Did this team just forget how to play basketball?

Terrible game from Fox so far

I guess with Fox and Harper both healthy, you probably could afford one of them being off. But with either of them out, you desperately need points from the one who's out there. Not enough early enough from Fox tonight.

Because one of them, the really tall one who fashions himself a guard, likes to play in the three point line. Dude had like nine turnovers tonight and as well as he played, is a huge reason why the Warriors came back in the first half. 

I have a love/hate relationship with his style . It fucked against the Bulls but fucked us against the Warriors

I have renounced my Mavs fandom, for the Spurs.

Through a set of unusual circumstances, I became a Mavs fan as a young kid living outside of San Antonio the year before David Robinson arrived. I stuck with it as a kid to my detriment, but I enjoyed the rivalry with the Spurs and Dirk's time in Dallas with the one title. I also loved watching Luka play and have stuck with them for decades. But the Luka trade was one of the worst decisions ever by a sports franchise. As I get older, I realize there really isn't any need to be a long suffering fan of a pro sports franchise. Why devote any attention or money to a team that so grossly shoots themselves in the dick.

We live in the SA area and my kids are Spurs fans. We were at the Rockets game and they were all going crazy for the Spurs and Wemby and I realized it's time to join up. The team's future is insanely bright. Happy to be along for the ride.

Yup. All this size, but let’s get in a three point contest with Steph Curry.

Right now, Wemby is an artist. He can do almost anything on the basketball court, so much so that it is just commonplace for him to do things no one has ever seen. Amazing shit, virtuoso stuff, young Jordan-like. He does things that can't be explained or recreated, regularly. This is all fine for now, and great entertainment. What Wemby needs to be, in order to reach his full potential, is a craftsman: someone who can produce the same product perfectly over and over again. The Wemby go-to move will be utterly unstoppable, and there will be nothing boring about doing it over and over again until the other team has to double (or triple) to stop it--and then the structure of the offense will flow from there. When/if they get there, that version of the Spurs will be absolutely dominant.

Kerr totally outclassed Mitch. So many times, in the 2nd and 3rd quarters especially, the team reverted offensively to Rec Center pickup game habits. Forcing bad shots and flashy passes instead of relying on fundamentals. That's a downside of being so young. On defense, the team allowed Golden State to take way too many uncontested threes. I agree that Sochan should have gotten more minutes. Mitch needs to figure out how to get Fox more involved on offense. The team seems to flow best when the offense runs through Wemby, and if he's doubled, he finds the open man, swing the ball to Fox so he can create his own shot, with Wemby/Castle in position to clean up and putback missed shots.

We also very clearly have a good thing going with French Vanilla. Kornet has some unbelievably open looks because the opponents are so preoccupied with Wemby. He has been such a great addition.
