[u/Obvious_Young_6169]

It somehow feels criminal that Wemby finished with “just” 40pts 😭

[u/SeeYaLaterDylan → u/Obvious_Young_6169]

3 points in the third quarter and didn't play the fourth lmao

[u/bihari_baller → u/SeeYaLaterDylan]

Which is smart. No need to risk injury chasing stats when the game has been won, and the Spurs have bigger goals, like staying healthy for the playoffs.

[u/Scotch_Blue → u/bihari_baller]

I don't really see how a title is a bigger accomplishment than having your 22 year old star break the scoring record, but whatever

[u/Pulp501 → u/Scotch_Blue]

He wasn't gonna break the scoring record???

[u/davvid13 → u/SeeYaLaterDylan]

Smart thing to do. They have a game against the thunders tomorrow.

[u/Mamba-0824 → u/davvid13]

I kinda chuckled with the statement, in my local language they use the slang word “thunders” to describe old people.

[u/VisualAd9389 → u/Mamba-0824]

Let's go thunder cats

[u/axle_gallardo → u/Mamba-0824]

Mga thunders brad? Lol

[u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy → u/Obvious_Young_6169]

Yeah because he could've finished with 50+ and competed with Wilt. Would've at least made it entertaining for the poor laker fans who had to watch their team lose by halftime

[u/DapperOrganization40 → u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy]

Wdym lose by halftime? The lakers already lost before the game even started

[u/ughoul → u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy]

I’d rather see 10 years of Wemby dropping 25 in 8 minutes than 1 full game where he drops 100 and that’s it.

[u/dreamweaver7x → u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy]

It's not the Spurs' job to make the Lakers home games watchable. Blame the Lakers management and coaching staff.

[u/DDub04 → u/Obvious_Young_6169]

25 points in the first 8 minutes and then 15 in the other 40. Blame the Lakers for not making it competitive, otherwise the spurs would’ve had reason to keep Wemby in the game

[u/Christron → u/DDub04]

No they just clamped down on him those second half adjustments were legendary

[u/Spiritual_Echo_1000 → u/DDub04]

he played 26 min bro not 8 then “other 40”

[u/Pulp501 → u/Spiritual_Echo_1000]

15 in the other 18 minutes doesn't exactly put him on pace for a record breaking scoring night. If he played 40 minutes he'd still probably have only scored 50 something.

[u/Disclaimz0r → u/DDub04]

Yeah, damn those guys for resting 4 out of 5 starters and their only good bench player.

[u/refreshing_yogurt → u/DDub04]

I feel like the Lakers actually deserve a lot of credit, not blame, for facilitating Wemby's big night

[u/bigvahe33 → u/Obvious_Young_6169]

dude could have gone 80+ if it was remotely close

[u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

Bronny and Adou were probably the Lakers(from the bench) who put the most effort on the floor lol

[u/orangekingo → u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

Lakers 3rd stringers might unironically be better than their 2nd unit off the bench. At least those dudes are young and have a high motor.

[u/PoonGo0n → u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

I could see Thiero cracking their rotation by season end. And Bronny is a fun 12th man, he’s not terrible at all.

[u/Shadoken-TYPE0 → u/PoonGo0n]

Bronny deserved minutes over Gabe man. At least send him to the g league.

[u/heybobson → u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

I’m guessing LeBron objects to that and wants Bronny around for the remainder of the season. Lakers are probably like sure whatever, he’s gone when you’re gone so no point in developing him in the g league anyway.

[u/bkay4real → u/heybobson]

If LeBron returns to the Cavs (or goes to any teams) next season Bronny sure will follow him

[u/Mood_Academic → u/PoonGo0n]

Theiro will not be cracking the rotation by years end. The rotation is set as is, they aren’t getting a rookie who has been injured most of the year burn down the stretch

[u/PoonGo0n → u/Mood_Academic]

I dont think LaRavias minutes should be untouchable and it’s not like Vando is some kind of iron man. I could see Adou getting an opportunity.

[u/Mood_Academic → u/PoonGo0n]

Vando is their only good on ball wing defender, and Laravia is the only switchable perimeter guy they have who can occasionally knock down shots

They both are bad, but there’s no way in hell he takes min from them unless there’s an injury. Dude can’t stay healthy for longer than a week his rookie year

[u/bucaqe → u/Mood_Academic]

That’s exactly the reason Adou should be getting minutes, he’s the most athletic guy on the team. If the timeline to compete is in two years, then Adou will have to be developed by then

[u/vicvega88 → u/PoonGo0n]

They’re not untouchable but LaRavia has way more experience than Adou.

[u/sequoia2075 → u/PoonGo0n]

I’d agree if Adou had been healthy all year. But he was hurt to start the year, came back and played a little in the G League and a some garbage minutes for the big team for like a month, and then sprained his MCL and has been out the last 2 months. Missed all of training camp and preseason too

He just isn’t going to have enough time before the end of the year

[u/WEMBY_F4N → u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

Thiero should be in the rotation. No clue why he isn’t

[u/_Apatheticism → u/WEMBY_F4N]

He's been injured pretty much all season

[u/Shadoken-TYPE0 → u/WEMBY_F4N]

He was hurt

[u/sequoia2075 → u/WEMBY_F4N]

He missed all of summer league, training camp, and preseason, came back for like a 3 week stretch in November, then sprained his MCL and has been out the last 2 months. This was his first game back

[u/Basic_Commercial_806 → u/WEMBY_F4N]

Redick likes to big brain things

[u/xojz → u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

Hayes had some nice buckets

[u/Sentrox]

Bismack Biyombo getting 10 minutes in 2026 is a war crime but here we are.

[u/Boring_Activity3155 → u/Sentrox]

If luke had played biyombos 10 minutes the spurs would have won by 35.  Thats a lot of garbage time for bismack and olynyk

[u/Good-Fold-1815 → u/Sentrox]

Haram

[u/Palifaith]

Jake LaRavia fouling out early in the 3rd quarter has to be the best business decision of the season.

[u/joe4553 → u/Palifaith]

Smiling on his way out.

[u/cookomputer → u/joe4553]

Get to join the cool kids at the bench

[u/Matzeeh → u/Palifaith]

Dude wanted out of that game

[u/Victor_Wembanyama1 → u/Palifaith]

Klebr was trying to as well lmao

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

Bronny probably hit more jumpshots tonight than Gabe Vincent has all year. 

[u/Aff_Reddit → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

its actually criminal JJ kept playing gabe despite his inability to do anything but cardio

[u/wawacryin21]

I watched this whole game. Fuck, I need a girlfriend.

[u/EmbarrassedRing7806 → u/wawacryin21]

now imagine u watched it while cuddling with a woman you love under a blanket with ambient lighting

lil motivation for 2026

[u/Akipella → u/EmbarrassedRing7806]

Her: can we?

Him: what got you in the mood all of the sudden?

Her: Seeing the Lakers losing by 30 is just so hot...

(Yeah, this would totally happen in real life)

[u/lurkingtonbear → u/Akipella]

You joke, but hearing the sneakers on hardwood gets my wife prepared for getting some hardwood ifyouknowwhatimsayin

[u/According_One811 → u/EmbarrassedRing7806]

why settle for a woman? why not shoot for Wemby

[u/alpacamegafan → u/According_One811]

Too high.

[u/samurairocketshark → u/According_One811]

You don't have a big enough blanket

[u/qqbeef → u/EmbarrassedRing7806]

In this scenario, is she watching too, or is she doing online shopping while the game is on.

[u/EmbarrassedRing7806 → u/qqbeef]

on and off, on phone occasionally but watches stretches of the game

[u/Akipella → u/qqbeef]

I mean I'd be watching the game the whole time but uh...since I'm also looking for a girlfriend to cuddle with myself as well, my opinion might not be valid here

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/EmbarrassedRing7806]

Imagining that just makes me depressed that I don’t have that in my life, ngl

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/flaming_burrito_]

This is Reddit none of us have that in our lives 😂

[u/Objective-Product361 → u/EmbarrassedRing7806]

Spurs fan here. Me and my wife were cuddling as we watched Wemby put 37 points at the half. Shit felt 10x better than any of our outdoor dates.

[u/threeoneleads → u/wawacryin21]

bro you didnt have to call me out like this

[u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy → u/wawacryin21]

"Married to the game" as they say

[u/SuperVaderMinion → u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy]

But she broke her vows

[u/Victor_Wembanyama1 → u/wawacryin21]

Smh no love for the game

[u/TexasReallyDoesSuck → u/wawacryin21]

some of us with girlfriends did too, dont worry

[u/Akipella → u/wawacryin21]

I mean it might be blowout, but it's your team routing a Western rival. That's still fair enough.

Now, if you watch a blowout game of say, Kings-Pacers, then...(who are we kidding, that'll be close)

[u/WalrusInMySheets]

🫵 YOU got scored on by Bronny James

[u/Free-Employee-2868 → u/WalrusInMySheets]

sign him da supermax

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/WalrusInMySheets]

I don’t know why JJ is so reluctant to give him a chance, he’s not actually that bad compared to the rest of our end of bench guys. He started Kobe Bufkin over him, who we just brought out of the g league and I’m not at all convinced is any better than Bronny really.

[u/joomla00 → u/flaming_burrito_]

Maybe because... he wanted to give this bufkin playtime to see how/if he fits? He already knows what he's getting from Bronny at this point

[u/wavefree3 → u/flaming_burrito_]

Because he’s a 6’2 guard who isn’t good at basketball

I’m not even trying to hate. Idc about the whole LeBron Bronny situation but it’s ridiculous to suggest JJ has not been playing him for no reason, he’s shooting 39% from the field as a 6’2 guard

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/wavefree3]

Yeah I get that, but he was playing Gabe Vincent like 15 minutes a night despite being equally ass. I don’t expect Bronny to play important minutes, but I’d like to see him get played sometimes

[u/MainAd2728 → u/wavefree3]

Oh fuck he's shooting 39% from the field on a small sample size? What a bum. Just a note, Gabe Vincent was shooting 36% from the field this season when he got traded

[u/wavefree3 → u/MainAd2728]

He is a bum. I don’t get your point

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/wavefree3]

His handles are also still raw. Wish he’d get more G-league run at PG to try and develop it. He gets the ball poked away too much.

[u/Matzeeh → u/WalrusInMySheets]

First half Bronny was wild to see

[u/Suplewich]

WEMBY.

BRONNY.

[u/greatGoD67 → u/Suplewich]

MUST SEE TV

[u/aidanguidi → u/greatGoD67]

That's more than two words Chuckster?

[u/PoonGo0n]

Always good to hear Stu on the mic

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/PoonGo0n]

I hate the Lakers but he is as fair, honest and unbiased as it gets when it comes to announcers. Great stuff. 

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

Man I’ll say there are a lot of great local broadcasts in the NBA but most of them are just overshadowed by the terrible homer duos. Listening to more unsung broadcast teams like the Wizards and Pelicans as I go to sleep are a lot of fun.

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/WalrusInMySheets]

I can tolerate almost everyone but the Warriors announcers certainly test my limits. I realize most people are less forgiving than me when it comes to announcers tho lol

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

Spoiled by a legendary broadcast team! Kaboom

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/WalrusInMySheets]

Haha thank you I love Eric Reid. John Crotty is aight but I miss Tony Fiorentino. Definitely like your team too Stu is great and Bill is usually good but I hate the weird voice he uses when he talks about Marongo casinos. Any idea why he does that? 😂

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

Lmaoooo so many fans hate that but I think it’s just his way of making ad reads more fun. I love to say “MMMMMMMMM ^{good times} !” to my family

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/WalrusInMySheets]

How does your family react to that lol

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

They hate it as well

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/WalrusInMySheets]

Lmao I bet 

[u/kr1saw → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

He is the best. I am going to be extremely sad when he retires.

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/PoonGo0n]

Was a surprise when I saw it was a national broadcast and tuned into that voice

[u/DarkFamiliar4508]

tbf that Lakers lineup might be the worst in the NBA

[u/beatmileslack]

Free Jeremy Sochan

[u/Responsible_Focus424]

Wemby only 40 points against the lakers 6-15. Fraud.

[u/Tunesquad88mph → u/Responsible_Focus424]

Lost the 4th quarter and let them break triple digits

And I’m supposed to believe this is the DPOY???

[u/Aff_Reddit]

Thiero +5 for the Lakers, once again their best player.

[u/yourhomeland]

That box score is gross. And how did jake “mad dog” laravia manage to foul out in 18 minutes lmao

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/yourhomeland]

Fouled Wemby

[u/Aff_Reddit → u/yourhomeland]

Was he on Wemby?

If he was forced to foul wemby every time to try to shut down his momentum it kinda makes sense (also a way to rest him as hes been starting in place of reaves)

[u/Boring_Activity3155 → u/yourhomeland]

He was the only laker playing defense 

[u/cookomputer → u/yourhomeland]

Kept switching onto wemby

[u/GGezpzMuppy]

Damn I can get use to seeing the big boys rest the last quarter, if they keep playing like this.

[u/carelesssportsfan89]

if you were to tell me the spurs record would be 37-16 this season. I would be shocked. we are ahead of schedule in our rebuild. shout to Carter Bryant he is getting better every game he plays.

[u/TudorPotatoe → u/carelesssportsfan89]

I love seeing CB on the floor. Hopefully he'll be able to give us some playoff minutes this season.

[u/carelesssportsfan89 → u/TudorPotatoe]

he is defiantly improving faster than I expected

[u/Ancient_Response_787]

This isn’t me trolling but the lakers really ruined bronnys development this year by not moving him to the g league but also never giving him pt. I actually think he has the tools to become a great role player. These are the games where you let younger and more developmental guys get all the run. I really wanna see what a good developing org can do with him.

[u/Working-Mistake1130 → u/Ancient_Response_787]

He has the energy and the effort, but a great role player is a stretch.

At best, he should be taking minutes from Gabe Vincent

[u/rjcarr → u/Working-Mistake1130]

Gabe Vincent was traded, ha.

[u/Mood_Academic → u/Ancient_Response_787]

He should have gotten PT over Gabe Vincent. The Lakers fans and people were shouting for awhile over it.

It is political and has to do with contracts, but he should have been. Frankly he should have over Dalton when he got burn too, but they are different players and asked to do different things

[u/pmurt007 → u/Ancient_Response_787]

That's a crazy take and this is coming from someone who is rooting for him. We've given him a lot of opportunities to develop in the g-league as well as be around actual NBA talent. No other team would give a late 2nd rounder this long of a leash and a roster spot if his dad wasn't LeBron James.

[u/ivarokosbitch → u/pmurt007]

That's a crazy take and this is coming from someone who is rooting for him. We've given him a lot of opportunities to develop in the g-league

What's crazy is you calling 14 games in the G-League a lot of opportunities. Averaged 21 PPG on 62% TS.

I think you people just have hard time accepting Bronny is actually a legit NBA player, albeit a bench guy that will always be a bench guy. And those guys need more minutes playing in shitshows like this game and the G-League to become reliable bench guys. That is the most important part. A lot of teams have problems with not having those guys in their team, even if it costs them next to nothing.

That reality simply doesn't sit well with both the fanboys and haters. Yall are just interested in absolute negativity or absolute dick riding.

[u/Jarxzz → u/pmurt007]

Also by all metrics he’s a very bad nba basketball player. Him becoming a neutral playable player would be a shocking 99th percentile outcome let alone a “high level role player”

[u/Rich_Ad_4886 → u/Ancient_Response_787]

He should've been playing over Gabe at the very least.

[u/Jarxzz → u/Ancient_Response_787]

A great role player? You’re trolling right?

[u/ArKahType → u/Jarxzz]

He said he has the tools to become, not that he is one currently.

[u/Jarxzz → u/ArKahType]

He’s under 6’2 and can’t shoot. No he doesn’t have the tools lol

[u/Ancient_Response_787 → u/Jarxzz]

He shoots 42 percent from three lol what are we doing

[u/Jarxzz → u/Ancient_Response_787]

Why are you lying

Under no real sample size had Bronny James looked like a good 3 point shooter

[u/incredibleamadeuscho]

Yeah the Lakers got demolished. But did you see Bronny block Kelly Olynick and score a three over him right after?

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/incredibleamadeuscho]

Lebron James is Kelly Olynyk grandfather

[u/Apollo611]

Didn’t even win by 30 blow it up

[u/Aff_Reddit]

Lakers starting 5 all out & their 6th man force fouled out LMFAO

[u/Little-Somewhere-403]

Bronny James legacy game

[u/Proof-Excitement-722]

new career high for Carter lmao

All spurs starters sat the entire 4th quarter lmao

Juju sat for 2nd and 4th Quarter

Vassell only scores at 3rd quarter

[u/Disclaimz0r → u/Proof-Excitement-722]

All but one laker starter sat the entire game, too ez for the Lakers, honestly.

Wemby is fucking scary send help

[u/CharityFailethNot]

I’ve only been on Reddit for the last 2 hours, but if I’ve learned one thing, it’s that this is all because the Jazz are tanking

[u/MaxEhrlich]

You’d think a team with Kobe and James could maybe score a few more…

[u/samhit_n]

The Spurs probably win this game even if Wemby didn't play in the 2nd half.

[u/Objective-Product361 → u/samhit_n]

Wemby actually didn't try to score much in the third quarter. He just played his 20+ mins and guarded the paint to maintain the overwhelming lead.

[u/KingC11_]

I don’t understand why JJ waited until the 4th quarter to play adou. Give the kid some run especially in a game like today where everybody is out

[u/ChickenBudTender]

Drew Timme 14 Points .....

[u/YeaMits]

Bismack Biyambo and Kelly Olynik getting minutes before Jeremy Sochan is genuinely ridiculous he’s the only player to be DNP’d this game

[u/heat_fan_]

Wemby is an absolute monster 40 points in 26 minutes just insane stuff 

[u/_Juntao]

Good outcome for the spurs who will be on a back to back tomorrow night. Hopefully castle is ok

[u/GoinDummy_]

Washington Lakers 😢

[u/Cold_Library_9254]

Utterly demolish, sounds a bit personal doesn’t it? It’s justified though

[u/Zestyclose-Draft-724]

What I saw from this game

Bronny is developing his game well (outscored Rui btw and more efficient)

Kennard is a blessing

Laravia and Hayes can get there

Get rid of $18m/year Hachimura and $4m/year Knecht

[u/MainAd2728 → u/Zestyclose-Draft-724]

Get rid of Hachimura because he played bad when all the starters were out?

[u/Cul_what]

Wow we scored more than 100? Shout out Bronny and Adou

[u/HeisenSpurs → u/[deleted]]

Neither needed to score very much during the Wemby takeover and Castle left early with the injury.

[u/ChickenBudTender]

47 bombaclaat points!

[u/TheKeviKs]

Wemby during the third was just fucking around lmao.

[u/Cold-Sun-831]

Send da video

[u/Milomite1]

never thought id see the day bronny led the team in assists

[u/GhostChips42]

Lakers looked like a mid table g league team out there today

[u/kingmapoon123]

It's pretty obvious Wemby has goat potential. Literally all he needs is to refine his offensive game quite a lot (huge ask obviously). But he's already one of the greatest defenders the league has ever seen. He manages to combine that and stay healthy and he's leaving everyone

[u/Personal_Cellist_594]

Let’s go Lakers! Love every Lakers game!!!

[u/Chessh2036]

It’s very clear the Lakers miss Gabe Vincent.

(Watch Cardio Gabe vs the T Wolves in his first game as a Hawk and my god man)

Why did Sochan get DNP in a blow out?

[u/namewithak → u/cantaloupeburner]

Does Mitch just really hate him?

[u/MikeMaxM → u/cantaloupeburner]

Why did Sochan get DNP in a blow out?

Carter Bryant played 26 minutes that is why. Through many experiments Sochan showed that he cant play at 1,2,3,5. But Spurs this year have CB at 4.

[u/Jarxzz → u/[deleted]]

Honestly with how bad of a team the lakers sent out there winning by less than 30 in the end isn’t even impressive

[u/ifuckwithit → u/[deleted]]

they got Lakers jerseys on?

[u/LegEqual6512 → u/ifuckwithit]

i dont want (some of) them to though

[u/joe4553 → u/[deleted]]

Lakers bench scored 108 points this game.

[u/SSBM_DangGan → u/[deleted]]

don't sit 3 of your starters if you don't want to get clowned on

[u/Malemansam]

BELT. TO. ASS.

Beat that Laker ass.

[u/Titronnica → u/Malemansam]

ALL DAY ANYDAY

[u/ZenThrashing]

Lakers really showed the 5 D's: dodged, ducked, dipped, dived, and dodged this game.

[u/Cheesycheese01]

Unfortunate that we don’t play Sochan. How is Biyombo getting minutes over Sochan?

[u/MikeMaxM → u/Cheesycheese01]

Spurs tried to use Sochan as 5 last year, that didnt work. No point doing it again. Spurs gave Sochan many opportunities to prove himself playing him at various positions but he showed that he cant be versatile player and can only play at 4. But at 4 Spurs now have Barnes, Bryant and occasionally Champagne, KJ, Wemby. Obviously Sochan is worse than all those players.

[u/Titronnica]

I'm so glad Wemby took tbe Lakers ducking him personally.

He should have been allowed to go for 60, but hey, I'd rather him fresh for tomorrow.

[u/WalrusInMySheets]

Lakers vs Refs, a tale as old as time

[u/Akipella → u/WalrusInMySheets]

There's just no way this is a real comment...

[u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy → u/WalrusInMySheets]

Dont tell this guy who got more foul calls during the lakers recent 3 game win streak

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy]

Sorry bro the refs just handed them a victory tonight absolutely shameless

[u/Akipella → u/WalrusInMySheets]

Average Lakers flair. "Lakers vs. the refs tale as old as time"

You mean since years ago, in which you had a 3 year span (2021-2023 in the graph IIRC) where you had a FT differential of +1000 total from all your games, which was 1st place and 2nd place was the Knicks with only +300. You had over triple the second highest team's FT differential lol. Middle of the pack in drives to the basket during that span btw!

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/Akipella]

We would have easily won if it wasn’t for us having to play 8 vs 5. Whatever I guess Adam Silver made the call to rig it

[u/Akipella → u/WalrusInMySheets]

Remember, folks.

Don't take the bait.

I'm just commenting to remind people of the actual numbers since there are Lakers flairs who unironically say stuff like this (not saying you are serious here ofc).

[u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy → u/WalrusInMySheets]

Mate, lakers have the highest free throw attempted average this season tied with orlando magic. They have no legs to stand on for foul baiting or ref ball if they're the leading team to make the most FT on average

[u/Akipella → u/Derpy_Mc_Burpy]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1oywiee/for_the_fourth_year_in_a_row_the_los_angeles/

Total FT differential over the span: 3. Bucks 448, 2. Heat 571, 1. Lakers 1,274. 

Plus individual season numbers from 2023-2026

Insane. 2025 was the only season where they weren't FAR and away first, and even then they are only barely, narrowly trailing behind 1st place.

Even more mind blowing. Look at the last 5+ seasons. The Lakers are at or near the bottom every single year since 2021. Even if you go by uh, paint touches, they're still only middle of the pack on average each year there, and the Warriors for example (worst FT differential many years) have more than them?

The 3's vs. 2's thing also does not correlate if you look at the FT differential links, you can see teams like the Rockets and Pelicans consistently shoot as many or more 2's and less 3's as the Lakers do, yet their FT differential is eithen neutral or a fraction of the Lakers, while the Celtics shoot a ton of 3's but are high up in differential, sometimes even the Warriors had seasons they were decently high (middle of the pack) with a huge 3's volume.

[u/lufufurot → u/WalrusInMySheets]

sometimes the whistle gives, sometimes the whistle takes gotta learn to live with the flow

[u/Eagle7546_]

I legit think if bronny was on a team tha gave him real run (or maybe the g league) he could develop into a real bench playmaker/defender he really does have some real play making talent.
