@GMZeroOG @KronosTalks Wemby’s first preseason game of his NBA career - drives Jalen Williams and scoops up and under Chet.

[Warren County Sports Authority @The_WCSA]

Most coaches say they don't have favorites, but Gary Rankin isn't most coaches. The all-time wins leader in TN HS football says he will treat one position group better: The offensive line. And if you had a problem with that, LG and RG were open positions ready for competition.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

At some point you just gotta play Harper. He’s been better all night

[Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix]

This has been a disaster of a game for De'Aaron Fox.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

How long can Steph go without fouling out? Feels like the difference in the game for SA.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

The only way Vassell was making contact was if SGA went back and left - he did. Dev can’t get up in the air to allow it to happen.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

What a joke. Even Crawford said it on the broadcast - SGA had no intent on shooting that. He got Vassell in the air and made sure they were gonna call it.

[BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown]

Plenty of contact, and he actually jumped away from the in air defender

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Just hoping that 2Q Wemby performance was him trying not to pick up a third foul. Otherwise, that won't be enough.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Heartbeat of the team has to play better if SA is going to make a run all the way to the title. Getting bullied on a board for a tip-in at the half is just an unacceptable error in effort. Gotta find that G5 fire.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Fox threw a pair of grenades late in that quarter trying to avoid having to set up offense against McDaniels. That can’t happen. T’Wolves got runouts off both

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Wemby’s so good at keeping blocks in play, he either just missed the top of the backboard or made a special point to remind Deni to not come into the paint.

[Mo Dakhil @MoDakhil_NBA]

LMAO!

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Both games Wemby started and finished.

[Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA]

From the pod:

The Spurs have held the Blazers below 100 points in two playoff games.

Combined with the 11-0 record when holding opponents below 100 during the season, the Spurs are now 13-0 this season (playoffs combined) when holding an opponent below 100.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Vic flirting with a 5x5 less than a week after being concussed is something. 23/9/6/3/3 with four minutes to go

[Dan Weiss @DanWeissPBP]

Six blocks for Victor Wembanyama is the most blocks in a playoff game since the "Block Father" game by Luke Kornet with 7 last year at MSG.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Blazers have gone seven minutes - and counting - with their lone scores being on FTs or offensive boards. Rebounding is going to be a key factor for Spurs the whole playoffs - their initial defense is elite, but harder to get multiple stops or stop people at the line.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Oh yeah, in this scenario the young, incredible defender (Ibaka) to round out the core would be Carter Bryant.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Could be an unpopular comparison - or one already widely made - but this Spurs core reminds me so much of the early 2010s Thunder: Wemby/KD, Steph/Russ, Harper/Harden. Obviously those are 3 MVPs so not easy to replicate, but gonna be fun to see how SA keeps this together.

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Interesting way to describe these plays. There’s another train of thought- instead of thinking frame-by-frame analysis proves both calls are right, it also could mean in last 24 hours that people realized the first call was wrong. Just a different way to look at it.

[BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown]

Great side by side comparison. I don't love it, but there is a difference as Caruso had jump stopped and stopped his vector towards Booker just before contact. And with frame by frame review, we can see Deni is still (very slightly) moving towards Fox

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

100% chance KOC is getting tagged in a ton of Harper highlights over the next 12-24 hours.

[Rob Perez @WorldWideWob]

!

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

From panic button to realizing the Spurs have had double-digit, fourth-quarter leads in all three games. Great bounce back and finish tonight!

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Two feet on the ground as he releases the rim.

[San Antonio Spurs @spurs]

📺 @NBAonNBC

[J.K. Simmons @SpursFanatic2]

Head scratching call(s) that are the really frustrating ones were the Camara sells the bump from Harper for the offensive foul on one end, Castle refuses to move when Deni tries to bump him off the spot and Steph gets called for the foul. Stop rewarding flops.

[Caleb @calebjsaenz]

For what it’s worth, that “marginal” contact from Holiday would have 100% been called a foul if it was on SGA.
