Summer League Game Thread - WEMBY'S DEBUT - Spurs/Hornets 7/7/23 @ 8PM CDT on ESPN

[Leetonidas]

Dibs on making the Wemby debut thread :flag:

LFG!!!

[BatManu20]

Can’t wait for the pre-game protests outside the arena from Britney Spears stans tbh.

[BatManu20]

But yea, it’s Wemby time :cry

She seems like old news...I'd be surprised if that happens. But, it is America, as she stated so well. :lol






Cool to see our first Wemby game thread!!

[timvp]

We back, my brothers and sisters.

:danceclub

[SpursFan86]

Most hyped SL game of all-time...regardless of how it goes this place (and Twitter) will be in shambles :lol 8 PM can't come soon enough.

[sfernald]

I understand they are having the formal ceremony for Wemby's entrance to the NBA Hall of Fame directly after the game!

[Joseph Kony]

Can’t wait for the pre-game protests outside the arena from Britney Spears stans tbh.
good thing it wasnt Taylor Swift tbh, that bitch has a legit army of fangirls ready to go to war for her :lol

[BatManu20]

Facts. It’s actually insane how popular T-Swift has become, especially with white girls. Saw the other day that her current tour is estimated to surpass over $1 Billion in total gross revenue…. Which would obv be a record. Insane tbh.

[rjv]

Can’t wait for the pre-game protests outside the arena from Britney Spears stans tbh.

LVPD announced that no charges will be filed so maybe they'll move their protests to outside the police department headquarters.

[LeBowen]

A part of me wants Spurs to DNP Wemby just for the massive outrage that would happen in mainstream media. :lmao

Anyhow, if it's Wesley-Branham-Champagnie-Wembanyama-Barlow starting lineup and they don't get pulled early, I fully expect a 50 points blowout, Hornets SL roster is just disgustingly bad.

I'm a little worried Brandon will be gunning for Wemby!!

Hopefully Miller’s struggles continue for Charlotte tbh. He’s prob going to come in extra-focused to try show up Wemby.

[Obstructed_View]

Honestly, this may be the most hyped Spurs game of all time.

That is an absolutely sick SL lineup the way those guys played in Sacramento.

If this was a different organization I wouldn't be surprised to see them to run up the score and put the (summer) league on notice. But the Spurs don't operate that way. If they do win by 50 it will be because of how bad the Hornets are.

[heyheymymy]

Still feels like a dream come true.

Wish Victor the best!

[rjv]

but as to the game, some of the things I will be looking for:

1) how does Wemby respond to all the hype.

2) how do the other players respond to all the hype.

3) which spur has the best game?

4) how will Wemby be used?

5) and, of course, the play of branham, wesley, barlow, cissoko and champagnie.

[HankChinaski]

I've been doing that Police Academy Hightower as a voodoo witch doctor chant in the back of the police van all week except it starts with "Wembi-yama-yama-yama-yaaah-muh."

[slick'81]

No YAMA drama just W's

[Splits]

wonder what the vegas odds are for Miller with more fouls than points. +300?

[HankChinaski]

Doesn't want to play the clip.

[InRareForm]

Not expecting much tbh, but still hyped for 5pm

[FuzzyLumpkins]

good thing it wasnt Taylor Swift tbh, that bitch has a legit army of fangirls ready to go to war for her :lol

The BeeHive is probably the most notorious.

[heyheymymy]

If it was Taylor Swift a publicist would've arranged a meet up like normal people do.

Still unbelievable that people want to blame a security guard (or worse, the guard's client?) for literally doing their job exactly correctly and not Brit for being a dangerous and impulsive feral crackhead with zero tact or respect.

Good to know if I ever see Brit in public I can just walk up and reach out and grab without permission and she's totally cool with it, right?

[BatManu20]

Wemby will prob press a bit early on to try and impress everyone and wind up going like 4-12 from the field or some shit and everyone on Twitter will call him overrated and a bust. That’s my guess.

[Spurs Homer]

In before spurstalk starts crashing and we see dupe posts and pissed off posters!

I'll reserve judgement until more evidence comes out, but yeah...who would've thought it's a bad idea to run up to a guy with full security detail and just try to touch/grab him?

Doesn't make a difference if you are Britney Spears or whoever, it is security's job to keep people away. She should understand as someone who has publicly flamed fans for not giving her space or privacy

She's gone off the deep-end anyways, which is probably why this isn't garnering more attention

Idk he completely dominated the GLeague scrubs and while summer league has some young NBA players most of them are still GLeague quality guys

Wemby gonna drop a 40 piece imo

[tonight...you]

About to be out of town, but I'll have internet. Anyone have a good link to stream?

[heyheymymy]

Will be curious yet doubtful to see if Victor runs with Sidy any which would imply some center play. I like Barlow/Wembanyama though.

Shit run Barlow/Sidy with Vic at the 3 just to test out different looks. Now is the time to try that if you were ever going to.

[SpursFan86]

Over/under 15 minutes played for Victor tonight? All this hype and he's going to play 5 minutes in the first and sit the rest of the night :lol

1 year, 2 months and 1 week ago, my first Wemby post:

Holy crap. Look at the 1:00 mark how he grabs the ball with one hand after a pass, like you'd do if they throw you a tennis ball. Unlike Chet's, this dude's hype seems legit.
So much anticipation and the time has finally come... :hungry::flag:

Doubt the Espn+hulu package will show the game tonight ... probably gotta pay for the live tv

[BatManu20]

The newly opened Las Vegas Sphere is nuts. They debuted it on Tuesday to celebrate the 4th of July. $2.3 Billion to build it (!!). Fucking crazy. Pretty cool though tbh. I imagine this is what the future of major cities will look like. Just high-tech LED light buildings everywhere.

Breaking News:

San Antonio Spurs sign G Sritney Bpears as a last second replacement to Summer League roster for Sir'Jabari Rice. Little is known about the 5'4" guard from Mississippi making their league debut at Friday night's sold out game.

Guard Bpears says they are excited to play alongside sensation Victor Wembanyama, quote "I've been trying to get close to Victor since draft night, huge fan and an honor to finally get within arms reach tonight, muahahaha"

[Russ]

1677300843136290817

I paid $45 and have an actual physical ticket (to keep). Just made a modest bet on the Spurs minus 6.5. Seems too good to be true and those are the bets you always lose.

[slick'81]

5'4 pg? Lfg

1/10 and you have to go root for the Pelicans

[heyheymymy]

Enjoy the game Russ!

Going to be one hell of a claim to fame down the line. I'd be framing that ticket stub for sure.

[lefty20]

Considering the hype and the expectations, bro gonna need to put up a 50pt 1st quarter or be labeled a bust.

[MannyIsGod]

God damn this isn't until 9pm ET? Eastern Time is really the worst time zone for sports as you age. Too old for the late ass games.

[heyheymymy]

I still don't know when this is going to sink in for me with Victor going to San Antonio.

I started screaming when the #2 went to CHA-

I saw him wear the hat, I saw him land at the airport, I saw him sign the deal, I saw him shoot around in the Spurs jersey.

Still hasn't hit me yet that this is real. Can't wait to see him running in an official Spurs Summer League game tonight. Hope it finally hits me.

But then OP goes to the cinema and turns out the "wife" secretly had rented it out to play ESPN on the big screen for him and OP gets an IMAX showing of the Wembanyama Summer League debut like no other.

[heyheymymy]

holy shit T & M is going to be at NBA Finals level capacity/intensity for a Summer League game.

Entire lower bowl looks packed already, 3 hours before tip. Incredible.

[heyheymymy]

Is the venue general admission? Why are people camping out beforehand aren't tickets seated?

[GAustex]

Seems like an over reaction.
Hope the kid plays the game and gets a feel for what is next

[Darkwaters]

Is the venue general admission? Why are people camping out beforehand aren't tickets seated?

More or less. You can buy a ticket with a reserved access section near the court for like $200. All of the other tickets are a flat $45 and there are no assigned seats. All of the tickets are also for the full day and not a single game. Today they're playing a total of 8 games and your ticket could theoretically get you into all 8. So some of the people there now are just trying to watch the game that's already going on. Or the game after that. Or the Spurs game which is after that.

Also, Summer League runs two courts at the same time with both games happening simultaneously. The bigger arena (the one in the picture) is Thomas and Mack where the UNLV basketball team plays. but you can also walk across the concourse (all inside) to Cox Pavilion for a smaller court where they'll have another game going.

[heyheymymy]

good info thanks. Figured it was first come first serve.

Damn 45 bucks and just sit and scout all day over 8 games, hell of a value there.

[Darkwaters]

If you ever go to Summer League I've always found that Cox Pavilion is the much better place to watch games. It's not a whole lot bigger than the gym you'd expect a high school team to play in. As a result you never quite know who you're going to see or happen to sit next to. I had a nice conversation going with the (then) coach of the Chicago Bulls for half the game before I realized who he was.

[Darkwaters]

good info thanks. Figured it was first come first serve.

Damn 45 bucks and just sit and scout all day over 8 games, hell of a value there.

They keep raising the fees though. Apparently this year it's $45 PLUS a $17 "processing fee" which UNLV keeps. The face value of the ticket goes to the NBA I'm sure.

[Uriel]

Underappreciated facet of this game: the Hornets will be looking for revenge following their previous loss. That, and Wemby potentially being distracted by the whole Spears situation, could make this game uglier than many of us hope.

[RD2191]

damn, kinda feel bad for wemby. no way he lives up to the hype (for tonight's game), unless he drops like 50 :lol

[jeebus]

Wembust: 12 points, 4-15 shooting, 5 rebounds, a block, 2 assists, 6 fouls, multiple "overrated" chants. Not even lefty can reverse jinx this.

We all remember how Greg Ostertag dominated Tim Duncan that very first Summer League game and his career never recovered.

Tim who?

[Biggems]

I can see it now....Wemby does the jump ball. Spurs win and call an immediate timeout. Wemby exits the game never to return. Once again Pop trolls TV and the NBA......

I thought it had already been decided that if Wemby didn't score 50 that he was a bust.

Only 14 points? At that point I have to wonder if he can even stick in the G League....

[Arcadian]

Nice, I'm going to the Venetian on business later this year. Didn't even know the sphere was attached to it.

[slick'81]

Wemby's gonna dominate those hornets:clap

[Darkwaters]

Nice, I'm going to the Venetian on business later this year. Didn't even know the sphere was attached to it.

It's on the corner of Koval and Sands. So it's behind the Venetian and across the street. About a block off the strip.

[JPB]

Nah, Wemby gonna dominate, dunking on everyone and swatting everything around.

[Mugen]

This upcoming Blazers/Rockets game is stacked tbh

[spurraider21]

i dont care if wemby is only 19, or not as prepared as duncan was. he should frankly look dominant against this level of competition with nba rules as opposed to what he saw in fiba. this shouldnt be THAT much more of a challenge than his games against ignite where he scored 35+ both times

he should sleepwalk to 20+

[Joseph Kony]

One thing is for sure - no matter if he puts up a pedestrian statline or a dominant one, people are going to make a big deal out of his performance

Wemby needs to slam on somebody and yell "This is fucking America!" in his French accent, tbh.

[kjhip1]

Dang, Henderson looks pretty damn good so far. Blazers rockets matchup is pretty entertaining

[Russ]

This place is an absolute zoo.

It's like it must have been for the Beatles in February '64.

I got here at the end of the first game (two games before the Spurs). Nothing in the lower bowl.

Waited for the between game lull. Nothing.

You walked up and down but no words were spoken. You would simply point at the seat(s) and a simple cordial shake of the head would follow. It almost seemed like we were attempting something illicit that would never happen.

I'm center court right now., 2nd row -- in the upper bowl.

[SpursFan86]

Entertaining warm-up game so far between Portland/Houston. Scoot and Amen both looking real solid. Jabari Smith still looks like shit :lol

[Chomag]

It wouldn't surprise me if Pop trolls the media and fans Sitting wemby with less a min to go before game start.

Pop is there in Vegas and you know he can't help himself with the power flex.

I'm kidding! I hope...

[Mugen]

Amen Thompson looks nice tbh. Good finishes and that change of pace/athleticism looks like the real deal.

More solid than Miller so far for sure :lol

[Mr. Body]

Only one guy on the court can facilitate and it's Scoot. He looks solid. Houston doesn't have a single guy who is looking to pass. Amen is looking good, but I don't buy him as a point guard at all.

[cd98]

timmy still put up 14/8/3/2

Yes I wish people would stop with the Duncan summer league narrative. I bought a ticket and sat court side for that game. Ostertag played great. He was a good NBA player. But Duncan held his own. He got in foul trouble or he would’ve duplicated Ostertag’s numbers. Not a moment of that game did I think Tim might not be awesome. Tim was good the minute the game started against a second or third year starter on a playoff team.

[Chomag]

Scoot's game is reminding me allot of Rod Strickland.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Fuck. My wife wants to go to the movies…. And it’s around the time of their game. Any way to rewatch the games?
The second I saw that Wemby would play in Vegas and not in Sacramento I told my wife that on July 7th we’re watching Wemby’s debut no questions asked :lol

[Mr. Body]

Cam Whitmore on the break has Amen Thompson feet in front of him, does not, cannot pass, loses the ball driving into a defender.

I still like Eason. Hell I like a lot of Rockets players. Hopefully that Harden stink continues to slough off.

Really is a shame...I want to root for Amen but I just don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to do it while he's in Houston.

In terms of their core guys, I think Amen/Eason/Sengun are all going to be good to great players. The rest seem super questionable though...not too high on Green/Jabari/Whitmore/KPJ.

[Chinook]

Jabari is struggling more than he should be. Eason looks like a starter to me. Amen/Green/Smith/Eason could work, but they need a big strong center. Sengun I don't think works with them.

[barakz21]

The second I saw that Wemby would play in Vegas and not in Sacramento I told my wife that on July 7th we’re watching Wemby’s debut no questions asked :lol

Yeah that was kinda on me lol. Wife asked what time we’re gonna watch the movie, and I thought the game was gonna be earlier like in SAC. She had just purchased the tickets when I saw it was at 9.30 lol

[NASpurs]

Feels weird that our team is getting all of this attention due to a high profile player on the team. :lol

[BatManu20]

Boys have arrived.

[Mr. Body]

Jabari is a mess. He's smaller than you'd think and just has no impactful skills. The JBJ/Brandon Miller template is looking rough right now, especially with no one setting them up. Even if someone could set Jabari up, I don't think he'd do anything with it.

[Mr. Body]

Feels weird that our team is getting all of this attention due to a high profile player on the team. :lol

Yeah, like I said elsewhere, there's a time soon when people will see your SAS gear and think you're a new fan.

[cutewizard]

Wemby

Rulesssssssssss

[emanueldavidginobili]

Feels weird that our team is getting all of this attention due to a high profile player on the team. :lol
Yup, definitely gonna feel weird when we have 30 nationally televised games this season lol.

[MannyIsGod]

Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot looking real solid tbh. I was told by the resident big brains that they were busts

I was pretty high on Scott and somewhat high on Sharpe but LOL @ using 1 summer league game as an "I TOLD YOU SO".

[Mugen]

Jabari is struggling more than he should be. Eason looks like a starter to me. Amen/Green/Smith/Eason could work, but they need a big strong center. Sengun I don't think works with them.

Probably FVV/Green/Brooks/Jabari/Sengun

[thiste]

Yeah that was kinda on me lol. Wife asked what time we’re gonna watch the movie, and I thought the game was gonna be earlier like in SAC. She had just purchased the tickets when I saw it was at 9.30 lol
« Look honey, I will make it up to you. Tomorrow I will invite you to dinner at a great restaurant, then we will go to the cinema watch that movie, then you will get a beautiful bouquet of flowers. But tonight, we're watching Wemby's first ever game with the Spurs. »

Problem solved.

[Mr. Body]

Jabari looking better this half, team actually looking to set him up at the arc and other places. He can't do it by himself.

Didn't see who was guarding Scoot early, but they had Amen on him in the second and it slowed him down with length and athletic advantage.

Sharpe looks pretty limited to me. He still just does certain things, more like a role player.

[jermaine]

He makes Barlow looks like a lil kid

[cutewizard]

The new era begins

[SpursFan86]

Amen really can do it all besides shoot. Gives him a very high floor, and if he ever does develop a consistent jumper...watch out.

[thiste]

Scoot is injury prone.

[Mugen]

Damn Scoot with a shoulder injury. Probably won't see him against the Spurs on Sunday.

[spurs1990]

Y'all believe this crowd. Can't spot an empty seat. All this because of #1 this is wild from a Spurs fan POV

[Chinook]

Y'all believe this crowd. Can't spot an empty seat. All this because of #1 this is wild from a Spurs fan POV

There are empty seats here, especially as you go higher up. But they're filling up fast. Lots of Lakers and Warriors fans showing up. It's not all Wemby, but he's driving most of the talk around me.

[Mugen]

Ime going to turn Eason into something good tbh

[SPURt]

[cutewizard]

When does it start

[emanueldavidginobili]

It will be interesting to see how Ime coaches all these raw young bucks.

[PhantomDashCam]

When Whitmore gets an assist, the refs should stop the game and the crowd should give a standing ovation akin to setting an all-time record…

[rascal]

Damn Scoot with a shoulder injury. Probably won't see him against the Spurs on Sunday.

Not good

I wanted to see how the Spurs were going to handle Scoot and Sharpe.

[Ariel]

Fuck. My wife wants to go to the movies…. And it’s around the time of their game. Any way to rewatch the games?Why is divorce not an option here?
First thing that came to mind :lol

[SPURt]

Will Kai Jones give Wemby the Ostertag treatment?

[Ariel]

I still like Eason. Hell I like a lot of Rockets players. Hopefully that Harden stink continues to slough off.
For all the shameless tanking, Houston made a killing with their non-lottery picks: Sengun (#16 in '21), Eason (#17 in '22) and Whitmore (#20 in '23). I wanted all three... :cry

[Ariel]

Ime going to turn Eason into something good tbh
He's already good and will be better with any half competent coach.

[LeBowen]

If this goes to OT...is there even OT in SL?

Feels like it won't end for another half an hour.

[cutewizard]

Any live feed

[Chinook]

Hell of a game

[emanueldavidginobili]

Sharpe looks good.

[Rosewood]

Heres to hoping he plays more than 10 minutes.

[cutewizard]

Gimme some Spurs

[ace3g]

Amen down now...

[Joseph Kony]

Wembys going to play like 5 mins now :lol

[SPURt]

Thompson limps off… yikes. That’s two top picks down today

[thiste]

damn amen :(

[SpursWoman]

I hope he isn't as nervous for himself as I am for him - all the hype is nuts. :drunk

Although I remember the hype for Lebron especially was just as nuts.



Damn these guys getting hurt. :(

[cutewizard]

Blessed be

No injuries please

[SpursFan86]

Damn Scoot and Thompson both going down with injuries...maybe we shouldn't bitch when Wemby gets 8 minutes and sits the rest of the game

[kjhip1]

When Whitmore gets an assist, the refs should stop the game and the crowd should give a standing ovation akin to setting an all-time record…

Was thinking the same thing. The whole damn team absent Thompson are chuckers

[PhantomDashCam]

Amen Thomason’s feel for the game has really impressed me today.
Really impressive on-court demeanour and feel.

[Splits]

Can't wait. 4 AM here in Riga it begins....

3am in Switzerland. I'm with ya brotha

[Mr. Body]

Sochan spotting. He will never have played a Summer League game.

[Joseph Kony]

any guesses on Wemby's first bucket? i'm gonna guess a lob from Blake

[scott]

Sochan in the tunnel with the team pre-game. Love to see that.

[Dex]

Goddamn it Portland and Houston, no one is here to see you. Just end the game

[BatManu20]

Cameras are more focused on Wemby in the tunnel than the actual game :lol. This is wild.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

I’m so happy.

[ralph nyc]

This should be good.

[Knoxxx]

Sochan is wearing a nice mauve sweatshirt to match his do.

[baseline bum]

Fuck My wife, wants to go to the movies…. And it’s around the time of their game. Any way to rewatch the games?

Normally I'd take you up on that offer but I wanna see the game too.

[BatManu20]

Jump hook in the paint or a fadeaway J from the post. Something on the block though.

[Dex]

Normally I'd take you up on that offer but I wanna see the game too.

:lmao

[Knoxxx]

Sochan in the tunnel with the team pre-game. Love to see that.

He’s not playing?

[PhantomDashCam]

Does anyone get anxiety watching Wemby’s head and the low ceilings on display?

[Knoxxx]

Come on man STOP FOULING!!!

[Mugen]

Normally I'd take you up on that offer but I wanna see the game too.

:lol

[SpursWoman]

Normally I'd take you up on that offer but I wanna see the game too.

:lol

[NASpurs]

This shit might go to overtime :lol

[BatManu20]

Jesus fuck this game’s never gonna end at this rate. It’s a free throw shooting contest.

[Mr. Body]

Anybody going to watch the Cleveland-Brooklyn game?

[pRoshi]

Can this game end already damn

[jeebus]

Just end this fucking game. No one cares

[spurraider21]

if this game goes to OT i might just kill myself tbh

[Mr. Body]

Gaddamn this is going into OT huh.

[BatManu20]

Fuck this game. And these refs.

[NASpurs]

:lmao :lmao fuck this

[ace3g]

Holy shit c'mon.

[Joseph Kony]

oh my god fuck this game

[timvp]

I hope he isn't as nervous for himself as I am for him - all the hype is nuts. :drunk


:tu

I know it means nothing but feels like a playoff game :lol

[baseline bum]

Jesus fuck this game’s never gonna end at this rate. It’s a free throw shooting contest.

This is like that commercial break after seeing the Spurs get into the top 4 in the lottery

[SpursFan86]

Please overrule this and just end the fucking game tbh. No one cares at this point.

[Dex]

This shit is going to go to overtime, isn't it?

[InRareForm]

Of course this game taking forever. Stop fouling dumbasses

[Knoxxx]

The end of this game is HOT GARBAGE get these bums off the court!!

[LeBowen]

Challenge in SL? Really?

[timvp]

Please no overtime.

[timvp]

"The challenge is unsuccessful, however the challenge is successful."

The hell.

[Dex]

What bugs me about this is our players aren't even going to get a proper warm-up, then have to go out and play.

[NASpurs]

The dude shooting the free throws reminds me of Trevor Ariza

[InRareForm]

These dumbasses keep fouling wtf

[pRoshi]

Sit Wemby! It's a trap!

[NASpurs]

:lmao theyre doing this shit on purpose

No one cares about you bums

[SPURt]

Eason kinda looks like a leaner Quentin Richardson

[baseline bum]

This game ain't gonna start until 8:30 huh?

[Dex]

For fuck's sake, there have been like 20 fouls in the last 2 minutes of this games.

[spurraider21]

all this waiting... this is probably how those people on the Oceangate submarine felt tbh

[NASpurs]

0.1 foul :lol

Not a foul but fuck this.

[BatManu20]

all this waiting... this is probably how those people on the Oceangate submarine felt tbh

:lol

[thiste]

For fuck's sake, there have been like 20 fouls in the last 2 minutes of this games.

They get 10 fouls each :lol

[Knoxxx]

Just shoot me OMFG!

[timvp]

These poverty franchises need to get off the court, tbh.

[heyheymymy]

Warm up act wears out their welcome

[SpursFan86]

You couldn't draw up a more ridiculous and drawn out way for a game to end :lol Holy hell

[BatManu20]

Why even throw a lob there? And then you throw a shitty lob behind the jump-man… smh

[baseline bum]

0.1 foul :lol

Not a foul but fuck this.

Thought that was going to be an inadvertent whistle. Would have been hilarious to see a jumpball at halfcourt with 0.6 seconds.

[ace3g]

lol lol lol

[manufan10]

:wow Did that count?

[BatManu20]

Good. Just glad it’s over

[timvp]

Okay, that was a cool ending.

GTFO.

[SpursFan86]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[NASpurs]

Trevor Ariza :wow

[lefty20]

This shit taking so long that Wemby gonna have to redo his 90 minute warmup now

[baseline bum]

Good now get the fuck off the court

[heyheymymy]

Pretty sick finish wow

[Knoxxx]

We just witnessed the greatest game in SL history! :lol

[spurraider21]

imagine his foot was on the line :lol

[Mr. Body]

Houston Rockets win their third NBA championship.

[BatManu20]

That’s what you get for throwing that stupid-ass lob in the first place moron. Now moving on.

[NASpurs]

Portland is always cursed even in the summer league.

[Chinook]

Incredible. The crowd freaked out. Hell of a game.

[Knoxxx]

Toe on the line it’s a two pointer!

[baseline bum]

So how did Amen Thompson look before this game turned into an abortion?
