The Spurs are just flat out deep. At this point, Wemby dropping 30 or 40 feels like a bonus because his teammates can carry the scoring load when he has an off night.

The wild part is Wemby’s value doesn’t dip when the shots aren’t falling. His presence on defense is still straight up demoralizing for opponents.

Raptors game as the clear example of it.

he was horrible on offense and yet so good on defense that the Raptors only attempted 16 shots at the rim and literally had a gameplan of taking mid range shots instead.

Lol funny thing is that in the first game we had against the Spurs this season, we did the same thing - spam middies and completely stopped driving.

That was the first time I suspected he wouldn’t get the block streak record. If I remember correctly in that game he didn’t have a block until the very end. the raps weren’t going anywhere near the paint because he had 10 blocks on them the last time. Taking garbage shots everywhere just to avoid giving him one

His value definitely dips when he’s not making shots

He goes from MVP caliber to Rudy Gobert

Once he gets offensive consistency he’ll be the undisputed best in the world for a very very long time

I’m not sure Rudy causes defenses to collapse or over help tho. Even when the shots not falling, his offense opens up the floor

SBKSamurai | Spurs

This. Even if he’s not a top 10 offensive player right now he’s being treated as such by defenses which lets everyone else contribute and shows off the deepness of the roster.

Are you trying to argue that Wemby is better than Chet in response to me saying he could be the best in the league

North_Maybe1998

Well there’s no argument that he’s better than Chet that’s a fact. I’m saying it’s better to compare him to Chet over Rudy when he’s having an off night. Because even in his off nights he still has some production on offense or the defense still has to account for him

Old_Supermarket_7575 | Thunder

i totally get why they made the 65 game rule for the big awards; but it’s really gonna rob Wemby of a bunch of big rewards

like i’m pretty try sure he’d win DPOY this year, but he isn’t gonna make the cutoff, and he’s never gonna be an ironman type guy

He can still miss 4 games. and he played 71 in his rookie season. As long as people don’t jump into his legs like Podziemski did earlier in this season, he will be fine lol.

Why? Their last 3 wins he hasn’t done shit. He isn’t above Shai or joker right now. They will win be 15 and wemby will have 11 points. DPOY sure. Offensively he’s not the mvp

BatterseaPS | Cavaliers

33 | 6 hours ago

You don’t have to score a ton to have a big effect on the offense. Now, I don’t think he’s MVP either, but his impact is undeniable on both ends. “Hasn’t done shit” is nonsensical.

My point and only point is that he’s not the mvp. My comment was a little hyperbolic. But so is saying he’s the mvp even if they get the one seed

Lol spurs did it again. Couldnt think of a franchise more deserving of this core and generational talent like Wemby.

As great as Wemby is i could see things going wrong with a less put together organization like the Pels

PranavPVC

It’s so deserving especially given the way our former home-grown franchise corner stone in Kawhi Leonard left us. It looked like we were set for another 15 years of championship contention after Timmy retired because of #2’s ascension. Those pandemic years after the Kawhi trade where Dejounte was our best player were rough.

I remember the days when the spurs were known as the NBA’s old man team because we would always assemble a group of high-iq veterans. We now have one of the youngest rosters in the nba.

Are they still doing the Vikings Skol cheer or was that a one time thing?

Yes they are. I know most americans think it’s a Vikings chant, but that shit has been a staple in europe for decades.

Didn’t know the origin, since MN had been doing it for over a decade and has become pretty iconic in the states I thought it was original. Did some research though and found out the Vikings worked with the Icelandic national team to get their blessing and incorporate the cheer which is pretty cool.

I’ll always think of the Icelandic national football team instead of the Vikings. And even before Iceland started using it, it has origins going back decades in Scandinavian football

I read that it came from a Scottish team in 2013 before coming to Iceland. I don’t have any knowledge of Scandanavian football though, just Wikipedia, do you remember it being around way back in the day? It’s interesting how things start, move around, get popular in other countries/sports etc.

Wikipedia has to be wrong there. I vividly remember doing that chant like 20 years ago here in Hamburg lol. The article say as much “it is believed that” with the only source being a Guardian article.
