October 10, 20232 yr For all of Blake Wesley’s faults on offense, that dude plays his ass off on defense. Multiple times last night (and in previous games) he created turnovers and disrupted the hell out of whatever side of the court he inhabited. The Spurs will not be the worst defensive team in NBA history this season (more due to Wemby, Sochan, Vassell, than to Blake but whatever). Edited October 10, 20232 yr by Kermit
October 10, 20232 yr Didn't know how to get around the NBA TV blackout so I have only seen a few highlights. I have tickets to the Heat game on Friday and I am stoked to watch Wemby in person.

I like the versatility if he's going to be a defensive stopper against the 2nd teams. I feel like Sochan will be used along with the bench a lot, so if Wesley can step up and help slow down whoever the opponent's sparkplug off the bench is, it'll make us a lot stronger. Looking forward to Friday and see if Wemby gets above 20 minutes. And Sir'Jabari too.
October 13, 20232 yr Spurs / Heat tonight on TNT. LOL, check out the Heat injury report: https://www.espn.com/nba/team/injuries/_/name/mia/miami-heat They are resting every single player in their regular rotation, except Duncan Robinson. 9 guys, total. I hope Jimmy Butler recovers from his dental procedure. Thoughts and prayers. I'm sure TNT is stoked. What is the point of them even playing the game? How does this benefit either team?

October 14, 20232 yr The eurostep to the middle and a dunk to finish it. How. At that size. We're whooping everybody's ass once this team learns to play with each other and play defense.
October 14, 20232 yr This is a joke, right? Photoshopped for sure Edited October 14, 20232 yr by Mitch Cumsteen

October 14, 20232 yr Just now, Welch said: Back to back to back if we include Primo! The front office was a little exposed on that pick.
October 14, 20232 yr That was the most basketball I've watched in a while. They really need a slasher to play pick and roll with Wemby. If they find a guard that can finish at the rim this team could be really good. You can see some flashes here and there. They share the ball well. There was really good ball movement at times as well. There were too many jacked up 3's for me, but I suppose the game as just really changed since in the years I haven't watched.

October 14, 20232 yr I watched some of Wemby highlights on replay a few times last night and my brain still can't fully process what I'm seeing out there.
October 14, 20232 yr Made the trek down to SA in Friday rush hour traffic and Wemby did not disappoint. Our seats were towards the end of the court where did the Euro step dunk and caught the sick lob from Sochan. Seeing him work in person is pretty incredible. He’s a human cheat code. We’ve got tickets to the season opener and that place is going to be electric. GSG!
October 15, 20232 yr I heard the sun got totally blocked for a while in San Antonio today. I assume Wemby was practicing outside.
October 15, 20232 yr I strayed away from watching the Spurs much the last two years since they were dumping in preparation for rebuilding. I tuned in early last week to see what’s been assembled. What a young, strange roster. It was entertaining to watch Wemby. I’m not quite sure what I was seeing. Is it a roster that’s going to grow up together and in year 3 contend for a title? Or, is it a half assembled roster that needs to ship out a few young guys in exchange for a veteran point guard and strong scorer? I can’t get a sense on the plan.

October 15, 20232 yr OK so I live in the Austin area. Is NBA LP still fucked up where even if you pay the $100/yr you can't watch every game due to some bullshit blackout rules? If so what do you do when a game isn't on TNT/ESPN, I guess it's on Bally but blacked out? I don't get Bally as part of YTTV.

Yes, you either have to pirate it or subscribe to Bally's subscription which I do for Spurs and Stars games.
October 15, 20232 yr PSA: No wemby tomorrow v Houston. A little surprised they are resting him at home but preseason, whatever. Feel bad for any folks shelling out in hopes of seeing him.
October 15, 20232 yr I'd sit him the rest of preseason. He's shown what he can do. No reason to have him play anymore unless it means something.

There's quite a few Kens5 games and a few CW games but most are Ballys or national The Ballys app has replays for a few days if you miss a game can catch it later.

October 16, 20232 yr Last year, any games that were on the SA channels were available in the Spurs app. Now, did it work? No. The Kens 5 games were blacked out. The CW games would show, though.

They weren't dumping as much as stockpiling, and I'm high on Vassell and Sochan. Keldon Johnson will play a huge part too (but I agree with some that he may be a biiit more expendable) and I'm excited to see how much they all grow together. Zach Collins still has potential for improvement too, and I like him at the 5. He'll be playing to cement himself as the long-term option after this year. The more I watch Wemby, the more I wonder if we'll still be pining for a veteran scoring option after the all-star break this year. He might be the go-to scoring option to close out games before we can even sign or entertain another #1 scoring option. Vassell might get there as well, I'm expecting a huge jump from him.

October 17, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Kermit said: This Sochan point guard experiment is making my eyes bleed. Yeah... it seems that they are serious about this position-less basketball thing. With apologies to Tre Jones, I suppose it makes the decision to not play with a true point guard a lot easier when you don't have a true point guard. I'm pretty much chalking this entire season up as a giant basketball experiment. It certainly revolves around Wemby, but it extends to everything and everyone else, too. The only things that they do seem committed to are playing fast as shit and not having Wemby bang around with dudes who outweigh him by 50 pounds. Everything else it seems is in play, with Pop in full mad scientist mode trying to figure out who is a long term fit going forward.
October 19, 20232 yr For the second time ever, I'm about to watch a fucking preseason game. The first time was the other night against the Heat. The Wemby Effect is real. EDIT: This violin Star-Spangled Banner is pretty cool. Nice wrinkle. As the son of a concert violinist, I gotta add, this kid's got chops, too. Edited October 19, 20232 yr by Braff Zacklin
