The Spurs are true to their word, they aren't skipping any steps on their way back to the top. My newest piece for @poundingtherock:

RT @spurs: Capital City DUBBBBB! 🙌 @FrostBank | #ad

Perspective: The Spurs are 22-28 after 50 games. In the last two seasons they were 22-60 at the conclusion of each year. De’Aaron Fox just got here and he looks like he fits exactly what San Antonio needs. Improvements have been made and more to come in the summer. On our way.

@ButlerinAustin @WechontxLt So because Wemby is an unbelievable 1 of 1 player he is immune to criticism when he goes through bad stretches? 1. He has been hurting his team at times lately. Bad shot selection, poor rebounding effort and late protecting the rim. 2. Rewatch the last two games. 3. Reread “1”

@ButlerinAustin @WechontxLt Who said he wasn't?

My recap on the Spurs twelfth loss in their last sixteen games and some words on both Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul:

@kanrike I watch every game lol If you think Wemby looks the same player he did the first 90% of the season then you don’t know what you’re watching. Let him get healthy and feel conditioned and then he can go kill it like he has been doing.

@WechontxLt Stop looking at the numbers, look at the film. Players aren’t afraid to drive on him recently because they can see he looks gassed and not physically able to play defense every possession. Vic is picking his spots at the moment because he knows he doesn’t have the energy.

@spursnsalsa I promise you Mitch ain’t telling Wemby to keep his hands down when Franz attacks the rim.

@SixZamier No one is saying that. But we’re also not winning with him at the moment because he is not 100%. We have won 4 of the last 16 games. Let him get back healthy and hopefully he can rediscover the form he played with the first 90% of the year.

@rubatomovement Yes, because holding players accountable for the bar they have set for themselves means I don’t know ball lol Everyone with a brain can see he is gassed, not 100% and it’s hurting the team at times during the game. Saying he should rest up until he back to feeling 100% is fair.

@KimSanity45 Sitting for a couple of games won’t affect that. He hasn’t missed many games so far.

@funkytoejam For sure. But he is still hurting the team too often. Rest up, feel 100% and then get back on the floor and continue to kill it like he has the first 90% of the season.

@spursnsalsa Mitch Johnson ain’t letting players constantly drive to the rim without contesting the shot.

A league worse Magic offense was able to score an easy 32 points in a quarter mainly due to the lack of size on the interior for the Spurs. San Antonio better hope Biyombo is the answer because they will continue to lose games when Wemby goes to the bench if not.

Looks as if the Spurs will trial some bigs on 10-day contracts before deciding to sign one for the rest of the season. First up: Bismack Biyombo 13-year veteran. A strong rebounder and rim protector. Had a good 30 game stint in 23-24 playing 24 minutes a night for Memphis.

😬 may have jumped the gun a little bit here. Still think overall taking into account context of how he ended up as the HC, Mitch has done a pretty good job. But now that Fox is here, there are certain expectations. To start with, he needs to have a tough conversation with CP.

@ranbyniko You should go reread that original tweet brother

Didn’t deserve to win. Prime example of why you have to take care of bad opponents early. Give them life and confidence and anything can happen. Castle with a career game but made the crucial mistake at the end. Have a chance to wipe this bad taste out of their mouth tomorrow.
