Stats+Wins= MVP
Wemby blatantly checking out of the game because he got his pushed in on national TV was pretty sad sight..This wild inconsistency in performance is what keeps him a tier below the Jokic/Giannis of the world for now.
He should be ashamed tbh, 2nd season and still not the GOAT... smh
incosistency tbh..only fckn 10pts tonight.
Wemby looked soft as baby tonight. Both physically and mentally. Worst game of his career imo all things considered.
Dude is only 21 years old.of course we can’t compare him yet to guys that are older and in their prime and have actually won les. Hes a long way to go. He did suck tonight though. I hope he can figure it out.
Duncan played like a superstar consistently when he was 21 years old as a rookieDude is only 21 years old.
I’m not making excuses for Wemby but did he ever have a David Robinson next to him in his rookie year? I’m not even arguing the criticisms against Wemby but complaining that he isn’t on the level of Giannis and Jokic is too premature, imo.
Would be nice if coach tried to get him a few touches closer to the basket. Mitch Johnson seems to have canned that weakside screen action that would usually get him a deep touch.
We watched nearly 20 years Duncan ball. Timmy struggled and had his off nights, but never played soft. He attacked the rack when the shots didn't fall to get himself going..Wemby 0 FTs tonight more or less encapsulates a worrying, recurring tendency of him shrinking in the face of game-planned physical defense..
Again, I’m not arguing against this. I’m also starting to believe this is just his limitation as a player. I hope he figures it out. But I would love for him to play with teammates where his second banana isn’t a 40 year old Chris Paul or a role player level Vassell before I start saying he’s not on the level of guys that are already in their prime.
Not going to lie, man, i'm kinda slightly worried about these early bad habits/instincts. Just sucks Spurs don't have prime Pop to help him through these growing pains. We really need to hit on our next head coach and it would also help if Duncan takes him under his wing next offseason
Yeah that’s exactly my whole point to this is that Wemby is surrounded by a content organization. Duncan had Pop before he went all “it’s just basketball” mode and getting mad at fans for booing opposing players. His teammates aren’t winning players except Chris Paul who is like 40 now. They’ve been more concerned about getting high character guys in the locker room but the problem is you need players that can win you games on the court.
Duncan was also just a different specimen in terms of work ethic. There’s none of that to rub off onto these players.
This is why the Spurs need to make playoffs even as a low seed so Wemby gets a taste of post-season defensive intensity. Lebron/Luka got there quickly with of non-contending teams and the early playoffs experience most certainly helped both down the road.
Anyone who thinks Wemby is soft is a ing moron and no one should waste time in a conversation with them tbqh.
Wembanyama isn’t soft but he clearly had a soft game. That is fine to point that out. DRob had plenty of soft games but was still a HOF player. Give him time.
wemby had cp3 now in his 2nd season.. a player cannot affect a certain player performance..the only difference of tmmy ti wemby is that timmy isnt soft and has a high basketball IQ than wemby
It's just amazing how can people even think of such awful takes.
LeBron didnt make the palyoffs until his 3rd season
21 y/o Victor is better on pretty much every aspect other than rebounding that 21 or even 22 y/o Tim. Besides you talk about consistency like Tim never had bad games, below 10 pts on an awful efficiency for instance during his rookie and sop re years
Not sure how old you are but I'm pretty sure we would have thrown same kind of in 98/99 comparing Tim to David.
Tim had a 5 pts game at 22 y/o against the ing raptors in 99, game lost by the Spurs by 2 pts... "inconsistency tbh... only 5 ing points that night"... we have seen how inconsistent has been in his career
but timmy was a all nba 1st team selection as rookie(21 years old). Let see if wemby can achieve that feat in his sop re year. Also wemby doent have post up game, turnover prone and low basketball IQ so he’s not better on all aspect. If wemby has the basketball IQ of timmy im sure spurs have a better record and wemby might be top mvp candidate.
