So the question is can Wemby carry his team to the playoffs now that he has CP3 to help him out? The answer could still be no, he really needs to developed himself mentally and physically to be able to carry Spurs to at least a playoff spot.

Imho, it's too early for the Spurs to dream about the playoffs. Given that the Spurs have Paul now, I think the best-case scenario for them would be to make the play-in tournament in the upcoming regular season.
Moreover, Wemby will probably need 3-4 more years to gain enough experience and skills to make the Spurs a really competitive team.

Wemby is special, but he’s not mature enough to lead the team yet. There were even times last season where it seemed like there were chemistry issues, with some players avoiding passing to him because he was hogging the spotlight. He needs to step up as a leader to earn the respect of his teammates. Hopefully, he becomes like Giannis—reliable and proven, since Giannis has already won a championship. As for Wemby, he’s still far from that, just riding on hype for now. He’s great individually, but real success comes from the team.

There's no question with that. The young man show solid potential and its just they don't have good support since his teammates also don't have good experience. But with current addition of Paul in their team for sure he can teach Wemby to look for more open space and to dominate inside also outside. If Spurs could just get additional veterans and good role players then maybe it can help Spurs to became a title contender.

If Wemby will exert more effort and doesn't get any injury then provably that few years from now maybe he can achieve that same like Giannis or even more stronger than him. He's tall also fast which is a great advantage for him, I look forward for more development from Wemby since expectation to became more better for him is so high.

That's just it, the team itself needs tons of work. Lots of young guys they need a more balanced team. Wemby isn't that guy yet to just take his team far without any help. Nothing against him he is just too young for that. Team needs a good mix of sharpshooter and some more wings who can play hard nose defense. They still will be fun to watch this year though.

News I didn’t expect to read this morning. RJ Barrett is being harassed on social media by a male prostitute who says that he is owed money for sex by RJ. He posted receipts showing that RJ Barrett has been sending him payments and it doesn’t look good. First gay sex scandal in the NBA since Dwight Howard…

While the Spurs have CP3 and Wemby combo, the whole roster of the team right now is very young and inexperienced as well. Sure, all of the teams where CP3 is going is improving, but it doesn't mean that they will go to the playoffs immediately.

I'll agree with what you said as well that it's too early, but I will not be surprised if they will improve this season with the acqusition of the Point God. Last season, the Spurs ended the season with a record of 22-60 so that would be a good basis as to if Paul is a big factor towards the improvement of the team especially Wemby or not. As for this season, I expect them to have a better record, but I doubt that they will even reach the play-in with their current roster, and if they will be for some reasons, they will not clinch the playoffs. For me, I think having a superstar that would help them is a good option as well. I guess let's just enjoy watching the Spurs all throughout the season because we will see more lobs coming from the duo.

Buddy Hield is the new splash brother as they say and yes, he's trying to prove himself that he's got some good hands. I'm waiting for more games of him and let's see if he's going to be consistent as expected.

Second game against the Kings, not sure if this is back to back for both teams, but the Warriors got another steal as this is a come from behind win. Buddy Hield had 10 points, but he has some ridiculous outside 3 in the second or third quarter if I'm not mistaken.

So yes, maybe he is going to be the new splash brother in the Warriors uniform. Or simply be Buddy Hield who is going to play very hard this season to help the Warriors to be on top of the West again, although it's going to be very hard to do.

He's for sure going to be another key player for the Warriors since Klay has left and he's the one to replace him.

He will get a lot of experience from Chris Paul for sure. But the Spurs should also get some players to really support Wemby specially in the second year. Yeah, there could be a lot of comparison with him and Giannis, when Giannis came he was also skinny as well but developed into one of the best.

In fairness with Wemby, he added some thickness for this year and that means progress to him. He's still got a lot of years to the NBA and he's now the front runner of Spurs, we just have to hope that he won't have any critical injury.

So hopefully Wemby will also be in that kind of path, and he had the whole San Antonio Spurs behind him. He also has the that great chance to have Coach Pop to mentor him and teach him to become a great player.

Rhinos vs Suns games is going on now in Super Sports Africa Suns are dominating more than Rhinos. Rhinos 28 points while Suns has 33 points. Lethabo is the match of the day from Suns while Joshua also Playing in Rhinos. The game is on second quarter Q2 now and they on break. I am supporting Suns to win the game. This is another sport game I like to watch after football. Suns are doing well in the game. In the second half, we will know who will win the full game because as foe now the gap rage is very narrow and if Rhinos do well they can win the game.

Because if someone is up for fun, this is the type of games that we've like to have on but I am careful with the few bucks that I'd bet and just waiting for the regular season to come. We have less than 2 weeks for the regular season starts.

And how many dollars are you willing to bet? Just a few bucks for the sake of an experiment or something like that? Of course, there are those forum members among us who bet on sporting events. Including basketball. It is a wonderful sport with its own unique features. A huge sport. You can completely immerse yourself in all this for a long time)

Not that much at all, if I have some spare money to use then I'd do so.

I haven't bet at all, still pre-season, might be good to just see how the teams are playing, specially those who move to a new team and see how and where they fit in that new team. So far Klay for me had a good game, same with Buddy Hield, so I guess it's very much fair that both teams ended with a win-win situation. Obviously, the big news is Bronny James and Lebron playing together and makes history. In a few minutes we will see Sacramento and Warriors again. Warriors took the first game, and they are still the underdog here, so let's see if they can pull another upset and for those bettors who are going with them, then good luck, currently at 1.95.

Buddy Hield is the new splash brother as they say and yes, he's trying to prove himself that he's got some good hands. I'm waiting for more games of him and let's see if he's going to be consistent as expected.

I doubt though that teams are dreaming to be in the play-in because it's going to be very hard for them. Why not aim to win as much as they can and see if they can make the magic number 6 as playoff team?

I do agree with you here, it's really hard to compare him with Lebron when Lebron join the NBA. Lebron has a different kind of mentality and he is a freak, a specimen we haven't seen before. As compare to Wemby, who looks soft entering the NBA although he is very athletic, but it's not enough as he is too skinny. Needs more to developed and the Spurs might have a plan already. No need to rush, may in that span of time, he could evolved and mature like Giannis before him. He developed his mind and then surround himself with a good coach and mentor and teammates and then journey to win a NBA ring.

They really need some experience specially for Wemby to be the leader of the team. And that's what separate Lebron coming from the league, he is built differently, he did carry the Cavs during that time, but obviously he can't do it alone. But still playing in playoff and having 50 point game during his rookie and sophomore year is a great accomplishment for a young Lebron.

Things are different now compared to LeBron's era because the 3-point shooting revolution, led by Curry, hadn't really taken off back then. As we saw, LeBron had an easier time in the East, but he struggled in the Finals, especially against the Spurs. Teamwork is still crucial for building a great team, and LeBron benefited from a weaker Eastern Conference at the time, which isn’t the case now.

I’m not sure if the Spurs will make the playoffs, but if they do, it’ll be exciting to see a fresh team in the mix. With Coach Pop’s experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if they manage to upset a top-seeded team.

I'm not talking about the 3 point shooting revolution, I'm talking about how a rookie can carry the team and bring them in the playoff against a more experience them. Lebron that time didn't have someone to help him, he just carry everything in his shoulder. And it's really a tough conference as well during his rookie year or the first seasons that he was with the Cavs.

So the question is can Wemby carry his team to the playoffs now that he has CP3 to help him out? The answer could still be no, he really needs to developed himself mentally and physically to be able to carry Spurs to at least a playoff spot.

It seems like the loss of Klay Thompson wasn’t felt by the Warriors at all.

In their preseason game against the Kings, Hield showed off his 3-point accuracy, hitting 6 of 7 and leading the team in scoring. If he can keep that up in the regular season, the Warriors are still a dangerous team, and who knows, they might find themselves back in the NBA Finals again.

you can check the boxscore

I knew it, Buddy Hield is a consistent shooter, so it's only right that the Warriors signed him. His career is about to take off again since he fits perfectly with their system. I can't wait anymore! We're still in the preseason, but it already feels like the regular season is here. In his last season average, his shooting percentage was 42.5%, placing him in the top 3- pretty solid...

Warriors are going to be lucky to make the playin. The west is so strong they are going to have fight through great teams every night and hate to say it but their "stars" are on the wrong side of age. Old players don't make deep runs for a reason. Season is long and grueling but their team isn't good enough to sit them for stretches. I might be of the minority but steph holds insane value for contenders. I'd start fleeting teams and stack picks like okc did with parting with pg3. If they run this thing out they won't have any assets and be terrible for years. The okc model is the way to go for them.

Yes, the Warriors will have to go to a lot just in order to even in the play-in. The West roster now is balance, and if you look at it last year, Sacramento was strong in the beginning and then they falter later, and that's why the also stack themselves with DeMar DeRozan.

Of course you may say that they have the DNA championships, but they are no longer getting any younger, and so it's really hard for Curry and Draymond Green to carry the load unlike when they are in their primes. Buddy Hield might be a good pick up last season, but I do not see him turning the franchise again to win this NBA ring for this season.

Does the amount really matter? Sports betting should be a source of entertainment not an income generator. Anyone can bet on any league or matches using the amount they like as long as they are enjoying.

On this scenario, a preseason game has a lot of unknown that can give more excitement due to extra difficulty on predicting the outcome but winning a bet despite the odds will be worth it for people that seek entertainment on their bet.

Only risk what you can afford to lose so that it’s fine regardless of the result as long as you enjoy the game.
