Just a great dude, glad he gets minutes

ForneauCosmique | Spurs

We should start him tbh

drippo-potamus | Spurs

Wild to think he was our main backup big, not too long ago

He started games and everything, it was so painful to watch.

Seriously, Mitch really didn’t like Sochan to choose Biyombo over him lol

mydicksmellsgood | Spurs

26 | 18 hours ago

Sochan wanted minutes. Biyombo just happy to be here

wryano | Spurs

1 | 14 hours ago

Sochan wanted minutes

and now he’s averaging even less minutes for the Knicks

no idea why he didn’t just stick it out and ride the end of the Spurs bench

asamulya | Spurs

20 | 18 hours ago

Big difference. Biyombo is at the end of his career and okay with playing limited games. Sochan hasn’t even entered his peak and needs to develop his game and needs minutes.

superrealaccount2 | Spurs

9 | 18 hours ago

And Sochan was never a center.

Rage_101

6 | 18 hours ago

Mitch chose experienced bigs to help Wemby develop. I’m sad Sochan had to go, but it’s Carter Bryant who’s taken his place, not Biyombo.

xbhaskarx | Spurs

Why would Biyombo who has one of the five worst career +/- in NBA history be needed to “help Wemby develop”?

collax974

2 | 13 hours ago

Show him everything you must not do as a big

kawhi21 | NBA

5 | 17 hours ago

He may legitimately be the worst player in the NBA that actually gets any playing time. Loved him as an energy guy like 9 years ago but he looks like he’s never played basketball before lol

JDtheProtector | Spurs

69 | 19 hours ago

Gain a game on the thunder and their schedule is significantly more difficult than the spurs. I like the spurs odds to get the 1 seed lol

WoweeZoweeDeluxe | Spurs

33 | 19 hours ago

Yes but probably an easier bracket as the second seed

RoRl62 | Spurs

38 | 19 hours ago

I’d honestly rather have home court advantage against the Thunder in the conference finals than the easier bracket. I feel confident we can beat anyone, but we need every advantage we can get when facing the reigning champs.

CommodoreIrish | Spurs

7 | 18 hours ago

Nuggets are scary.

wryano | Spurs

7 | 14 hours ago

i mean maybe to other teams… but to us, not really?

we beat them once without Wemby back in November, and then were up 20 against them two weeks ago also without Wemby and only lost because Kornet was playing hobbled so we had to start running random ass small ball lineups… and Murray went crazy in the 4th

Jokic had to play 39 minutes and put up 31/20/12 against a Spurs team with no center just to win by 5 points

HereComesJustice | Spurs

16 | 19 hours ago

west is brutal, secure HCA. need any and all advantages

kuhzada | Spurs

2 | 18 hours ago

Especially since the FBC has been probably the loudest arena this season, ain’t no way that it won’t be a massive advantage in a tight series

Clarkey7163 | Spurs

11 | 19 hours ago

idk if you froze it now we’d have lakers 2nd round? Vs. OKC probably having Nuggets 2nd round?

We’ve not played march Luka yet

JDtheProtector | Spurs

13 | 19 hours ago

Yeah I’m not sure there is a substantial enough difference between Lakers and nuggets that I’d be willing to give up the chance at home court in every series we play

WoweeZoweeDeluxe | Spurs

5 | 18 hours ago

Much rather face lakers who match up poorly with us than Denver,

CommodoreIrish | Spurs

3 | 18 hours ago

Stopping Luka is easier said than done.

polyscimajor | Spurs

5 | 18 hours ago

Spurs would take the Lakers any day over the nuggets. We have guards to put on Luka, but the Lakers don’t anyone to guard Wemby or our own guards.

ExcellentPlant2055

4 | 17 hours ago

You don’t need to stop him. Bother him as much as you can and he will be in a foul mood. Just let him score an inefficient 50 while forcing him to defend on the other end. He will be wore down. Meanwhile Reaves is also cone on defense. I am much more worried about Denver if they are healthy.

tMeepo | Spurs

1 | 9 hours ago

It’s not Luka I am worried about on the Lakers. It’s that old man deciding to be 27 again.

I think Lakers wolves and nuggets are even for us, I wouldn’t choose one over the other. So I would rather get home court.

Also, I want to play suns instead of clippers. A healthy clippers might be difficult too. And if we are first seed there might be a chance we play blazers or warriors in first round lol

WoweeZoweeDeluxe | Spurs

1 | 11 hours ago

He shoots 11-29 all the time, great player but wemby is far scarier to Gameplan for

WoweeZoweeDeluxe | Spurs

1 | 11 hours ago

Stopping Jokic is much much harder

AfroHouseManiac

1 | 16 hours ago

Who does Jokic guard in a series, it won’t be Wemby.

WoweeZoweeDeluxe | Spurs

1 | 11 hours ago

Who does Luka guard?

SBKSamurai | Spurs

4 | 19 hours ago

Matchups are important but that 4th home game guaranteed, especially for one of the best home teams in the league, is probably more important. If you’re gonna make a run you have to beat the best anyway, might as well have 4 home games every series if you need it.

Prudent_Fish1358 | Spurs

That tiebreaker babyyyyy

There be sharks in these waters. The smell of blood is faint but the apex predator is near.

dwrek24 | Spurs

5 | 18 hours ago

I dont particularly like the Spurs odds still but this puts them back in the running. I still think a team thats only lost 16 times through 73 is unlikely to lose three times in 9. And if you’re counting on only 2 lossses, the Spurs have to end the season on a 16 game win streak.

Neither is impossible but neither is all that likely.

Spurs (prolly) getting the 1 seed after the projection for them was around mid to low seed and the thunder having an amazing start to the season is honestly insane

20+ lead, and no one even scored 20pts. This is classic spurs basketball, I love it.

I wish they would call up DJG from the G-league so he can get some minutes in the regular season. Put him in over Jordan McLaughlin. The Spurs are rounding out their shooting now with Castle and Harper becoming respectable 3-pt shooters, but it never hurts to have another flamethrower and DJG could potentially become that for them.

Wemby could have gone for 84 this game if he wanted to cheese the stats.
