Spurs Specter

A San Antonio Spurs fan trying to stay in the loop

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Missed goaltending call, missed out of bounds call, missed coach’s challenge, and a technical for Mitch Johnson even though he was rightfully fuming over all of those sequences…Spurs salvage the end of quarter meltdown, but that’s an egregious streak of mistakes from the refs…

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

This man Victor Wembanyama is simply unbelievable…like a watching a freaking walking talking cryptid in the flesh…just doing things we’ve never witnessed on a basketball court…

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Devin Vassell has been an outstanding help defender all series long and made several momentum-swinging stops.

Forget what the shooting splits say, he has gone on a couple of massive one-man scoring runs for the young Spurs.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Dylan Harper needs to get the adoption papers drafted before Game 4 because he just made Scoot his son in front of a national TV audience.

One of the strongest playoff showings I’ve seen from a rookie, and only made better by the context of Wembanyama missing this road game.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Fells so damn good to tweet “SPURS PLAYOFF WIN” for the first time in seven years.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

¡DEVIN VASSELL CAME TO PLAY DEFENSE TONIGHT!

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

There a few things better on this Earth than watching Spurs playoff basketball.

The fact we live in an era where Wemby is their best player only makes it better.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Been lurking in the shadows all season, and I’m so ready for some Spurs playoff basketball.

Just being a fan of your hometown team rocks when you have no obligation to be unbiased.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

The San Antonio Spurs win on Christmas Day, and all is right with the world.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

19/20:

-LMA/DDR franchise pillars
-Forbes/Mills/Beli 60+MPG
-DJM/White/KJ/LW4 top prospects
-Jak and Gay best rotation players

25/26:

-Wemby generational star
-Fox/Castle/Harper/Dev backcourt
-Carter/Sochan/draft capital
-HB/KJ/Luke/Juju top role players

TRUST THE SPUR-OCESS

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

We might just have witnessed a preview of what will likely be the future Western Conference Final matchup for YEARS to come in the NBA.

The Spurs and Thunder are both young, deep, have multiple franchise changing players, depth, and a ridiculous stash of draft capital.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

YOUR. SAN. ANTONIO. SPURS. ARE. BACK. BABY.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

¡WEMBY MADE DRAYMOND HIS SON ON THAT INBOUND LOB!

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

San Antonio ends the quarter on a 12-0 run and that’s the kind of Spurs defense their championship teams were built on.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

And just like that the Spurs are 5-0 for the first time in franchise history.

Did I mention De’Aaron Fox has yet to play a game for San Antonio yet?

This team looks ahead of schedule and they’re not even at full strength…

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Dylan Harper has been so much more impressive than expected right out of the gate for the Spurs.

Never doubted he would pop, but his craft, poise, and creativity have been fantastic from the get-go.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Dallas went from having a generational talent in Luka Doncic leading them to a finals appearance to their fans erupting in MVP chants for Wemby in their home arena on opening night in less than one year…

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Players who had at least 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 0 turnovers in a season opener in NBA history?

K**l M****e
Anthony Davis
Victor Wembanyama

THAT IS THE ENTIRE LIST...

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

Really love that message of “embrace the mundane” from head coach Mitch Johnson during the last huddle.

Feels like so many fans were prepared to write him off last season, but we’re gonna find out who he is this year.

[Noah Magaro-George @N_Magaro]

I know it’s only the season opener, but the Spurs look like a playoff contender with how dominant Wemby has been.

Imagine how much better San Antonio can be once Fox, Sochan, Olynyk, and Waters are back and forge chemistry.
