Flagg being started at PG is just a dumb gimmick from Kidd, which I'm not surprised by. Just let the kid play a normal role at his normal position and let him settle in.

Based off a single game?! Of course not.

Flagg is looking horrible out there. I wouldn't put too much stock into it though. He started slow in college as well

That dunk by Wemby made up for the Celtics loss, props to Philly fans, Maxey and Edgecombe are going to be very hard to stop.

Just not enough superlatives for Wemby though. Spurs fans are truly blessed

Our young guards not being able to shoot FTs or jumpshots is a bit concerning

I had much higher expectations for this Mavericks team. Hard to tell if the Spurs are making a leap or if the Mavericks just look old and dysfunctional.

I think there's definitely a debate between Chet and Paolo.

If OKC somehow had Wemby, they could win 80 games if they went for it.

Swap places and Wemby might challenge Bill Russell for rings lol what a weak argument.

There was a particularly irritating poster who would keep calling him "Wembrickyama" in every thread in order to prop up Chet. Players fans are often strange individuals.
