i can't imagine the front office allowing us to be too good, if it looks like we'll finish too high and lose the draft pick.

Also i don't really think that's gonna happen We lost to the kings and barely scraped by PHX Both those teams suck

Cooper Flagg with a sweet 2 points tonight on 1-9 shooting and a -28 in the box.

I'm worried the league is going to give them another top pick. If there's one team I'd like to see sneak into the playoffs, it's the Mavs.

Wemby looks like the best player in the league already and it's not particularly close.

Jokic averaging a quiet triple double, and leading the league in both boards and dimes will have something to say about it. But I guess with him, historic seasons have just become ho-hum. Too bad really. But yeah this year watching Wemby and Jokic duke it out will be very entertaining.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

I like the way the season has started. The Jazz have a winning record, the tank is dead, my boy Edgecombe looks like a star (plus ROY) and Flagg looks mid.

Feels good to be right about everything.

Bummer for the Thunder a surefire championship dynasty is going to be stopped before it can start by Wemby

I’m glad both will create some competition for each other. I hate the unchallenged dynasty.

As for right now I take Wemby. For one, Jokic isn't leading the league in boards. He is averaging 12.7 and wemby is averaging 13.8. Points its jokic at 20 vs wemby at 31. Assists is jokic 11.7 and wemby is 2.8. Blocks is jokic 0.7 vs wemby at 4.8. Wemby is quite a bit more efficient with a 63% eFG and Jokic at 56% eFG. FWIW Wemby is playing a little more than 4 minutes less per game (due to all the blowout wins) than Jokic which means the per 36 numbers would go in his favor a bit more.
Spurs are undefeated at 4-0 and nuggets are 2-1. Spurs are also number 1 in the league in point differential at +16.5. So he is putting up these arguably better numbers on the best team in the nba (currently).

Now having said all that, I dont think Wemby and the spurs can keep it up and by the end of the season I think its likely that jokic is ahead of wemby in the mvp race. And of course one dude is 30 years old and the other is 22. Its craziness how good Wemby is right now.
