I’m still skeptical, but definitely think we’ll be far better than the Portland and Detroits of the world. It’ll be more of a “learning to play together” thing (especially on D) than anything else. There a good pieces on this team.
The camera loves him, but he doesn't love the camera (meaning he's not an attention ). The perfect combination.

The Spurs still do not defend the 3point line and are not rebounding. Wemby is awesome, but this team is not sniffing .500. Its just not happening with super young teams like this.
Still I will not miss one game this season
Miami made 15 3pts and was held to 31.9% 3pt as a team.The Spurs still do not defend the 3point line and are not rebounding. Wemby is awesome, but this team is not sniffing .500. Its just not happening with super young teams like this.

Lakers made 16 3pts and shot 44.4 against the warriors
warriors made 17 3pts on 41.5%
Pelicans made 15 3pts and shot 38.5% against the hawks, they did hold the Hawks to just 9 3pts but still lost showing that defending 3’s isnt everything
Twolves made 21 3pts on 41.7% against the knicks
Knicks made 13 on 36.1%
Portland made 16 on 38.1 against jazz
Jazz made 15 on 51.7%
Seems to me they were a top 2 team in defending 3’s these last two nights… so it doesn’t appear your assessment is correct.
Wemby is good
I appreciate you for bringing up numbers - thanks for that. But for playing against a bunch of scrubs who have a of a pressure to make a team, I am not fully convinced we can call this top defense.
I expected a response like that. You can turn that logic around and say to yourself that if I presented to you data that supported your original assumption as correct, if you would say in your response here the same thing— that since the team the Spurs were facing was not the ordinary team, would you say it proves your point the that the team is bad? Do you catch my drift here? You’re saying right now that the data is unreliable because of the compe ion… would you say the same thing if you were originally right?
This is a grade-2 Miami Heat team; bring in Butler and the team that romped into 22-23 Finals; the percentage will be much higher.
For sure. I still remember watching the lottery thinking the only outcome that wouldn't be soul crushing as a Spurs fan was getting #1. And they got ing #1.
bassey just looks healthier so far and angry. i think sochan was just very rusty, tre was nice off the bench. wesley is trying. i sure would love to see the rotation get in one game together before the season starts. and wemby haters have to be besides themselves right now. lol
Butler is a ty 3 point shooter. Bad argument.
imagine having gotten Scoot or Thompson, thinking wow this guy is showing some glimpses, considering the nice long term fits alongside vassell, keldon, sochan, etc
and then flipping the channel and seeing wemby do this for the pistons or something
some rockets fan are still trying to pretend that thompson is the better of the two and hoping against all hope that wemby will get injured. other rockets fans are just accepting the fact that they spent an entire year praying for wemby and wound up with an amen.
there is not a single person in the world that thinks Amen is better than Wemby at this point. You don't even have to be a basketball fan to realize that, literally just look at the 7'5" freak of nature doing basketball things and you're going be like "yeah, that guy is better"
And I'm pretty ing high on Amen Thompson
Rockets fans are praying like for wemby to get injured in five years. Its fascinating
I'm curious to see how the Thompson twins go. I've been down on them, or at least thinking they'll take a long time to develop, but I believe they may be more at heart true basketball players than a Jalen Green type who is out there only trying to score. They both have good coaches -- Udoka, Monty Williams -- but kind of misfit teammates. I can see them get forgotten about other than some highlight plays and then pop onto the radar again in 3-4 years. I don't think OTE did them any favors.
Scoot will have all the run he wants in Portland; he's barely the only worthwhile player on that roster. Jerami Grant is empty stats, Brodgan should get traded, Simons is empty stats. Sharpe is a supreme offensive talent who will fill the stat sheet but will be... empty stats. He's also the laziest, worst defender I've seen since those videos of Harden. Swipe lazily at a fast break and just watch as the player blows by. Anyway, Scoot is a fighter and will be good, but not the generational talent some were saying and this roster -- and coach Billips -- won't be scaring anyone for a long time.

there are a few on the thread posted below, including one buffoon who claims he would take amen over wemby any day of the weekbut most rockets fans acknowledge that they lost out.

Nah I take Amen all day everyday, swear to God if Spurs offered me Wemby for Amen straight up I'd still take Amen . Amen is as much of a unicorn at the pg spot as Wemby at the PF spot, except he doesn't come with injury concerns. Wemby is 7'3 so what? Amen is 6'7 pg with top 5% athleticism. Just look at that photo of Amen vs Scoot tell me Amen is a poor consolation prize lmao.
Teams are going to guard Jeremy with a forward, and Sochan isn't Ben Simmons -- he doesn't have guard agility and burst. A team will be able to get away with putting their SF on him, their PF and C on Collins and Wemby and their guards on Vassell and (I assume) Johnson.
Johnson has the strength to abuse most guards in the post.... With sochan and wemby being adept distribution options having Johnson posting a guard is a quick two point with a high chance for an &1.
Which guard on most teams is going to check keldon if you put their better defender on vassal?
Great he can get his shot whenever he wants.

they haven’t played 1 game yet together with their full rotation, so none of what you say is founded.
the guy who shoots in the low 30%? Uh ok
Butler and Adebayo in the team will easily beat this Wemby's Spurs..
Spurs without Wemby split with the Heat last year and now with him you think they'll automatically lose both?
