I’ll applaud any NBA logo that isn’t inside of a circle or a basketball.

"Trust the vet" strategy has been batting below the Mendoza line for a while

[👽⭐️🇸🇳 @BiggySpurs]

I thought adjusting the rotation based on who’s actually performing was just basic basketball logic. I understand Dylan not starting, but when he’s clearly been our best player all game, how is he still not closing? This has happened way too many times this season.

[Big LB ☔️ @WhoIsLB_]

Also unacceptable how this defense did absolutely nothing to force the worst shooters/scorers (Hart & Robinson) to shoot more

[Big LB ☔️ @WhoIsLB_]

KAT only attempted 2 3PTs all game …. He made ZERO

What are we doing?

[ℵ @nicktharula]

Wemby does not have to guard KAT *that* high up and *that* physical. He has the length to contest his threes if he lays off anyways

[👽⭐️🇸🇳 @BiggySpurs]

And I’m never getting gaslighted into any narrative about Fox like “making room for the young guys” or “Castle turns it over less without him.” We’re not paying you $60M a year to be some glorified 2025 Chris Paul. You’re supposed to be an All-Star lead guard. Start playing like one.

[Underdog NBA @UnderdogNBA]

De'Aaron Fox in the 4th quarter:

0 PTS
0 AST
2 TO
0-2 FG
in 11 minutes

Dylan Harper led the Spurs in scoring through 3 quarters but only played 3:33 in the fourth.

[Big LB ☔️ @WhoIsLB_]

Idgaf what turnover suppresion ya’ll talkin bout … I’m not paying a nigga 60 Ms to start and play like ass for all the marbles when I have a 20 year old that’s CLEARLY ready for the moment

We see the same trend in Game 2, we might as well kiss the Wemby ring goodbye

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

Dylan Harper needs to take the Fox minutes moving forward in this series. Harper should be playing near 40.

[Big LB ☔️ @WhoIsLB_]

Who’s supposed to be Brunson’s primary defender? All I saw was Champagnie getting blended most of the game

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔇𝔢𝔱𝔯𝔬𝔦𝔱 𝔗𝔦𝔪𝔢𝔰 📰 @the_det_times]

This is hilarious 😭💀

[Big LB ☔️ @WhoIsLB_]

A league with SGA as the MVP has guys like Deuce McBride trying to get his own “Jordan shrug” moment in the Finals 😪

[The Spurs Way @zachmontana210]

A team that lost their head coach 5 games into the season and also lost their star in the same season with a life threatening blood clot has definitely been through a lot together

[Will Ragatz @WillRagatz]

Olivia Miles is special. She's gonna play in this league for a long, long time

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

WEMBY JUST DROPPED A BAR:

"The lack of experience is a strength of us...because we could do impossible stuff because we don't know it's impossible" 🥶

[FREE TAXSTONE! @Diamy_TV]

y’all be unrealisticly hard on people that’s doing better than yal. Feel sad for yourself.

The Rams are ruining baseball.

[Michael Redd @MichaelRedd_]

Been thinking about this. It's not about hoops, but it is about a hooper.

Give Wemby and his marketing team major credit.

For three or four years now he's been saying yes. Access. Interviews. Riding the subway. Playing chess. Living with monks. Voiced geopolitical takes. Stunt-y or not, doesn't matter.

I think reporters have been starved of actual access from NBA stars for a long time. From LeBron to Jokic, you only got the few crumbs that the player and his sneaker brand and his agency wanted you to have. Then, journalists (and talkshow hosts) would have to make a meal out of crumbs. (Crumbs that often came with strings attached.)

Wemby's kind've bucked that trend. So now that he's got the biggest stage of his career, those same access-starved reporters (who also, fwiw, tend to align with his politics and disposition) have got stories, angles, and the "superhero" they've craved to cover.

Whether Wemby's genuinely that guy or just plays one really well, I don't know. But from a media and marketing standpoint, he and his team ran their long play about as well as we've seen it run in a long time.

Salute.
