**** stupid.

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


You seem pissed , I can cheer you up…. my Nets lost as well :D


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.


When I get mad I just think about how we have Wemby/Castle/Harper as our young core. Then I feel happy again.

So fortunate to still be able to watch Steph in his prime...dude is a certified killer and one of the most exciting players we will ever see play this game.

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


Without Wemby, this team would legit have 1 win on the year. Lmao.


Much like every other team with out there superstar. But ok we'll roll with it because it's Wemby.

GSW must be legit, beating Lakers opening night, now beating Spurs/Wemby in OT, not sure who else they beat not following lols.

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


Fans are upset because Wemby didn’t get the final shots in crunch time so they don’t care what Fox did the rest of the game. That said, Wemby should get those shots because no one can block his shot.

It’s a typical overreaction in the moment.

"Harden's a guy that averages 26 in the NBA, but if he was on the playground with you he'd only average about 5 because they wouldn't let him get those free throws." --Scott Hastings, April 6, 2013

Yea, the Fox hate is so crazy when he had a decent game. Spurs fan putting him on a hate list. Its not like he went 1 for 15 the entire game.

Lol yeah I am. Losses happen. How this one did was entirely self-inflicted, Steph great game notwithstanding.


If I’m a Spurs fan I would be happy even with this loss , tragedy was game 7 for Pacers fans , loosing Haliburton for a year , just after he knocked down 4 threes in that game and Pacers was en route to win their first ever championship

It’s still hard to get over it and I’m not even a full time Pacers fan :banghead:

Fox is on a max contract. "Decent" is flat out not good enough.

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


Mavs scared me there for a bit in that game. The bottom feeders of the league who need to tank have a duty now to inflate the Clippers' win total, and that disgusts me because I can't stand the Clippers

What numbers are you expecting from him.

Jamal Murray is on a max contract went 5/16 shooting 31% for 15 pts and the Nuggets still won. Obviously Jokic had to score 55 but I'm not seeing the vitriol for Murray from Nuggets fan as I do for Fox from Spurs fans.

The last 2 games showed why curry is still better than Wemby at least. And it’s not just the last 2 games, he is rejuvenated this year

OKC are in their own tier.

I got Rockets 2nd due to them potentially matching up with OKC offensively and defensively. Denver already got wrecked by OKC. And Minnesota the year before. They're fools gold.

I'll bet you free Taco's OR free pineapple on Pizza hehe, that Lakers beat OKC at Lakers home ground.

Lol, Steph at his best is better than average Wemby. Steph might not have another 2 game stretch this good the entire season. And the Warriors needed every bit of it to get a win.
