I went to the game. It was a fantastic experience and seeing Wemby dominate in the 4th was incredible. Yes, we lost. We made some mistakes down the stretch and throughout the game. I thought everyone looked pretty good for the most part, too.
And I come here and it’s all “Keldon sold” or “Jeremy can’t be point guard” or this or that.
It’s the first fucking game. It’s not Wemby vs the Mavs. It’s the SPURS vs the Mavs. Seems anybody who makes a mistake is instantly crucified now that we have Wemby.
We don’t play iso ball. We never have. It’s going to take time to get used to A) just giving the ball to Victor and letting him cook, B) everyone realizing he is the best player and can take us to the promised land.
We have other young guys who are core pieces, and now hella people are talking about them like bums. It’s pissing me off.
Prob gonna be a lot less active in this sub compares to last year because I already cannot stand this bullshit noise. I had a fantastic time last night and all this bullshit is just pissing me off.
Also, give credit where it’s due!?!! They have Luka fucking Doncic. One of THE best players in the league who has the ability to just say “fuck yall, yall arent winning”.
Anyways. I’m out. Sad to see this. I appreciate those who didn’t overreact and tear our guys down.

Also people aren’t realizing this is the teams literal first 4th quarter playing together. Still figuring out how to play together… I think we’ll be alright
We’ve transitioned to the actual season where these guys have to perform and earn their millions. They will get criticized alot because outside wemby most of these guys have serious flaws.
Bro fr it’s like people didn’t even watch any games last season. Our guys are young and bad when it comes down to crunch time, adding Vic who’s a rookie is not going to help with that. KJ was playing amazing all game and just had a couple bad plays at the end, it happens, it’s game 1. Vic was also in foul trouble the entire game so he couldn’t really shine till the end anyway. The overreactions are insane and it reminds me of the cowboys sub after any game win or lose
Don’t read after a loss lol
Yeah I’m not gonna let the debbie downers change my opinion of what I saw with my own eyes. Without the foul trouble I’m confident we win and that’s enough hope for me! This season is gonna be fun. Vassell and Wemby are gonna cook this season 🔥
I still had a blast watching, but I agree w your sentiment. Last night’s game was really fun, but you wouldn’t have known it from the discourse here
It’s bound to happen for 3 reasons. Winning for a long time made some fans have high expectations, we had a long period of time falling below those expectations, and wemby brought even more bandwagon fans. You the kind. The ones that don’t know the history and only support during the good times.
People take a lot of things for granted. The Robinson, Duncan, and Wemby situations are very different. Robinson came out a man. 2 years after graduation. He was much more seasoned, rested, and ready to go. The 2 year gap allowed the Spurs to draft a bit of extra help to improve the team. In the year of the Duncan lottery, the team was decimated by injuries. I’m talking about completely destroyed. This allowed a good team to tank and get a 22 year old with little wear and tear, which catapulted the team to top competition.
Wemby doesn’t have that much seasoning. He has the physical tools to potentially become a great player, but he’s not physically imposing. Moreover, he doesn’t have a lot of help. There are no Sean Elliots, no David Robinsons on the team. The team is a bunch of young guys learning and growing together, plus some outcasts who were slowed down by injuries. The support system between those lines is simply not there.
Dumb people don’t care. They just want to have a good time and celebrate after years of underperforming. They saw two #1 overall picks have much success on their first year, so they expect Wemby to do the same. The media is also glazing him 24/7, so it must be true. Right?
Wrong. It’s totally different. Don’t be dumb. Support the hell out of the team. Don’t harass them online, don’t put them in hypothetical trades. I promise you we’re not beating Jokic and the Denver machine to get to the NBA finals.
Focus on what matters: developing players, building schemes, establishing rotations, and changing the culture.
You are way too soft, we had a lot of flaws that game but the team is young
I don’t have an issue with criticizing the players, but there can sometimes be a lack of perspective early in the season here.
Honestly, I’m enjoying the discussions and criticism. I hate how some fans or fanbases can never point out any flaws or negatives in their players. At the end of the day, It was the first game of the season against a great team and 2 of the best players in the NBA. The fact that the game was even competitive was an improvement
