Spurs won't make it past the Nuggets.
OKC fans have goldfish memory. That something happened some time ago doesn't mean its no longer relevant. The winning stretch y'all went after we beat y'all doesn't change the past
Using this years stats versus nuggets doesn’t really matter since Wemby only played one of those games. It is just going to be a close series regardless
Wemby really can’t guard Jokic, man. I remember his rookie season he blocked Jokic on like two shots and Jokic immediately adjusted and started scoring on him using hooks, post fade, etc. The Nuggets are a problem for the Spurs because they have decent shooters and Jokic isn’t really impacted by Wemby’s defense.
Spurs is preparing for JWill problem by playing Carter Bryant at C.
The Wemby glaze 🙄
Spurs won't make it past Denver.
I love the Spurs, although their path to the final is very rough. Either a Suns or Clippers matchup which will be no push off but they should get through most likely a Nuggets – Spurs series that could easily go to 7 games. Just to then face the favorites in OKC and even then if they pass they could face the Celtics in the final. That might be one of the toughest paths to the championship in recent years
Ridiculous nonsense…OKC has been trounced by the Spurs FOUR OUT OF FIVE GAMES…Spurs own OKC's ass and OKC knows it.
5:39 spurs didn't even show their french vanilla combo
Spurs spanked OKC 4 -1 this year. That is all.
Amazing to me that okc lost only 14 games last year and now this year to prove they’re not the fraud that I thought they were. They’re only gonna lose 16 games and more amazing than that is that the Spurs beat them four times and the field of all the other teams, all season long in total only beat them 12 times and that’s one of the best two year runs ever and I think the spurs will beat him again if we have a chance to meet him in the playoffs
Spurs will never get the chance. Nuggets will take them out in the 2nd round.
They have to beat the Nuggets first. Playoffs are different. OKC will be ready for them
I don’t think it’s fair to bring up clutch games agains nuggets and spurs when wemby only had one chance to play Jokic this szn out of the 3 games
No they do not
Hoping Spurs played CHESS with Nuggets during regular season and didn't show them how they will defend Nuggets (Jokic)
Yes….JOKIC floaters and touch shots ……. arcing shots to the top of the arena …… offsets length of GOBERT…AD…and yes Bamyama
To me the counter……place Carter Bryant….Kornet….Plumly….on Jokic and PUT BAMAYAMA…..on Gordon to neutralize Gordon shot making and rebounding……
Spurs has the pieces to deal with the Nuggets…….Let Jokic get 45…..stay at home vs everyone else……. remove Jokic assists…
and BAMAYA MAN UP on Aaron Gordon ……..to remove Gordon's impact
AGAIN………SPURS COACHING….must Play CHESS vs Nuggets (Jokic)……….not checkers.
Aside from the players having no playoff experience the coach also has none and that can be a problem with adjustments etc
I think this guy said Luka has a higher ceiling then SGA a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't put too much stock into what he says.
Spurs gonna get bounced by the Clippers in round 1
Great analysis, thanks. One thing is certain, the Western Conference Playoffs are going to be very interesting.
I'm most worried about the Nuggets because you can never count Jokic out but Wemby only played them once. And while Jokic was doing his thing, Wemby was also cooking.
