Never seen a team shoot worse from FT than the spurs tonight who were carried by the refs lmao

Chandler_Bings | Pistons

That sequence where Wemby got 2 ft’s and missed and then they got the offensive board and missed 2 more free throws was stellar.

It’s amazing what happens when Herb plays. But we can’t rely on every team being as shit at FTs as SAS this game.

Also, holy crap, what a dunk by Yves to put the team up 7. I swear, it’s like he’s downloading a young Giannis’s moveset. You can tell who watches the Pelicans and who doesn’t by whether or not they call Missi a rim-running big.

TimothyN | Pelicans

That’s why I don’t want to give up on him yet. There is a lot of potential there.

Aromatic_Goal_1201 | Nuggets

Dude missi has huge potential I’ve always thought he looked promising.

Moves so well out there.

They should try for missi queen to work. Lots of bigs can learn to shoot a bit these days

AnotherStatsGuy | Pelicans

If Queen masters the David West style mid range jump shot that paired so well with Chris Paul, that should still create enough space.

Defensive have figured him out and he’s hit the rookie wall. Same with Fears.

They’re both awful defenders.

Chandler_Bings | Pistons

Good win for the Pels.

Wemby seems to struggle with physical guys like Zion and Julius Randle thus far.

he is struggling againts them, just put them on him and wemby gets shut down easy, not as hard as it seems lol

Wemby struggling at the 3 last 2 games

Not sure if he should take that many

Well you did lose to the Raptors so I guess it made us feel a lil’ better

thank you for losing to the raptors, yall are the hero, distracting the masses from watching the spurs losing to the worst team on the west lol, we would’ve been flamed

coolmentalgymnast | Spurs

We think the game is done as soon as we have the lead lol. Somehow make a comeback to cut 20 point lead just to give up

Pels bros, play in is few wins from here, keep winning

Atlanta-Anomaly | Hawks

It’s actually insane a guy like Wemby is shooting 10 3’s. Modern nba can be so stupid sometimes. Get in the freaking paint dude. You aren’t Steph Curry.

Is Zion Wemby’s kryptonite?

identitycrisis56 | Pelicans

5 | 10 hours ago

It weird because he can’t be fast enough laterally or get low enough to stay in front of him, but obviously he could do a number on him playing safety or helpside.

but they had him guarding him one on one on the perimeter for far too long in the first half and it was bbq chicken. I wonder what the thought process was there. They thought queen would handle the ball more so castle guards him? Felt like they overthought that part a bit.

Spurs had an opportunity to win this after they came back from the deficit, but apparent the Pelicans are a tough match up according to commentary

RealGertle627 | SAS

Spurs came out flat. Finally woke up near the end up the 3rd and overcame a 20 point deficit to take the lead in the 4th, only to get bodied in the end. Shot 29% from 3 and 59% from the line. Abysmal. Hey but Dev came back and looked pretty good, aside from his ²⁄₈ from 3

TimothyN | Pelicans

Zion shortly rebuilding his reputation and value with games like this.

If the hornets got buzz buzz, do the Pelicans get bawk bawk? Many questions. Missi seems to improve game by game.

Agreeable_Cattle_691 | Mavericks

Why did Wemby take 10 3s?

YeaMits | Spurs

1 | 10 hours ago

spurs need a true power forward to guard people like zion. too bad the only power forward they have just sits on the bench for no reason and gets zero playing time

ForneauCosmique | Spurs

1 | 10 hours ago

That was rough. We’ve got a ways to go to be contenders

astanton1862 | Spurs

-1 | 10 hours ago

And yet they are still in second place in the west. The rest of the west has been ass since Christmas. I only wish the Spurs were able to take this opportunity to get some separation from the pack and catch up with OKC.

ForneauCosmique | Spurs

1 | 10 hours ago

We may be 2nd but we’re not good enough to win it all. I’ve seen plenty of top seeds in the season not do anything meaningful in the playoffs, especially when they’re younger teams. We still play like a young team. We’ve definitely improved over past years, we’re going in the right direction but we’re not all there yet

Did the Pelicans start 4 forwards and a C? Crazy starting lineup but I guess it worked
