For those asking what led to the Booker-Sochan beef, there was a play when they got tangled up on the floor away from the ball, and Sochan got in his face for the next minute. I asked if Booker had leg-tackled him.

It’s really early in the season, which is when the weirdest things happen. But to go sweep the Suns in one of these baseball series as SA is still trying to figure things out is impressive. And they blew a giant lead. That’s one of the most difficult situations to respond to. – 1:33 AM

I don’t even know what to say. Part of the Spurs’ offense right now is just “throw it up in the air where nobody but Wembanyama can get it” and there’s very little anyone can do. The whole thing is at ground level. Everyone’s just operating within a structure and freelancing. – 1:19 AM

Wemby came in at the 6 minute mark, Spurs nursing a five-point lead. Quickly scores 10 of 12 straight Spurs points to put the game away. Made 3s, turnaround 2s and got to the line. Suns were terrified of giving him easy buckets and fouled him over and over. What a closing weapon. – 12:31 AM

Vassell is out for the night and Booker has pretty emphatically found the game in these last few minutes, which means this 4th quarter could get interesting. Spurs lead 103-89 after 3. Wemby with 28 points 7 reb. – 11:56 PM

I won’t pretend I’ve watched Phoenix that closely across their first five games (I tend to try to watch teams when they’re healthy early in the season).
But from what I have seen, Drew Eubanks has been a lot better than Jusuf Nurkic. – 11:55 PM

Wembanyama is a literal cheat code.
The passes he opens up for his teammates just from his height and reach are unguardable. It’s like watching the one kid in middle school who hit puberty early and grew to 6’3″.
Just throw it up by the hoop and let him lay it in. – 11:47 PM

Solid effort in the 2nd game of a b2b on the road vs a good Sixers team, but Raps fall to 2-4. After 6 games in 9 days to open the season, bit of a reprieve coming in the sked. Next 6 games come in span of 18 days. Couple days off before getting their 1st look at Wemby on Sunday. – 9:24 PM

Regarding Spurs playing better in second half Tuesday, Pop said they are a “good character group” and were “embarrassed they played so badly.”
He said he didn’t have any “magic plays” to get them going.
“They willed that game, I think,” he said. – 8:54 PM

“This was…after he threw the chair, so I was kind of scared of him at first,” Doug recalled.
