Victor Wembanyama 35/5/1/2 13-21 FG, 5-6 3P, 33 MIN, he had the most points in a playoff debut in Spurs history

Stephon Castle 17/7/7 4-13 FG, 8-8 FT, not a great game for him but still the first Spurs guard getting 15/5/5 in playoff since Tony Parker

wemby dropping 35 in 33 mins in his FIRST playoff game is insane, dude’s ceiling is stupid high. castle numbers look way better than the game probably felt, but that’s a good sign tbh. spurs might be cooking something earlier than expected.

by the way, were those really the Spurs colors tonight? Why’d I think it was black and gray?

Spurs players arrived wearing black and their official colors are black and grey.

The Teal/pink/orange is a throwback to the 90s Fiesta Spurs court/colorway, and are an homage to the culture of San Antonio and it’s roots and ties to the heritage of the city and it’s location close to Mexico.

Adding to what’s been said: Spurs colors are black and silver (not gray)

In my honest opinion if these two guys are healthy and playing the spurs should never lose another game until they are out of their primes. It’s like they have the 2021 championship bucks core with 2 players, wemby is Giannis + lopez and castle is jrue.

Fun fact, Castle’s game tonight with his 31/20/100 shooting splits was still more efficient than any of Jrue’s three playoff runs with us, and would be the 15th most efficient of his 40 individual playoff games.

2021 Giannis was still better than current Wemby IMO but not by a lot and the rest of that team is already as good as our core.

2021 Giannis was an unstoppable force. It’s hard to compare Wemby with any other player because his defense is game breaking, but offensively that year’s Giannis was just different.

That said, Wemby has had a few stretches where he looks like that version of Giannis + KD on offense. Any time he’s on the floor, there’s a chance he just switches into god mode. Thinking of his bursts against Dallas to start this season or his 17 points in 3 minutes as a rookie.

Giannis is one of my favorite players and his run was incredible and I genuinely teared up after he won, but it’s not close current wemby is way better than 2021 Giannis and 2021 lopez combined.

Combined? Yeah that is unhinged man. That’s pretty comfortably the greatest peak of all time, Wemby is definitely not at that point.

Hes beyond that point, in my eyes he’s already the goat by far (talent wise). If he doesn’t win 90% of his games plus at least 4 MVPs, 5 dpoys, and 6 championships, his career is a disappointment.

What youre saying isn’t even realistic. You are saying he should win at least 73 games every season since 90% out of 81 games is 73.8? 6 championships would be tough in the current era but I’d be ecstatic if he brought home 3-4 titles.

Giannis dropped 50 with 5 blocks in game 6 of the finals to win the title. Wemby is not there yet.

They also had prime Middleton, and Bud had playoff and championship exp under Pop. This Spurs team is still young but I feel like if Harper, Vasell, Keldon, Champagnie further develop, they’re gonna be constant playoff contenders. But this is their 1st playoff run so my expectation is this is a good learning exp.

Wemby already looks like a playoff cheat code and Castle just needs reps, that combo is scary fast
Still way too early for dynasty talk though, let it breathe

I didn’t even realize Wemb had that many points till they brought it up in the 4th. He had the quietest 35 I’ve ever seen. I legit thought he was going to have a low point night.

mvhcmaniac | Spurs

It was cause he didn’t score in the 3rd and was quiet to start. He had three separate little eruptions that you could have missed if you stepped away at the wrong time.

spurs actually have a huge chance in the finals, if they get past the nuggets or thunder, the regular season is volatile, while jokic clearly had the upper hand, it maybe a repeat of the 2022 playoffs, and while they dominated the thunder 4-1 this season, they just came off a championship and experience is something else
