Spurs ❤❤❤
being in the finals cup already with this group, we are all proud and there's a lot to look forward to.. GSG!
Proud of the spurs ❤😊
Very proud of the team
This is pathetic!
Who cares about the NBA CUP?
This just means the Knicks will not win any Championships this year!!!
Do a better job Calling timeouts for momentum swings. Don’t give the other team more confidence by not calling the timeout. Also the refs are gonna be horrible till the end , it’s not worth getting upset and the team losing momentum and confidence. We all know who the refs work for and it’s not the nba.
Wemby and Fox need to take more shots in games like these, I know fox didn’t have a good game but there’s no reason for him to have the fifth most shots in the team
Please Spurs give us an experienced coach please!!!!!
These games are very complicated. It's difficult to win when you're down by 12 baskets on the racket and, above all, by 17 rebounds. That's a lot. Despite this, the Spurs led the entire game and are very close to the best teams. That said, to win and be more comfortable, you almost always need four guys scoring over 20 points.
The SPURS did win, they got playoff experience, that super invaluable, “GO SPURS GO”
Very mature and professional with his answers. He clearly knows what hes talking about and the spurs have had an incredible start to the season exceeding all expectations. Mitch is only 38 i believe, you dont see coaches that young, all you bandwagons need to relax shit is annoying and embarrassing, all the people complaining left when the big 3 retired and came back when the team got Wemby, we dont want your bandwagon asses
This game exposed the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs. He made some very bad decisions this game and the average spectator would not know this. But there were some evident glitches that were never addressed by this coach.
1. Wemby was not there mentally in this game and there was something disturbing his focus and ability. (Realize now that he lost his Grandmother and this shook him) Should he have been played?
2. Barnes and Champagnie were off from the 3 point line, yet they continued to attempt after many failed attempts. Should they have been pulled from rotation allowing other capable players a chance to step up?
3. The team as a whole was not aggressive like they were in the previous game against OKC. If the coach sees this lackluster atmosphere permeating the team in such an important game, there should have been a correction by the coach.
This team is loaded with great talent, it would be such a waste to allow this to continue. It would have been very different if Gregg Popovich was at the healm.
So proud of them! They made us so happy! The chemistry is even more evident than last year the new additions are perfect, can’t wait to see how they build on this for the rest of the season. Great job from the coaching staff too we see you
DNP – Jeremy Sochan vs Flakers; vs OKC; vs Knicks in Cup play.
DNP – Carter Bryant vs Flakers; vs OKC; vs Knicks in Cup play.
Someone tell limp-wristed *itch Johnson, who cannot manage lineups or make in-game adjustments, that defense wins championships. He uses an 8-man rotation w/o playing two of the team's top defenders. Spurs will never win a 6th title…the players will be exhausted by the playoffs.
Spurs better get another superstar b/c they just proved they cannot win a 6th title with this defensive liability of a team. Pitting Giannis with Wemby will be able to mask the inept limp-wristed assistant coach *itch Johnson who is currently pretending to be a head coach. He cannot manage lineups or make in-game adjustments. He and was hired b/c the "pride" of Gregg "CIA" Popovich wanted to preserve his legacy. Way to go, Pop. You screwed the franchise that gave you a Hall of Fame career.
Raccomended coach.
Absolutely amen brother
Let's continue Thursday yo
My thoughts exactly! Get the experience of a high stakes game now before the actual playoffs!! GO SPURS GO!!
Coaching lost this game. Have downhill players and didn't allow them to attack the basket was ridiculous.
Castle 🤴🏽
HB and Fox just didn't have it this game but let's persist with them anyway. The team struggled with D and Rebounds. Jeremy or Carter could probably help out there. Love Mitch but sure did show he is a rookie this game.
We just can't hold leads. There have been so many games this year where we've blown double digit leads in the 2nd half. If this doesn't get addressed, we're fucking cooked.
Nice game! GoSpursGo!
Fox's current issue is that many of his passes are too careless, often leading to costly turnovers. Making multiple critical mistakes in a single game is unacceptable for an All-Star point guard. This may stem from bad habits developed during his time with the Kings. Hopefully, Fox can correct this, or it will become a major liability. GSG!
Mitch got outcoached! Plan and simple. He let Wemby battle 2 bigs for long stretches and thats why we got outrebounded. He failed to play Wemby and another big together.
a jump from sub 0.500 win-loss from last season to reaching NBA cup finals this season is already an accomplishment. I think I was asking too much from them. But it's a real improvement.
