We really needed Castle in on those possessions because no way he makes those dumb ass mistakes, but Julian was 4-5 from three in the 4th up to that point. How do you take out a guy that just shot you back into the game and is one of your best perimeter defenders at that point? We needed his shooting and he was red hot.
The first rebound and turnover Julian should have gotten the ball out of his hands asap. He should have passed the ball to Chris Paul immediately, instead he dribbles it up to half court and then throws a lazy pass that gets picked off. The foul and second turnover don't happen if he just gets the ball to the guy who's made a HOF career out of taking care of the ball.
And I don't understand why Paul didn't make sure he got it from the outset. He is the one that should have been bringing it up and Devin should have been secondary. Neither worked to be open or to bring it up.
Paul was exhausted. He was clearly gassed. Guy is super old. You gotta put someone else in who can help relieve him at times. He's not in his 20s anymore. Vassell should be one of those guys but half the time he runs away from the ball and when he does get it he's just a ball stopper. Time to have serious discussions about Vassell and his ceiling.

I actually agree with you on Dev. Let's see where he is with a full season of being healthy. But he definitely does seem to lack that IQ that Victor, Steph and even Jeremy have.
Just a casual 24 point, 11 board, 4 assist, 2 block first half for the Alien.
Victor Wembanyama just hit 1,000 career rebounds.

Only 1 other player in NBA history to have 2,000+ points, 1,000+ rebounds and 350+ blocks in their first 100 games - fellow Spur David Robinson.
1 of 1

First player in NBA history to record 2,000+ points, 1,000+ rebounds and 200+ three-pointers in first 100 games: Victor Wembanyama.
No Bassey or Zach so far today. Getting killed on the boards at the end of the 3rd with Wemby on the bench.
Just curious what the market is for The Disney+ animated Dunk the Halls version of today's game. Just curious if anyone or their kids has it on
Goofy is going at Wemby 🔥

Tony Brothers ducking us again
Agreed. He had definitely started the shooting motion.
Bridges just having a career game.
Why would you not try Castle on Bridges in the 4th?
Watching Bridges cook us with Castle on the bench.

Good thing this didnt impact the game.
That BS call taking the 3 off the board is coming back to haunt us. Took Victors tying wilts record and would be a tied game.
Someone please ask Mitch postgame why Jones is in there goofing layups in the fourth at one end while getting burned by Bridges at the other while Castle sits.
At least we know why Mitch isn't a real head coach with his choices. Pop hurry up and get better
Vassell is so soft man.
Smh grab a ****ing rebound
You have to foul on that offensive rebound. You can't let them run it down again. Stupid.
Even if you get a stop the clock is under three seconds left. Wemby deserves better.

Another loss that we let slip away. I definitely didn't have Bridges going for 40 on my bingo card.
Another loss where Castle relegated to the pine I. The fourth while our mid perimeter players choke on O and get cooked defensively.

Wemby was in shooting motion when the foul was called. Commentator said refs look at the foul before the whistle was blown which is crap I never heard before.
There are times Wemby falls in love with the 3 ball too much. They need another guy to help him out. I don't know what spurs are going to do once Chris Paul leaves/retires or starts downgrading because they are going to need a point guard that can direct them on the court
Don't know if y'all caught it but after the buzzer Sochan instantly goes to laughing it up with knickers players while Wemby is pissed and storms off the court.
Not a good look.
Not a good look.
At some point they are going to turn all the draft pick assets into a player, and that may happen soon because it looks like our odds of getting a lottery pick in the upcoming draft are slim.Sports-Ag said:

Yea that made no sense. Isn't that situation the same as an and 1? If it is then it's determined by whether the shooting motion had begun and it absolutely had. I have never heard the explanation given before.
Castle needs to be in at crunch time period. His defense, rebounding and entry passes are reason enough to keep him in. They won't do it, but Vassell should be the odd man out. At least right now.
CP sends a message: "We got to get to that point where all that 'young guy stuff' got to go out the window. We pros just like everybody else and there's a grit and a will that you got to have in this league in order to figure out ways to win those games, especially on the road."

Wemby getting impatient?
Wemby wasn't into talking much about posting one of the greatest Christmas Day games in NBA history:

Because everyone cried and having Julian in there instead of a ball handler Monday

I don't blame Wemby. He's on a team that just isn't matching his level. I'd be frustrated and want to push pressure on the Spurs if I was him too. This isn't a typical superstar. It's one we've never seen before.
Merry Christmas fellas. Hope y'all all had a great day.
