Dylan Harper was benched for Fox in the 4th Quarter despite being the Spurs leading scorer through three quarters
Curious as to why the Spurs never decided to hunt Brunson in defensive matchups. They should kept putting him in ball screen actions and forcing him to guard the ball handler.
He picked the wolves
He picked the thunder
He’s picking the Knicks.
He’s been a Vic doubter all year long and has downplayed everything he’s done.
Water is wet, he’s an idiot. We move.
An anonymous rival GM on Victor Wembanyama
“He’s actually Shaq 2.0. Because he takes care of his body and plays a modern game, shoots the 3 and can make free throws. Yeah, he’s our nightmare.”

Spurs beat the thunder FOUR times in the regular season and everybody said it didn’t matter in the playoffs.
Knicks beat the Spurs twice and now it supposedly means everything lmao
Rich Paul reveals he had Darius Garland lined up for a trade to the Spurs prior to the Fox trade, and that Fox had no problem with being the #2 behind Wemby:
"I remember a trade getting ready to take place and De'Aaron and I were talking about it, and we were talking about different options where he could go etc, and obviously I had the Spurs kinda teed up..
At first it wasn't De'Aaron, it was another guard that I represent that I was envisioning going there, because De'Aaron wasn't wanting to be traded yet..
It was Darius Garland. He was flustered, he was frustrated and he wanted to get out.. and the Spurs before they got the 2nd pick, they needed a point guard. And I thought next to Wemby, with shooting and all that. And then things changed and he was fine.
And then so now Mike Brown got fired.. and so in De'Aaron's case when he finally got to the point to where ‘you know what it's probably time’, and we're having a conversation, one of the things we talked about was: OK if you get to the Spurs, are you OK being number 2?
And (Fox) didn't even flinch.
'Absolutely, absolutely.'"

WEMBY JUST DROPPED A BAR:
"The lack of experience is a strength of us...because we could do impossible stuff because we don't know it's impossible" 🥶
