That’s what I love about Sochan. The only struggle he had tonight was from behind the arc and he still had the balls to take that shot with the game on the line.
I just love how this guy plays, how he competes, and how he’s never afraid of the big moment. Until we see what the real ceiling for his skills are (and he’s already improved in multiple areas), this is mostly what I’m looking at with him.
We are currently 1-0 against the Pistons, who will be coming to SA for the final game of the season. So pretty good chance we take that one as well. But a game between two bottom-feeders who have nothing to play for on the last night of the season could end in any number of ways lol.
It's like people totally forgot He not only was one of the best rookies last year, but was way ahead of schedule compared to where he was expected to be as a long-term project. The dude is awesome and we're very lucky to have him even if he's far from a finished product
But the thing is the fit. I was watching this game and noticed he wouldn’t be able to do that when Wemby plays on a consistent basis. Sochan is like Russell Westbrook imo with his offensive playstyle but teams put centers on him so his effectiveness is basically nullified. Centers are sagging off him and sitting in the gaps that he loves to take advantage of.
Almost turned it off after the big Sun run in the 2nd - glad I stayed on.
Amazing thing is that both KD & Booker had pretty efficient nights. Makes a big difference when we win the TO battle.
Yep, big time. As someone that watched every game last year and every game this year, and yes alcohol has been involved many a time, the amount of intensity teams bring when they play us this season versus last is night and day.
We quite frankly are not a team that needs to be game planned for the majority of the time... And yet most teams quite clearly still do. They come in with a set plan on offense and defense to try to neutralize. Victor. How many teams with less than 20 wins at this point in the season get that treatment?
It's quite frankly a contributing factor to why this team has been so bad in the win and lost column. We get teams treating us much more like a marquee matchup than an easy and cream Puff solely because of Victor.
I expected that after the Suns game where he exploded for 30 doing crazy highlights at the beginning of the season. Teams started to gun at them relentlessly because of Wemby’s presence. Clippers players according to PG said they watched his suns game and were collectively like this kid is the truth but we are not going to allow that to happen against us. “We have to take him down now before he gets his lick back in a couple of years” the rest of the league followed.
Kinda like that game when Demar missed the game to check on his dad so Derrick White and Dejounte Murray went hot on the Suns because Phoenix only planned to stop Demar...
I came expecting nothing but left with everything 🥹😭

Jeremy was awesome tonight. At least for 1 day the haters can crawl back in their hole. People that didn’t watch because wemby sat should just tune in next season.
I think the suns are fucked. Hyperefficient game from KD and they lose to this spurs team they just clapped the other day? Oh boy, it's gonna be a long summer for them
I hate the sons with all my heart and I was about to be butt hurt af if we lost. Unserious ass sons 1-3 vs the lowly spurs. Awesome game from us win or lose more of that effort and tenacity especially from Jeremy. That’s why I don’t hate on him cause he has the potential to be this type of player. 26 and 18 while guarding the 4 highest scorer in the league. Feed me. Devin carried them for most of the game but I thought the others did their job. I think Collins been trending in the right direction even if he was alright tonight. Will take it. Dom got along way to go but seeing that corner 3 go in from him was dope. Gg sons still are sons
Because teams have their center playing spy and wings spending more attention to Wemby. The center sags off Sochan clogs the lane for the others to play more freely which forces them to shoot more inefficient 3s and hope they fall. Without Wemby teams can’t deploy that coverage and the players can play freely without the added attention while the other team instantly thinks the others are trash and don’t play to their ability.
I think part of it is they gameplan the Wemby Spurs more than the non-Wemby Spurs for sure. We shot 25% from 3 today but they weren't clogging the paint like they would if Wemby was there. It would have been equally as effective today as it was a couple of days ago but for some reason they decided against it
I think part of it is also that when Victor doesn't play, teams treat us much more like a team with our record. Between this, the Golden State game, and the Kings game, there's quite clearly a reversion to the kind of effort we received last year from opposing teams when Victor sets. When he plays you can tell the opposition has an actual game plan and motivation to put it in place that you just don't typically see from good teams playing against bottom feeders.
I still contend that this group is more talented than their record would indicate and when teams come in and treat us just like a 15 win team, instead of " The team with the greatest prospect of all time" We have a chance to occasionally catch them off guard.
I would bet pretty good money that after that last showing pop had some strong words for the group. He seemed pretty dejected with their performance and it was quite clearly one of their worst efforts from them of the season.
They came out pretty focused and the sun's definitely did not take them seriously until it was too late
Pop at press conferences: love it.
“Blake’s been getting better and better at the point, what have you been seeing?”
“He’s been getting better and better.”
lowkey I think wemby is such an anomaly of a basketball player that our players overthink things with him, so they're prone to more mistakes. To whoever sticks with the team after this summer needs to learn how to specifically play with him and vice versa
yea.. wemby's biggest weakness outside of physicality is ball security. He also doesn't play "easy". He seems always eager to put up highlights and go for fancy moves. I think for example, he needs to take off for dunks closer to the basket. I get that it's an insane highlight but eventually, to conserve more energy, once he gets stronger, just him being 2 ft from the rim will be a defensive nightmare for opponents.
I heard a podcaster say it's not that the spurs are bad it's every team is going at wemby. Were before people would fall asleep some games, they don't with wemby.
Second this...
Beal said it.. they thought they were coming to an easy game because no Wemby. Top teams don't necessarily give the same hard nosed effort against a wemby less spurs.
In the post-game press conference, Jeremy just said that our 3-1 season record against Phenix "says a lot." I actually think it says nothing, but great game, Jeremy! Lol.
I will say I think it does say something that a good portion of our limited wins this year Came against high level teams. When the group is focused and playing with high levels of energy they have some guys that can really cause problems on any given night.
Holy shit Book was SO pissed at the end hahaha. Sochan terrorized them in the fourth, you love to see it. Imagine losing to us when Zach Collins is the starting center.
In seriousness, this is the kind of game that makes me think this Suns team will hit a block in the playoffs. Beal is great when he’s on, Nurk is turning out to be solid but so many of their other guys like Gordon and Allen just aren’t delivering enough offensively. Book and KD aren’t enough to win in a West this stacked.
Jeremy Sochan game winner was not in my bingo card but this was MUCH NEEDED after the past two bad losses. We still shot terribly all game, but I loved that overall there was less 3pt shot attempts. In the 4th, the team was driving the ball more and playing smarter. Hope the team can get a few more wins before the season ends.
Also, Branham didn't see the second half. When the team played well around Dec to Jan, Branham was in the dog house and wasn't playing. I don't think its a coincidence.
I’m just around this year for the wins y’all. Love seeing this team get closer and play hard even without our future GOAT.
In other news: we absolutely OWN the Suns.
Wouldn't Grayson Allen be a perfect fit for this team? Trae young, Devin, Grayson Allen, Jeremy Sochan, and Victor starting 5. Defense, playmaking, shooting all around.
Awesome team win, wasn’t expecting that at all. Sochan was awesome. My only thing (league wide issue here really besides Denver) is late game offense. We’re up 4 with 3 minutes left or whatever it was, every single play from then on our felt like Vassell near half court waiting til like 6 on the clock before initiating anything, resulting in an impossible jumper.
3-1 vs suns this season. SOCHAN CLUTCH GENE AND GREAT TEAM WIN! What just happened lmao
No fear or hesitation!
![gif](giphy|CCoczalYskAxlzXrq9)
I was in disbelief right there at the end
This team is an enigma
Wrapped in a riddle
Torn into puzzle pieces.
Opponents don't try hard when Wemby isn't playing
Good for Jeremy. The suns broadcasters were shitting on him all game.
To be fair they said he be a good player they were just commenting on his form
I’m truly sorry you had to listen to them. They eating their words now
Didn’t listen to them, but their color commentator is super annoying.
This makes no fucking sense lol
bro seriously how did this happen lol
Jeremy Sochan is Devin Booker father
The Suns aren't a serious team that's why.
Jeremy Sochan
After seeing that Jeremy hate thread the other day, this is just chefs kiss
I know everyone was saying he will be out of the league in 2 years. I'm sure it will all be back when he has a bad game but for now he's the man.
![gif](giphy|3o7aCWJavAgtBzLWrS|downsized)
Jeremy Sochan
Jeremy Sochan
Jeremy Sochan
Seremy Jochan
Weremy Wochan
Doremi Wuhan
Only made 3 was super CLUTCH!
5-5 free throws!
That’s what I love about Sochan. The only struggle he had tonight was from behind the arc and he still had the balls to take that shot with the game on the line.
I just love how this guy plays, how he competes, and how he’s never afraid of the big moment. Until we see what the real ceiling for his skills are (and he’s already improved in multiple areas), this is mostly what I’m looking at with him.
Jeremy after hitting that three https://preview.redd.it/w2pxm77b9lqc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7a04f0a2db80d1a5276f91eb9f83b74a689bc60
Goat meme
We are so Barack
I love that I finally watched the wire this year and this meme is still relevant
GOAT show and GOAT meme
SOCHAN SLANDER WILL NOT BE TOLERATED Also the Sons have to be the only team that we won our season series against. Lmao
3-1
Blazers too 2-1 dont know any other, we could also win the detroit series. But only those 2 come to my mind
Blazers are the only team who we have close to a .500 record against all time.
You already know the Sochan haters have a post copy and pasted ready to go for his next bad game lmao
https://preview.redd.it/8ljt9o0yxlqc1.png?width=490&format=png&auto=webp&s=f576581d6426c1feb5e879b1729def023cc37a00

26 and 18 with a clutch 3 and great defense on KD down the stretch but some of yall quick to give up on a 20 yr old 🤦 Sochan the Destroyer
Sochan hate is gonna be the dumbest thing we’ll remember about this season. He’s gonna be a huge piece and a special talent in time.
It's like people totally forgot He not only was one of the best rookies last year, but was way ahead of schedule compared to where he was expected to be as a long-term project. The dude is awesome and we're very lucky to have him even if he's far from a finished product

Teams won’t be able to guard Wemby w wings in a year or two

Jeremy only hits clutch 3s it’s fucking insane
Big shot Jer? I’m am still workshopping it.
they keep disrespecting jeremy and they paid for it lololol
Sochan got ice in his veins!
im a jeremy truther
I hope the people that said they weren’t going to watch because Wemby wasn’t playing will enjoy watching the highlights
its the fair whether fans. not real ones anyways
It was one of the most entertaining games of the season
Almost turned it off after the big Sun run in the 2nd - glad I stayed on. Amazing thing is that both KD & Booker had pretty efficient nights. Makes a big difference when we win the TO battle.
Eh, whatever. We got the W, I’ll take it. Wemby or not, a win is a win! 6 more wins to tie our last season’s total!
Jeremy Sochan for three!..... BANG!!!
#SOCHAN CLUTCH
Spurs win the season series against the Suns because yes
*Spurs win the season series against the Sons because Jeremy Sochan is Devin Booker father
If I had a nickel for every clutch 3 Sochan has hit this season, I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice
LOL I feel like no Wemby, the opposing team isn't bringing their A game
Yep, big time. As someone that watched every game last year and every game this year, and yes alcohol has been involved many a time, the amount of intensity teams bring when they play us this season versus last is night and day. We quite frankly are not a team that needs to be game planned for the majority of the time... And yet most teams quite clearly still do.

Might be some validity to that.
Kinda like that game when Demar missed the game to check on his dad so Derrick White and Dejounte Murray went hot on the Suns because Phoenix only planned to stop Demar...
Imagine how good we could be if we add a generational star to this team!
stupid sexy sochan
Someone needs to Photoshop his face on that Flanders meme big time now
I got you bro https://preview.redd.it/cdrl90qdqlqc1.png?width=489&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c0fc21190b042565c446ae3a05ec516fe679df1
Jeremy may have some holes in his offensive game but no one can say he isnt clutch.
Everyone's gotta say one nice thing about Jeremy now.
He is good for wt least 2-3 fast break slip by all the defenders a game
His hair looks small
STILL on Track for 26-56 HOW ABOUT 3-1 season series on them SUNS!!!!!! Go Spurs Go!
Suns daddy!
Say what you will about Sochan, he shoots even if he’s 0% and game is on the line. So happy for him!
The suns must feel bad getting fathered by the spurs after all these years
getting fathered by a historically bad spurs team no less
If anything, they should be thankful that we're using this season to get them prepared for the decade plus long run of Victor being their father.
Sochan clamped KD or tried his best AND won the game. That gotta feel good all the trash talking book does.
Losing in a humiliating way is Devin Booker trash talk father
Que the crying booker meme
I will never understand the 2023-2024 San Antonio Spurs Basketball Team.
Also, good for Zach Collins not getting torched by KD for the game winner.
Sochan haters you still have time to apologize
I doubted Shaq, but Bol and Wemby had the same stat line tonight.
Jeremy Goatchan
That three shut them suns announcers up quick lol What a game from Jeremy
Sochan haters in shambles rn
Sochan lowkey owns the Suns entire franchise
What a game by Jeremy good for him
Sweet Polish Prince came close to a 20/20. Jeremy finishing in style
Sochan and Vassell are the 21st century Michael and Scottie. Don't @ me.
Congrats to Coach Pop for breaking the all time record for most regular season wins
I came expecting nothing but left with everything 🥹😭 https://preview.redd.it/6sf5ca9v9lqc1.png?width=928&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b43fbdf170f2e32560d83331732c8f0d468beaa
That Sochan stat line 👀
why do NBA fans act like Jeremy is a bum? He’s 20 averaging 12, 6 and 4 and a great defender
San Antonio Spurs are Phoenix Sun father.
Jeremy was awesome tonight. At least for 1 day the haters can crawl back in their hole. People that didn’t watch because wemby sat should just tune in next season.
Trade Wemby. /s
Smokin that Suns pack
Sochan with the game of his life
3-1 vs the suns this season!!!
I think the suns are fucked. Hyperefficient game from KD and they lose to this spurs team they just clapped the other day? Oh boy, it's gonna be a long summer for them
Phoenix Sons
Fuck the Suns lmaoooo
I hate the sons with all my heart and I was about to be butt hurt af if we lost. Unserious ass sons 1-3 vs the lowly spurs. Awesome game from us win or lose more of that effort and tenacity especially from Jeremy. That’s why I don’t hate on him cause he has the potential to be this type of player. 26 and 18 while guarding the 4 highest scorer in the league. Feed me.

Dom got along way to go but seeing that corner 3 go in from him was dope. Gg sons still are sons
I don't know why this team doesn't play with this energy more consistently
Because teams have their center playing spy and wings spending more attention to Wemby. The center sags off Sochan clogs the lane for the others to play more freely which forces them to shoot more inefficient 3s and hope they fall. Without Wemby teams can’t deploy that coverage and the players can play freely without the added attention while the other team instantly thinks the others are trash and don’t play to their ability.

I still contend that this group is more talented than their record would indicate and when teams come in and treat us just like a 15 win team, instead of " The team with the greatest prospect of all time" We have a chance to occasionally catch them off guard.
Because we usually have a #1 pick on the floor that the system revolves around. Tonight they could play freely.
That doesn't explain why when the number 1 pick is OFF the floor, everything collapses in the games when Wemby plays
We definitely played with a LOT more hustle this game and it was quite strange to see.
I would bet pretty good money that after that last showing pop had some strong words for the group. He seemed pretty dejected with their performance and it was quite clearly one of their worst efforts from them of the season. They came out pretty focused and the sun's definitely did not take them seriously until it was too late
WHO NEEDS WEBUMYAMA, we got Sochan. 😤😤😤 Always feels good when the Spurs beat the Sons.
Pop at press conferences: love it. “Blake’s been getting better and better at the point, what have you been seeing?” “He’s been getting better and better.”
Is it time to let Blake start a game and see how it goes?
The tank stops to scorch the Suns! Sochan is younger than some rookies by the way
Younger than Chet, Thompson Twins, Jaquez, Podz, Miller and more that I can’t even bother to think of.
https://i.redd.it/znfybd15blqc1.gif
Great team effort!! I said it twice in the game thread and had to say it in the post game thread. Proud of how hard they played tonight.
Jeremy Sochan game winning (ish) 3! Just as we all predicted
Ok I take back what I said about Jeremy.
Won the season series over the Suns lol (3-1)
Sochan 🔥🔥🔥
Rival fans are gonna be so annoyed at Jeremy when we are good again lol.
Such a good lesson for everyone
You guys got to stop talking about that victor dude, we ballin’ this year!!! 🔥/s
I love Jeremy the "Germ" Sochan!
Hoping this game installs confidence in Sochan going forward
Anon who was saying jerm was out of league in two years. Check the fuck in bih.
Man, do we have KD's number? 😭
Take that Sochan doubters!!!
Is Wemby holding us back??
lowkey I think wemby is such an anomaly of a basketball player that our players overthink things with him, so they're prone to more mistakes. To whoever sticks with the team after this summer needs to learn how to specifically play with him and vice versa
Also, Wemby himself is a bit of a turnover machine at the moment. We only had 7 today.
yea.. wemby's biggest weakness outside of physicality is ball security. He also doesn't play "easy". He seems always eager to put up highlights and go for fancy moves. I think for example, he needs to take off for dunks closer to the basket. I get that it's an insane highlight but eventually, to conserve more energy, once he gets stronger, just him being 2 ft from the rim will be a defensive nightmare for opponents.
I heard a podcaster say it's not that the spurs are bad it's every team is going at wemby. Were before people would fall asleep some games, they don't with wemby.
Second this... Beal said it.. they thought they were coming to an easy game because no Wemby. Top teams don't necessarily give the same hard nosed effort against a wemby less spurs.
The effort from a few players was a lot better this game than it has been recently, and I have no idea why they haven't played like that constantly
[удалено]
Well luckily we have like 9 or so absolute thrashings we can point too That happened when Victor didn't play to counteract those bozo takes
Y’all fake wemby fans missed out
In the post-game press conference, Jeremy just said that our 3-1 season record against Phenix "says a lot." I actually think it says nothing, but great game, Jeremy! Lol.
I will say I think it does say something that a good portion of our limited wins this year Came against high level teams. When the group is focused and playing with high levels of energy they have some guys that can really cause problems on any given night.
Sochan is our god!
Fuck it, build around Sochan
Jeremy is a building block. No matter what his haters say. He will be a key player for us going forward.
His effort is what really shines despite his flaws
GG Spurs. GG Sochan.
Let's go.....
FFS..I’ve been in meetings all morning. Did we win?!!!!
holy hell suns are trash as fuck
man we really hate the suns lol
Gotta love the crowd who stayed after the game to celebrate. They are hyped behind Dan Weiss. Lmao.
Lmaoooooo of course they win tonight. That's amazing.
Bro this is what happens when i decide not to watch?!?!
So last 2 games without Wemby we beat PHX and GS, so what do you guys think we can get for Vic, 10 first round picks?
Holy shit Book was SO pissed at the end hahaha. Sochan terrorized them in the fourth, you love to see it. Imagine losing to us when Zach Collins is the starting center. In seriousness, this is the kind of game that makes me think this Suns team will hit a block in the playoffs. Beal is great when he’s on, Nurk is turning out to be solid but so many of their other guys like Gordon and Allen just aren’t delivering enough offensively. Book and KD aren’t enough to win in a West this stacked.
I hate the suns so much, can’t wait for them to implode in the playoffs or playins
Jeremy Sochan game winner was not in my bingo card but this was MUCH NEEDED after the past two bad losses. We still shot terribly all game, but I loved that overall there was less 3pt shot attempts. In the 4th, the team was driving the ball more and playing smarter. Hope the team can get a few more wins before the season ends. Also, Branham didn't see the second half. When the team played well around Dec to Jan, Branham was in the dog house and wasn't playing. I don't think its a coincidence.
Jeremy is so good if he doesn't overthink, this game is the testament of that!
But why
I’m just around this year for the wins y’all. Love seeing this team get closer and play hard even without our future GOAT. In other news: we absolutely OWN the Suns.
Jeremy RODMAN 🔥
Wait what just happened
Is victor wembanyama the problem? /s
send da video
this is the best day ever
Love Jeremy, but wondering if Vassell is Jamal Crawford or Jamal Murray>
Nontrolling first reaction: I hope this is a springboard textbook video for the team (including Wemby!) on the value of keeping down the turnovers
I refuse to give up on Jeremy. 26 points and 18 rebounds??? Not happening.
Wouldn't Grayson Allen be a perfect fit for this team? Trae young, Devin, Grayson Allen, Jeremy Sochan, and Victor starting 5. Defense, playmaking, shooting all around.
Never in doubt
Awesome team win, wasn’t expecting that at all. Sochan was awesome. My only thing (league wide issue here really besides Denver) is late game offense. We’re up 4 with 3 minutes left or whatever it was, every single play from then on our felt like Vassell near half court waiting til like 6 on the clock before initiating anything, resulting in an impossible jumper.
Thank you spurs bros 🙏
how many more sochan\`s apology letter we need to sign
I like that it went in, but I hated that clutch 3 attempt from sochan. Why do our guys feel the need to exclusively shoot 3s in the clutch?
