THE GAME WAS ACTUALLY MUCH BETTER THAN IT FEELS RIGHT NOW. JUST MAKE SOME FUCKING FREE THROWS AND IT WAS OVER. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORKING.
JALEN LET THEM KNOW REPORTS OF HIS DEMISE WERE GREATLY EXAGGERATED. STILL NEED TO SEE HIM STEP UP AND DEMAND THE BALL AT CLOSING TIME.
ALPI WAS EVERYTHING. WELL, UNTIL OT, BUT STILL.
FVV LOOKED UNDERPAID.
WOLVIE WALKED SO VILLON COULD RUN.
THE VETS PLUS SENGUN SQUAD WAS A GOOD LOOK. MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THERE.
AMEN LOOKED A LOT MORE COMPOSED AND LIKE HE COULD FOLLOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
DONDE ESTA EL KILLA?
CAN’T WAIT FOR TARI TO COME BACK
WE NEED TO GENERATE MORE 3S
BARI HAD A POOR SHOOTING NIGHT BUT OVERALL I’M NOT MAD. GO AHEAD AND WHINE BUT HE ACTUALLY PLAYED GOOD D ON WEMBY. THAT SHOT AT THE END OF THE 4TH WAS AS GOOD D AS YOU’RE GOING TO SEE ON A DUDE THAT SIZE. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAT AND SUCK IT UP. AIN’T MAD HE ATTEMPTED THE GAME WINNER. IT WAS IN THE FLOW, HE WAS WIDE OPEN, AND I DIDN’T HEAR ANYONE COMPLAINING WHEN HE HIT A COUPLE OF THOSE LAST SEASON. THE FUCKING FREE THROWS HURT THOUGH, NGL. I DIDN’T TRADE JALEN AFTER GAME 1 AND I AIN’T ABOUT TO TRADE BARI NOW. HE STAYED WORKING HIS ASS OFF, THE OTHER THINGS WILL COME.
WE LOOKED 10000 TIMES BETTER TONIGHT THAN VS THE MAGIC. IF THIS IS TYPE OF GAME WE’RE GOING TO PLAY ALL SEASON WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH.
IF NOTHING ELSE THE NETS LOST AGAIN TOO SO MAYBE WE’LL JUST HAVE THE TOP 2 PICKS 😭
WE STAY TIPPIN. AMD HOPEFULLY PRACTICING FREE THROWS.

Very proud of Sengun, Fred, and brooks. They battled very hard. Very dissapointed in Jalen and Jabari. If there shots aren’t going down, then what are they contributing? Because it’s not lockdown defense nor is it creating.
Is Jalen’s ceiling really just Lou Williams?
Fun_Proposal4814
Ik I’m hater but I’m getting real tired of the nba commentators hyping up wemby for blocking shots and dunking… what else is he supposed to do at 7’5😂
JayDaGod1206
The team played very well today, just gotta make damn free throws
RunawayXcon
Still tippin on 44s
Please make more free throws
donttouchthtmacaroni
Yeah, just gotta hope they get better as time goes on and they gel more. Looking very far off rn

Straight up, lost the game on FT’s. Other than that (and Bari’s performance towards the end), I was really happy with what I saw from basically everyone.
There’s gonna be a lot of growing pains, this one included. I’m sure Udoka’s gonna keep those guys shooting free throws till the home opener. Onto the next
AdmirableRise3758
Its not the refs fault bari messed up on those last fts. Not the refs faults al p had those bad turnovers in ot. Its not even their fault we missed half our fts.
This was a hard fought game on both ends and any “fan” that thinks otherwise should stop dooming and glooming on here. Ffs man
JaTari_Wemba
21 points from the bench is inexcusable with 0 threes. Fred could have had some in the tank if he did not need to play 45 minutes
Superawesomecoolman
I feel like we are headed towards a basketball hell of Wizards proportions if Jalen and Jabari can’t become anything resembling an above average nba player.
Yulluly
Ime has a lot of work ahead of him, going to be another long year
JaTari_Wemba
pop still a great coach leaving bari open by design
kewe316
We win this game easily if Jabari doesn’t play a single second.
GabeKnows
I am so sick of Wemby already. Gets superstar calls and always complains to the ref every possession.
Rodel1Ituralde
If the time that had spent by Bullock could used with Cam or in the scenario that Tari not injured there was no OT and it could ez win. 11 fuckin minutes for Bullock and there’s no assists or even 2 points shots…
Screen of Sengun wasn’t foul. It seems Spurs will have some kind of referee protection due to polishing more Wemby.
But even all these one point of Bullock was enough thats ridicilous.
frankievejle
Good game. Unforgivably awful from the line. We’ll get better.
Anibunnymilli
I liked what I saw from three guys mainly:
Sengun Brooks VanVleet
I thought Jalen did ok. Stronger in the first half. Jeff Green did really well considering he’s a bench player.
Jabari should be executed.
jb_713
I was at a high school football game and followed from my phone. Bummer. Is this place on suicide watch again?
Nicole223
I love the vet plus sengun line up. Feeding sengun is the right play. Collin can’t guard against sengun post up, wemby can only foul him. Make them FT and game is secured.
conker1264
What do we even do at this point? Sengun looks like the only rookie worth a damn and we don’t have any picks or valuable players to get anyone better.
Are we just gonna be mediocre for the next 5+ years?
lbj11345
It will be very interesting when tari comes back if they bench jabari. Obviously it’s very possible he bounces back before then but from everything we’ve been told ime is the type that would do it
asdsaz1
I haven’t really been into nba before. Watching Alpi’s highlights on youtube got me hooked up for more. It has been 3 years now. Sacrificing sleep countless times(6 am rn). Through alpi I became a rockets fan. 3 years in supporting you guys I am finally confident to say I forgot how dopamine feels like. But at the same time I cant wait to see the next one. See y’all there!
SeanSungASong
I’m sorry but I don’t see how Jalen didn’t get a single call. I thought we were done with refs neglecting him last year but I guess they need to protect their new face of the league. Fuck this.
planetspeed42
I’m gonna hope that this is all a learning curve and they get a little better about every game.
JaTari_Wemba
Nets lost.
Give them their pick for Cam Thomas who dropped 30 again? We desperately need a bench and another shooter.
damnitWOW
LOTS of work needs to be done as a TEAM. I’m not worried like I was with Silas when we went cold since Ime actively talks and addresses things that need to be called out/fixed as a team instead of sidestepping and being nice
TheAfroGod
UNTIL NEXT TIME
lefthandpapi
Tbh liked what I saw from the team except bricking 3s and FTs…
That game was ours in regulation but man we kinda don’t deserve a W shootin 50% from the line lmao
IGotTheTech
People may want to say Jalen got complacent, but lik they say he was making the “best basketball decisions” out there at the end of the game. Dude had 2 assists: one to Sengun, the other to Jabari. Another pass that was a borderline assist and another lost assist because of a terrific Wemby defensive play.
The attention was collapsing on him and normally we’re used to seeing him force the shot, but I think it showed great BBIQ to pass because the defense actually was expecting him to go for baskets. It was great that he got the ball to Sengun rather than try to play into the defense’s hands with the hero ball.
The guy was playing right in the flow of the game actually and some of those passes never quite got to him in overtime to see how he could’ve played more. The team had some messy turnovers trying to move the ball throughout that span.
That’s an enormous positive imo and shows growth. I’d like to see him do much more of that because that’ll actually open up his scoring.
krbashrob
Jalen needs to nut up and demand the ball in close games down the stretch. I think he only had one touch the entire OT. If you consider yourself to be a franchise player, go out there, get the ball, and go to work. He’s way too good of a scorer to be that passive when we need him the most. Screw the system, be the guy you think you are. God it’s so frustrating sometimes
TSkipers
I hate being that guy, but my god it felt like the refs didn’t want wemby to foul out. He had 4 fouls in like the second quarter. How does he not foul out without refs giving him a massive benefit of the doubt.
tonypearcern
I feel infinitely better about the team performance tonight compared to Wednesday. Jabari is in his head right now, Amen is still too raw to play many minutes but was already improving at the end of this game, Sengun looked solid, Brooks looked solid, and FVV looked like what we hoped. Tari will make a big difference when he’s back. Overall, a huge improvement from Wednesday. Can’t ask for much more than that.
deneuvig
Spurs fan here. Great game, Sengun is looking so good, he’s one 3 point shot away to be Jokic like. Jalen was balling too. Fun to see both franchises on the way up after last few years
Bewaretheicespiders
That was an improvement… Spurs made a *lot* of though contested shots. The only answer to that is to make a lot of though shots yourself. I liked what I saw from everyone except Jabari, who needs to wake up or lose his starter spot.
