That was his 3rd block. Worked to Vic's advantage. Let him rest to regain energy to hunt the last two.

Quote:

Wembanyama also joined Michael Jordan as the only players to get at least five steals and five blocks in consecutive games.

"I wonder if (Jordan) did it in wins, not losses," Wembanyama said. "To me, it's secondary. Hopefully in the future we can look back and see this as a good performance, but as of today, I can't be satisfied in a loss."

Spurs are reportedly high on Dalton Knecht. I assume he'd be an option with the Toronto pick.

He will be 23 in April but this team needs shooting and creativity.

Where did you see that they were high on him?

I like him but I'm not sure about using a top 7 pick on him.

We need a lot of things. Like Sher Thing, I don't know that I see him as a top 10 pick, especially as a defensive liability when we have such an awful perimeter defense.

Trae Young out a month. Atlanta might fall in the standings fast.

Turnovers plus poor shooting is a bad combo. Ask Buzz.

It is like they are meeting at training camp for the first time together.

You're a masochist if you want to keep this team together.

Pop pulled Keldon in the first quarter after one possession and never out him back in.

If we get old Pop back and a historic Victor season, it will be a success.

Next year is going to be so different when our starting five is Wemby, Sochan, LeBron, Devin, and Trae.

I was at the game, he got yanked right after the foul on Marreken's 3 pointer and1, Pop chewed out Keldon at end of bench for a solid minute.

Per the athletic, the Spurs' defensive rating is 24th in the league. In Wemby's minutes, they would be 7th. I think he should be a contender for DPOY. Definitely all defensive team.

If Wemby is ok with one more tank season, Toronto keeping their pick this year and us getting their pick next year is a better long-term prospect.

Theoretically, next year we could have:
1. ATL
2. SAS
7. TOR
11. CHI
15. CHA

Toronto just won 3 in a row. Brooklyn is also falling off and still time for Atlanta/Chicago to lose. Memphis is likely going to hold onto 6th or worse with Bane and Smart out for three more weeks. I think it's a very good chance it conveys this year. Playin is even still alive for the raptors
