[Highlight] - Wemby is totally dominant as Spurs win 8th straight.
He’s scary good already
Indeed.
Man wemby ain’t got no problems only answers
When he plays bad teams, he plays like he is disgusted by them, like they are a disgrace.
in this case, they are
The stats don’t do justice to his performance in this game.
He pretty much just did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.
Went 10⁄15 from 2
He abused those Kings
His stats never does. His stats dont show that they need to be 2 guys to defend him, so he open up for his team to attack. When he is in defence they need also to adapt a different strategy and play further away
Defenses hack him and are allowed to rough him up, because that’s the only way to defend him and have a chance. Constant double teams and different help defender.
Absolutely, one can say that he doesn’t have eye popping stats and it’s true, yet his sole presence alters the gameplan of the opposing team. Reminds me a bit of the Shaq days where teams would sign a random 7 footer just to hack him. Wemby IS the mvp.
it’s the Kings man
What do you want him to do? Not score the points?
Don’t see the point in glazing players for putting belt to ass on the worst team in the league
Why are you here then?
To enjoy basketball that isn’t a good team committing a mercy killing on a blatantly tanking team
Ok but why are you here on this post? Maybe have a look at some of those other posts, champ
What if I told you there are other threads you could visit then?
I’ve done that too
Let me guess a Thunder fan 🙄
I highly doubt it’s going to happen (especially since Victor is probably not gonna play 65 games), but if both Jokic d SGA are out of the MVP race because of games played, what are the arguments in favor of Cade over Wemby for MVP ?
Similar PPG with less minutes, better efficiency, game breaking defense, similar team record. Only real difference is that Cade is a better playmaker, but imo it’s not enough to overcame the massive gap in defense
Wemby has made up a lot of ground towards his 65 games. It’s a lot closer to 50⁄50 right now. He is aware of the games he needs and hasn’t sat out since early January
He can miss 4 games and still has one game where he can play less than 20 minutes.
So honestly I think he can reach 65 games.
If the vote was today Cade gets it due to the number 1 record and how the whole Spurs team is seen to be humming along even without Wemby.
The Monday Spurs-Pistons game will be MVP defining in my view and could even be a Finals preview.
The Spurs team hums along because of Wemby. His gravity on offense opens up cutting lanes and 3s for the guards. On defense his anti gravity at the rim allows perimeter defenders to be aggressive to cause turnovers
I’m a big Wemby fan, but what Cade has done to the Detroit franchise is remarkable. I hope he wins it. Very well deserved.
I am a Spurs fan myself but I respect how Cade plays. And both will be matching up with each other for the first time tomorrow. It will be absolute cinema.
Well the Pistons have the best record in the league right now, and Cade gets a feather in his cap for being the best player on the best team. I think being “the best player on the best team” does give you a boost of prestige.
I don’t think having the best record should matter when it’s a 3 games difference between a first seed an second seed
Especially since Spurs are in the WEST
Nevertheless, only one team finishes with the best record every year.
I think what he’s trying to say is that while Cade would get the nod for leading the team with the best record in the league, Wemby should a bigger nod for having comparable stats with a comparable record, but also being the undisputed DPOY.
Praying he makes the 65-game requirement so he gets all the accolades he deserves 🙏🏼
There are some things that for Cade and some that favor Wemby. OP asked for something that you could mark in Cade’s column and I said he is the best player on the best team.
That’s fair. I suppose its pretty subjective at this point, as I think most people would more or less agree that they’re on the same level right now.
They wanna give it to chet so bad for some reason but bro gets cooked
Biggest asterisk since Marcus Smart if he does end up getting it, Chet is nowhere near the defender Wemby is.
PREACH BROTHER
MVP
He’s starting to really feel it. Got that groove going. You can tell by his look and play. Young man is grooving!!!!!!! Happy for him…..

No way, Naismith saw it coming. He foretold.
He was John the Baptist (and Wemby is Jesus in this scenario).
Disclaimer: The opponent was the Kangz.
Still impressive though
His first two blocks are literally goaltending….
Why do you hate America?
