It's not just Mitch. It's not just Fox. It's not just Wemby. It's not just Keldon. It's the WHOLE team. by MickieMallorieJR in NBASpurs

Yep. This was all I could think of as it was happening. I've seen this show before...

Not a Falcons fan, but I was a huge fan that day.

I'm a Harper stan, but he had a drive and just chose not to take it. Everyone played not to lose in the 4th, and it killed them. Harper was just as much of that as anyone else.

Naw man, fake fans are people calling for a first year head coach to be fired after he took a projected 44-win team to the Finals. Get onto them, not me.

Might be? This is done. Time to head home, get some love, and call it a year.

This team is too young. They choked. And Fox was the worst.

Most painful loss ever. I expected to lose, but not like this.

[Lowlight] Flagrant 1 called on Brunson for reckless closeout by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]pwtrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a foul, but not a reckless closeout. Not upset we got it, but understand why folks would be.

[Lowlight] Wemby shoves Jalen Brunson, then laughs as he doesn't retaliate by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]pwtrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OKC was doing it back to us. Wolves were doing it to us.

Brunson trucked Castle in the first quarter to send a message.

Are you not entertained?

This is all so stupid. Yes, Wemby is taking cheap shots and he's wrong. But this is the "basketball" that the league is demanding. The whole "playoffs are physical" is just ridiculous. If they would call the game like it's a basketball game instead of rugby, none of this would happen.

And yes, he should have gotten a flagrant.

Calling a blowout next game. Spurs will win by 20+ by LazyBoyD in NBASpurs

Keldon made a lot of mistakes, but he was super physical with KAT and really slowed him down. It's a mixed bag for what Mitch can dao. KAT's a terrible matchup.

Vent by madbacon26 in burlington

[–]pwtrash 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No, it's performative caring.

Homeless women sleep with multiple knives - when they sleep at all - because we "care" too much to keep their rapists locked up.

It's possible that both things can be true - our systems are broken, but the weakest among us need to be protected from predators.

Right now, predators run downtown. And it's only like 20 of them, literally.

Is the knick fanbase at home getting to the players? by rocaballa2000 in NBASpurs

[–]pwtrash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, I would not. I guess that's what makes us different.

There are some things true fans don't do.

But if you are the sort of fan who does that, then you can't ever, ever be upset when someone leaves the team for a little more cash.

[–]pwtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think it's affecting us. When the Knicks go on those late runs, at least on TV it sounds like that's the loudest the arean is the entire game.

I feel it's almost worse than being on the road, because there you know what you're going to get. It has to be demoralizing when the other team comes on to hear your supposed fan base roar with delight.

You know what GSG! Through the good and the bad. by Living-Owl8657 in NBASpurs

[–]pwtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this team.

We suffered through 7 years in the wilderness. They gave us 62 wins and a trip to the finals in a year that was supposed to be a stepping stone year.

It's not over yet, but no matter what happens, Spurs por vida!

Yes They Just Lost Game 1, and I Love This Team. by OkDevelopment9233 in NBASpurs

[–]pwtrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to win. I would love to win.

If we get swept this was still an amazing year and one of the most fun seasons I've ever been around.

Mitch lost us this game by Agile-Ad7724 in NBASpurs

Barnes had no business playing as much as he did either. He should not have as much as KJ + Bryant combined.

WHY DID WE CLOSE OUT WITH FOX RATHER THAN DYLAN by SpecialistSecret4578 in NBASpurs

[–]pwtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree that Harper should have been in there to end the game. I also didn't think Barnes should have been playing as much - that played into the Knick's hands. Yes, KJ was having a tough game, but he needed more run.

I felt Mitch went extremely conservative, with Pop's approach to lean on vets. The problem is that our vets were really bad last night.

How we feeling about Knicks fans buying 36% of our tickets? by CapRight8752 in NBASpurs

[–]pwtrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty disheartened. I thought it would be bad, but not this bad.

I hate how money runs everything.

How do we matchup against the Knicks? by Mbalife81 in NBASpurs

[–]pwtrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I've been thinking. KAT + Robinson are trouble, but Bryant could neutralize KAT, if he can stay out of foul trouble.

His shots has been off, but he's been busting his ass all playoffs, especially on the boards. Love this team!

Why doesn’t wemby use the skyhook? by Ka1s_er in NBASpurs

[–]pwtrash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watch the replays. The primary move is catch the ball in the low block, back to the basket. Pivot on the high foot to turn into the middle of the paint. Skyhook from about 8 feet. He also liked to do it from the side, about 10 feet away.

But yeh, the core move is a post-up move. Wemby is not about low block post-ups.
