    I think one thing that hurts Wemby is that he missed a solid amount of games already at 14, & the Spurs still did very well without him. The official MVP Ladder currently is, SGA, Luka, Jokic, Cade, & Wemby. I don't understand how Cade finally just cracked the top 5, when he's had the Pistons at the top of the East all year. He should be swapped with Jokic at #3 imo. As for Luka, his team is the only team who has a losing record without him at 5-6, so he deserves his credit. All the other player's teams still have a winning record without them. But for me, I agree with having SGA at #1 thus far, he's missed the least amount of games. Jokic & Wemby are getting close to not hitting the 65-game mark. But man, imagine if Wemby could stay healthy, & imagine his numbers if he wasn't always on minutes restrictions. Sheesh, I can't wait to see what type of numbers he'll be putting up when/if that time comes, it might be some 2K MyPlayer type numbers.

    I've been saying this in comment sections a lot. The spurs play a physical style of basketball. Castle and Dylan often make tough layups and we get to the line a lot, but they will need to learn how to adjust to less calls come playoff time. They can get past that, but its going to be something that will potentially take them out in the first or second round to a more experienced team. Also, consistency is still an issue. The spurs are great at getting 4 to 5 players in double figures and not relying on 2 people to consistently get 25 plus points, but come playoff time you cant have champegnie and barnes occasionally got 1 for 15 from three and have wemby only get 15 points after a 35 point performance. I think the wolves and nuggets have the maturity and consistency to beat the spurs. Spurs have had OKC's nunber in the regular season but again… playoff leniency on fouls might make things tough if they cant maintain scoring like okc does with shai.

    Just a desperate attempt at Cuban trying to make himself look like the Hero after selling his franchise for no reason

    MacMahon broke my heart for Valentines Day, senior year. Ever since, I've made it my lifelong purpose to aggregate that Cowboy any chance I get

    lol. Another year. Another cycle of media thinking a team is a KD or James Jaren away from a championship. 😂😂😂 they could be 60 and the media will still think they are in their prime.

    Houston's season was cooked when FVV went down. Only true PG on the roster and you just can't do it without one. BRUTAL injury.
