The Spurs take down OKC.

Bad games happen. Good teams keep them to a minimum during a long season.

Yep.

Ride the waves, Froobs. It’s a fun sea this year!

Victor Wembanyama makes more history in San Antonio Spurs win over Oklahoma City Thunder

2023 No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama seems to do something unprecedented on a weekly basis.

The San Antonio Spurs rookie stuffed the stat sheet in a statement 132-118 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.

Wembanyama posted 28 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and two steals while also making 5-of-7 three-pointers, outdueling fellow Rookie of the Year candidate Chet Holmgren along the way.

The Frenchman became the first player in NBA history to record 25+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 5+ blocks, and 5+ threes in a game, per the NBA.

The phenom also capped off a dominant February by becoming the first NBA player ever to average two steals, two triples and three blocks in a month.

That block he had on Holmgren was nuts.

[BBG]

OMG, I wish I could have watched that Spurs OKC game

[Beef Supreme]

That block he had on Holmgren was nuts.

I think that was the moment he passed Chet for ROY.



I’m of the opinion that team success should NOT be a factor in the rookie award.

LeBron is 9 points away from hitting 40,000 points in his career. He's already scored the most points in history (KAJ is second with 38387)

I don’t know about you, but I think he makes it.

Siakam a minus 43 and Haliburton a minus 40 in Indiana's loss to the Pelicans tonight. Woof.

This is one of the more remarkable achievements in sports in a while.

[boxter432]

Boston is up...82 to 38 at halftime against the Warriors yeesh

OKC blows a 24 pt lead in the 2nd half against the Suns
and then wins by 8.

Nurk with 31 in that game. Rebounds.

[twolves31]

Booker out at least the next 7-10 days. He already didn't help us being out last night against OKC and he isn't going to help us when Phoenix plays Denver on Tuesday.

and of course we still play them twice but both in the last 6 games of the year April.

[ChrisPaulGeorgeHill]

Ish to Phoenix on two way deal.

Sorry Yummy.

[somuchyummy]

aaaaaaaRrrrrhhhhhggggghhhh. oh well. at least he's going to a lousy team, right?

[ChrisPaulGeorgeHill]

I dunno. Maybe.

I think come playoffs they might be a team that could power their way farther then some people think.

[weimy froob]

time to be lakers fans for the night.

[twolves31]

Clipper blew a 4th quarter lead to Milwaukee without Giannis. Lost the 4th quarter 40-25.

that's an el foldo. takes a little of the sting out of yesterday's loss. time for the other LA team to have a quality game.

[weimy froob]

it's early but the thunder are rolling against the lakers. up by 18 points in the first quarter. going for their 8th win in nine games.

[weimy froob]

must have been an early misprint on that laker game because the first quarter ended up tied at 25 and now the lakers lead 37-30 in the second.

[boxter432]

Lakers smoking, up 24 late. Nice little losses by Clips and OKC.

[twolves31]

Solid night for the Wolves standing. Wolves win, and OKC, Clippers, and Sacramento all lose. Sacramento blew a huge lead to the Bulls. The Bulls have now made big comebacks for wins against the Wolves, New Orleans and now Sacramento. We play the Bull again at the end of the month, hopefully we don't take them lightly.

Being the top seed will be nice, but I don’t know how important it is. It is not going to be easy no matter what seed you are. The top 10 all can be pretty tough. Wolves, Den, Okl, LAC, Phx, NO, Sac, Dal, LaL, and GS.

top seed would be a nice feather in their cap for a great regular season--but the record will be 0-0 when the games start up again in the playoffs. matchups are going to be more important than seedings, or even home court advantage.
