Time now for your meaningless stat of the night: Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama is averaging 20.9 points per game & he’s averaging at least 20 ppg on every day of the week…except Tuesdays. He’s averaged just 15.6 ppg in his 5 Tuesday games. #Rockets #Spurs8:01 PM

Say you’ve been saving up until you meet The One, and then you do.
Would be fun to spend a bunch of it on the dream wedding/honeymoon, but probably smarter to put it toward a house and save some for a long future together.

For the afternoon crowd; How Rockets’ Jalen Green has shown improvement during recent run. Has he turned a corner? Will it last? houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… via @houstonchron – 6:03 PM

Pop has said often Wemby faces a learning curve defensively because he isn’t familiar with opponents’ tendencies.
But the 7-foot-3 rookie is a quick study.
On Wemby’s terrific shot-blocking tear:

Victor Wembanyama is making an admirable run at Defensive Player of the Year, but it’s coming a bit too late
