The refs were horrible mainly in the beginning of the 4th none the less spurs shot 4 unnecessary 3s and had 4 bad turnover/ plays in the 4th as well,I also believe KJ had a not too good end of 3rd and 4th and coach kept him in way way too long
VICTOOOOR on te soutient !!!
I will admit the warriors are better than their record says however, the ref's definitely played a big part in that win last night for them. I mean they were calling a foul just if you were chasing curry around. That is unacceptable, especially in our home building and then to add injury to insult, some of our players were getting raped out there and they were sucking in their whistles. In general I feel like they have been unfair with foul calls Particularly with Victor and castle this season But last night was just horrible.
It was a good game . I understand no one wants to lose but this is a very bad time to start losing team chemistry. It’s the major advantage that yall have over most teams . It will be the reason why the spurs go all the way. Like Steph said they just started imposing their will. It went from yall playing your way to having to play their way . The warriors are a super experienced team with a lot of legends . Could yall have executed some things better ? Of course but unfortunately a lot of the problems here are going to be based on experience … it’s a learning curve issue that will work itself as yall grow as a team and learn to read and trust each other better . . I thought it was a really strong game on everyone’s part 🤷🏿♀️ I know everyone’s a little disappointment but you’re doing fine.
Sign of a young team is letting people back into the game and not taking care of the ball. These boys will bounce back!
He’s low key calling out his team!
his turnovers aren't helping as well…
Looked like Wemby was frustrated letting Curry get away with such a performance and the W. Looking forward to the rematch!
That shirt gotta be an XXXXXL
dude need to complain to the refs more🥹he be getting 30 free throws if he gets the kind of calls Curry and Sengun get
What's the deal with Fox? He seems to disappear on the court
He is smart.
Castle’s foul trouble, late game rebounding, TOs, perimeter defense got the best of us.
Turnover was the problem, okc killed warriors. Spurs had a lead in started being careless with the turnover. So we as spurs fans deserved to lose the game.
Love the competitiveness, you can tell he doesn't like losing…him and Castle are dogs
The future of NBA. That dude is the complete package. Skills, IQ, physical. Like Jokic, he is here to stay for while. Go Spurs!
Wemby needs to stop doing too much dribbling. He’s too high up, easy to swipe the ball when he’s on it. Other than the turnovers, he’s honestly freaking perfect and i’m looking forward to what he can improve with his game.
Blowing huge leads seems to be a theme with this team. That and not being able to defend the 3 point line. Really frustrating to watch last night. If we don't fix these defensive issues by playoff time, we will have a quick exit. Teams will make us pay.
It's so frustrating wemby has to get easy buckets at 7'5 he makes it so hard get the ball in the left and right block get the opposing team in foul trouble but he doesn't want to do it he wants to stand up top and work his way to the hoop it doesn't make sense they're going to steal the ball from him and then he's going to get charging calls get in the block
Castle's problem he keeps shooting threes he's not a three-point shooter work your way around the court under the three-point line He's too strong he could get his shot whenever he wants but he keeps shooting threes stop making it hard for yourself
A mature statement paired with childish behavior on the court really makes for a striking contrast.
He needs to hear more honest truths, not just praise, and stop acting out of childish thoughts and a desire to show off that end up hurting the team — that’s the only way he’ll change.
Not saying one thing and doing another.
That’s exactly what Pop used to do in the past.
The Spurs fought on their own, but they are better than the Warriors, despite their youth and Curry. Fox is not physically ready. At high intensity, he's not there yet. Castle is already a top-level player, as he was last season, and he's improving. Fox needs to average 25 points, like Victor, and Castle and Harper need to average 20 points to ensure 90 points per night, with the others averaging around 15 points because they are less consistent. The Spurs are starting to play well this year. They just need a third consistent strong player per night, either Harper or Fox.
sochan shouldve been playing for fox. Put him on curry. Sochan is a defensive beast and offensive rebound unit. only 6 minutes is unacceptable when defense is struggling. I dont understand the coaching at all.
Not only did I see Hacka Vic but he was kept out of the paint from FOUR Warriors under the basket in the paint! How is that legal defense?? It turns the Spurs into a three point only team. Spurs need more POWER FORWARDS BAD!!
mitch is a fkn clown
It was Wemby Castle and Kornet !!! Wemby was left alone in many plays where He needed defense!!!
Vic was great on defense, as usual, but it's troubling that he's reverting back to bad habits on offense. Too many turnovers, and bailing GSW's defense out with a questionable shot selection. I believe he will eventually put it all together, but he's not there yet.
Can we start giving him the ball closer to the basket ? Can this team learn how to guard cuts and when players move off ball…
Wemby my fav player but u spurs fans are crybabies yall are to entitled crying over every lost like they going go 82-0
Warriors experience got them the win, the Wemby non-calls they will come soon.. The team fought to the last second.. This one was on the coach
34 freethrows? 25% of them were so ticky tack.
Wemby you're the main focus for the opponents every night, as a franchise player you CAN'T do lazy pass and dribbles!
6 of those 8 turnovers were very avoidable!
Wemby 8 TO fox 6 TO AND YOU WONDER WHY YOU LOST possesion is key ball is precious
This game showed our lack of experience in Coaching. Mitch is young and learning this season, and it’s the reason why we will only go one or two rounds in the Playoffs this year. Sochan should have played much more. He’s our second best defender and needs to be out there against a sniper like Curry and Jimmie Butler. That’s bad coaching right there.
Congratulations to Wemby and Steph Castle for doing what NO other Spurs duo has ever done in history! The refs handed the game to the Warriors with ridiculous touch fouls. Curry shot 16 free throws himself. Wemby gets hammered in the paint all game and can’t Buy a foul call from the refs.
Free throws:
Warriors – 36
Spurs – 16
That’s lopsided. We outscored them in the paint by 30.. yet they get 20 more free throws than us? The refs won this game. Just like the Lakers game. This was rigged.
As for the 14 turnovers, that means we should have lost the game by over 20 points.. but it was close because of the impressive TWO Triple Doubles by Wemby and Castle. Yes, they need to work on that..
But the point is, the Refs favored the Warriors like a corrupt judge favors the Mother over the Father in family court.. running the FLOW of the courtroom and denying the Father his evidence, while allowing anything from the Mother.
Sports is rigged and it’s especially frustrating when refs do this in front of paying fans. If they were FAIR, we would have won this game, despite 14 Turnovers. That’s how good the Spurs are.
getting taught a lesson by HoFers and learning from it is how u get better in the league
