Game Thread: Trailblazers @ Spurs 7PM CST - Nov. 7, 2024

I’m not worried about Wemby not taking as much shots as long as the others are picking up the slack. Wemby like any great player can contribute in some other ways. The others playing great will keep off some pressure and will only make things easier for Wemby.

nah, he wont make the allstar team and allnba team if he countinue to play like this

victor wembrick

[Frenchfred]

- He's still only 20 (MJ was a junior in college)
- Teams clearly are game planning for him with Houston having shown the blue-print = he'll need to adapt, but maybe could we leave him more than 6-7 games for that?
- This roster is the same that was for every observer the worst in terms of passing abilities and overall BBIQ, did some expect them to suddendly become diff players?
- At least Pop was passing some message during timeouts, Mitch dgaf clearly or doesn't know how
- P&R is kinda big deal when you have a 7'5 guy to play on offense, especially if he can't post up (you bet he shoots all the time...)

- Durant was also 20 in his second year and had clearly improved on his second year.
- We can leave him as many games as he wants, it's not like we can do anything anyway
- I didn't have high expectations for the team this year and said that we'll be a lottery team, which is fine when we see the draft this year
- I agree with the P&R and I would say that Wemby's screens are not the best screens

[Raven]

wemby putting effort on d, but you can really see how tired he is

[Leetonidas]

Victor's shot is completely broken

[100%duncan]

Idk which is more broken Vic’s shot or his stamina

[gambit1990]

wembrick is 1 for 4 from the three. at least that's better than his three point percentage for the season.

nah, he wont make the allstar team and allnba team if he countinue to play like this

And did he continue to play like this last year? No. He just seems like a slow starter.

[itzsoweezee]

Last year he had the exact same issue from game to game

Just look at Champ or KJ in paticular...

We don’t need to make things up. Just look at the data. His rebounding rate is way down this year and it’s only going to worse after this stinker of a game from him

[John B]

Dude is averaging better than last year except 3pt percentage. Look it up.

[skin27]

And did he continue to play like this last year? No. He just seems like a slow starter.

You have to compare it on how he played at the end of last season.

[NASpurs]

Looks like Gobert was giving Wemby shooting tips during the summer.

[Strategic]

Spurs looking pretty good playing against scrubs. Let’s see if they can finish it.

[NASpurs]

And did he continue to play like this last year? No. He just seems like a slow starter.

He also had incentives as he was clearly playing for the ROTY.

- If u want to compare, compare the whole picture, offense and defense (where in that area he's a monster already with the energy expenditure it requires, let's not forget this important detail . Wemby's rookie floor is higher than KD's as well and both had/have very diff roster and need (Wemby needs assisting and spacing, we know it since day1, KD is an iso player who can go 1vs1 anytime.

- I was dead wrong on cp3 and just opened my eyes today, didn't realise that the PG doing the P&R needs the juice to penetrate and go to contact all the time and you just can't do it at 40. Just look at his play now, he's a B on the perimetter and 3pt shooter... He makes me regret Tre and that says a lot
Cp also took away the playmaking part of Wemby's game that allowed him to create a lot of space.

- Wemby sucks at it, let's not be shy haha, but you need to practice to get better at something, I've maybe seen 10 tries in 7 games between cp and vic... insane when it was my main expectation

[100%duncan]

Castle is a hooper thankfully

[exstatic]

No you don’t. Some guy’s just have to shake off the rust at the beginning of the season.

[poopbox]

How is that not an offensive foul on Grant? He slowed down to shove Julian with his off arm.

[exstatic]

After like, what, nine games, Castle >>> Scoot, who’s entering his second season.

[LeBowen]

Castle's best game so far.

[Raven]

so much better when he plays the point, like it is not even remotely close

[Spurs Brazil]

Castle!!!

[NASpurs]

Castle's best game so far.

Time for a two for one trade, Tre + Keldon (Collins) for someone.

[heyheymymy]

lol Paul knows all about how weak and soft Ayton is
