Question to Spurs fans

What’s going on with Jeremy last two games ? he seems like his head isn’t in the game same way as last season , his role got smaller on the Spurs or just fresh after injury ? He clearly isn’t himself

I love yellow rice so very much.

This has nothing to do with anything, but for those of y'all who like to cook, try making crispy tacos by folding the protein in heated corn tortillas, pinning them shut with toothpicks, and deep-frying them. Fry them until they're crispy but still bendable, drain them and take out the picks, and put in the vegetables/cheese/taco sauce. That's true dorado style and it's the best. It's not healthy, but it's a hell of a treat for cheat day or whatever.

Really? He seems like such a benefit! We missed his D.

Anyway, to your point, first two games back of the season. Dealt with a calf injury in the Euro tourney then a wrist thing in camp. Needs to get his bearings.

You know, it's interesting that as hyped as Cooper Flagg was, he really hasn't been must see TV at all. It's very similar to how Cade and Paolo's debuts were. I think that may benefit him in the long run. Not as much pressure.

Oh, dorado as in golden :D, thank you for sharing, my friend, what peppers do you recommend adding to tacos?

Sochan is a negative offensive player, the floor shrinks when he's out there.

He didn’t played a single minute in Euro , did not even travel overseas

I’m not saying he sucks , he just isn’t himself clearly compared to last season , maybe he just needs more time to get into groove

But the D... It's just his second game back... Let's give this a minute. He was super efficient last game with good D...

But that's part of my point. Injury after injury and just back...

Wemby is realizing why AD wants to play with a C.
