Happy victory Friday! I think it’s this week - its been awhile, so I think we’re due for our bi-weekly victory.
Our chances improved since Pop feels this is the perfect game to rest Wemby. Always an honor when a high lottery team feels they can rest against you.
Getting a glimpse in person of one of the generational talents is one of the few things the home crowd had to look forward to, I guess that had to be taken away. But hey, we can still play the “How many 3s do we give up this game” game. I’m going with 18.
I was surprised at how strong the crowd was, I actually went in person tonight. Even though we didn’t really get into it until the last 30 seconds lol.
LaMelo Ball appears to reach back to his hip/glute/hamstring after making a layup, he’s still in the game but was moving a little slower for the two following possessions.
Plow on X
Eastley
Man miles defensively is so, so bad
spectre
Melo great end to the quarter
powellrmp
He’s horrible
I don’t know how it’s possible for someone to be that unaware
spectre
… and probably get like 25 per next year. What a game!
powellrmp
hes so late in rotations, he barely knows what’s going on until the ball is practically in the rim
Eastley
Do they call it a rotation when you don't move?
spectre
Eric Collins is hilarious
Thor is like a very very poor mans MKG
GoBobcats24
Lamelo is hurting, looks like left ankle but he's staying in
Its legal to trip him though in the open court evidently
powellrmp
Nic Richards playing?
Eastley
Wemby's face on that made 3 was priceless
spectre
No Richards
24 had a great 1st half 15 on 5/7 with 7 boards
Eastley
The Dutch camera angles on this dude is really anxiety fuel
spectre
3 bench points lol
meloFan
Can't expect much, when even the broadcast team is on the injury list
First EC, now Ash out
Eastley
If it's flu, that strain in charlotte is virulent as hell
meloFan
"stomach bug" could be flu
Eastley
Brandon, don't hurt 'em!
meloFan
Lamelo skipping a lot
We have Ish yet to play, maybe Lamelo should sit out
tnhornetsfan
Have we hit a buzzer beater at every quarter
spectre
Damn I love me some Lamelo Ball!
i think so!
Lamelo is 8/10
Mich_Mercer
We actually look like an NBA tonight.
Eastley
It's sad it takes playing a team of this quality to do so.
And despite no Wemby, we still can't put them away

meloFan
Shambles
Eastley
Ball looks really gimpy to me
GoBobcats24
Lamelo definitely playing hurtish
spectre
We don’t respond well to aggressive play
meloFan
I know we want to win once in a while, but is it worth pushing Lamelo back to injury?
spectre
Nope. We probably should be thinking lottery position
Eastley
Good Lord Cliff challenge that immediately
2
meloFan
Cody the Airbender?
Committing the foul by airbending?
GoBobcats24
They will not overturn this
Eastley
Still a good challenge
meloFan
If we lose this game, both Mitch and Cliff should resign tonite
Eastley
Should worry all of us that we can't put these guys away, at home, after they crushed us by 36, and they aren't playing their all globe star

spectre
Until melo subbed back in only 2 maybe 3 guys were touching it on offense
meloFan
We should trade Bridges to Pistons or something if we can, for picks

spectre
Sign and trade
meloFan
Yessir. He is just ruining team chemistry this season with his selfish plays
Btw, this Lamelo kid is pretty good

spectre
Lamelo!!!
Man the entertainment value for team goes up 100 % once Melo got back

I don’t care that this is the Spurs without Wemby. Any win is a big win for us right now. I hope we can pull this out!

meloFan
Bad Win, but a win nevertheless
Mich_Mercer
I don’t even care. We usually lose this game. I’m so happy to win a game………. (If we win) haha
spectre
That’s our stud rookie right there

Mich_Mercer
I loved "It's Miller Time!" tonight. Put him on your top rookies list ESPN
meloFan
I just hope this Org can get their shit in order, so we can see Melo, Miller, Mark trio next year. It will be fun

Mich_Mercer
Until they all get hurt and then we’ll say “next year” again,
I was waiting for us to foul them on a 3. lol Good win!

I won't watch us lose by 40 tomorrow. No centers VS MVP Embiid, no chance
Me I want to see Miller back the game up he had tonight. I hope he is taking things to the next level.
Screw ESPN Millers game tonight makes you guys look stupid.
Lamelo Ball guys. LAMELO BALLLLL. He is the key to us winning. We HAVE to build a team around him. The guy is a superstar in this league and the best player to ever play for this franchise AND the previous franchise.
Imagine where this team would be if we hadn’t have jumoed from 9 to 3 in 2020
2 wins out of the 3 games I’ve gone to this year. I guess it’s my fault we don’t have a winning record, I should go to more.
Was a nice crowd, probably all the suckers (including me) who bought tickets hoping to see a very tall, slender fellow in black and white play a game.
But seeing a win, no matter the circumstances (except when you’re trying to tank for Chris Paul instead of Felton and May) is always welcome.
I like how the Spurs played aggressive defense. Always had someone on the ball even in the back court. Not that it always leads to turnovers, it just sets a more aggressive tone.
It was kinda weird watching our team play like they had more talent (for once), but that they knew they had more talent and could turn it up when needed. Like, they could’ve put the Spurs away on several occasions, but let up on d to let them right back in it. Ending the third up 12 with momentum, to allow them to cut it to 1 within 3 minutes is that lack of attention, lack of aggression that is the defining characteristic of this team.
Granted, we were short handed on the inside, and they did play hard, I guess I’m trying to define that line of the difference of players and teams really going after it, rather than just doing enough just to stay ahead. That could’ve bit us in the ass tonight, and would easily set us up on pace to lose 29 out of 30 games with our schedule ahead.
