NBA 23/24 - The Wembypocalypse
-
9 days and we are under way
Victor Wembenyama is already doing freaky shit in preseason, sky hook dunks and just basically being alarmingly long. Seriously, he's going to stand there and drop in his free throws, his arms are 18 feet long. No way that skinny-ass frame lasts 82-games this year, but at least Spurs fans have something interesting to watch.
Seriously though, he is going to be a problem. I've only been watching highlights, but a lot of commentary is highlighting his game IQ, which is incredible considering he is 19.
He's not the only story around though, the NBA is the most drama-laden sport around (off court, not on court). These overly stretched humans are all massive divas. James Harden is still causing issues. Dame is playing with TGF but might still not win a ring given the pieces moved out. Chris Paul is at the Warriors apparently to run the 2nd unit. The Celtics have changed things up to try and take the final step.
Fuck knows who wins, we have a thousand game regular season to try and work out who is good now. All i know is, it's good to be a Spurs fan again.

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’m 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
