Obviously Wemby will be great one day but he struggled in this game. Rob and Hartenstein just bullied the kid. Kind of reminded me of Jordan getting beat up by the Bad Boys back in the day for some reason. But Wemby will get stronger and own the league. Too talented and hardworking and SA is such a great organization for him not to succeed. But the expectations are almost unfair. He needs to duplicate or eclipse Duncan and that's going to be tough.

But good win! Finally we had a good game from three hitting 19/42! It's not the norm but a good sign they are starting to fall. I think the drive and kick game is starting to click on offense. Another great game by RJ. Kid is a character foundation! Hardworking, improves every season, no drama, just a fun kid to root for! Good to see Randle have a good game too! I was a little worried he was going to play wild and try to upstage Wemby but he played within the team and took good shots and played with a nice rhythm and hit some big shots late in the 4th when the Spurs were starting to come back. Nice game by Brunson too! Hit 3 straight threes and that one over Wemby was nice! IQ dominated when he was out there and good start by Grimes hitting those 2 threes to start the game.

4-4 is right where I thought we'd be after 8 games. I think the early season jitters and preseason mode are over and this team has found a nice flow.

I wish I could say it was fun to watch, but it was a complete blow-out end to end. Wemby got manhandled and seemed rattled. Fun to win these, but not that enjoyable a game.

Loved the ball movement, defense and (finally) excellent shooting. If we could reliably get this type of performance in most games, I'd up my win projection to 50+.

We are not used to this. I didn't make it past the first half and then I needed a nap cause I'm old

Except... Rodman played over 40mpg that season! and Mitch is under 30mpg. Pretty incredible when you think of it.

Mitch's transformation has been astounding to me. I'm still flabbergasted.

Mitch with another stellar performance - squishing Wemby.

When I saw ESPN I immediately hit the MUTE button and I would do that even with Breen but when I noticed Hubie I turned up volume and enjoyed his commentary. Was thankful I didn’t have to hear Breen/Doris/Doc licking Wemby’s feet all night and Breen seemed less about blowing Wemby smoke but allowing Hubie to shine.
