Spurs are 22-2 when Vassell shoots 40% or better from three.

The two losses:

• @PHX with no Wemby, Castle, Harper
• @CLE with no Wemby, Castle, Kornet

Wemby plus shooting is an unstoppable combo. Hope the FO keep building on it

Hes been incredible as of late

Zach Lowe gave Vassell a shoutout in today’s pod. It was nice to see.

It’s nice how he and Champ have been alternating their poor shooting nights. But when they’re both hitting, the opponent has no chance.

His spacing and shot creation are absolutely crucial to this team’s ability to win games.

Plumlee got to bang the drum tonight

What is the correlation between these two lmao

I haven’t seen that dude play one minute lmao. Good to have him just in case tho

That’s Spurs Legend Mason ‘Undefeated’ Plumlee to you friend

Played in one game, scored zero points, and he still got to bang the victory drum.

And Chris Paul.

Was he not with the Nuggets when they won it?

I had to either include them in my example list or the hospital Thunder and 76ers. I chose fairness this time 😔

If the team with the 9th best record in the league isn’t a playoff team then there aren’t many playoff teams.

Based on what?

Good tune up team

Spurs are probably in better form, but OKC has just had so many people out its wild. 

We saw the impact of having just AJ Mitchell back against the Nuggets. 24pts on 65TS% - he hasn’t played in six weeks. 

This team is going to be an absolute monster in the Playoffs as jDub will be fresh and Caruso is being bubble wrapped for then too.

Maybe there might be a bit of realization if the team smacks Boston and Minnesota back to back in the next couple of games.

5-3

doesn’t feel like its Denver’s years sadly

WCF is gonna be a treat for any neutral fan

wish we could play you guys some more, but yeah Knicks are a bad matchup

Knicks-Spurs finals is the best way of legitimizing the NBA Cup and therefore Adam Silver should lock in and rig the playoffs for it to happen

Mikal “only shows up against the Spurs” Bridges

They must be title contenders from the way they stop such a dominant team in rhythm like that

Man Knicks have our number, and for some reason the hornets plays us hard and beat us too.

Wolves also own their asses.

I just do not get how Mikal going Super Saiyan against us all the time.

Yeah I was watching the game Sunday with a bball fan who hadn’t watched much NBA for a few years.  He was like, “How are they not the favorites? How do you stop that?”

Was just like, well, traditionally young teams like them don’t win the title. Wouldn’t exactly be a shocker though.

The biggest counter argument is that Wemby’s defense does not look like it needs playoff reps

Unless they play against the Knicks.

Hawks: 7

OKC: 8

I AM GOING TO START A DIALOGUE

(Jk)

Shockingly good rating numbers.

Nah dude, they’re just a tough ass match up for us. 

Knicks are a tough matchup.

Og defends Wemby well and Brunson + KAT can torch us from downtown.

No way. Knicks locked us up at that game and they have a bunch of Spurs killers.

I mean we beat you in Vegas too.

But that’s part of the homecort advantage. Especially against a young team.

Nah. Bridges just decided to not suck for one night to justify the 5 FRPs they gave up for him.

Excuses, excuses.

Them young boys comin

Is Ja still fine in the west?

We had a chance when Shai was out but you guys just kept winning lmao, at least we’re comfortably keeping the second seed at this point

They had JB. He just chose violence over a dumb call and got himself ejected.

Dawg it’s the Celtics I’m convinced if Jordan Walsh was their #1 option they’d still win 40 games

Hooray for moral victories, I guess? What happened the last time we played the Celtics though?

Brown played

I’m sorry, we really stuck on no Vuc here? lol and brown lost his cool. That’s on him.

Playoffs is all about matchups

They matchup best against your team so maybe you should think about that

I mean, OKC probably wins, but ain’t nobody ripping anyone apart. Lol

You must not know basketball And don’t have the breath to show you Rec this 4 years from now Maybe then you will understand
