Yeah, to be honest, I didn't expect Wemby to be so quick and strong, he's literally going at AD off the dribble with ease and Davis can't do anything about it.

You need your FO to call into the league office and prepare them for Draymond. You know he is gonna try to hurt him when they play the Warriors. That dude is gonna get clowned on and get extra spicy with the "natural motions"

Its one thing if Wemby is doing this against scrub bigs but he's dominating Mr All-Defense and Lively.

I said he is a comet. You aren't going to see it ever again. What else could you expect from a player? He is god damn 7'5" and has elite guard skills as a Center.

That said, it's one game, so we'll see.


this is not fluky at all though. he finally figured out that he can just go right thru people. if AD and Lively cant stop him then who can?

Zubac is the only guy I can think of that is big enough and strong enough to hold his own against him. Zu is a bruiser.

The issue is that Wemby can shoot like KD.

21 field goal attempts, only 2 3's. Excellent, Victor. Excellent.

Everytime I watch Wemby I feel like I'm hallucinating. What is reality ?

It's getting harder and harder to not overreact on this Spurs team as this game goes by.

That was so impressive and I'm looking forward to see if they can be consistent in the upcoming games.

Who has Draymond hurt?
