Night and day from earlier this season. Shot with great confidence and even had a slick pass to KJ that there’s no way he makes just a few months ago. Confidence is building.

Great test for Dylan tonight going against Camara/Jrue with Clingan behind them (without Wembys gravity). Results were uneven but love how he competed. Was a monster defensively as well.

Also hyped for Keldon locking up 6MOTY tonight and CB shooting with confidence.

I love this squad, man. Give us anybody in the playoffs. This team will be ready. GSG!

Spurs held a team that takes 25 FTA/G to 10, and Advija, who takes 9.4, to just 4.

It was rough with the turnovers but 29/6/6 is still nice. Notice there are not already 4 threads about his stats like last game lol. Karma farm is closed tonight.

Good practice for what’s to come!

kanyeguisada | Spurs

There are a small handful of Spurs fans that constantly crap on Fox. They’re in shambles tonight. Besides scoring, he did all of the little things that made us win this game.

Wemby will get a max contract, Castle will get paid the year after that, and we can’t lose Harper the year after that, those are going to be our next Big Three. But admittedly at some point Fox’s 40 million a year will come into play.

But he wanted to come to the Spurs, we gave him a contract an All-Star like him deserved, and at the end of the day I know the Spurs front office will figure out the money to make our next dynasty happen without trading him.

I’ve always hated Spurs fans who shit on our players like that. Happened with LMA and DeMar too

ifuckwithit | Spurs

brother he’s going to be making 55M on average but otherwise you are correct. He fucked up against Denver no doubt about it but his impact is bigger than the stat sheet imo.

gregatronn | Spurs

4 | 6 hours ago

Averaging it out hides that only his final year overlaps with extensions so they aren’t really in trouble cap wise.

Averages are nice and all but context is important too. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/yearly

If Clippers lose tonight, would the win over Clippers on Friday give the Blazers the tie breaker? 2-2 between teams but better conference record.

Can someone tell me how the Blazers kept coming back? I wasn’t watching that closely.

PoonGo0n | Spurs

They competed hard defensively, forced some bad turnovers from Fox and Dylan.

dreamweaver7x | Spurs

20 | 7 hours ago

Jrue and Toumani are menaces on defense, and our defense wasn’t as solid without Area 51.

Its our speciality, give the fans just enough to think it might happen and then yank the carpet.

siphillis | Spurs

Really wish this Fox could play alongside Wemby and Castle. It feels correlated in some way

PoonGo0n | Spurs

15 | 7 hours ago

We’ll see this Fox in a few weeks, he’ll be ready.

gregatronn | Spurs

4 | 6 hours ago

It feels correlated in some way

Coaching staff have prioritized Wemby/Castle/Harper over Fox in terms of scoring so yeah his scoring and his ability to be aggressive is tampered down

If you look at when they need him (like their record without Wemby), he’s putting up a all around game.

Fox playing off ball a lot more than anytime in his career when he’s a rookie.

It happens. Castle’s turnovers went down when Fox came back from his injury so which wasn’t a coincidence either.

PressureMiserable | Spurs

2 | 5 hours ago

The biggest thing is that Castle looks like he did last year pretty much anytime he’s without wemby or Fox on the court. It’s crazy he just becomes sm better whenever Fox is with him, even if he’s just spacing the court. I think a lot of times that’s forgotten

gregatronn | Spurs

3 | 5 hours ago

Even Harper has an easier time when Fox is in with him. Defenses cant key in on the ball handler when Fox is just chilling next to them.

CheezeBaron | Warriors

Sat Clingan for too long and Deni’s ‘Hero Ball’ doesn’t work against good teams, TO’s galore.

Bench points 48 to 10… and that’s with two of their bench guys starting (Harper and Kornet combining for 23) with Castle and Wemby missing this one.

Guess the Spurs are good without Victor. But something something about Victor’s net rating.

PoonGo0n | Spurs

The Spurs are good without Vic. They’re an elite title contender with him.

They’re good without Wemby, and absolute world-beaters with him

Yes, they’re good without Victor. And they’re truly elite, at times unstoppable, with him.
