If you’re GONNA buck the tank, at least you did it with a 40 and 20 night from the rook.

The Takeover
Wemby is a problem
Hopefully Sochan is okay. His defense was sorely missed last night.

8 games remaining.
Currently 18-56 record.
Last season they went 22-60.
I think Wemby has exceeded all expectations as a rookie. The Spurs need to ask themselves, and perhaps answer to the fans why the Spurs have a worse record with nearly the same roster but added an elite talent like Victor.
If everything was the same and you added Wemby, that should have moved the needle somewhat noticeably. It has not.
Why?
Offensive and defensive rating last season: 110.2 (29th) and 120.0 (30th)
Offensive and defensive rating this season: 110.3 (26th) and 117.2 (22nd)

The Takeover
Injuries, youth, bad lineups, defense, poor shooting, inconsistency
The Spurs have had so many blown leads and close losses this year too
Injuries?
Who was hurt that would have made a difference?

The Takeover
No major injuries but that early season injury to Devin after the 3-2 start to the year I think stunted momentum.
But to me the biggest issues are defense and shooting and late game execution
They've had 7 one possession losses and 13 losses by less than 5 points. If they could've won at least half of those, they are at 24 wins with a chance to hit 30
We were bad this year, but it'll be better next year
That's a fair point.
If you have a lot of close losses, variance could tip those games into wins.

The Takeover
Sorry.
I hope I'm proven wrong and that I have mistaken understanding of this season and the roster.
