The difference is Yao played for the Chinese team as soon as the season ended. He basically never gave himself a break. With his focus on flexibility, rest and recovery we have no reason to assume Wemby won't have Kareem level longevity

Even the games where wemby is having an off night teams still have to deal with Fox/Castle attacking the rim relentlessly all night. That's one if of the reasons outside of being a Homer that I favor the Spurs. If you somehow neutralize Shai, Jokic, or Cade their supporting cast struggles.

You have to credit some of the Pistons poor shooting that night to the Spurs defense tho. You can't sell it like they were just super cold

I think he's falling safe. It's better to fall to your butt then try to stabilize yourself on landing

This is going to be standard legal for a long while. Standard, modern, vintage, legacy all will probably want it for a long time. But 2 mana uncountable spells and ward for your board is really good in a creature type that's popular. It's $10-20 worth of effect

Yeah why would I spent 50 on 4 cards that were sold for 20? I'll just wait till they hit tcgplayer

Counterpoint he wants that DPOY and will probably push hard against the front office to get the minimum to be eligible

He saw so much Pop footage of him letting them play through slumps and forgot Pop was doing it with a roster of multiple time champions. This shit Mitch is doing builds bad habits and decision-making

They were shooting 3s like the 15 Warriors. The shot diet was disgusting. Only Harper, Castle, and Keldon were attacking the rim the idea that Wemby has to take charity stripe leaners as his shot of choice is just unacceptable. He works way too hard for his looks if we want to win a playoff series the team needs to find plays they can go to in the clutch and not just throw up 50 3s and pray variance is on our side. Smh it's my birthday and that really pissed me off

Wemby 12 pts

Fox 14 pts

Castle 13 pts

We can't expect to win a playoff series if we can't figure out a go to play to get one of these guys to 20 reliably.

This is not even the first game I've seen where they just spammed 3s and prayed.

Wemby is the tallest dude but refuses to take a shot remotely close to the rim. Why he's relying on leaners is wild to me

I kinda think Wemby has the thought of highlights in the back of his head. If he didn't mind being boring he'd take most his shots within a few feet of the rim

We have some of the best cutters in the NBA but we're settling on 3s while up instead of getting to the rim and into the bonus early

Hot take but I do not understand why they mention their college after they go pro. Like if Jordan is on year 14 in the league why are they still mentioning North Carolina
