I guess I'll root for Mike tonight.

De'Backpack Fox is probably riding Wemby to the W though.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

This is the biggest game in the NBA careers of every player on the San Antonio Spurs not named Harrison Barnes or Kelly Olynyk.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Fox threw that up like he thought that was Wembanyama.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Looks like Mike Brown has elected to start the game hiding Brunson on Harrison Barnes.

Mike had nice things to say about the Kings and even Vivek personally despite how it ended. Easy choice, though I think I'll root in spirit only.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

9-2 Knicks run since Fox went to the bench.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

"French Vanilla"? I can dig it.

Can you sum up what he said?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It took 18 and a half minutes for someone not named De'Aaron Fox or Stephon Castle to register an assist for the Spurs.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Brunson looking to play ref ball cause he can’t get by castle clown behavior

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That kid's too tall for his own good.

 

[KainLear]

Is it just me or has Wemby been on a "minute-restriction" most of his career?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

[NBA Jam]

He's Heating Up!

[/NBA Jam]

 

[coolhandluke]

Wemby is unreal

 

[coolhandluke]

The rim pressure every Spur on the floor can put is really something

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah I see why the Knicks are interested in Schroeder

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Man the spurs getting Harper after Wemby wnT castle isn’t fair

 

[iowamcnabb]

You knew that was going in.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Mitchell Robinson is Savoir-Faire: he's everywhere!

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’m curious how the nba handles the switch to a non neutral site next year. They might really have something here

 

[Tetsujin]

There’s the big game Barnes I remember

 

[Tetsujin]

They should get Champagnie out there for him

They did but Champagne apparently only capable of hitting open threes when he plays the Kings

 

[Tetsujin]

not sure what Wemby’s minute limit is tonight but the Spurs may need to discard that and let him play the rest of the night if they want this win.

 

[Sherds]

Might be the purple glasses I'm wearing, but Fox travels and takes a step or 2 before he starts his dribbe after an out of bounds or made basket.

Never noticed him do that here

 

[Sluggah]

Rough sequence

 

[Tetsujin]

Winning the challenge but getting T’d up gotta be the least successful challenge possible lol

 

[Tetsujin]

This no Wemby/Fox/Harper lineup ain’t it.
