I went last night for the first time this year. It was ugly other than their third quarter run. Credit Minnesota’s defense I guess, but there were a ton of careless turnovers and lots of unforced errors. 

That’s the worst I’ve ever seen Castle play. Really rough night for the rookie. I like him better with the starters than coming off the bench.

Weird statline of the night: Naz Reid 1-10, 3 points but +26. Also, it would absolutely drive me crazy if Gobert played for the Spurs. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to watch him botch easy play after easy play, and then all of a sudden he starts making them. 

We probably should've won by 30 with the 8 bunnies we missed in the 2nd half. If Goberts not dunking it(which he missed about 3 of those last night) its a wild experience. then suddenly the wolves start making their lay ups while going at Wemby.  weird 

 

when i saw Keldon Johnson was out, I knew our chances were good. DIdnt think anyone coming off the spurs  bench going 7-11 with 6 3 pointers

Wemby needs to take over this fourth quarter. 

[hornfan785 570]

He's taken over! Self lob off the glass for the slam, and then the highest/slowest lob ever to Sochan.

Victor is so sick.....

Maybe if they don’t turn it over every other possession in ot they might pull this thing out. 

[Pam Cummings 9867]

Mitch just called one of the most elite timeouts I've ever seen. So clutch.

Suck it Atlanta. Now stop beating Boston and Cleveland and go slink your ass back into the lottery.

Not bad....

Spicy ass win tonight.

CP ain't here for this tanking shit.

Also I'm still gay for Sochan (but not Mole man - no one's gay for Mole man). YMMV.

Meanwhile, rival executives are monitoring the Fox situation closely and league sources say one team in particular — the San Antonio Spurs — is positioning itself to pursue the Houston native as a possible partner for Victor Wembanyama, should Fox become available. Barring a significant Kings turnaround, others are surely close behind.

Not sure I want that.

You should. Fox is a perfect pairing next to Vic. It’s going to cost a lot, but this team is immediately better with him.

I fear it will cost us picks though

A lot of picks.

I'd rather have the picks

Nah, our picks are about to start sucking, and Fox is a tremendous player. I don’t think we would do better than him in a draft, unless we decide to tank out the year (those days are finally over). All of our other picks this year probably won’5 convey in a way we want. If Sacramento wants to trade him, we should be all over that shit. I love Castle, but I’d help him pack. It’s going to be expensive, but great players always are.

I just don't think Fox has the kind of upside for this to make sense

Wemby with 10 blocks tonight. He just keeps getting better and better.

[hornfan785 570]

Some Wemby stats I saw in Reddit:

12th 30/10 game ever. (8 of which were by Hakeem or the Admiral)

 

First time anyone's ever had 30/10 with a three pointer. 

 

First time anyone's ever blocked 10 shots and hit 4 threes in the same game. 

 

Just the 3rd game ever with 10 blocks and 2 threes (Victor has one of the other two)

 

12th game ever with 8 blocks and 2 threes (Victor has 5 of the 12)

[hornfan785 570]

Oh, and another amazing stat from tonight: 0 minutes for Zach Collins. Praise Wemby!
