Jesus **** christ if you want to **** up Wembys development this is how to do it. Firstly who the **** decided tht Wemby should handle the ball anywhere but inside the arc? He has good handles for an Eiffel tower. He doesn't have good handles overall.

Wemby should study melos iso scoring if anything. Melo literally had no wasted movements. Quick and decisive.

Wemby should also train with Hakeem whilst he still can. Seriously wtf is this we're seeing? I DONT WANT TO SEE WEMBY HANDLING THE BALL LIKE A PG. **** hell dude can be unguardable in the midrange. Literally nobody can contest him. But nooooo lets let him slingshot threes that aren't even close.

It should be inside out not the opposite.

Right on cue Reggie says the exact same thing im saying. Inside out is the way.

Looks like Luka got slightly skinnier compared to the playoffs

Probably because the Mavs have been buns. 35% from the field.


Last season, Spurs were bottom five in the league in defense. Even just league average would do them wonders.

They look substantially worse than league average on d tonight.

Say what you want about Klay, I am more confident on him going on a heater than guys like Josh Green, Dante Exum or Derrick Jones, Jr. You still have to respect Klay's offensive capabilities.

Josh green was not a significant out, kidd lost trust in him several times during the playoffs.
Derrick Jones played well on the Mavs. Luka has plenty ppl he can spoon feed, and defensively while he we good/great, the Mavs themselves are a good defensive team. DJJ avg 23mins a game during the reg szn, that's not a significant amount of minutes
