Why would it be for Wemby? he drew a clank of a shot at the FT line, you gotta go for something different IMO


And that's why they lost

Wemby has to be more selfish and really establish that the Spurs are his team. I'd rather lose on a Wemby pullup over some guy that's 8" shorter than have Fox take a contested fading shot from 18 feet.

Fox has no bag in the mid range. I don't know why people are shocked by his choking. He had one good year in 2023 and people suddenly believe that 2023 is the real Fox and not the other 7 years he played in the league

This is why everyone should be rooting for The Clips in every game they play (except your team obviously)

I mean, he's 11th, so you were only a little wrong. Not worth laughing at.

Once Victor starts playing with more feisty aggression it really is game over for the rest of the league.

Also boo refs for disallowing that dunk. Killjoys.

Completely neutralized most by his own teammates.

What a **** **** game not taking best advantage of our best weapon. Yeah let's not involve him in the outcome on O in the final two possessions.

**** stupid.

Who wants Vassell? I'll throw in a bag of pucks.

I don't think there will ever be another guard that size that will impact the game as much as Steph, he's a one of one.

Curry is in my top 10 and has been since 2022. He isn't wrong.

With all due respect, chips matter in terms of legacy, and I cannot rate the likes of Luka ahead of Curry.

His longevity and game changing 3 ball is all time historical stuff.

Only Steph and Joker right now in that list have any legitimate claim to be in the top 10 players of all time

Wemby is the DPOY. He can't do everything for the team.

Absolutely, OKC are on pace to win at least 3-4 rings (minimum) with the Paul George trade, esp with Sam Presti's extremely uncanny (and annoying) to pick talent via the draft.

I am more grateful than ever for The Celtics winning a chip in 2024, hard not to imagine OKC having a Bulls like Dynasty run over the next decade plus

He didnt hit the game winner but offensively he played the same as Wemby. He was not a net minus this game.

Without Wemby, this team would legit have 1 win on the year. Dude is the MVP for dealing with a team that should be in the hunt for next years number 1 pick.

I don’t know how any Spurs fan can stay angry for long once they calm down and remember they have Wemby for (hopefully) next 15 years plus or so.
