Wish I didn't have to call out Fox but it is what it is. Thoughts on the final play? Thanks for watching and GO SPURS GO!
Not jusy this game , Wemby needs to be our closer. Put the ball in his hands diwn the stretch he will make the right play.
Friday Night Vs. Golden State Was Not Good. Coach Johnson Got Have Better Plan To Win This Type of Game? 😠
I'm not mad at fox for taking the shot. He's a clutch player and can make those.
But I am mad for not lobbing it to wemby who was the wide open.
I like this quote so much. Credit to @jayasreejayasree1957. Spurs feel the:
P – positive
A – attitude
I – in
N – negative situation
Trade fox and vasell for ja morant
I blame Vassell, the Lob to Castle was clearly the best option on that fastbreak.
It’s all good… 2 games we could have (should have?) won… Especially that last game. Fox took the shot he was open. That was not a bad shot… Problem is there was a better option with the alley to Wemby. Ok. He also missed another alley 2 possessions before that… They lack experience together, he shows the exact same defects Wemby’s teammates showed when they started to play with him… He will adjust. Not worried 😊
Sometimes ya fustercluck it. Sh!t happens. He's dusting off rust coming off an injury. He is also not used to playing with Wemby. Sometimes we dissect these things from an armchair with hindsight and frame by frame in the weird lab that is the internet…. but in the moment he's got literal fractions of a second. When you don't have time to think, you fall back on training. He hasn't had time to oil up those gears again. He'll get there. Passion is great, but these are also humans. Lets keep a level head about it.
Besides, turnovers have been the bigger and more consistent issue.
I agree TSR, but the majority of the growing pains gonna be with the coach!!! Stephen Castle is not a point guard and you don't even utilize Jeremy Sochan for defense when Keldon Johnson is not making a shot or having a bad game.
And I still see the Vessel and Keldon, not getting or passing Wemby the ball when they should!!!
I think a lot of fans are just overreacting. Wemby and Fox had comparable shooting nights and both deserved the right to take the final shot. The moral of the story is we’re super undisciplined, turning the ball over and the communication breakdowns on D are costing us against good teams. We’ll be fine, especially when we get Harper back leading the bench unit.
Well now wemby is questionable for sacramento for left calf tightness…
Wemby is our franchise player. I know fox is former clutch player oty. But we need wemby to take that responsibility, even if he fail. It will bw good for his progress.
This loss will give wemby fox and the spurs all the fuel they needed
I totally agree with you about fox, how did he not see Wemby standing under the rim? He ignored Wemby on purpose ……
I agree with you, in the last play it wasn't Fox's fault, he was trying to be clutch as he always was, the shot just didn't fall and it is what it is. Remember last year's game against the Hornets when they took away Fox's supposedly game winner. BTW it shouldn't just be Wemby or Fox, you can have the ball in Castle's hands as well.
No play called shows me Mitch is not coaching right .. Fox is use to losing
Da Problem was never should came to that we had BS calls by the refs . They allowed Green to hold Wemby all game long N that dunk they waived off should of counted and free throw. N that final play of Curry he literally ran into Swipa Fox for bullshit call. Plus that white boi who hit 3 three pointers in 4th was difference. Dubbs won't b winning unless Curry scores 40 plus every game N da refs give em all da calls. Wait till SG plays OKC, Denver or Fakerz guarantee they won't get these calls
Bro you dont need to lob to Wemby. Bonehead Mitch can draw up a play for a layup because that's all you need and GSW's dont have trees like other teams so it makes much more sense for him to have the last shot. But ofc with lack of experience, Mitch doesnt know these things including his coaching staff.
Fox is getting all the heat because he took that shot. That's what comes with it. Those shots come with all the praise and all the heat. And if he misses more than makes them, he's getting roasted. As a dubs fan, I even felt cheated the last shot didnt go to Wemby. Fire your bonehead coach, no cap. By the way Spurs are #2 this season so im rooting for yall unless they play my dubs but yeah, Mitch sux ahh.
On the picture you see Barnes and Vassel sitting on the line,and no golden state player guarding them,they were doubling on Fox and Victor,this i the PROBLEM.Sick and tired to see these guys sitting on the line.Specially Vassel.It's on Mitch,not on Fox
The play didn't work out, but it was really the 20 turnovers that screwed us. If we keep treating the ball like garbage, that's what's gonna happen
Lakers fan here. I watched this game and thought to myself that De'Aaron did't get the memo about who's team it was. Bad EGO move at the end.
I agree with you assessment. 2.2sec might not have been long enough for the lob dunk. The turnovers are killing me. Wemby has to stop putting the ball on the floor when he gets it outside the three point line, and is guarded by a smaller guy.
Spurs is DOOM !
Fox is always a hero ball player. Last season all he had to do was not foul playing the pistons up by 4 with 3.1 seconds left. He fouls Jaden Ivey and pistons win. Mike brown fired the next day. Don’t get me wrong, he can score but he is not it.
after years of losing years for spurs. Just nice to see them compete again
They got more time to execute than the game winner of Wiggins in Heat VS Cavs game. Damn these Spur's coaches choking on clutch plays every damn time.
I like this team better without Fox
And the refs ???😂
Yeah nah fox is responsible for the L, he had an easy pass to Wemby towards the end that would changed everything and he took a terrible shot instead
A shame because Fox had a pretty good game, except in the last 2 minutes :
🔸 Bad pass turnover
🔸 Missed floater
🔸 Missed pull-up 22’
🔸 Missed 17’ jumper
🔸 Fouled Steph on a jumper
🔸 Missed pull-up 18’
Fox sold the game in the end
