I'm really hoping that's the case and he doesn't play against the Pacers; with not only a playoff berth, but also the #2 seed pretty much secured already, the Spurs should be leaning heavily into the "rest guys for the postseason" strategy. Wemby needs to play the games to qualify for...

I used to want Vic to set stronger picks, but tbh, having watched teams hack the shit out of him off-ball all season long, I've grown to be content with his slipping, as it's seemingly a very conscious strategy to preserve his knees/legs healthy. We'll have to live with that, I guess, unless it...

I'm going optimistic with 10-2 -- I don't see this team losing to MIA in their current state, and while Denver is very unpredictable in their current state, I think it's a game the Spurs absolutely have circled on their calendar and will take seriously, especially after losing the last time +...

What a shot from WeMVP to seal the game - calm, collected and methodical. Glad he made it as he'd been missing some go-ahead midrange shots in past games - that's a great confidence builder leading into the playoffs. Beating the Sons while clinching a playoff spot at the same time just makes it...

Thanks! It's been a VERY welcome sight, because there's just no other play I want them to run heavily in the post-season. I think many of us had that tantalizing "can you imagine a PnR with Wemby?!?" idea ever since he was drafted, and it really hasn't disappointed one bit ever since Fox and...

It's been a looot of teams going after Barnes this season it feels like, and tbh, who can blame them - when he's on the court with Castle, Wemby, Champ, they'd be dumb not to go at him. Which is all the more reason for Carter to eat into his minutes in the POs - can't afford a weak link, not...

Wemby glaze aside -- I'm surprised at many names/positions on the list; from Raynaud being so terribly low for all the praise he's gotten on this board, to Jokic being so high for his bad defensive reputation. Looks like he's been putting in work on that end this season. Also, Kornet's position...

It's really much higher than it'd be on a "normal season" due to Wemby being so close to missing the games requirement to qualify for DPOY, All-NBA etc awards. Like, tremendous 50-win season notwithstanding, I'd imagine any season with the Spurs being pretty much locked into a top-seed, they'd...

Give it a playoff run first before we crown Dylan as a future MVP sort of talent, tbh. I like the guy and etc, but plenty rookies have looked great in their first RS that couldn't elevate their games (not saying it's looked likely, just, give it time). Overall, I can't see the Spurs repeating...

It baits the defender into going for the reach (that BroLo went for in the clip), then once you've got them, it's an easy recover to the basket with the defender out of place to contest. I was expecting Castle to go up-and-under to use the rim as protection, but hey, whatever works :st-lol:

He's only 30yo, it's not like he's an over-the-hill vet. No reason he can't be the backup C to Victor with a young C in the pipeline to split the minutes with. He has more than enough chemistry with everyone on the court, Wemby included, to where I wouldn't switch him out of the backup C spot...

It's really tragic that FraudKlahoma is having such a statistically-impressive season - and not getting punished for their antics, as they should - because it's hard to see Wemby taking the MVP from SGA at this point. It's good that we beat down on the Thunder 4-1 like we did, but it kinda...

Bryant can miss all his 3pt shots and still be a better player than Harrison Barnes can ever hope to be at this stage of his career. I'm hoping for Mitch to have a damn realization moment and start giving him the minutes he deserves, get him as acclimated to a bigger role as possible before the...

Yeah, there were actually a lot more folks doubting IF the swap would ever convey, than there were folks just expecting a lottery pick from the Hawks, from what I saw. We've been collectively much more blindsided by the Spurs' resounding success than Midlanta's continued middling, tbh

This debate is so stupid. It's not called the "Best of All Time", it's the Greatest, and there's just no comparison to Jordan's image, cultural presence in and especially outside of basketball fans, global media reach, and lasting cultural impact. I agree with the takes that modern...
