really rough loss....Wemby just was too much down the stretch.

Refs too much the whole game.

[Neurotic Guy]

Choked another one away down the stretch. These are the spots where you really see how much we miss Tatum.

Back soon though.  Not much from Simons or Pritchard.

Rough.  Wemby's presence is just incredible.  The dynamic of the game is so different on both ends.

Yeah, Wemby is a complete game changer. C?s were avoiding the paint like the plague when he was in the game. Have no choice I suppose.

We also have zero ideal defenders for him - not that there really is such a thing. But our best guys to guard him are all bigger wings, and just like the last play he can shoot right over them without much impact at all.

We missed Sam?s presence as well. We were limited to really just play outside with Wemby inside. PP and Simons were shooting blanks.

Rough loss but an acceptable one in many ways IMO.  2nd night of a BTB and the Spurs are a really good team.  Very competitive game with a playoff-like edge.  I don't like to blame the refs entirely for any loss, but that free throw discrepancy is very bothersome.  We'd probably end up with the W if the whistle was consistent.

This. I watched a Spurs/Mavs game earlier in the season. Wemby absolutely destroyed AD. Finished with 40pts/15rebs. He?s like a Wilt level talent. There is no answer.

Still super proud of this team?hard fought good loss.

[blink]

We, just like everyone else in the NBA, don't have a Wemby stopper...Yes the refs missed a lot of fouls and we shouldn't be shooting 4 fts the whole game.

Jaylen "MVP" Brown, dribbling the game away yet again.

MVP take right there.

16 turnovers in the last 3 games for Jaylen. Will he ever learn ? Will Joe ever coach him to improve his decision-making with the ball ?

[tenn_smoothie]

Another Joe note.

Please quit playing Brown and White into the ground ? Too many minutes, just like he was doing with Tatum.
A playoff game is one thing, a regular season game another and regular season game during a non-title year is pure stupidity.

Probably a 2 win team without him this year btw, and likely lose this game by 30. Carry on though

got to be the worst take on this game.

JB needs his teammates to show up if they're going to beat other top teams.  White had over 20 points but didn't play great.  PP and Simons offered no offensive support. 

didn't help that JB got no calls despite constantly driving to the hoop and getting hit repeatedly
