Wemby is gonna be a problem. No extra pocket change for OKC!
The game changed 180 degrees when he entered at the start of the second quarter. The Spurs were +21 when he was playing, -19 when he was out.

Heck of a game going on with Houston in Denver going into OT. Too bad nobody can see it -- on Peacock only!

I watched ONLY the final 3.7 seconds and OT.
Tough game (officiating) for Houston. The foul call on the inbounds was questionable. But there was a play in OT where Segun got shoved with two hands under the rim on a rebound... then A. Thompson got called for having one hand on the back of Murray at halfcourt after knocking the ball away.
That's a +5 for Denver in a super close game.

I don't like cheering for the Knicks, but it's never too early for scoreboard watching in the tight West, and we're 1 1/2 games behind the Spurs. So...go Knicks?

Anyone know of any dark rituals to perform that would land Stephon Castle in a wolves uniform?

The Cup finals do not count towards the regular season schedule, so you can back to cheering for the Spurs!

Oh thank god...go Spurs!
Wemby not nearly as impressive as he was against the Thunder, but his teammates are picking him up.
Stan Van Gundy is only 66, but sounds like he's 96!

Well, if nothing else, this adds salt to OKC's wound!

This won't help those of us depressed about our bench. So Trae Young is back in the starting lineup for Atlanta, kicking NAW back to the bench. And what does NAW do but score 28 points on 11-18 from the field. He was a +23, yet the Hawks still lost! Trae Young was a -3 in 20 minutes.

I recently dug more into the Hawks. Forget about Trae Young and NAW... Holy Jalen Johnson!!!
Last 8 games:

41/14/7
29/12/12
28/13/11 over that span.
He's still flying under the radar. He's also one of those guys who is making leaps EVERY season... something to look for in young stars. Only he's making HUGE leaps from season to season.
I can't do it justice here by posting the stats. They just keep going up significantly in virtually every category year after years. Volume, efficiency, everything.
