Game Thread Spurs (40-16) vs Pistons (42-13) (Mon 02/23/26) [6:00 PM CST] on Peacock

In the Ringer's updated player top 100 player rankings, Wemby's playing with 2 other top 100 players while SGA's playing with 7 and Jokic plays with 4. If the Spurs end up finishing with the best record in the league or close especially combined with his counting stats and his winning record against OKC (TBD against Denver), it's sort of hard to argue that he's not the MVP under these circumstances. You either have to give Wemby credit or the rest of the team credit.

Spurs: 3
Wemby - 3
Fox - 29
Castle - 50

Thunder: 8
SGA - 2
Chet - 21
JDub - 30
IHart - 64
Caruso - 70
Dort - 80
Wallace - 81
Mitchell - 86

Nuggets: 5
Jokic - 1
Murray - 15
Gordon - 48
Watson - 67
Cam Johnson - 94

Crazy jump for Watson, I remember someone arguing he was worse than Sochan this season on this board somewhere. I also feel like Dort has had an under the radar shit season but idk.

Favorite part of this game was when Julian got a 3 in the corner late and JB was screaming at him right behind him and he sank the three and turned around and I can only hope said "Shut the fuck up"

I rewatched it again and apparently that was Jarrett Jack, one of the assistants. Dude probably forgot for a moment that he’s a coach, not a player.

Lots of comments on this play and how this was somehow inappropriate of Jack, but I didn't see it that way. All part of the game. Glad Jules made him eat it. No need to send the tape to the league, just keep draining that triple in their faces.

I'm a big Fox fan and agree that Fox can positively impact games even when he is shooting poorly. But last night Fox was almost treading into give-the-game-away level poor shooting. Freaks me out against a good team like DET, they could pounce on that.
