So KAT being defended most of the time by a 6'4 Suggs...and they don't even tried once to feed him in the post. Modern basketball sucks much.
When this account gets more "And1"s than posts written ...then my life will be complete. And maybe it will be the right time to hang it up. (Achieved on 2017-2018 season)...but still here.

Brunson is really annoying to watch. Too talented but so selfish. Looks only for scoring points. Doesn't make players around him better. Kat and him should destroy almost every defense if Brunson knew how to pass the ball decently.

It's cute how Wemby raises his hand while wide open down low like passers don't otherwise see him lol

PSA we have THREE HEALTHY BIGS BEHIND WEMBY yet for the third game in a row Mitch Johnson has refused to use any of them despite getting thrashed inside repeatedly.

PSA One of the three bigs behind Wemby shoots 3s at 43%. Best on the team. Meanwhile we were 1-8 from 3 before that Keldon end of Q Hail Mary heave.

Spurs with the worst quarter of basketball I’ve seen in a long time, my god. 4/24 shooting that quarter.

Took a half-court buzzer beater just to score 11 pts, the lowest of the season. :lol:

He has 7 assists in the 1st half. Selfish?

I went to a game in Houston and a game in New Orleans last season with my sister. We both agreed the environment in New Orleans was much more enjoyable because the PA wasn't pummeling our ears the entire time. It was like a jump scare every time the PA said "DE-fense" in Houston. We were sitting together and it felt like we had to shout to be heard. When the PA is so loud, it feels like you're not really at a basketball game. By contrast, the game in New Orleans felt like an actual sporting event - like we were in the same place as the players, in other words.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

I mean he’s a score first guard lol. Although he does have 7 assist before halftime. And is currently averaging a career high in assist

We lost 3s, points in the paint, rebounds, second chance points all with three bigs behind Wemby sitting, again, one of whom leads the team in 3s efficiency at 43%.......
