Clearly he was the worst of the three but I thought Fox played really well the last 6 minutes to close that game out. Real struggle for him but he hit some big shots when they needed him and his defense was solid.

Obviously Castle and Harper were unbelievable though

For sure. A lot of Spurs fans have trashed him this year for his inconsistencies, but nobody can deny the dude closes out games.

Is this really true? Between the 2 Denver losses and game 2 it seems like Fox hasn’t been able to perform when the team actually needs him to. Harper was the one who closed out this game because Fox was really bad all nightnuntil the Spurs were already up big

Yeah I’m gonna take the 20ish game sample size of him doing it in the regular season over a couple stinkers. Last game we also didn’t help him by giving it to Barnes and Castle the possessions after he had just scored a couple times

lol ofc he starts hitting shots when we’re up 10 with 4 minutes left. thank god for Dylan Harper

10 with 4 minutes left is a very losable game script in the modern NBA. The Blazers went on a quick 6-0 sprint and Fox closed the door on them.

Lopsided_Share_185 | Spurs

Agreed. It’s just that I expect him to do that when we’re down 15 instead of up 10

Nah, Fox was contained as the key threat so the team adjusted by going to Harper. And turns out angry Harper is a heck of a player.

If he missed those shots and Portland went down the other way and hit a shot the entire momentum could have shifted especially in their home court. Up 10 with 4 minutes is a lot of time

Lopsided_Share_185 | Spurs

Other players could have taken and made those shots. He was taking pull up middies and floaters. We had multiple guys on the floor who could do that. And the Blazers were killing us in the paint down the stretch anyway. They were scoring and making shots after his buckets. If anything, the opportunities for offensive rebounds and potential 3s could have helped our offense. Even if a different guy took those 3 shots and only made 2 of them we would’ve won by 10 instead of 12. He wasn’t exactly putting the team on his back in a do-or-die situation. He hit a few pull-ups in a row while we were up double digits.

Portland is making sure to keep their best POA defenders on him at all times, in camara (since wemby is out otherwise he’d be on him) and Jrue.

Like they’re selling hard to stop his paint touches at all costs, without wemby its took a game to really get consecutive buckets to go from the whole team.

Spare-Friendship-917 | Spurs

That’s the smart game plan. Like we know fox can go off and it’s smarter to try and make the young inexperienced guys beat you instead of the guy in the middle of his prime who’s had a little experience.

Malemansam | Spurs

100%, its the right thing for portland to do.

MikeyBastard1 | Spurs

Explain then, why was Jrue, the blazers best defender, guarding Fox all game? Since he’s so obviously the weak link.

And Camara too. Clearly Portland prefers being killed by the slash brothers.

They made a point to barely play all three together in the regular season, right? I member looking at lineup numbers right before the end of the RS and they had a lot fewer minutes than I would have expected for 3 of the top 7 guys. Was surprised to see that change so quick, even with Wemby out.

Not even just Spurs fans. Judging from this subreddit you’d think Fox was the worst starting guard in the league

But ya, Fox gets trashed CONSTANTLY on our sub man

Fox’s contract mentioned in the Spurs sub is like waving a red cape in front of a bunch of mindless bulls lmao.

I mean the contract isn’t looking pretty. But we can afford it and it’s not preventing us from paying anyone else, until maybe Harpers extension comes up. So yeah, everybody needs to chill a bit

dreamweaver7x | Spurs

It’s fine. Just a legacy thing from when our starting PG was CP3.

We didn’t know Castle would be this good, and we sure as hell didn’t know that we’d be able to draft Harper.

Fox’s contract will be expiring by the time Harper’s rookie extension comes due. Timing works. We can keep the 3-headed hydra for two more seasons.

Fox was a +8 tonight although it isn’t the best metric. Don’t love the contract though but he’ll be gone in 2 years.

Fox was ass like usual but Castle & Harper are special. Also shoutout Carter Bryant. Smothering defense on Deni.

Doctor-Bagels | Spurs

He had a pretty solid game, idk why people feel the need to attack him when he held the fort down in crucial moments again, as he generally does. Yes he was outperformed by our young stars, but he was very important in this win – there was a very long stretch in the first half where he was our only starter with a positive +/-

BananaRepublic_BR | Spurs

Not_tim_duncan | Spurs

Single game plus minus is just noise.,people probably down on him because he’s been paid like a top 5 player and isn’t close to that level. He has been poor throughout 3 games now.

Doctor-Bagels | Spurs

12 | 6 hours ago

The contract is an overpay. We also won 62 games this year with him playing great, especially earlier in the year. By the time his contract would hurt us, we can move on pretty easy. Remember, we gave up virtually nothing to trade for him in the first place lol

Not_tim_duncan | Spurs

You can’t move a contract that size without giving up assets.

This dude in 2023 was going toe to toe with Shai, Luka and Curry and now a solid game for him is having a positive plus minus and making his free throws in the 4th quarter what happened to him man

Like after the trade I genuinely thought the Spurs were putting together new age Kobe and Shaq lol

unknwnerrr | Spurs

The thing is, he bought into Spurs basketball’s mindset, so he now doesn’t feel pressured to score all the time. Spurs fans love him. I don’t. I don’t care if he’s getting guarded by the best? SGA gets it done every game so not sure why Fox can’t.

Meraxes9 | Spurs

Held the fort the fuck. When we were down he did nothing but fouls and turn shit over and gave the ball to the rest of the team. Only became aggressive when all was done. But castla and Harper held shit together with luke and defense by CB. I don’t know what game you were watching

Fox was okay, and honestly pretty good in the fourth. Any chance of the Blazers mounting a comeback like in Game 2 was silenced by some timely buckets by De’Aaron.

That said, yes, he should be producing at a similar clip as Stephon and Dylan
