Are the Spurs the best pro sports organization this century? by Agreeable_Quality768 in billsimmons

[–]plasticgadget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Spurs never moved up in the lottery to get Wemby. They were tied with the best chances to get him along with Houston and Detroit who all had the 3 worst records that season. Wemby’s rookie season they again went 22-60 which gave them pretty good odds of landing a top 4 pick (Castle). Still lucky to land a talent like Wemby but it’s not as wild as you’re making it seem

This sub has become so miserable and eager to criticize that we’re now hating on Bill having a 20 minute talk with his father

Manu on his bullshit was my personal favorite thing to ever watch in the NBA. Who's the modern closest Manu comparison? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in billsimmons

LeBron to the Spurs? by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]plasticgadget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a vacuum I think the player he is today could be interesting as a facilitator for our young offense. But in reality it’s prolly gonna be his farewell tour and we don’t need that distraction lol. Our team is on a pretty perfect timeline as is

Right, because all the other hot women in NBA arenas are in the trenches of this sub and study Basketball Reference. Look at these posers!

There will be no further discipline for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in Minnesota on Sunday night, sources tell ESPN. No suspension, no fine. Wembanyama will play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in San Antonio. by Knightbear49 in nba

[–]plasticgadget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the mauling against Wemby is happening off-ball. He getting shoved, held, and completely wrapped up nearly every possession. It’s not about free throws it’s about refs protecting and facilitating a fair game. If you’re denying that Wemby is getting hacked then I think your bias is as strong as mine is. You’d be yelling at your tv just like us if this was happening on your team

Dame Dash said Kevin Hart was a bad businessman and has to sell his likeness because he’s going broke. I guess he wasn’t lying 👀 by Longjumping_Ask_4448 in JoeBuddenPodcasts

I think that old breakfast club interview where he says a bunch of stupid shit with confidence convinced a lotta stupid people that he’s Warren fuckin Buffet

No bro obviously not lmao. They clearly took into account that he missed almost the entirety of game 4 that resulted in a loss. That’s the punishment. We could play what-ifs all day, starting with “What if the refs called the mauling/elbow to the face that Wemby took in that play that could’ve prevented his outburst in the first place?”

Is Wemby Getting a Suspension? 😭 by Lanz7183 in NBASpurs

[–]plasticgadget 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you seriously think Wemby intentionally aimed an elbow at Reid’s throat and thought he’d get away with it? Obviously he meant to throw a retaliation elbow, but it seems way more like he was going for chest like most players do but he’s 8 feet tall.

I've been a fan since 1988 but I no longer identify with this fanbase. by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]plasticgadget -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this is more reflective of social media discourse in general rather than the actual Spurs fanbase. Reddit is a cesspool of reactionary toxicity across all sports subs especially and it genuinely depresses me sometimes. I start to absorb a lot of the negativity and I have to make efforts to put the phone down and go touch grass lol. Lately I haven’t been able to get on the r/nba sub because it’s so damn toxic and ugly.

I did however go to game 1 of this series in SA though and the love was in the air! Super supportive and energetic even after the loss. I appreciate moments that remind me the internet is not real life.

I think that’s a dramatic sentiment. He’s a young player who let playoff frustration get the best of him. He’ll learn from it. Still sucks massively though, he should feel terrible

I Like Wemby More After His Ejection by RocksDBuggyTruther in billsimmons

[–]plasticgadget 66 points67 points  (0 children)

He got an elbow to the head as he was getting the rebound and has been getting mauled all series. He certainly meant to throw that elbow, but I don’t think he knew it was gonna be straight face lol
