How, I have no idea, but its obvious.

Bulls fans have been begging for a rim running vertical C in place of Vucevic for years, believe me.

I would see if you can pry Claxton out of Brooklyn.

Jarrett Allen a watch too if the Cavs struggle.

Devin Booker flopping all over the place. Ridiculous. Wemby with 4 fouls to start the 2nd Half.

These suns homecourt refs are making it unwatchable. I would walk out the stadium right now if I were Wemby

It's as if we can't get Wemby the ball up high at the arc. When we haven't tried.

Stephen Castle has totally lost control the last couple game. He might mess around and get traded

Never realized what a massive flopper/foul-baiter Devin Booker is. Dude is insufferable.

Refs ending the 5-0 Spur/Bulls reign of terror. It was good while it lasted.

With any luck you guys can pull it out

Wemby's whistle has been bad tonight but the Spurs definitely still bare most of the responsibility for this L. They predictably didn't show up ready to play at all. Wemby getting in foul trouble early killed any rhythm he might've had and the rest of our guys can't throw it in the ocean tonight while PHX literally can't miss (11/15 from 3 in the first half is Nast work). Fun while it lasted indeed.

he got overhyped for winning ROY in an extremely weak rookie class. If he was drafted this year he wouldnt be top 5 in his class

I can’t believe I’m watching a game with Bismack Biyombo, Nick Richards and Mark Williams all playing actual roles in 2025. Somebody pinch me (and Mitch Kupchak)

No, seriously you guys be saying some crazy stuff. Are you watching these games?

Here are his stats coming into tonight:

18.8ppg, 6.0rpg, 5.4 apg, 1.8 spg, 5.4 tpg (this needs to come way down, but it will when Fox gets back)
53% from the field
33% from 3
60% from the line

Now, he's definitely got room for improvement, but the improvement he's made is beyond noticeable. Most importantly, he takes the toughest assignment on the perimeter night/after night. No team's best perimeter scorer (and again this will change when Fox gets back) is asked to guard the other team's best scorer during the regular season like Castle.

Gotta add embiid to that list so everyone wont think only guards that shamelessly foul baits..

P.S. there a guy called SGA that fits to the t as well
