JOEL EMBIID AND TOLU SMITH FIGHT. 👀🍿

Minnesota voter sharing her thoughts on the election outside of a polling location Demographics are destiny

After six games of hard hoops, yesterday was probably the first time this season where I looked at San Antonio and thought: yeah… this looks familiar. A glimpse of last season’s Spurs. And ironically, Wemby had one of his quieter scoring nights. 12 points on 5/15. But he still gave you 11 boards, 5 assists and 3 blocks. That’s what made this game interesting. San Antonio didn’t need Wemby to drop 35 for the offense to breathe. Devin Vassell deserves love here. Only 11 points, but he finished +26. He kept working off the ball, attacked when the closeout came and didn’t need touches forced his way to impact the game. Then Swipa Man, my mouth is getting full talking about Fox lately 😂 12 points on 5/8 in only 22 minutes. Again, efficient. Again, not hijacking possessions. He’s starting to understand exactly when this team needs him to push, when to attack the gap and when to simply move it and let the next action develop. That balance is coming. Castle also bounced back after a quieter game against Minnesota. 16 points, 5 boards, 4 assists and ZERO turnovers. That’s the Castle I want pressure the paint, make the defense collapse and keep the possession alive instead of trying to force every window. Are we finished? Nah. Because DHarp 17 points. 7 rebounds. 8 assists. 2 steals. This kid keeps looking more comfortable reading NBA defenses. He’s not just getting downhill anymore. He’s starting to understand what the help is telling him — when the low man steps up, when the corner opens, when to keep the dribble alive and when to move it early. That’s growth. And maybe that was the biggest takeaway from the whole game. Seven Spurs scored in double figures. Wemby didn’t have to carry the scoring load. Fox didn’t have to dominate the ball. Castle didn’t have to be Superman. Harper didn’t have to force the issue. Vassell didn’t need 20 shots. Everybody just played their part. That’s the version of San Antonio I’ve been waiting to see. Less “your turn, my turn.” More paint touches. More extra passes. More guys attacking a tilted defense. For the first time this season, it felt like the Spurs were playing through each other again. And that might be more important than any individual stat line.
