I get that fans love their rookies and potential but man people gotta chill with him lmao

Hes been excellent all year. No one is changing their opinion on him after one rough game lmao

SloshaPacana

-64 | 3 days ago

I’m not saying you should change your opinion, he’s been good especially considering how young he is but his jumper is awful, it was bad in college too

RealGertle627 | SAS

29 | 3 days ago

He’s at 30% for the season? It’s not great, but it’s not mega ass. A few more games like NY or WAS (⁵⁄₇ &. ³⁄₅) and it would look average

MikeyBastard1 | Spurs

13 | 3 days ago

Harper was something like 37% on the catch and shoot 3 in college. In the NBA this year he’s 36% on the catch and shoot three. The ability is there.

Wait Luke Kornet went from Boston to SA and suddenly became prime Tim Duncan??

Objective-Product361

140 | 3 days ago

This is a demonstration of how important depth is to a team:

In the previous washington game, Fox was ass but Harper torched them.

Last game against Atlanta, Fox and Harper played bad but Wemby, Castle, and Vassell won them the game.

Tonight, wemby was mid and harper played horrible, but Fox and Kornet sealed the game.

You just can’t expect a deep team to have a total off night completely, at least not often. When a few players are off, others will step up.

TheKeviKs | Spurs

17 | 3 days ago

This was 100% a loss last year. That team is legit.

TemperedTorture | Spurs

6 | 2 days ago

It’s funny that I said exactly the same thing in the Spurs subreddit early in the season that our depth will allow us to rotate hot players night to night since anyone here can drop 15-20 on a given night and ppl didn’t want to believe it just then. Glad to see it’s finally sinking in.

Just praying for a top 2 pick. I’m an AJ guy myself but I just want to find our cornerstone and watch the pieces fall around them.

Thehelloman0 | Spurs

62 | 3 days ago

Harper was horrible tonight, by far his worst game he’s played for us. He missed multiple shots he usually makes.

Wizards fouled Castle a ton but he missed some shots he should’ve made. He was still tearing up their defense despite missing so many shots though. A lot of assists from him and opening up of looks for other guys.

ifuckwithit | Spurs

26 | 3 days ago

Considering how well he’s played for us I’ll take the occasional bad game. He also had a rough one against Cleveland. It happens, he’ll be alright

Objective-Product361

15 | 3 days ago

Yes. This was his absolute worst game of the season. Absolutely horrible. He’ll bounce back though.

Rage_101

12 | 3 days ago

His shots didn’t land, but he did his job defensively. Horrible is a bit harsh. If he was horrible he wouldn’t be second on the team in +/-.

His offense just wasn’t at his normal standard. With Washington having no bigs to field he was up against smaller, more agile players which is going to be more challenging than blowing by a big dude. That’s why Kornet had a field day dunking on people too.

Thehelloman0 | Spurs

1 | 2 days ago

Single game plus minus is not a good indicator of how a player played at all. Harper mostly made good decisions last night but that’s the minimum expectation of him considering how he’s played so far this year imo.

carelesssportsfan89 | Spurs

12 | 3 days ago

and thats why we need fox. harper and castle’s potential are fantastic but both still need a lot of development before the are ready for being the spurs longterm backcourt.

plap_plap | Spurs

5 | 3 days ago

Better he gets that out of his system now than against OKC. We might lose both of those, but I at least wanna see us compete now that the Thunder want vengeance.

Sad-Breakfast-8942 | Wizards

He got like 10 foul calls bro literally everytime he drive he got to the line.

Thehelloman0 | Spurs

He drew a lot of free throws because the wizards were fouling him. That’s all I meant.

What a luxury we have in the back court. Couple of off nights from a few dudes but don’t worry we can just whip out De’Aaron mf’ing Fox to drop 27. Also Luke Kornet is the best, what a guy. Not the most impressive night for SA but got the job done.

GGTae | Spurs

-23 | 3 days ago

classic Sean and Jacob :) terrible casters who don’t know names of moves or history of other teams

Uncle_Freddy | SAS

10 | 3 days ago

I wouldn’t go anywhere near that far, they’re plenty good casters overall. They give plenty of credit to opposing teams, Sean gives great deep dives into strategy, and their only real downside (for neutral fans anyway) is that they don’t make excited calls when the opposing team does something big or notable against the Spurs.

Your opinion is yours and mine is mine though, just offering my own perspective.

n1nj4k1d21 | SAS

I’d rather listen to Sean and Jacob all day though

oh well, not your cup of tea then. nothing wrong with that. i have the opinion though that your taste may be terrible lol, but of course that’s just an opinion based on your take that they are terrible casters.

GGTae | Spurs

let’s just say I am much more exigeant guy and most american casters are pretty bad, the product could be way better with good casters

waffle-winner | Spurs

1 | 3 days ago

That was a headscratcher. Came up again in the discussion recently when Washington traded him to SA in the offseason.

The_Real_Will | Spurs

23 | 3 days ago

for a very depleted Washington team there’s quite a lot to like from them that game. first half was pretty dire but the 2nd half was pretty good, went on some good runs. Carrington is a cool player, but I thought Johnson and Vukcevic also were great. expected loss for them but theres some nice young pieces there that realistically could make some noise in the next few years

violagoyf | Wizards

1 | 2 days ago

Vuk is really talented offensively but the game has mostly looked too fast for him outside of garbage time, and he’s been maybe the worst defensive big in the league as a result. If things start to slow down for him a bit I think he’s a really intriguing player.

GGezpzMuppy | Spurs

17 | 3 days ago

Coming along just nicely.

UncoBeefWang | Spurs

20 | 3 days ago

we kinda sleepwalked through that

also note that despite having an absolute stinker of a second quarter and being all their starters down, the Wizards won the other three quarters. Very promising team.

Objective-Product361

8 | 3 days ago

This is a sign of a great team. You can lose 2 or even 3 quarters but you still win because of that one massive quarter. Spurs stomped them in the 2nd quarter and just kept them at bay for the rest of the game. Kinda like how OKC sleepwalking to a win.

Quality tanking.

It was quality because we couldn’t close them out, they just kept cutting the lead back to like 8 and forcing us to keep playing hard. An ethical tank.

Kind-Row-9327 | Spurs

If the medical team thinks Wemby should be on minutes restriction, then he should be on minutes restriction for as long as the medical team deems necessary. Especially after the Kawhi bullshit, I have 100% confidence in Spurs’ medical team (not that my opinion matters though).

I’d just ignore keyboard warriors like that guy lol.

ifuckwithit | Spurs

17 | 3 days ago

Spurs fans like you are ridiculous man. I get if you’re frustrated if hes not playing at all but he’s giving us 20+ min now in one of the tightest stretch of games we have this season. Also It’s his 5th game back from being out a month lol

Titronnica | SAS

11 | 3 days ago

L take.

This is EXACTLY the type of game you do not risk your star player for.

The Wizards were undermanned and are struggling. Why risk Wemby in a game the team should very much be able to close out without him. (which they did)

We want Wemby to be good for a playoff run, and letting him risk injury when he is still recovering and potentially vulnerable is how you get an AD situation.

TemperedTorture | Spurs

So? I’d rather see 21 minutes of Wemby than 0 if it means he doesn’t get injured.

Titronnica | SAS

2 | 3 days ago

Do you know the Spurs as an organization, at all?

The team has been doing this since the later days of the Big 3. Who cares if Wemby gets that label, he was getting that label before he was ever drafted.

The Spurs know how to protect players from themselves.

Knock it off. Wemby wasn’t even playing motivated this game. Let the guy sit and his team will take care of the business. We literally play OKC the next game. Best for vic to just reserve energy.

TemperedTorture | Spurs

3 | 3 days ago

He also literally just lost his grandma and it’s getting closer and closer to christmas. He’s still producing in our wins and having an impact in the 21 minutes he’s on. Some of our fans are infuriating to have to read their shit takes because you’d think we’re bottom two not the literal fucking #2 seed in the West.

Thehelloman0 | Spurs

5 | 3 days ago

He’s 21 years old and 7’4. It makes sense to be cautious and it isn’t affecting our record. Building up slowly when coming back from an injury is a good idea. How many times have we seen guys rush back from an injury in the playoffs and get hurt again because they pushed themselves so hard?

For real. Wemby wasn’t taking this game serious. Mitch did the right job of taking him out after he logged 20 mins. No worries, our guys can handle tonight. Just take a good rest on the bench, big fella. You got a bigger task to face. Stop the OKC revenge game.
