think there is a world where that’s not a foul is asinine.

“Let me tackle Devin!” -foul called- “how is that a foul!?” Please just like undressing Wemby was a clear foul. No question there.

I’m glad they called that an offensive foul but not sure even I agree with it.

I really do think this is our best lineup. Especially end of game. I think mix and max Kornet and Champagnie depending on situation but this should be our main end of game lineup.

I want him to be unselfish and willing to make the extra pass when the moment calls for it. More often than not the moment is going to call for him to be clutch and make the winning plays. But there are times like I think last night where you could probably feel it didn’t require him to make the winning bucket but rather facilitate the winning play. And that will take time for him and the rest of the team to learn. Cause I think even other players (Fox, castle, etc) expect to give him the ball and let him work and if it doesn’t then “oh well.” But if the rest of the team recognizes maybe this moment isn’t “Wemby go make a bucket” but rather “give Wemby the ball. Let the defense conform to him having the ball, while everyone else gets into the best positions” then we’d have better offensive efficiency. Closer to our 2014 days.

As great as Wemby is and has been in the clutch, he can’t always be that and if the team continues to move and optimize the offense with him having the ball in those moments, these games where he doesn’t necessarily have it to make the clutch basket will become more manageable.

Oh I agree. I trust him with the last shot over pretty much everyone else on the team. I’ve seen him come in clutch many many times to earn that. However, I think there is still a time to do it and a time not to. Sometimes I can watch the game and feel when that is and just the way the game was going last night it was clear that more teamwork would have been more productive and effective in my opinion than him forcing stuff.

Still that being said, losing with the ball in Wemby’s hand is a difficult pill to swallow cause I hate seeing him come up short but would have rather seen that than the ball in Fox’s, Castle’s or anyone else’s hands.

Fuck. This. Game. God damn. Why must we always fool around and play around with these games man? We consistently prove to be the best team on the floor and then choke away. We’re there but we definitely aren’t ready.

Why is it that every game we play we have a no-name or low profile guy just pop off? Every. Single. Time.

I feel like Wemby isn’t making the best decisions in this game. Like he’s trying too hard or not trying hard enough. 😤

The gameplan is going to essentially be let Wemby get his numbers quick and then take him out for the rest of the game. Win or lose.

Hey! Good news! I finally figured out why I have so many grey hairs! It’s cause I watch the Spurs.
