    ESPN talks about Wemby the way we sarcastically talk about Sengun...

    Being in Pops doghouse for a year may be the best thing that can happen for Victor.. Unfortunately Silver would have a massive b**** fit and won't have it..

    Most exciting part of this game so far has been the ending of the 1st quarter.... Thank goodness its over...

    Boy, watching Wemby play so far has been as fun as watching paint dry. 8 points in the first quarter...for the whole team? Ain't for me. I'm out.

    I was thinking, the NBA has been hyping this dude up before he was in the NBA (which seemed so crazy). Then they gave him to the Spurs *cough*. And right now it looks like he's not going to be the world-beater he was hyped as - at least not off the bat. Which is fine, but I have to put up with Doris and Mark sitting there talking about him like he's got 30 and 15 in a half all game long.

    Shotblocking is as advertised... everything else, not so much, so far.

    This could go either way tbh. Pop can be extremely harsh and would have no issue benching Wemby in a heartbeat but I don't think he will any ways. I think Pop signing that 5 year deal means they are going to tank for the next 2 seasons until that Cooper Flagg draft class.

    Despite Wemby's delusion this is a bottom 5 Spurs team.

    Even worse about this game is that Shaedon Sharpe forgot how to dunk. No other real reason to watch this game, although Wemby did hit a jumper and get a dunk. Uh oh...

    I know Pop is a great teacher but he's gotta adjust to his offensive skill set.. Sometimes just give him the ball just past half court and tell everyone get the **** outta the way..

    Was sucking and then got about 3 or 4 buckets in various ways. They took him out so he doesn't break in half. Game itself kind of sucks.

    His skill is definitely there, but he seems a bit slow, awkward doing some of the moves that seemed so fluid in his highlight clips.
