Asked Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama if his staredown and double tech exchange with De’Andre Hunter was the catalyst in his energy turning up.

Soooooo much sheit talking from the young man, and he gets to fly to the next city with a big, fat L

Like I said, they blew goats.
We should have had a technical FT and the ball with 11 seconds

Quote:
As Fox told The Athletic in October after declining the Kings' three-year, $165 million extension offer, and reiterated this week during a podcast with another one of Paul's clients, the Warriors' Draymond Green, the notion of playing for a team that is perpetually grappling for a back-end playoff spot simply doesn't match the vision he has for the rest of his career.
Quote:
Meanwhile, rival executives are monitoring the Fox situation closely and league sources say one team in particular the San Antonio Spurs is positioning itself to pursue the Houston native as a possible partner for Victor Wembanyama, should Fox become available. Barring a significant Kings turnaround, others are surely close behind.
I've always liked Fox and his game. He just turned 27, solid defender, does a really good job attacking the rim, really good in the pick and roll. On the other hand, he's not a great 3 point shooter, so spacing with Castle would be clunky. Also, for as good as he's been, Sacramento has only made the playoffs once with him leading them. I think he fits the timeline, but he's going to want a super max contract.
The Spurs sit in 11th, one half game back on teams 8-10, and one game back on 6&7.
A Spurs win tonight plus them at least in 8th-10th place in West, and possibly higher.
Warriors play Twolves, both one half game ahead.

Mitch please give us more of this Vic-Sochan-Dev-Castle-shooter lineup, my goodness the core guys look good together
Vic has 6 blocks at halftime. 10+ on the menu?
Victor Wembanyama is officially faster to 200 career three-pointers than Stephen Curry, James Harden and Ray Allen (the Top 3 in threes in NBA history).

Looking pretty nice
This game is off the rails.
Joel Embiid was FURIOUS after picking up an offensive foul on Wemby 😳

Disastrous 3rd quarter for the Spurs.
Then Castle checked in.

Oh no Champagnie. Game losing mistake.
Two killer mistakes by Julian in a row.

Make that 2 game losing mistakes.
Julian made 3s this quarter but two bonehead turnovers he did in the final minute
Up one with the ball and Champagnie turns it over twice. Just awful from an NBA player.
Game was there for the taking and the Spurs tanked it.
I thought Devin looked bad. He made a lot of dumb decisions too.
That was a frustrating game to watch and one we should have won. I get why CP3 was in there but Castle didn't see the court at all in the 4th. He was even at the scorer's table to check in too, then went back. Could have really helped the defense and decision making to end the game.

Embiid had 181 consecutive games with 10+ points snapped. Which is hilarious because he barely ever plays consecutive games.
Watching Julian choke the game away the last two minutes while Castle got zero minutes in the fourth after bringing us back in the third is the kind of thing I'd expect from Pop.
Yeah that was bad. I thought Mitch has generally done a good job but he made some dumb decisions last night. Castle should have been in the game.FTAG 2000 said:

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.
