This is how idiotic these other organizations are, this is a Superstar from France...Wemby. and the Spurs select a mentor for him. And what does Chris Paul Teach? How to cheat and get disqualified....Thats why Wemby will be coming home after his contract in San Antonio. They have no idea on how to raise and train their all stars to achieve SuperStardom Status.

I can’t help but feeling really bad for Wemby and the Spurs. Blood clot, out for rest of season?

Damn.

And no, this is not CP3 karma, just really bad for basketball. I hope he comes back next season and has a healthy fruitful career after that because his presence will push the league into a higher level of excellence. Get well, Wemby!

Hope Wemby can make a full recovery... blood clots are no joke I always get "hypochondriac"ed whenever people talk about it or someone affected by it. It is absolutely life-threatening and can put one in a heartattack situation or even a major stroke. Please take care.

We did man we did.

Can we sustain this 2seed??

It is going to be really rough. One loss will catapult us back down to 4th or even 5th seed.

If we can keep up 2 seed amidst this really tough home stretch of games, it should be a really good indicator on our ability to go to the finals.

There is a good chance Dallas trades AD this summer now that Kyrie is going to be out all next season. There is no incentive for AD or the team to stay in Dallas.
I say they trade him to Phoenix for Durant.

That would unleash torches and pitch forks. The basketball arena would burn down if they dumped AD.

Nico will trade him back to the Lakers for Hayes or some other scrubs.

I rather have Hayes at this point than AD. Maybe a second unit lead by AD? Hayes fits more into this team than AD does.

Quick feet. He’s checking many more boxes than I ever thought he could. I love how good a perimeter defender he is when switching onto smalls.

How did we lose to the nets? We gotta do better.

wco81 · Post #214 » by **wco81** » Tue Mar 11, 2025 2:51 am

Hmm Reaves got 11 FTAs but otherwise shot 3-17, Luka 8-26. Knecht and Vincent were the shooting stars. Lakers almost 50% on 3s, 19-40.

But Nets went to the line (though they shot poorly) 30 times. Apparently Luka thought he should have gone to the line more than 4 times.

Need to get players healthy again.

Jerico Sims is playing well.

Boston celtics being bought out by a private equity firm.

going to be a VERY interesting situation to look at the next few years.

I am CERTAIN, they are there to run them into the ground, and squeeze out all profits, and jet.
That is the ONLY purpose of a private equity firm. period.

I've been watching ADs comeback. He looked solid off of injury. Like the Mavericks look full of confidence with him in there

I want to not face the Mavs in the playoffs, even with Flat Earth being out. They will be a defense powerhouse, and they can score, too.

Sims, Rollins, Black are three role players in the NBA that I’d like us to go after.

I'm hoping to get to root for them through a 1st round or play in victory. I do also think had all their bigs and Kyrie been healthy they are built for playoff ball. Max is willing to run through a wall to play good D and not afraid of a big shot, as well. Good for the kid.
