Could be worse. Pistons are up 27 on the 76ers in the 3rd quarter.

Should have traded his ass instead of that Minnesota pick. Although I doubt Sacramento would have wanted him.

We are being outrebounded 33-18. That's pathetic.
Product of our forwards being a SF that is too old to play SF at PF and a SG at SF.

Wemby 5-18, 1-9 from 3. Looks exhausted.

Victor has to still be sick. He was struggling in Atlanta too and just looked out of it on the bench.

Devin spent the last two months sucking to lull the Hornets into a false sense of security just to pull this dunk out of nowhere.

Love Chris but he holds us back so much now that we have fox.

Stephon with the amazing AND 1 on the break for his first 30p game.

I literally love that man.

Devin +14. Castle +5. All other Spurs are negative.

Should not have taken Sochan out there. WTF. Putting Paul back in? Of course they are going to go at him.

Fox has ice in his veins. Castle looked dominant in this game.

We are missing a couple of pieces, but this team has talent.

How do you have Paul in as your defensive 5?

Wemby, Sochan, Julian, Castle, Fox should be it, right?

Not sure why we have Paul in there for the last defensive possession. Can someone explain that?

Did he really get that off? I thought I heard the buzzer go off. What a shot!

Damn. Castle messed up on that last defensive play. Hell of a game by him though.

Well, poop. Up 2 you can't leave the 3 point shooters alone, which both Fox and Castle did. Come all the way back to lose like that.

I haven't said this very much with this team, but that's a bad loss.

Nice comeback, and if the game was a tenth of a second longer, the Spurs win.

But if you want to be taken seriously as a play-in contender, you've got to TCB against the absolute dregs of the league. Spurs gagged one tonight.

I was following the Gamecast and had Apple Sports giving updates. Both had the Spurs winning. I'm guessing the final shot was waved off?

Yep.

Even though it was a partial second late, Fox came through in the clutch there twice.

Gotta like that.

Also, we made our big comeback with Wemby on the bench. Team is going to be good. This is the type of loss you can build on as a team especially Fox, Castle, and Vassell all cooking when needed.


Biggest need is a D&3 PF that can rebound. I like Rasheer Fleming in the draft for that. I like Barnes, but he should be coming off the bench. Or Jeremy, spend your entire ****ing summer in the corner of the court.

Maybe theoretical Keegan Murray (from rookie year when he hit 41%). Theoretical Jarace Walker? Basically what PJ Washington is giving Dallas right now. Maybe this off-season we can offer Harrison Barnes and a 2nd for PJ Washington.

That, a backup center and just another guy that can create rim pressure and we are cooking for real.

We had no business being in that game with the way we shot the three and rebounded. Again, love Paul at the offensive end but not for a game on the line defensive possession.

That was my favorite part of this game, how he spun but didn't drop the heel.

I was sad that I was watching the Hornets feed because that's Sean Elliott's move! I would have loved to hear his call on that.

Listening to the Hornets' feed they pointed out something kind of funny that I hadn't thought about. When Wemby went to the floor with that rebound and Salaun got the jump ball with it, they remarked it was funny that many teams will waste a timeout on that rather than chance the jump ball. But the Spurs can just get the new clock, jump ball and not fight for it or stress about passing out because Wemby wins them 100% of the time, especially when it is just a random player.

Starting Fox and Paul together is effing dumb. Mitch needs to tell Pop to stuff it and man up on the starting five. Get Castle in there and pick either Fox or Paul to be PG next to him.

Paul's a pro. Quit worrying about him being upset about getting benched. He seems like he wants to win. If he does he'd take the demotion in stride.

Otherwise bring Manu in to have a heart to heart with Fox about being the nuclear sub for this squad (or a microwave) for the rest of the season.

But damnit get the rook in the starting five.

Unless they are soft tanking and all the players are cool with it (Paul ain't unless they promised him the coaching gig next year).

That is a cool fact. I remember Ball trying to switch sides. Ball came across as a dirty player in this game. He plays hard, but a lot of pushes and then whining to the refs.
