GIVE WEMBY THE BALL AT THE END OF THE GAME COME ON COACH DO BETTER ITS SIMPLE
HOW DOES THE BEST PLAYER NOT TOUCH THE BALL THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME
Very stupid coach maybe hire a European coach instead of all American stupid coach like Mitch and ty Lue very much.
If you wanna win keep Wemby involved it seems like we cant get no whistles unless its on us, only take away from this game is fouls called on us when we have momentum, cant wait till Dylan back he brings that young finesse movement through the paint that were missing, like Ja
Boy is pop needed this guy is not the coach for WEMBY
Spurs culture is shifting to one of complacency and contentment. Winning or losing becomes almost irrelevant
6.4 left no timeouts , “it was a long time” come on coach!!!! Smh
Spurs Coach, Mitch Johnson looks like he could be (Actor 🎥) Terrence Howard's son. He looks like a younger Terrence Howard 🤔.
Wemby gonna go away with this line up. If they don't accept him as the best player on the court then they're gonna waste his career.
I think Wemby would have made that shot and Fox had just missed his shot before that…I don’t get it…
Needs to let Fox run the offense create plays to castle and Wemby.
This guy isnt a coach. He doesnt help his players winning games. Plenty of turnovers, not a single 3 straight minutes with good decisions in the last 5-6 games. Benching Fox and Wemby at the same time. Not enough plays set for our best players. Every other team maximize their abilities to beat us. We don't do. I'm concern we don't have in the near future a coach for the talent we possess.
Spurs are better without fox. Run the offense through castle and wemby. Fox was a waste of money.
When wemby is on the court he needs to touch the ball EVERY PLAY!!!
Fire this coach for giving it to Fox smh
What a dumb coach, a simple lob would have ended the game
it doesn't matter!! coz the chef is cookin!
Folks I saw MJ lose to the Pistons time and time again. Especially in the playoffs when it hurt the most. This is just a part of the young Spurs development. We lit 🔥
I am a Warrior fan however I root for both this coach and the Spurs to do well. The coach’s demeanor after this emotional loss is impressive.
Curry for MVP
Too much criticism on the final shot. You can’t hinge your win or loss on a final shot. This was game 2 and a cup game at home. Warriors focused on getting back to being a winning team and Spurs getting a lesson as a young improving team. The Warriors had trouble every possession in booth games.
How do you give fox the ball after he misses a jumper then fouls curry on the defensive end. Why the HELL do you give him the ball again for the final shot. Wemby never got the ball in the last minute give him the ball it’s his team not fox. Fox trying to play like he’s still in Sacramento. Fox sold the game missed shots and fouled curry who then got the lead
We all knew fox wont pass the ball,we already knew who he was.
Spurs fans were happy to get fox. Please continue to let him be number one option. 😂😂😂😂😂
Mitch Johnson sux. How bout driving in the lane when you're in the penalty with seven minutes left in the game!! Pathetic coaching, let wemby shoot the last shots !
This dude hand pick by pop this what you call a learning experience for wemby you got to lose close games against good team they play team defense experience in reel time so he be ok.
If Fox made that shot, the casuals wouldn't be bashing him. 20 turnovers and dumb fouls lost us the game. The team needs to be more focused and disciplined, especially down the stretch. Mitch is gonna keep them accountable in the film room
This guy doesn't coach aggressively!
Multiple games the opponent bigs are in foul trouble and this coach doesn't call plays to address that.
Passive coaching.
Terrible coaching and gameplan! Fox this ain’t yo team bro
FIRE HIM
Mitch Johnson showing himself to be the inexperienced coach he is that is over his head. Guy has no idea how to use WEmby and gameplay for him. He will hold the Spurs back from going to the next level while coaches like Kerr and even Riddick will continue to punk him out.
YOU DONT DESERVE TO BE HEAD COACH. MAYBE ASSISTANT HEAD COACH LOL
The Warriors are a veteran team with arguably three Hall-of-famers. Yet, they were hungrier, more active, more accurate and more aggressive than the Spurs. The Spurs MAY be growing lazy on defense because Vic is playing defense against more than one guy. But whatever the reason they were lazy against Dray and Stef, who shredded them for it. Mitch looked WAY under experienced as it melted away. Vassell is not clutch. QED
Yeah give the ball to wemby—not fox😂😂
as a warriors fan hope we get a playoff series against y'all we are so tired of whooping the rockets all the damn time
Too many turnovers
Why why why. Mitch you seem to mellow we need Pops nastiness get after the team when turning over the ball. Haven't seen that toughness like you did on Dallas game. Come on
I’m with you. Fire Mitch now!!!! These dummies talking about let him grow. Fuck that.
The lesson? Wemby just can’t catch a break from Steph. They call him demon in France lmao
Vassell and Fox made really bad decisions and forgot to involve Vic in the offense somehow
Fox has made game winners in past, he was going to take that regardless, next time a game plays out as this one then Wemby will definitely get the ball
This is part of the process. You learn more when you lose. Keep fighting! We believe in you guys… Go Spurs! – PH Fan here
I blame turnovers. I think they had 12-14 in the 1st half. Don't lose the ball, don't lose the game.
Warriors fully deserved to win this game. Spurs were atrocious in protecting the ball and executing on offense. What was surprising was they lost by only one point. But if it takes back to back 40 + point games from the greatest shooter in NBA history to win 2 close games, it says more about the Warriors weak roster than anything else. I will take the Spurs above the Warriors for the regular season, and maybe in a 7-game series. I have always maintained that the weakness of the Spurs defense is protecting the 3 point line. It is so focused on protecting the lane and involves a lot of overhelping. Teams who have multiple 3 point shooters like the Warriors and the Suns easily take advantage of this. But that is the Spurs' defensive philosophy and they are willing to live with it. The analytics will tell you that with the same volume of shots, the 3 point shot is the better shot. However, that can be mitigated by a greater volume of scoring in the lane. But by itself, the 3 point shot is a lower percentage shot than a layup or a shot within 5 feet of the rim. This is the crux of the Spurs' defensive philosophy. They lost these two games but there is only one Steph Curry and he cannot score 46 and 49 points every game. The law of averages will kick in at some point in the Spurs favor.
mitch gotta go
