    for sure he was not boxing out enough yesterday, a lot of offensive boards could have been avoided. That's on the coach or the PG to see this and yell at him and the others for not doing it.

    Did Spurs ever specify the illness / allergies? Is it Cedar fever, or prolonged flu, or something else? Cedar fever should be ok by now if he hasn't been in central TX for a bit.

    Wemby clearly still isn't 100% healthy but we still need more from him offensively. 1-9 rom 3 ain't gonna cut it. He's also not the reason we lost last night. Hopefully he plays better tonight in Orlando on a quick turnaround.

    Dude had 5 blocks including a huge one that preceded/allowed Fox giving us the lead...

    He had a bad game but is far from the reason we lost bro

    I just think that when you're exhausted everything is harder and this roster makes things even worse. He's just learning and getting his body used to NBA season and being the main target every game.

    This period highlights to me how much of a cheat code he is bc this roster has no business having 22 wins

    Making these little BS excuses for his occasional lack of effort doesn't help anybody tbh.

    Vic has the highest ceiling of anybody in NBA history.

    By all accounts, he wants that responsibility and he wants that smoke. And with that smoke comes accountability.

    I think he'll turn it around towards the end of the season but he deserves criticism for his crappy play since Christmas and I'm not excusing that because of some sniffles. This is his team and he needs to be held accountable.
    "crappy" play. Y'all are ing unreal man. The fact that a 2nd year player at the age of 21 isn't putting up MVP level stats on a team where they can easily collapse onto him isn't crappy. NBA teams are going to adapt to him and he'll adapt as well but there will be learning involved.

    Wemby in Jan averaged over 4 bpg, over 1 stpg, 13 bpg , 22 ppg and 3 apg. Crappy? Mugen i get that you're a miserable that will always complain but JFC man I didn't think this schtick would be extended to a player like Wemby. At least your consistent I guess.

    Y'all don't deserve Wemby.

    Asking your generational franchise player to shoot better than 35% against Moussa Diabate is asking for too much I guess. tbh.

    I would say you are dumb as a door knob but that would be unkind. It would be kinder to observe that you don't know what you are talking about, obviously. I had to get three sinus surgeries over allergies once they became debilitating to the point of constant severe sinus infections. That included an initial deviated septum surgery, which takes a month at least to recover from. Imagine blowing your nose constantly with large bloody snot chunks coming out, bad headache most of the time, you will start getting the idea. Then it was the polyps and return of the severe sinus infections. A sinus infection is not just nasal, those cavities are all up in your forehead also. When the infections are chronic, you are left with black horrific crud that will show on xrays along the lines of toxic waste. When you fly on an airplane, no migraine will do justice to the severe ripping pain in your head as the plane descends. But you are not allowed to scream on an airplane, you just have to put your head down close your eyes, grind your teeth, whatever you can to cope with the pain.

    After the 3 sinus surgeries, it was on to the allergy shots. Which I took for at least 3 years, they lied to me on the front end to get me to stay with the program. Which was actually free if you do the shots, have to go in every week, I think they even had me going in twice per week at first. Then its weekly, every two weeks, monthly, but all this occurs over a very slow time period. Like I said the shots were free with insurance, but the drops you can take yourself are not covered and are expensive due to not being FDA approved or some such.

    Now I do a lot better after the shots, they worked for me. The new ENT doctor wanted to burn off my turbinates to get more clearance in my nostrils as I was checking out after the 3+ years of shots. I told him nah, I was doing pretty good we could always do that later. Now I do fine except I do have to hit mainly just one nostril occasionally with Afrin spray due to it being more prone to congestion.

    I also recall that once when I hurt my back and could only sit upright in a chair, my mother in law thought it was fake, that I could barely move without having a severe pain twinge, since she had never had back trouble. Then her daughter had to be hospitalized and in bed for days over a back injury. Then her husband hurt back. Then eventually she had a back problem. Finally she understood fully how debilitating back pain can be.

    Someone at work told me, being I was sick with sinuses all the time, "get it fixed." This was excellent advice, and what Wemby needs to do. He needs to get tested, then they formulate the treatment. He does not have to do shots, he can just do drops on his tongue. He needs to get it fixed, so that it does not kick his ass in the middle of the season. It can cost you sleep and throw you way more off kilter than you understand.

    Every allergist in San Antonio should be required to submit their proposals to One Spurs Way (or whatever their address is these days) by close of business Monday. Should be a Mayoral proclamation and City Counsel Resolution on it already, tbh.

    You know who's not on the sniff crew? Wemby. Can't smell (allergies).

    (Sorry, couldn't resist)

    There's tests to check for environmental allergies, the equipped PCP will have the ability to order geographic specific allergy tests (these tests sometimes will include food allergy/sensitivities). There's additional testing that can assess immune system reaction as it pertains to these body allergy reactions (they will include inflammatory markers amongst other markers). Wemby's doctor (or if its the Spurs head attending) needs to assess for this if it already hasn't. There's other assessments that are ordered by pulm specialists that can assess lung function and if baseline lung function improves with treatment...sometimes the lung function can undergo transitory deconditioning with even basic URI's.

    Who is to say these haven't already been performed...

    There is really no secret to this ish : you go as far as your best player goes, and Wembanyama has been a confused softie for the month or so resulting in the team essentially bowing out of the play-in.

    Barring a drastic change, you can safely say that Doncic had a superior sop re season to Wemby's leading a similarly talented Mavs to the playoffs and a tough first round loss.

    There is no question that Doncic was better in his second year than Wemby. Until he gains some weight to establish position in the paint, I don't think that we'll see much improvement offensively. His offense depends if his 3-point is falling and right now it is not good.

    Well there were certainly 2 rebounds in crunchtime he could’ve secured, but he decided to sleepwalk towards the ball…

    How about lebron’s sop re season compare to wemby? Lebron is the one who is compared to wemby.

    so far i think lebron’s individual performace is better than wemby on their sop re season. Wemby’s sophomerr season isnt over yet. So maybe he will get better after the allstar break.

    I think its better for him if he play like dirk or lma. Midrange is better than taking so many 3’s

    Generational talent.

    The fact that the only time he's shown compe ive fire and effort in the last 6 weeks was in Paris is pretty telling IMO.

    Wemby is 21 years old and in his second year. There’s some valid criticism in this thread and he has many flaws to address before winning a ring, but expecting him to have this all figured out now is literally insane.

    Luka is not the only measuring stick. I won’t even pull up Jokic/Giannis numbers from their second year because Wemby’s are significantly, objectively better. There are many paths to greatness and Wemby’s being different from Luka’s doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t be great.

    If Wemby registering the worst +/- (-14) on this team in 1-point loss doesn't alarm you, guess nothing will

    Wouldn't be surprised if he packs it in once he hits the 65 game mark and has his DPOY.

    Gotta get ready for international play this summer tbh.
