Gonna need "he's just standing there, menacingly" stat for Wemby

Wemby took two field goal attempts in the first half, didn't block a shot, and completely controlled the game.

He’s so good it’s just funny watching him call for the ball to be delivered to his feet every few minutes

Elliot Anderson gonna get hit with the “excessive call for pass” and drag down his match rating

#NFFC #UEL

Wemby in game one against Dallas:

40 points
15/21 from the floor
9/11 from the line
15 rebounds
3 blocks
1 steal
1 assist
0 turnovers

... in under 30 minutes.

(And Dallas have some damn good big defenders.)

Wemby is a 7'5" (allegedly) free throw merchant

Chuffed to be getting Ryan Ruocco on the Spurs' first game of the season. Just gotta get Rebecca Lobo out there for the dream team. #NBAsky

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH VICTOR WEMBANYAMA

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood

Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

just absolutely cackling watching Wemby play basketball #NBAsky

Houston's half-court offence is like me trying to finish a plate of nachos (messy, sluggish, occasionally saucy)

Software I dig:

Darktable (as a Lightroom alt)
Obsidian (for notes)
Marktext (markdown editor)
Heroic (GOG and Epic games launcer)
Steam just works
DaVinci Resolve (video editing)

Whole lotta replies and quotes saying "this drove me to Linux" aaaaaand... same.

Fedora (and Bazzite) KDE are real nice. Can't see myself going back.

Fun few minutes for Reed Sheppard. Got cooked off the dribble a few times. Was missed when he was open for 3 a few times. Nailed the 3 and got a nice steal. Then over dribbled and threw Sengun a hand grenade. He's going to be a fun watch this season. #NBAsky

Impressed the NBA slapped a little "Tissot" logo on the green coaches-challenge light. Gotta brand everything. #NBAsky

"Amen Thompson running people over" will be a fun highlight reel at the end of the season. #NBAsky

I love @codyhoudek.bsky.social’s occasional “how I’d change the NBA‘s rules” tangents on the excellent Thinking Basketball pod. Sooooo I did my own.

This is true. But, also, counterpoint: beast crest, go ham.

Adam Silver doesn’t care about basketball (or its fans) - Everybody Clap Your Hands Walt Disney once said the following: “We don’t make movies to make money. We make money to make more movies.” Now, the truth behind that is debatable: Walt was as...

Every blog I write inevitably gets a rant about capitalism. Now, it's my silly basketball blog's turn.

Ahhh, that's rough. Cathy fully wearing a dress with the NY skyline to present the Liberty with their trophy made it extra weird. And they just straight up didn't stop the weirdness.

Justice for the Lynx this season.

Same here. I just feels richer in every sense of the word (e.g. the cultural focus on singing, the sense of movement on a mechanical level). While also feeling like it's own thing. While also feeling like the logical next step in whatever conversation HK started.

It's just good art. Love that.

Finished the Arlong Park arc on the weekend and I'm so in. Love it. Thanks for the prompt to dive in.

I could see his karaoke song being "Dear Maria, Count Me In" by All Time Low (or whatever his generation's pop-punk equivalent is)
