Interesting Sheppard stats going into tonight:

18.4 PER for a 6'2" guy
.648 TS% for a guy who never shoots FT's
highest STL% on a team full of ball hawks

Lookin' nice!

I'll be honest, I choke up a bit every time I see Pop's Banner in the Spurs rafter.

What an extraordinary coach and human being. I miss seeing him out there on the sidelines.

The whole NBA community (not just San Antonio) is much richer for Gregg Popovich and his coaching and wisdom over the decades.

Bouncing back from a very tough start to the season too (quite a few declaring him a bust)

Nothing pleases me more when a player (especially a young one) proving his haters wrong!

Well damn. Good effort, Charlotte.

Think we’ll be hearing “Knueppel Triple” a lot in the future.

yeah...

And with him our Spurs Way basketball seems to have disappeared.

Dumb ISO plays, getting beaten to boars in our end, coaches quiet as opponents get twice as many calls as we do... *sigh*

Someone needs to go Serbian. For nostalgia and honour and well necessity.

Fox proving he still has a vital role with The Spurs. He and Wemby are the only players giving them any offense so far.

There's a little out of the way place I go to for cookies and coffee in Dallas, and I was there Wednesday, and they had a new picture on the wall of Doc Rivers with two of the people who work behind the counter. It had to have been taken in the three or four months since I was there. He must be a super nice guy to meet in person.

Watching Wemby drain that silky smooth pullup middy, it reminds me of how people used to argue Shaq couldn't shoot just because his hands were so big. Dumbest sht I ever heard

We have got to get the dumb players and dumb head coach off this team

Maybe that's why no one can hit a bullseye with a dart!

Oh, wait...

Correct. Shaq couldn't shoot because he was a bad shooter.

The Clippers are enjoying playing against this Mavs squad because their shaky guard play can’t punish L.A.’s slow pace and thin guard rotation.

lol wtf… being able to save it off the backboard to yourself like that is wild. Wemby is a freak.

Oh! My first time hearing Brian Sieman this season! I forgot about this guy! What a treat!

Correct. Shaq couldn't shoot because he was a bad shooter.

Story has it he fell out of a tree at 11yo and lost a lot of flexibility in his wrist. Not sure if true but he shoots like that's true lol.

Wemby owning Draymond… inject it into my veins.

Who wins?
