Spurs NEED to retain Champagnie. Need to get a bigger 4 that can pair with Vic against bigger teams. Would be good with them retaining Barnes and Waters, but I'm sure HB will want a bigger role somewhere. Wish he'd gotten a little more PT in Finals when they needed to hold leads
1 thing about De’Aaron Fox: he didn’t have an offseason last summer. As soon as he was cleared from surgery on a finger that ended his 2024-25 season, Fox pulled a hamstring in July that put him on the shelf for rest of offseason & first 8 games of the season.
Nuance.
The wild overreactions around the Spurs over this Finals are out of control. Wemby is 22, Castle is 21, Harper is 20, Vassell is 25. This was their first playoff run, much less Finals appearance. This is the worst those players will be for the next five years. Chill.
He’s talking about earlier in the season, when Dylan wasn’t playing as much. Mitch Johnson talked about it too at the time. Harper’s role gradually grew.
Astonishing stats about the Spurs this season (106 games):
1) Never lost more than two games in a row
2) Only lost by more than 15 points twice (OKC in Jan & Knicks in Mar)
3) Only team with two undefeated months (Oct & Feb)
If you'd told me the Spurs would lose the Finals before the season, I'd have been giddy. But that was brutal. Double digit leads in all four losses. Blew a 29 point lead. And offense in all losses went awol in the 4th. Great season, but should've been so much more
“Wemby is just a bully. I dont want to see any crying from him when the Knicks give him a taste of his own medicine”
Wemby after getting a taste of his own medicine:
Mitch on Keldon in Game 3:
"I thought he played with really good energy. I thought he tried to rebound himself into the game and play good team defense, and that's what we need from him. We know he can score the basketball, and that will come with just minutes and opportunity, but his ability to rebound for us on both ends and be a strong team defender is what we need him to do."
Our very own Juan Hernandez sat down with @marca at the CFC headquarters to talk all things Chattanooga - our club, our city and what makes this place feel like home.💙

Dozens of viral videos of mobs of people jumping Spurs fans outside the Garden
The actual DA of Manhattan to the newspaper: “Waaaah waaaah Wemby pushed Bwunson”
Just an unbelievable display of loser behavior across the board
Yeah, it'll be hard for the Knicks to win if they foul as much as they did in the second half. Just like it'll be hard for the Spurs to win if they foul as much as they did in the first half.
Every Wemby “dirty” play in question is basically Wemby just sending the message to a defender to get the fuck off him. Can’t believe we’re actually crying about this. It’s the playoffs man.
