GAME 1: San Antonio Spurs (0-0) vs. Dallas Mavericks (0-0) | 8:30pm CST ESPN!

[KillerLeft]

Will wait another game or two against a more orthodox opponent to make judgements about the Mavs, other than the Mavs need to sit Klay and play a PG.  In 4.5 decades of watching basketball, Wemby’s performance last night was the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen. It didn’t look human. It didn’t look like a hot streak or a player in a zone. He was just like a towering basketball god visiting earth for a nice little pick up game with mere humans. He was Giannis and SGA combined in a 7’6 body with the wingspan of an 8 footer and the ball handling, speed, agility, and footwork of an elite basket attacking guard. On top of that, Wemby is by leaps and bounds the best defensive player I’ve ever seen. There’s no way to beat that if San Antonio surrounds him with legitimate players, and they have. You all maybe have a day to go to the futures window and drop every bet possible on the Spurs and Wemby.  It’s over, if he stays healthy, until they change the rules, we witnessed the end of basketball last night.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure sitting Thompson is even an option. He's clearly the guy who should sit, ability wise, but he's also the literal only space-creating device on the floor to start games. 

The obvious problem is that defense does NOT win championships unless you have a good offense. Until the team figures that out (and to be fair, maybe they will - it was only one game) we're in for some disappointing basketball, I think.
