His footwork has improved. A couple really nifty moves under the basket this first half.

If the NBA ever adopts the international goaltending rule when the ball's on the rim, it's over for everyone playing Wemby. He's like when the training staff uses noodle arms to contest

Wemby and The Spurs very very lucky with that call
JJ going off his coconut (and he is lucky he didn't get a Tech either tbh)

Another great first half from Luka who is playing like a MVP level player this season i can admit.

Wembys impact on defense wont necessarily show up in the stat sheet, but otherwise a pretty blah game from him. We’ll win if this is what he’s limited to next half.

it was the most obvious block of all time. The one who got lucky was Reddick for not being allowed to waste his challenge.

Operation Get the Ball to Wemby Up High hampered by blind and braindead teammates who pass to his shins when they are not using him as a decoy driving into multiple defenders.

****.

Luka has been by far the best player on the court tonight. Wemby's talent is undeniable but Luka is head and shoulders above him right now. My MVP prediction still looking strong.

I said with the added depth that it wouldn't surprise me if Jokic has a year similar to 22-23(no MVP but ring) and he's already tracking towards that. I easily see him averaging a career high in assists. Don't know what's up with his 3pt shot though because it's been off since the playoffs.

Too many needless fouls called imo. 4 fouls on Luka is a bit concerning for the Lakers. Surely JJ has to give him time on the pine ?
