Victor Wembanyama’s Adjustments Should TERRIFY The NBA
So, in his last four games, Wimby’s averaging 27 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, three blocks, 50, 41, 100 shooting splits. That’s nice. Good to see Wim getting his groove back. How many games you say? Four. Four. That’s [ __ ] nice. Not enough of a sample size. I’m saying they only played 12. So, yeah, I just No, he’s playing great. No, I’m just I just wanted I thought it was No, he’s playing great. It’s good to see have the backto-back loss to the Suns and Lakers last week. We were all in the arena. Y’all were drawing up plays, shooting jumpers for various portions of the couch. Good to see De Fox back. I think that’s helping him a lot. Help him for sure. And just still just doing his thing. I think we talked about him earlier in the week. Oh man, that’s exactly what we talked about, right? Yeah. Defox coming in and then everything changing, making sure he can get to his spots, open the floor up. Yeah. Yeah. Defox also helping out Stefan Castle. Cast I think was averaging six assists, five turnovers prior to De Fox coming. Now he’s averaging 11 assists and just 1.7 turnovers in three games they’ve played together two of those three. Huh? Fox moving around. Say it again. He’s averaging less turnovers. Who is Castle’s averaging six assists, five turnovers without Dear Fox in the lineup. The their last three games together, Castle was averaging 11 assists and just 1.7 turnovers. And what is Fox averaging? My numbers dipped a little bit because of that Warriors game, but the first two games he came back it was uh 23 points assists and turnover rats. Just four assists. Four what? Yep. Four assists, four turnovers. Which one? Let me pull it up. [ __ ] want to bother me. If he was averaging five and then now I relieve him. Do I am I inherent? H who’s the assist is still there or the turnovers? So in three games he’s averaging uh four assists and and Uh-huh. Uhhuh. They see he’s smiling in five turnovers. In five turnovers. Okay. So, I just took the turnovers from you and just put it on myself cuz I’m a playmaker now cuz he’s a true point guard. And then Castle went from six assist to 11 point cuz he’s a slasher. Yeah. But I’m just saying he’s at his true position. He’s like a Jimmy Butler with the Bulls. Yeah. He like to pass and slash. He can’t really shoot like that. So, he gets open spots and he find Wimby, find the corner guys. Dear Fox is more focused on getting to the rim, getting his bucket. He will turn that [ __ ] over just like every other point guard to just try to score. You ain’t got nothing to say. No, I’m just saying the question was about women. Four assists, five turnovers. A true point. That’s a good thing. Bad thing. Four assists, five turnovers. Sounds good. Are we trying to say I I remember people was saying Fox need to move around the league. Four assists, five turnovers is what he’s averaging. But also for three games, three, but also 19 points assist 19 points. But he been out for a minute turnover. He a 19 still. No, no. What I’m saying is he’s not doing nothing different than the other person was doing. The other person was actually having a better ratio at point. But now this other person has nearly doubled their assist. He’s looking he’s The problem is you Wimby had one bad game and then would and then they try to blow it up like he’s figured out. That’s the problem. Well, two two underperforming games. Two underperforming games. So the amazing amazing games that he was having and then he had two welcome back to Earth games and now he’s back in in Mars. That’s that’s what this is. like you tried to make it seem like he’s getting they they figured him out. They locked him down. We didn’t make it seem like we just merely asked the question. That’s why there’s a question mark on it. It was not We actually broke the [ __ ] down that um when Fox comes back open up the play and they’re going to figure out how to adjust and they did. Wasn’t no down to earth nothing. It was wi look you turn we turning the ball over because we’re trying to force this [ __ ] Let’s find out what they’re doing. Let’s adjust. Here’s the adjustment. Hey D Fox, you see they they got to respect you now. At the point, Castle, they got to respect you at the shooting guard, not the point. It’s a big difference when we talking who we watching the games. [ __ ] look different. It ain’t the same. It ain’t crowded. They not sitting in there. They can’t run the old school defense the way they had planned because now we got different options. I’m just I’m glad all that Fox hate is put to rest right now. That’s what I’m glad about. Who’s hating on him? Everybody was just saying Star Harper and all that. They don’t need him. I was star who Harper got Harper dealing with trade them. I’m I’m I’m so confused here. It’s what I’m hearing is one thing. Right. I’m I’m hearing, okay, Fox came in and I think I’m hearing he’s he has 20 assists, three turnovers. Right. Right. He’s he’s getting the ball, flinging it, and everybody’s in heightened. What I’m looking at is 13 assists, 14 turnovers, which means the ball is just flinging. No different than it was before. Just out there trying to make [ __ ] happen. Force feed the guy. No different than the last person that did it. It’s very different. It’s very different. Fox 13 turnover. Very different. If you’re just going to do public opinion watching, you’re just going to watch the game and say, “Look at the box score.” Yeah. Let’s just say off the box score. Let’s be lazy. Let’s not watch the game. Them D Aaron Fox turnovers are not just slinging the roll around. He’s being aggressive. He’s being the point guard. He’s doing his going to be a a combo guy. He’s trying to get to his spots. He’s doing his thing. The same thing Castle was doing. Turn the other ball over. But you got to respect. Now Castle’s in a different position where I’m not going to turn the ball over like that because I’m playing in my position where I get clean dishes. Boom. Boom. 34 assists and five turnovers in that same three game sample. So 34 assist that. So it sounds I can see if it sounded like this. My real point guard, right? What are we trying? My real point guard came back and I’m averaging and those same things. What? What again? What are you saying? 34 assists and what? They were playing well. It sounds like that’s what Fox supposed to be. I have no idea. But it’s not. You’re doing the same thing the last person did. But Wimy’s back playing good. Wimy’s playing good cuz we have our guy who I said he’s going to create space for Wimby to have better options. Go play golf. But so wait, hold on. So yeah, I just I get it. Wait, hold on. So the Spurs are what right now? What? Eight. Eight and two or nine or nine and three or whatever. So out of those n out of those first what 12 games had. Okay. So out of those games, what he had maybe two bad games, three bad games. Who? Yes. Wimby. No, two decent games. I mean too bad back 30 40 30 40 30 40 and then you go to 20 and 20 and then the 18 it’s a bad game and they figured you out. Okay. Oh that’s what we trying to say here. Yeah. Okay. So but at the end of the day they had nine nine 19 22 and 18. Yeah just don’t listen. Okay. Okay. Is that nine points against the Suns 19 against those wins or loss? Oh those were back to back losses. Two back to back. And which one? Suns and Lakers. Suns and Lakers. Had nine against the Suns, 19 against the Lakers. Both of those were losses. And then they won Houston. And then they won. They won the next three games. Hold on. Whoa, whoa, hold on. Hold on. Let’s Cuz neither one of them teams have anybody to figure [ __ ] out when it come to Wimby. He just [ __ ] played bad. So they threw I don’t want no threw [ __ ] at him he had seen before. They threw [ __ ] at him that he hadn’t seen before. Uh-huh. Nobody else was doing that. Like, you mean to tell them Don went out there and did anything with [ __ ] win? Switch switch front. He ain’t changed the defense. They They keep the defense on. Not everybody going to adopt the same. I didn’t watch the games. I watched it. Boxes and we watched it. How about this? How about this? I don’t know. Show it again. I’m just saying two teams that he played that the so-called bad games against. So, he had nine points and then 19 points. So, what was his other stats? Rebounds, blocks, lot. Give me those, please. One of y’all give me those. Nine points, nine rebounds, two assists against the Suns. Hold on, y’all. Nine points, nine rebounds, two assists against the Suns, 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists. How many blocks? Uh, he had four blocks against the Suns, one block against the easy. So, was the Laker game here? The L. So, he went out. No, no, no. He don’t go out. No. He was getting baguettes. That’s went out. He can’t do that. We’ve been doing it. [ __ ] go to Miami. [ __ ] go to certain place. [ __ ] don’t play. Well, in the history of game, [ __ ] went to Toronto. [ __ ] go to place. [ __ ] play, man. [ __ ] like, “Oh, he was in the city.” The commentators clearly say JJ has adopted what the [ __ ] Suns just did the last game. So nobody else they are now being successful. Nobody else [ __ ] win be work. So how many games they had since those two games? So hold on. Four games two games. How many games have they played? They play four games that how many games have they played since those two games? They played four games. They’re three and one in those four games. And he is doing what? So the rest of the league didn’t adapt adop because they don’t he just played bad 50 41 100 let me let’s do what they did it seemed to work no no what happened was but you know San Antonio was going to make an adjustment and that’s what they said the other team did can you play what did when he was playing they did that [ __ ] he was trying to post up let’s show what Wendy Wimby decided to do play the video I guess he adjusted I guess they video. Show the video so we can see what Wimy did. You remember him trying to post up and you wanted to corral him and do all that [ __ ] Let’s show what Wimby did. Show the [ __ ] We show what Wimby did. Oh [ __ ] can’t catch me. S blue. He must pass and said now I’m cool. Bonjour. You got to worry about that. We talking about that offense volleyball. Here we go. Keep that with me here [ __ ] He open shot. Take the easy shot. The open shot. Okay. He ain’t going to help. Heha. Why would you throw him a chest? Got him. Spinny. He Okay. Okay. Double here. Got him. Lay bucket. Bingo. Yeah. Y’all want Y’all want to do what again? Let me bring this on the court. Oh, you about to pick me up. Pass that. They going to double in the post. They going to double me in the post. I know what to do now. I can do that. I adjusted. I’mma put him to sleep. I’mma put him to sleep. I’m going put him to sleep. Look, the first drill was to put this right here. No, stay stay. No, they going to double. They going to double that first dribble to put you to sleep. You can’t double that cuz Do y’all got the Suns footage? No. Bring up the Suns footage. Y’all bring up the Suns footage. Let’s compare that. Let’s compare. Let’s debunk that. I don’t think he wants that. No. Matter of fact, look. Hey, y’all got Won’t y’all just Won’t y’all just look into this? Why don’t you just look into this? Won’t you just bump into the light? We’re going to forget about this whole thing. Okay. I I know you hope. Okay. One, two, three. That thing got All right. What did the sun We going to forget about that? Cuz this is just You going to make y’all What? You want to show the sun’s highlight? Jesus Christ. Cuz if the son’s highlight don’t look like Jesus Christ, he just talk loud and move fast. All that [ __ ] that work for these young kids. They ain’t got no [ __ ] brain. We talking about who? We talking who? That’s crazy, bro. It’s a completely different game. Completely. Completely. The Suns did different [ __ ] Spurs did different [ __ ] This is Wendy scoring in transition, my [ __ ] It wasn’t no [ __ ] nothing on the post. That was Come on, man. Let’s talk pass. Here we go. I’m getting doubled in the post these two games. So, I’m not going to What’s the adjustment? I’m not going to go in the post. What’s the adjustment? I’m not going to go in the post. What’s the adjustment? I’m not going to go in the post. What’s the adjustment? I’m not going to go in the post movement, bro. I mean, isn’t that what it is? Like, let’s if I post up and you double me and that affecting me, my adjustment is stay on the perimeter and shake these dudes. What did that show? A quick shot. On the perimeter, shake these dudes. I’m not going to go in the post where they can double me like it affected me. But you said, “Hey, Wendy, when you’re in the post, turn and just look over these niggas.” So you said when you’re in the post, what he do if they double him in the post, right? So now the adjustment wasn’t in the post at all. For him, he adjusted by going back to the perimeter. That’s what he did and taking what you as the ability to double. Yes. Right. Yeah. what you were saying just when the double just No, I’m saying what he should do with if you’re coming turn and face if you’re going to play in that area. He decided to adjust and not play in that area. Like you not you haven’t realized that. Cooking with Larry t-shirts in the description. Y’all go check them out. I hope you can go get the shirts. I give you a double warehouse. Shout out to Male. Shout out to MueL. Um he waved the roll off of that. Yeah. All that whatever y’all talking about, man. That boy just had two bad games. Yeah. Thank you. Well, that’s two decent games. Two. What? Nine points is bad for him. That’s a bad game. 19 not a bad second. Third. What? I’m not buying that JK Ready nor that [ __ ] Phoenix Suns did anything to this man other than he didn’t play well. Well, let’s talk about some more bad games to keep this thing moving. But first, today’s show is sponsored by Rough Greens. Sometimes in life, if you want to get to the truth,

Wait weren't yall the ones saying he was figured out
Now since Fox is there, Castle wants to pass the ball. The Spurs will lose on purpose by not putting Fox in the proper rotations.
6:36 As a kings fan Fox isn’t a “real point guard” stop saying ts, castle is more of one than him, he’s a A.i/ Donovan Mitchell type he just a short scorer
Swaggy nailed Gils animations lolol
Why do I smell hate in the room? The moment they listed out Wemby’s stats, the room got real quiet.
I get it. D.Fox ain’t the PG they actually need, because he do what Castle be doing at PG but without him Castle have to be the PG because Harper is not HIM just yet. If they can trade Fox for somebody better handling the ball and score every now and then than sure. Idk who’s better thats availlable now, maybe T.Young? That’s just a maybe though
11:31 Gil so annoying 😂😂
Nick talking about u scared the sht out of me 😂😅
I Saw Something 👁️🤯👁️ A sports betting holy grail !!! 💰
Are they intoxicated? Jesus two cant talk and one has a crown on. Then on top of that the flow of the show is like 5 guys high as shit trying to talk.
He never get the ball in the post he scared to be a big man
12:49 like father like son
Castle’s pick, roll, lob game is really good.
not gon hold you, Fox came back and fxcked up our flow
They don't watch the game 😂😂😂
They are still figuring things out, especially now that De'Aaron Fox is back. The season is still young. They will be in the mix come playoff time…
13:07 Nick got scared this man is a fool 😂😂😂😂
0:27 lmao what
I’m crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nick something else
12:47 best moment of the pod
They may want to smoke after filming the episodes. I thought maybe there was a gas leak because most of them looked so tired, but noticed the glazed eyes. Only McCants appeared to be prepared for this episode.
Castle is running the point!
C. Bryant must play more, as the 3nD wing.
Draymond locked him up
WEMBY SHOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE
Rashad got y'all on this one
Broo Gil might be the most inconsistent when it comes to common sense lol
Why does anyone watch this shit? They clearly don’t even watch the game much less even being informed of anything
McCants is carrying the show ✅
Gills face the whole time 😂😂😂
Yall are missing the point completely the difference is Fox you can’t double Wemby anymore because you can’t leave Fox or the others open and Castle is coming into his own as a playmaker/Slasher and Vassell didn’t play because of the migraine. The spurs are gonna be scary out in the playoffs
These titles be so ahh now
Isn’t this the pod that said they figured wemby out?? The main source??
Gil tweakin
how did gil make this about what HE wanted to talk about. he always is just talking about something else. JO PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE.
they all sound hella high
Nick killed Gil off with the mimic 😂😂😂😂
yall gotta stop blazing up before these sessions damn everyone looks lost lmao
That spurs back court is deep !
Dummies there is a such thing as good turnovers. If castle is playing better with fox obviously he making him better.. I will take those turnovers
Can someone wake swaggy up? Listening to his early morning vocal fry is painful.
0:27 Never seen a funnier moment of someone giving up on tryna explain something🤣🤣
Ngl Rashad so far this season has been cooking with some takes.
Shad is correct. Castle is better as an off ball guard, not the point.
These mf just be talking only one person making sense
Kenyon on the dumb shit. The man clearly said D Fox opening the game up for everyone cause they in their natural responsibilities. That's why they're 3-1 it was more than just a bad game.
Kenyon lowkey the worse person on the show. He act like sitting on a couch getting paid to talk basketball is a mf chore. Gtfoh
McCants been on his shit lately
It’s kind of amazing how low-effort this show is lol
Id like to see wemby grab more offensive rebounds.
