Jakobi won't get much minutes but there will be some game we need his shooting off the bench

Wemby bullying Harper.. He took his seat again and now Harper sitting on the floor.😂

seniority, next year Harper can also claim a seat from rookies and sophomores

Genuinely hilarious that the Rockets passed on Castle to get Reed Sheppard and we found him in the second round
2
u/qaswexort Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
I genuinely thought the Sheppard hype was a psyop. That's second round talent every other year going at 3.

Look, all I'm saying is 11 points in 8 minutes in the preseason is crazy potential.

I like that the our rooks so far are exhibiting chemistry with each other. I've seen time and again jakobi trying to set up some 2-man game with either reed or brown

u/carelesssportsfan89 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
jakobi is just a bucket I could see him becoming another patty mills for the spurs

u/Bubbly-Anteater2772 1d ago
Gillespie is just nice with it. 8 points in 6 minutes as a second round pick rook is all kinds of impressive.

Really like Jakobe's game as a 3rd string guard. He was known as a score first guy but I like that he's willing to run a 2 man game with Reed and Brown.

Harper with the rookie treatment from Wemby.. "That's my seat.".😂

DJG thankyou for the unforgetable summer league last year but i think your time is up.

u/efe282 BatManu 1d ago
DJG is so much worse than last year. He will be spending a lot of time in the bench until his confidence comes back.

u/Competitive_Soft6547 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
g-league season starts in early november at least. He needs to regain some confidence and make sure to play him in both games vs the hawks

Oof DJG. man, that injury has clipped his wings badly.

u/Brodhigreen Rudy Gay 1d ago
I swear he never used to be this much of a ball stopper - literally refuses to pass the rock
2
u/Malemansam Sean Elliot 1d ago
Yeah I think its like his decision making is affected because he's physically being forced to play slower which exposes him badly. he was jump passing last season and had that shifty dribble which he can't get off now.

DJG and McLaughlin have the worst main character syndrome - both are shit

Rooting for ben Simmons. If he can prove he has moments where he can have similar moments as his best year's where's hes confident, he'll be pretty valuable across the league

Wouldnt say so - yes we match-up well with OKC, but they're still a very talented team and as much as i hate SGA he is literally unstoppable

Hahahah true true. Although he's been out with injury all pre season. Might not be there on opening night either.
OKC paint looks a lot more open so far to me since he's been out.

When trades goes well on both sides its cool to see. Reed jr a beast. Brazille looks pretty solid with Denver too

u/Far-Traffic-5422 Dylan Harper 1d ago
Guys, I have unreasonably high expectations for Reed. Hope he gets some minutes coming the regular season.

Wemby is 1-12 from 3 in the preseason. It’s gonna be rough watching him jack up dumb ass shots this year. Hopefully I’m wrong

I have wanted Dak traded since before the ankle injury...trash QB but isn't paid like it (before any 'Boys fans get mad grew up a Cowboys fan but when he couldn't hit the side of a barn at the Pro games in like his year 3 begged to get him off the team....but Jerrahh wants 'butts in the seats' instead of banner raises I guess)

Take Steph out. He’s pissed off in a non constructive way. 😭
The Spurs are up by 35. The refs aren’t going to blow the whistle. They probably aren’t even watching

u/siphillis Gregg Pop-a-bitch 1d ago
If Harper's corner three is the real deal, good luck to the rest of the league

u/sherlock-spreadsheet 1d ago
Really? Mitch? Now you call a timeout? We're up by 35.
Any viewers from last year, that find that ironic?
2
u/Competitive_Soft6547 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
No, that's a sign of a coach making adjustments as he becomes more experienced
1
u/sherlock-spreadsheet 1d ago
It's a preseason blowout. I hope your correct, and we see it when it's needed and when it matters

u/Objective-Product361 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
I’m gonna say this again for the nth time. I love stephon castle. But harper is our 2nd best player. What a luxury to have steph as the 3rd best player. DAMN!
Edit: ALSO FOX HAS BEEN🔥. This is the best offensive Fox I’ve seen since he came into the spurs. We’ll see more about it come the 20th but damn he’s so sharp offensively.

u/TheSatanist666 Manu Ginobili 1d ago
Out of the three guards, I always knew Harper will be the best three point shooter.
5
u/yae4jma Jeremy Sochan 1d ago
I now remember that thing about Harper from last year: for whatever reason he is way better in the second half.
2
u/ajkelly451 Dylan Harper 1d ago
Which we sorely need as everyone else seems to take the 3rd Q off lol
6
u/hairhelmoot 1d ago
Well if harper can shoot like that then maybe 3 gaurd lineup isnt so scary
4
u/BananaRepublic_BR GO SPURS GO 1d ago
If two of them can shoot reliably, then the lineup can work. When they're all shooting 25% is when it gets into scary hours.
3
u/hairhelmoot 1d ago
I do still like the idea of a stable rotation of elite gaurdplay rather than all at once
2
u/ajkelly451 Dylan Harper 1d ago
I agree but they have always had at least 1 of Castle, Harper or Fox on the court at all times, so it is working, but we’ll see if it works against actually good teams.

u/Bonesawisready5 1d ago
OKEY IM A BELIEVER IN THE THREE GUARDS if 1 or 2 aren’t feeling it there will be 1 that is

Hahaha. Harper! 14 pts in 2nd half (all of Spurs pts)
EDIT: In the first 6-min, btw

u/Competitive_Soft6547 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
dylan harper spamming those corner 3s like 2015 curry

u/LAMonkeyWithAShotgun Carter Bryant 1d ago
Harper is legit just a great shooting guard atm. And hes kinda big enough to be a wing.

He’s getting hit. He’s not trying to get hit. He’s getting hit. He’s a big guard so more contact is allowed. And it’s a blowout in his team’s favor. The bigger issue is that he gets pissed off when the call isn’t made.
He doesn’t look comfortable with the changes in his jump shot form yet. I think eventually he will be, but that’s why I wanted him to be taking them throughout preseason.
2
u/Less_Draft_8325 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
Naah don’t do that. He might be looking for a call but he still tries to get the ball in the rim too

I'm under this camp as well they both offer the same offensively lacking but Reed seems more athletic and a much better rebounder and potential screen setter.

That KJ pregame pep talk shouting and energy (okc post season), that's one reason why we need to keep that man. I hope things work out

I think benching Julian and starting Harper made both of them worse

u/Less_Draft_8325 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
Juju is fine. Harper though is a bit rough rn (past 2 games really)

u/W3MBYY_F4N 1d ago
He needs the ball to get in rhythm. He was better being our 6th man
2
u/Less_Draft_8325 Victor Wembanyama 1d ago
Maybe that’s the issue. He’s skilled so I’m sure he’ll adjust well

The NBA is airing it for free on their website so long as you have an NBA ID and are logged in.

huh interesting I see all the other games that are free with an nba id but ours is the only one that requires Kings+. maybe because of my location. thanks anyways!
