It's a tough call to make for the ref as Jones trying to foul him and Johnson stealing the ball was happening simultaneously. Johnson may have stolen the ball first before Jones grabbed Durant's arm.

I don't think so. The Suns were expecting a quick foul from Spurs with under 7 secs remaining so the play was to give the ball to their best shooter which is Durant. He did well protecting the ball against the players in front of him but nobody would have expected someone to steal from behind and from the corner.

That's good stats for a rookie already and we can say that there's a lot of improvements will came unto this guy since he's just adopting to the game which is totally new to him. For sure when Wemby gets a lot of experience then got familiar about the league also got a proper team chemistry on the team where he is now for sure he became more competitive player. Many worries about possible injury but its already given and for sure that he also take care his body and be careful about those unfortunate incident that might happen to him since he really know that his career might get ruin if he get a serious injury at early of his career. Future is really good for this young kid and he should continue to strive to maximize his potential and possible can give Spurs another championship on their franchise.

He will someday, he needs more experience. Double-double won't be a problem for him and I bet he will break record after record. He is young and he may want to build some body muscles so he can cover more floor when he box out.
Anyway, that's a nice first win for the San Antonio Spurs although I agree that it's clearly a foul against Durant. He was already expecting the call but he also made a mistake by not moving to defense after the defender took the ball from him.

@5.50. I hope that will change as I also will be betting for the Denver Nuggets but I want to maximize the profits. I think it will be impossible though since they kept on winning their games.

Clippers is a strong line-up without Harden but that might change when he comes in. I think by losing most of the bench they played better too, the rotation ain't that difficult for Coach Tyronn Lue anymore as he won't need to change from offense to defense like it's NFL. 
Kawhi Leonard on the other hand ain't that productive on the offensive end last night but it's just the start of the season so I am not judging yet.

It was a dissapointing loss, and it wasn't supposed to end that way. There were quite a few mistakes in the final seconds of the game. I'm certain they won't easily forget losing by just one point, especially after Wemby's crucial offensive rebound. Durant had the ball snatched from him, and his final shot was well-contested. It was, in fact, a great game, but for Suns fans, the outcome was likely disappointing.

Spurs is a young squad which I am sensing will change a ton after a while, their issue is that nobody is entirely sure how long Pop will continue to do this, but as long as he can keep doing it for another 5-6 years then they should be fine, he is 74, so he will get near 80 by that time, not easy. I mean they lost by 40 points to Clippers, and they were losing by a huge margin to Suns as well, and then they made a comeback and won that game.

I do agree that it was a foul, but it is just a game, so it is not that important at this stage. I think it is quite important to realize that bouncing back from terrible mistakes is a big experience for these young kids, and they learn a lot from it. They still need some good squad around Wemby though.

They did, in fact, call a timeout right after Keldon Johnson's driving layup, but there was only 1 second left on the clock, and Durant couldn't sink the last shot. Since I missed watching the game live, I confirmed by checking out the game story, and it indeed showed that they called a timeout.

They can't stick with that only as refs can sometimes miss to call a foul, and if it's not called, there's no foul to discuss. The crux of their mistake was allowing the Spurs to score 14 more points than them in the last quarter (33-19). Had they prevented that big run, the debate over a possible foul wouldn't even be on the table.

It's undoubtedly a tough loss for them, but it's crucial to keep emotions in check. They should take this experience as a lesson, let it go, and focus on the many games still ahead.

Poole's ball-hogging behavior is quite crazy; he doesn't seem to consider passing the ball to his teammates and appears to believe he can carry the team all on his own. Perhaps he's still riding the preseason high when he scored 41 points, but it's becoming apparent that this approach is not effective in the regular season. Defenses are tighter, and if Poole doesn't adjust his mentality, he might find himself falling out of favor with his teammates.

CP3 is number 8 in APG this season why Poole is at 87. LOL.. Warriors knows Poole would continue destroying the team if they'll keep him.

That steal off of KD was hilarious. KD looked dumbfounded. I know Booker and Beal are out right not, but I really don't feel like the Spurs should have been in that game and the plays at the end shouldn't have mattered. Suns IMO are fairly deep with KD, Gordon, Nurkic, Allen, and Watanabe they should have handled the Spurs easily.
