NBA 23/24 - The Wembypocalypse
-
So pumped. Have a conference in Chicago early next month. Bulls vs Jazz on the Monday, Bulls vs Suns on the Wednesday! First-ever NBA games in person.
Hoping to pick up a 10-day contract and get a run while I am there.

My boy Torrey Craig at the Bulls now
-
Looking forward to the season. Some of the things I鈥檓 interested in:
- Is Beal, Booker and KD a genuine Big 3?
- What lineup will Kerr close games out with?
- Will this finally be the year Porzingis gels with a team?
- Can Ja stay free of suspensions?
- Could the Lakers surprise? (I like a few of the pieces there)
- I expect the trade deadline activity will be busy
- the 76ers drama is unlikely to resolve quickly
- Will Ben Simmons gel with all those Nets wing players?
- The in-season tournament will be a massive $$ spinner

Can't wait til he goes 2-9 in his first game, bricking 2FT's early and never setting foot in the paint again. Then he'll claim a sore back afterwards, caused by a racist casino bouncer

Lapsed NBA fan here - is he already in contention for best player* in NBA conversation?
*I know that season MVP never go to players on .500 teams.

Just to revive this thread a bi, check out the stats they discuss for Wemby through 101 games:
He's great - especially on D, where I'm not sure the block stats truly capture the impact, the footage of guys not even shooting in his presence are amazing.
I don't love all the 3's, but I'm the brokenest of broken records there!
Just to qualify the hype a little, because there is a lot of BS going around the internet - like this:
That is some seriously selective listing. By way of example, David Robinson had more points, rebounds and blocks after 100 games than Wemby...and he never got to shoot a 3...
But I like the kid, I just hope he stays healthy - the record isn't great for guys that size, and he is one big bastard!!!
@nonpartizan he is zero chance for MVP - I reckon you need to finish top 4 minimum in your conference to stand a chance.

Oh yeah, no doubt. Kobe should imo have won MVP in 2006 but the fact the Lakers got the 7th seed cost him.
One thing the Spurs are good at (hoping I don't jinx it) is extending players careers....... Ginobili and Duncan went on forever...... Pop is the original load manager. I will start checking some highlights out
