The San Antonio Spurs (27-13) defeat the Milwaukee Bucks (17-23) 119-101 fueled by a team effort
Wemby had 22, Giannis had 21, Castle 19, Fox & Kuzma with 18.
watching Giannis on the Bucks is like Absolute Batman staying in Gotham
one of the third string performances of all time but it is what it is (where was this in OKC????)
giannis and the bucks are like a married couple that know the marriage is over. but still stay together because of the kids.
Shhhh Thenasis is right there he doesn’t know yet
OKC defend a hundred times better. Need to show up against minny, losing way too much with horrific offense so tonight was a welcomed surprise.
all I am saying is that we shot 50% from 3 as soon as Wemby and KJ shaved their heads (sans garbage time) and that can’t be a coincidence
They have opened their chakra gates, league is fucked
And Minny will be on the back end of a b2b aswell, at home for us.
Our threes fell.
giannis is the problem

You two whiny bozos have been on EVERY single bucks post tonight trashing Giannis. Take a breath lads
“Every single Bucks post” and it’s just two lmao. Keep staying mad over comments in a basketball sub
Yeah and you made your own separate post to hate on him bc you ran out of threads to spread hate on
And you’re too dumb enough to be able to read different usernames
Giannis chatting to Wemby with his hand over his mouth at the end and he wasnt looking too happy. Rumor mill gonna love that.
“Why don’t ya’ll want me, man??”
We want him but all we got are Olynk, Sochan and two dozen tamales to give the Bucks.
Only regular pork tamales, though. Not giving up the spicy pork.
Gotta get some delias chicken and cheese
Throw in some churros and you got a deal
Is the 2 dozen a limit in the CBA?
Dude I wish, unfortunately the only thing more exciting than having a Giannis/Wemby frontcourt is having 2 future all-star guards that are under 22, so we realistically have nothing worthwhile to trade for him.
I know potential is high and they’ve shown a lot really early on but I think people throw around all-star too easily. Dejounte Murray is a 1 time all star, Jamal Murray is a finally 1 time all star, Fox is a 1 time all star, Brandon Ingram is a 1 time all star, DeMar in 17 years is an all star 6 times.
They’re on really solid trajectory but being an all star is tough and progress isn’t always easy and consistent
True, I probably could’ve done with a “potential” in there, but I still agree with the FO that planning around our 3-man young core developing is a better plan than trading the potential for a 2-4 year window with Giannis, even though those 2-4 years would be an absolute blast
I mean it is mostly about the ‘talent level’ than actually getting the popularity votes. You can definitely say Jamal Murray has All Star talent before he was voted or selected.
Also, the trajectories for careers are not a straight line up. Especially in current times where you can have ‘All NBA’ level of talent and seasons but then, you can have a rough year afterwards where you are now in trade talks. Looking at Trae Young and Ja Morant with those.
Honestly, I want to see how far we can go with our current young group before just throwing it away as we are finally getting a playoff level season from the team.
Fox and some picks, bucks need some picks
10 2nd rounders, Jeremy and Kelly?
I think we have like 17 2nd round picks.
Honestly I think it would be a smart trade if the Bucks would actually take Fox + our Hawks’ 1st round + some later-round picks (Edit: along with some of Sochan/Olynyk/Bryant, otherwise they’d probably want both our 1st round picks) for Giannis. I don’t think they would go for that, though.
And on a purely culture-based level I’d be resistant to trading off Fox just because we courted him so hard last year and really pushed to make him Wemby’s #2 for the next few years, shipping him off less than a year later back to another non-contending tragedy of a team would feel downright disrespectful and feels off-brand for how the Spurs usually operate.
But I’m not the front office, if they do pull that off and I get to watch Giannis/Wemby for the next few years I’ll obviously be ecstatic
Fox, picks, sochan, thats it lol
Spurs would take him but not at a high price. They don’t want to break up their young core. They might offer Carter Bryant and 2nd rounders.
Nah Giannis was probably like “Yo Wemby I just finished reading Crime and Punishment yesterday. Killer book man. Have you gotten around to Dostoevsky or are you still working through the Stormlight Archives?”
Wemby finished that shit before the book even came out. I think I remember he got a signed copy before it was released
“How do you do fellow kidsreaders”
-LeBron
Oh how I’d love to the cameraman right next to them
He was telling him the best places to meditate
snake through and through
Despite the final score… the game was not that close. B2A
Our third stringers were so bad we sent the crowd home without banging the drums lmao
probably could’ve pushed for a 50 point blowout if it weren’t garbage time by halfway through the 3rd quarter
Belt to ass feels like a compliment, that game was incredibly boring… for everyone on the court
Carter Bryant is a Golden Retriever in spirit. He has the energy and the ball handling skills of one.
Pick a different breed, Air Bud had superior ball handling skills.
Carter “Great” Dayne Bryant
Man, I want him to do so well. Infuriating watching him blow dunks and easy layups.
Send him back to Austin to work on his dunks. He made one there!!
Gotta be one of the worst players in the league. Starting to seem like our FO is incapable of drafting nba talent outside of a top 5 pick
Literally name a single player from this draft we could’ve taken instead that wouldn’t also be a project player requiring development right now
Joan Beringer and Hugo Gonzalez, they are raw themselves but they have a nba sklll and motor skill that allows them to develop much more smoothly.
And a guy who Sam Vecenie was screaming about being underrated, Noah Penda.
And Spurs should have taken Kobe Saunders at 38. Delano Banton with actual basketball iq, toughness and skill. He was a surefire first round pick when you watch his Nevada tape but “age” and “mountain west”.. I personally had Kobe Saunders mocked to the spurs at 38 on my fanspo draft boards multiple times but Brian is smarter than me.
why did Olynyk goaltend Cole Anthony’s airball at the end lmao
Denial of enemy morale lol
I thought I was tripping, they did blow the whistle for goaltend, right?? He was being a bro letting get to triple digits 😂😂
feel like it shouldn’t be a goaltend when the shot clearly isn’t going to even touch the basket
make em run laps!
Bruh I need to see the replay cause it looked like the ball was past the rim lol
“Be nice Kelly!” Rule think
Stupid ass play lmao
Wemby and Giannis yap sesh over a minute long at the end there
I think just over some basketball moves (or maybe specifically the play they clashed knees on) but I’m sure the news cycle will be very normal about that
They are both Nike athletes so it makes sense they are probably somewhat friends
Wemby was on the same team as Giannis’s younger brother in 2021-22 (ASVEL, Tony Parker’s team). Giannis said that’s how he first met him
At least Thanasis got a bucket
Castle with the game-high +36 in 26 minutes
hell yeah
Free Giannis
Free them all from Doc
Doc is definitely getting fired soon. No coach can survive these sorts of performances.
Ja Morant get ready to learn Milwaukeese buddy
Great palate cleanser after this rough as hell stretch. now its time to get revenge against the Timberpups!
Awoo, boys, glad we got to take turns beating up on Milwaukee before the rematch
Also got shots down so that was nice. They will need them against the Timberpups
KPJ going 0/9 and -35 in 23 mins in an 18 point loss is impressively bad
At what point do the Bucks and Giannis stop playing PR chicken with each other and just accept that they need to split up?
they love attention
Castle +36 w 19points and 10 assist, love it
Don’t let the score fool you this game was nowhere near that close.
Ya I went to grab dinner after 3rd quarter and came back and saw we “only” won by 18. I was like wtf happened in 4th?
All time third stringers performance by the Spurs
I was wondering when this thread was going to go up. I was at the game and 3⁄4 of the crowd was gone by mid 4th quarter
Monk Wemby on minutes restriction outplayed Giannis well damn
Jon Hurst Is gonna see this game and double down by trading future draft capital for an MPJ, I’m sorry Bucks fans
The Bucks are competing with the ‘04-05 Lakers for the worst regular season performance with a consensus top 5 player
If I ever catch Doc Rivers lacking it’s on sight
Yeah this is Doc Rivers fault
I really want the Bucks to fire him so we get to see them be the same shitty awful team that they are
Bucks roster is ass but Doc Rivers truly has no fucking clue what he’s doing out there. The game has passed him by completely.
Refrain from commenting unless you watch every bucks game please
Giannis, leave, its over
BALD BOYS ERA IS HERE
its insane how bad the bucks are. its definitely time for the bucks to trade Giannnis and start the rebuild process straight aways. good bounce back from my spurs .
A third quarter demolition job.
Stephon Castle with 0 turnovers, love it and adore it while you can, please keep it like this brother because every other game it is fucking killing us

One game I can’t watch and the spurs decide to shoot like the 2018 rockets
What are you talking about? They’ve BEEN SHOOTING like the 2018 Rockets (vs the Warriors game 7 😓)
Giannis and Wemby talked to each other with their mouths covered after the game. Giannis to the Spurs?
Doc Rivers must have some sort of hypnotic stare or something. How does this guy keep getting work?
giannis, buddy, we’re here for you
BOY HOWDY DOES NOTHING GET ME MORE HYPED THA A TEAM EFFORT WIN
GO SPURS GO
I don’t feel like enough vitriol from neutral fans about the Bucks has been directed at Glenn, instead of the roster. The Bucks supporting cast has been very disappointing, not arguing that one.
I have not watched a single second of the Bucks this year, and until Doc Rivers is fired I will continue to not watch this shitshow
this bucks team is unwatchable.
Third quarter for the ages
i wish i had the job security of doc rivers
5/3/3 Sweet sweet validation.
Fraudnis getting blown out b2b, most overrated glazed bum I’ve ever seen
yall called me crazy for saying the bucks will forever be doa as long as giannis is on the roster
time for my nightly renegade downvote
giannis lives rent free in his head lol. its pathetic
