Sometimes your opponent starts the half 10 of 12 from 3. Sometimes it’s not a whole lot deeper than that
Genuine question, is Jordan “greater” because all of his lost playoff series came before the Finals?
Would his GOAT resume be diminished if he won game 7 of the ECF in 1990 but lost in the Finals?
The all-time greats are great in the finals. And you’re a lowlife with a personal attack because of a basketball opinion. Plus, you’re a coward with no photo.

I remember when the Fox trade first happened, many were haranguing over shooting or contract demands, etc but @Sam_Vecenie was high on the trade because of the potential lethality of a Fox/Wemby PnR.
1.5 seasons later, we are finally seeing it in fruition and it’s glorious

Fun that Wemby stamina discourse is back on the menu.
Things aren’t black and white. It’s possible:
A) Wemby’s stamina was an issue in the Finals
And
B) it’s not that he *can’t* play more regular season minutes. He doesn’t *need* to
Are both true
But Luka doesn’t have that narrative despite looking flat and gassed in a five game Finals series against an Eastern Conference powerhouse
I think these young European stars are used to an abbreviated schedule and there is a real skill in staying fresh an entire finals run
the narrative comes from the finals, where we all saw wemby have significant declines in the fourth quarter, which enabled the massive knicks comebacks in many of the games
who knows if he has solved the conditioning problem this year, but if they don’t ramp his minutes up in the second half of the year, I’m skeptical

If the Spurs win tonight, it will be their earliest 10 game winning streak in a season since the 2010-2011 season
The @seanelliott_32 “Sometimes a dunk is with more than 2 points” literally true somehow.
Wemby has been so good recently he has broken the laws of math
Wemby is averaging nearly 2.5 points per shot attempt in his last game and a half
In other words, every time he dunks it he’s bringing that number down

Wemby is averaging 30.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks per game in less than 30 minutes played per game LOOOOL
That works out to 36.3 pts, 14.4 reb, and 5.4 blks per 36 min.
No one in NBA history has recorded a full season with 30/10/5 per 36 min.
It was Nov last year when Dillon Brooks, Draymond Green, and Marcus Smart all defended him well in a short span of time. The stout guard thing has been very ineffective against him this year.
This is so fluid right now. What worked in June probably won't work in spring of 2027
Only 5 five-man lineups have played at least 200 possessions this season.
The Spurs starting lineup MIIIIIGHT be the best of the five. Hard to say at this point
Castle's fgDR%*: 13.6% - 97th percentile for combo guards
Wemby's fgDR%: 25.9% - 92nd percentile for bigs
Harper's fgDR%: 13.2% - 81st percentile for wings
Fox's fgDR%: 11.0% - 71st percentile among point guards.
4 strong to elite positional rebounders

I hear the obvious retort here: "It's Kornet minutes boosting him!"
The Spurs net rating with Wemby on is +28.3. With Harper it's +22.4. The Lakers' net rating with Luka on is +18.5.
You can take out the on-off framing, and just make it net-rating on and Wemby tops the list
