“He’s going to be really, really, really, really, really, really good. Yeah, he’s going to be an amazing player. Just his ability to time up shots and block, really affects the game. It makes you second guess and think about what you’re trying to do.” – Aaron Gordon on Wemby – 1:10 AM

Not to be pessimistic about this, but, Nikola Jokic passed Carmelo Anthony for 3rd most points in a Nuggets uniform and for a player with historic moments for Denver, you just expected there to be a congratulatory message by Melo played at the arena.
There was not. – 12:24 AM

Tre on the show put on by Wemby and Jokic:
“It’s crazy…Non-American players are taking over like everybody is saying. It’s really cool to see how the game is going. Jokic, 7 foot, one of the best passers in the world…Victor, 7-4, bringing the ball up as well, playing point.” – 11:45 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Spurs shot 50 percent (8 of 16) from the free-throw line.

The question isn’t if Wemby will get a quadruple double, it’s when.
The answer, I’m guessing, is by the end of his second season. – 11:20 PM

Reggie Jackson has been atrocious today, but the fact that he just attempted a floater against a 7’4 man that just blocked 8 other shots in this contest with the game on the line is incredible. – 11:19 PM

Warriors played well most of the first half, led 49-36 with three minutes left and then gave it all back. It’s a 13-0 Dallas run to close the half. Game tied. Very reminiscent of the first half script in home loss to Nuggets earlier this season. GSW: 11 turnovers. Bad ones. – 11:06 PM

He’s played 9.5 mins in the opening quarter – 9:30 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
No Brunson to start the fourth quarter, as usual. Now we see if the Knicks can dig into this lead during these minutes. Had been the problem against San Antonio and OKC (and other places) – 9:28 PM

The Spurs have erased the Nuggets’ 10 point lead.
Wemby knocked down a three, then finished an oop from Graham – 9:27 PM

Really unselfish play by KCP on that layup attempt.
Draw the shot blocker, get the shot on the rim, even if you miss, Jokic is there to clean up. – 9:20 PM

The Nuggets are favored by 15.5 – 8:56 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
I think the Gobert on a non-shooter is a good strategy for the Wolves. But I do think it’s a little trickier when it’s a player like Amen Thompson or Josh Giddey, who function more as a guard, than it is when it’s Aaron Gordon, who functions more as a big in the dunker.
There’s… – 8:40 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Malone says Wemby’s passing isn’t appreciated enough: “Everybody talks about the blocks, the dunks, the 3s. The last 5 games he’s averaging almost 6 assists per game. And really good passes. You can tell he’s got a flair, understands how to play & can make his teammates better.” – 8:06 PM

Like Kerr, Malone is impressed with how much Wemby has grown confidence-wise since they both saw him in November. – 8:04 PM

Sochan & Vassell played with pain these last couple of weeks.
But it was hard to tell as they delivered some of their best performances of the season.
“It was good they caught those (injuries) when they caught them before it got worse,” Tre Jones said.

Paul Pierce convincingly said that “in the NBA nobody considers European players tough, especially if they’re from France” 😶
He also had controversial quotes specifically on Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert, undervaluing the French centers’ toughness:
