He didn’t record it. He made the plays while somebody else recorded it. What if they had missed a couple of plays?

That’s there story of the greatest quadruple double.

And I’ll not bagging on anybody that takes the Spurs under. I find a lot of analysts doing that (and some taking over as a lock).

I want to see spurs kill it because I’m a fan but also because I think it’s a fools errand to underestimate Wemby & the Spurs Org.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 1d

The predictions are really consistent with predictions on other episodes about team success. I feel like the Spurs will excel, for reasons I’ve given. But Wemby’s position in the league (e.g. MVP votes) could depend on 3 point shooting from other players.

In addition to Castle (knee), the Spurs will also be without Fox (hamstring), Harper (thumb), McLaughlin (hamstring), Sochan (calf), Olynyk (heel) and Vassell (healthy scratch). Vassell is expected to play at Miami on Wednesday, though.

Tonight's Silver & Black game will mark Victor Wembanyama's first time in uniform at the Frost Bank Center since Jan. 31.

That night, he totaled 30 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks in the Spurs' 144-118 demolition of Milwaukee. Click the link! below for more ...

It is not uncommon for star players and those coming off injury to be held out of the Spurs' Silver & Black scrimmage.

Victor Wembanyama vows coach Mitch Johnson won't be able to keep him out of Saturday's edition.

"I'm not leaving him a choice," Vic said.

7th, Devin hasn’t had a healthy offseason in a while. That’s an important part of development. I think he’ll be better he had the chance to work on new things.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 5d

The biggest reason they would struggle to get over is the competition, West is so good.

6th, warriors, lakers, wolves, mavs have old/injury-prone guys, one of them will disappoint (not sure which one, but somebody gonna drop out).

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 5d

5th, did you see Wemby? Bigger, faster, stronger, smarter, trained with the best this summer (KG, Hakeem, Bonner - don’t laugh, he’ll hit more 3s)

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 5d

4th, defense will be scary better: Sean Sweeney asst coach, Kornett when Wemby sits allows more pressure on outside, 2 new strong defenders (Bryant/Harper) when Sochan or Castle miss a game.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 5d

3rd, Kornett & Olynyk are upgrades over Collins & Bassey on offense and defense.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 5d

2nd, Fox is a big upgrade from CP3 (who plays too slow for a young team, young team in half court is tough).

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 5d

1st, spurs 34 wins last season was much lower than I should have been. Pop’s stroke, interim coach for 70+ games, Vic’s DVT. Should have been 40 wins. 40 to 45 isn’t a ten game jump.

They do over under for the west conference. I thought they had the Spurs low when I am higher (I’m a bias fan, what do you expect).

Players and coaches have said, repeatedly, that the game has gotten too physical and the refs need to do a better job.
Now that Napheesa Collier has been injured, maybe the league will finally listen.

Some named after San Diego neighborhoods (KL2 Hillcrest, KL2 Northpark), some named for purpose (KL2 Connect), etc. prolly worth investigating too.

It’s obvious that you hate vulgar displays.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 21d

See what? That free speech will get stomped or not? Guess what? It’s getting stomped. Just be hopeful that your speech is safe enough to keep you from what ever negative thing they can do to you.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 21d

Free speech is not disorderly conduct. Free speech is disruptive. Safe speech needs no protection.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 21d

He didn’t disrupt any university program or event. He did something at a random student activity that people didn’t like. I didn’t like it. What he did was disgusting. But it’s protected free speech. Disorderly conduct has to have meaning.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 21d

“…, that interferes with the university’s programs or activities”

No university program, no university activity, then it’s not subject to that rule.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 21d

Everything that Damphousse says indicates that he doesn’t like it.

That’s the test of free speech. If I can’t say something because you don’t like it, I don’t have free speech. Charlie Kirk had it until somebody didn’t like it and killed him.

Dave McNulla @mcnulla.bsky.social · 21d

Hard to prove.

Not in the classroom, not an official event for the university (like graduation ceremony).
