Could conservatively see something like this for the foreseeable…

2000+ pts
400+ asts
350+ blks

Ridiculous.

Bravo to one of the goat rookie seasons, one of the most entertaining seasons I can remember.

Damn bro that sucks, hope you still have a good time with your kid. French fans have been spamming Spurs official social medias all week to beg Pop to play Wemby on Sunday since Spurs only had a few early weekend games. They malding now.

At least we wont have to wait too long to see him back in action in early july.

At least Bornstellar didn't plan a trip to another country, book everything, get there, only to find out Wemby - and three other starters and three (or is it four? I've lost count) other players won't be playing.

But I knew what I was in for - final game of the season versus a team with the worst record in the league - and so I planned to do other things while here, as I always do.

And I'm still riding the high from the Nuggets game. It's a pity half the roster isn't available but last game is more than enough to carry me through.

We've had at least 70 games of Wemby. I've loved every minute. Hopefully Sidy starts and we have another French talent to gush over.

Wemby invited the kid who caught the ball he threw into the stands against the Knicks which was then taken away by Knicks staff, to the Nuggets game and gave him a signed replacement ball.

That's exactly what happened to me back in 2006.

Travelled from Brazil to Canada, and while there I had money to attend 2 NBA games.

I choose Raptors vs Spurs as one of them (the other was Raptors vs Bulls) specifically because I wanted to see Duncan play.

Well... come game day, Duncan was DNP. And he made the trip, he was on the arena, on the bench, cheering for his teammates. On the boxscore, IIRC, it appeared he was out due to the flu.

At least the game was very good, it went to triple OT.

Vets will want to play with Wemby it’s up to the Spurs to find a star guard. If they can find a 1a guard like all nba potential they will be competing for Championships.

It will be hard to find though…. I’m talking a Butler, Mitchell, a Murray, Brunson, Shai type.

Come to think of it should they trade for Mitchell?

Would be crazy if Chet pulled off the upset. Has the better advanced stats, efficiency, and team success. The people who have votes have favored him more during the season. They waiting to announce it before game 1 against the Mavs.

Looks like they will announce today and the Spurs have some media activity scheduled. Seems like it will be Wemby

Pretty close to a perfect call except for the one Miller vote for 2nd
