Coverage of the 5x champion San Antonio Spurs

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

Victor Wembanyama Rookie season:

Didn't have a PG. Spurs said bet and went and got: Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, De'Aaron Fox

Didn't have shooting. Spurs said Bet and surrounded: Julian Champagnie, Devin Vassell, Injected Keldon with 3pt shooting, Harrison Barnes, Jordan McLaughlin. Etc

Didn't have enough help defense. Spurs said bet and got: Stephon Castle, Carter Bryant, Luke Kornet, Mason Plumlee.

Spurs addressed what they were missing from Rookie Wemby to 3rd year Wemby.

Rookie: 22-60
Sophomore: 34-48
Current: 60-19 (3 games to go)

The San Antonio Spurs know exactly how to build a team. Who ever says otherwise don't know Ball.
Don't even get me started on How great their Cap situation is next 5 seasons. This is why I will continue to say the Spurs built a stronger team than the OKC THUNDER. And that the Spurs are the deepest team in the league.

He's not even in the same Arena let alone shadow

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

Chet Holmgren at half at Clippers: 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks … in Wemby’s shadow.

[Jordan Howenstine @AirlessJordan]

Only two rookies in Spurs franchise history to have 5 threes, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in a single game:

Victor Wembanyama (2023-24)
CARTER BRYANT (tonight)

[Jordan Howenstine @AirlessJordan]

Tonight is the 2,400th win in Spurs NBA history since the merger in 1976.

San Antonio is one of only two teams with 2,400 wins since the league expanded (Los Angeles Lakers).

[Wemby Alien Era @WembyAlienEra]

Carter Bryant reflects on his performance tonight:

“That’s all my teammates, they were telling me like over the last 3 games why are you hesitating to shoot the ball.. it’s like if my teammates have faith in me there’s no reason not to shoot it.”

#GoSpursGo #PorVida

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Anthony Davis on Victor Wembanyama:

“The sh*t he do is unrealistic... the tallest guy we seen do sh*t like that is KD… when I play against him it’s like, ‘I got to go to bed at 9 o’clock man, cause it’s gonna be a battle’… one of my favorite players to watch for sure.”

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

Keldon Johnson has drastically improved defensively this season.

Its night and day

[Tom Petrini @RealTomPetrini]

Dylan Harper is one of the best 20-year-old players I have ever seen, couldn’t be more obvious as a future superstar

[Tom Petrini @RealTomPetrini]

De’Aaron Fox when Spurs are healthy: “Go get em Steph and Dylan! Get your reps, expand your game and confidence, I’m gonna pick my spots and facilitate!”

De’Aaron Fox when Spurs are injured: “I will remove the skulls of my opponents and use them as weapons and/or trophies”

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

@JacobRTobey getting ESPN recognition on his National Anthem performance!

You made it!

[Spurs Culture @SpursCulture]

Castle never been one to make friends on court

Him and Wemby ain't about that friendly shit

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

@JJustalkhoops Exactly

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

This would say otherwise

[Jake @TXForever49]

@sixringsofsteeI De'Aaron Fox. Good player but he's on a Max Contract & doesn't play anywhere near Max level.

He was also brought in to be our closer, & despite winning "Clutch Player of the Year" 2 seasons ago, he's been anything but for us. He's choked multiple times in crunch time this season

[Pau Gasol @paugasol]

Good to see you @DGreen_14!

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

Spurs are undefeated when Dylan Harper starts

[Underdog NBA @UnderdogNBA]

Lineup alert: Spurs will start Fox, Harper, Vassell, Champagnie, Kornet on Wednesday.

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

Keep Working 💪 hard work pays off.

Definitely my favorite Non-Spurs player in the league.

Comeback hungrier than ever.

Yall running the Eastern Conference next season

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

Played 5 on 5 today for first time since June🙏🏽🙏🏽

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

@SLAMonline @quancas @StephonCastle 🏰

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

@burnyblazerz So if Wemby would of won his Rookie season and 2nd season, it would of added to the max

4th Season adds to the max

3rd season doesn't

[SpursCave @SpursCave]

MVP
DPOY
All NBA
All Defensive

Doesn't effect his max contract this season

Next season will if he wins those awards next season

[buzzyburner @burnyblazerz]

@UnderdogNBA Sit him and you’ll pay him a cheaper super max
