I also stated a fact.

You try to be the smart ass stirring the pot but your only achievement so far is to swing and miss. Your takes on Barnes are painfully bad and it is even worst for Wemby.

What take about Wemby are you talking about? I only mentioned a stat. You should stop halucinating and thinking I was implicating it was his fault that we lost those games. I never said that anywhere. My take on Barnes being the weak link in the starting line up is so bad, that half the forum is looking for forward options so he can move to the bench.

He was spamming the same bs post in different threads

He's owns some of the worst takes ever, A real idiot.

Maybe you guys can take this battle to DMs, because it really doesn't have a place here.

Thanks.

I've never initiated anything with this idiot, just answered his attacks.

I thought you had a policy about gross insults? Too buddy-buddy with him to act?

I quite literally just acted, you even replied directly to it.

"acted", yeah right ...

You're the only one continuing it (and adding another insult in the process). It's been made pretty clear: cut it out.

Thanks.

wtf are you talking about?

Find me just one instance where I initiated anything or... cut it out.

You're such a hypocrite

I will DM you to avoid cluttering this thread up with anymore nonsense.

you guys have a lot of patience. But true, when 2 posters start going back and forth I just skip a block of posts

That’s not what the posters are saying, but a more guards-initiated offense vs Wemby catching the ball at the key and trying to break his defender’s ankles, until he gets post dominant. Castle, Harper need to keep attacking the rim, draw defense. Wemby with his height and skills is the best opportunistic scorer. He will get his ally-ops, open shots. Klay Thompson didn’t even have to dribble to get a shot!

Not what you're saying, perhaps - and that would make you a more level-headed observer, bien sur - but there's quite a number who parrot the same line, lemme tell you.

Not sure what the rules are at this point, but if Wemby misses this and next years 65 game mark, it's actually good for our salary cap, right?

Pretty sure this year is kind of irrelevant in terms of contract (Vic aint getting MVP this season). Next year is when the potential impact happens.

Has he missed enough games to be ineligible? IF the Spurs finish in top 2-3 seeds, I’m sure Wemby will be up there in MVP consideration

He still has 5 games to miss to be ineligible for the awards.

Yup if the team continues winning, Wemby will be in thick discussion for MVP imo

I don't think so as the team is too balanced with many players scoring double figures and hence Wemby's stats will not be as impressive as others.

Maxey, Luka, SGA, Joker, Giannas, Cade and even Austin Reeves are putting up MVP numbers.


If Joker is not eligible for MVP, I guess SGA will repeat as MVP given that OKC will still have the best record in the league by far and the greatest net +/- of all time.

 

[LeBowen]

Wemby's stats will not be as impressive as others.

Why not?
He was at 26/13/4 with 3.5 blocks before the minutes restriction.

Even 24/12/3 with 3 blocks is impressive considering he's by far the best defender in the league.

Yea but other people like SGA and Luka etc are putting up 30+ points triple double. I also think we have to factor in potential 'minor injuries' from Wemby that might restrict his mins again which will lower his stats further.

Nonetheless, the one big advantage that Wemby has over them would be if Spurs able to maintain 2nd seed. But that would also depend on how big the gap is between 2nd seed and the 1st seed OKC.

Realistically, the best chance for Wemby would be Spurs captured the 2nd seed and the Media people starting to dislike FT merchant SGA and decided Wemby should take the place of the face of the league now.

 

[spursparker9]

Beside Derrick Rose, is there anyone else who won regular season MVP while on their rookie contract?

I don't recall anyone else because the NBA introduced the new Derrick Rose rule when that happened

 

[LeBowen]

Yea but other people like SGA and Luka etc are putting up 30+ points triple double.

Sga is averaging 32/4.6/6.4 and will deservedly win the MVP.
Luka is at 33/8/9 with worse TS% than Wemby and is a traffic cone on defense.
Those 20 extra points his offense generates are given right back on the other end.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

If the team holds up with the same winning percentage, or just slightly lower than the current one, until Vic finally plays at a hundred percent, he has a decent chance IMO. There is still more than enough time to adjust the narrative in his favor.

The only thing against him (in addition to SGA sustaining his otherworldly season - and he seems likely able to sustain it) is the 65-game limit, which is looking a bit more dire with each passing week.
