OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: FEBRUARY 2024

[Whyachi]

Jalen Williams & SGA combine for 70. Thunder just crushed the Kings.

 

[Whyachi]

Miami cut it to 2 in 4th against Boston. Unfortunately for Heat fans their team bricked some jumpers and couldn't stop Porzingus, Tatum or Brown. Tyler Herro got his stat padding layup, (woohoo!) as the Celtics walk out of Miami without much resistance.

I don't know about crush. The Kings pulled within 8 and a couple minutes to go.

 

[TYDame]

Would love to see this in playoffs, Wolves vs Clippers.

 

[Whyachi]

8 point game! A super competitive hard fought slobberknocker.... We've been watching too much Blazer ball these last 3 years.

 

[Whyachi]

Wemby 10 block triple double. Raptors need losses, outstanding game by Victor.

Wemby 4-5 years from now is going to be an outrageously good player.

 

[blazerkor]

Wemby 4-5 years from now is going to be an outrageously good player.

If he stays healthy he'll be like nothing we've ever seen before. Some kind of Hakeem/Durant hybrid only with more length than Manute.

 

[THE HCP]

Thank you, booger.

Gonna have to send me a link on this one bro.

 

[THE HCP]

What blows my mind is his court vision. Not sure how many assists he averages, but he sets his teammates up so well it’s crazy.

 

[Strenuus]

Gonna have to send me a link on this one bro.

I just say it when someone states anything that was already known/said. Lol. Booger McFarland was notorious for it.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Wonder if one of the teams is Portland?

 

[Cugel]

Wonder if one of the teams is Portland?

He would tell Bronny not to show up to camp if POR drafted him.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Ducks should sign Bronny to an NIL deal and since LeBron didn't go to college he could play for the Ducks too!

The first time Toronto played SA this year I was impressed with Wemby but he played like a greenhorn rookie so I wasn't blown away. He had 20/9r/5b/4a but was a net negative on the court in a loss. Faded in and out of the action.

This game--my goodness. Dominated both ends of the court. Lane intimidation was wild--Raps were bailing out of drives when he wasn't even in the paint. Never looked rushed or out of position. Aside from turning the ball over too much he was spectacular.

Last night he was Kareem and shot 2/4 from three. Like, what the fuck are teams gonna do to handle this man? He's an 80% free throw shooter. He's only averaging 2 fouls per game!

It's like you made a custom rookie in 2K with no weaknesses. And he's 7'4" tall FFS.

As a Blazers fan, I’m like “No worries”. We’ll just keep rebuilding until we get a rookie who can handle him.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah, the only thing that will slow down Wemby are injuries. But I don't think that will happen for a few years. But you never know with 7'4" players.

 

[wizenheimer]

I was a bit skeptical of both Holmgren and Wemby. I wasn't sure they could physically dominate in the NBA nor have the endurance to not get injured. But I'm sure not skeptical of their talent anymore and Wemby is insane

 

[Hoopguru]

So, since we are rebuilding and Wemby is the guy teams will have to go through in a couple years, shouldn't we be looking at a center thats at least 7'2", athletic defender, in the draft? Not sure Ayton can be the guy?
