Wemby through 15 games:
Damn.
I can hardly think of anything to fault Wemby in this game. Yeah, he bit on a couple of fakes, but come on; that’s like his calling card now. The one 3 where Curry missed, relocated and then hit, Wemby was still there. Amazing game by this guy.
Yeah, Osman and now McDermott.
These periods of shooting droughts are enough to give any fan an ulcer, never mind the coaches. Spurs haven’t had a field goal in the last 10 minutes of play, it seems.
I’ve not been a fan of Bassey so far, but he definitely does put in work. I really like what Barlow and Mamu showed in the few appearances they had. Would love to see them get some burn to see if those were just flashes.
Tre Jones had a couple of great defensive plays in this game already.
This could have been far worse than 26 for the first quarter; defense wasn’t bad.
Defense is a lot better today. But man, Vassell is getting some really good looks, not dropping. He is going to be so good for us.
Sochan is one impressively calm dude though. Even after that turnover, it looks like he is mainly looking to learn. I see good things.
Keldon, when he is standing under his own basket, I rarely see him do anything other than ball-watch.
While some folks are ‘nephewing’’ OP for putting this up, I’ve found that the conversation that has resulted in the comments were totally worth it. Thanks OP!
The long rebounds have mostly gone Miami’s way. Frustrating to see.
Thibs is really good with his timeouts.
Hmm, this is interesting. Already 2 timeouts called by Thibs to arrest Spurs momentum.
Collins is interesting; definitely has the hustle, but sometimes is too helpful and forgets where his man is. Film study will help.
Some of the mistakes being made by the younger Spurs players are almost basic. Branham has made a couple that were particularly egregious. Lots to work on for Pop, hopefully the will to learn is there.
Not bad OP, if you can keep this up for the rest of the season. Thanks for putting in the work!
Windy does have a good perspective on this, having been the LeBron guy from back in the day and now positioned as the ESPN Wemby guy for the future. Good read.
Cedi has had some bad passes this run.
