When Victor Wembanyama was not cleared by the NBA to play ahead of Game 3, he requested an examination by an independent neurologist in accordance with the NBA concussion policy, a league source with direct knowledge of the situation told @TheAthletic. Wembanyama informed the independent neurologist that he was ready to play and completed an interview regarding his symptoms, but the NBA determined Wembanyama was not ready to return.

“It was a decision. I’m not saying it was good or bad. But the way the situation was handled, very disappointing,” he said.

Full details on how Wembanyama got cleared to return from his concussion and took his revenge out on the Blazers.

This brought a tear to my fucking eye. This is the Beautiful Game. San Antonio basketball. I'd know it anywhere.

Fuck, it’s like I’m watching Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and crew all over again

[The Spurs Way @zachmontana210]

The San Antonio Spurs are 21-4 over the last 25 games

Which is top 3 all time in franchise history over a 25 game stretch matching a the 2004-2005 and 2006-2007 teams which we all know what happened those seasons.

Head down and stack wins!

This is where I can’t agree.

Most of NBA Twitter at the time, when Spurs Drafted Wemby, were calling for them to dump their assets for Dame and then Trae.

Then it was Lauri.

Spurs refused. Kept all their picks the next two years AFTER Vic was drafted.

They could have easily made this situation a short window mess trading for 1 way, high cost, high volume scorers with cool names like many suggested.

They instead kept all premium draft capital and cashed in a low cost deal for a two way perimeter talent like Fox.

They could have also traded Castle & Harper for Giannis recently like many suggested and Spurs still refused.

They could have also dumped Vassell, 14th pick/Carter Bryant for KD — they weren’t interested.

They should get all the credit for how they’ve built this thing.

“It’s hard to watch, I don’t watch as much as I want to because I find myself throwing my flip flops at the tv” “working with the Braves these past few years It very frustrating”
not a good look at all when one of the best players of your franchise history is saying this…

Success and suffering will either darken your heart or make you wise, but they won't leave you where you were. It depends on how you respond to them.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

I believe that our civilization is not only founded on Christianity, but is in its very material and texture Christian. In other words, I believe that, if there had been no Christianity at all, there would now be no such civilization at all.

One of the names of the Holy Spirit is “the Spirit of Grace.” The Holy Spirit is the dispenser and Lord of Grace. To be filled with the Holy Spirit means that you are filled with grace (spiritual power) to live pure, holy, and undefiled.

[AW Tozer @DailyTozer]

Fundamentalism has on its own part fallen into error, the error of textualism, which is simply orthodoxy without the Holy Spirit. Everywhere among conservatives we find persons who are Bible-taught but not Spirit-taught.

"Love to the loveless shown, That they might lovely be."
Christ is a husband who makes the church beautiful when he weds her, not a husband who wants to wed her because she is beautiful. The love of God does not find, but creates, that which is pleasing to it.

[Brian Simmons @BrianWSimmons]

More important than having a brilliant mind is to have a burning heart for God.
