I'm calling PLAYOFFS!
Coach Popp is the most overrated coach in history. He doesn't know how to use Wemby
Great game.
4th option behind WHO? Tre And DVass? I get he’s a rookie but damn. He probably just wanted to SAY that, just cause he wanted.
Pop let the bums get more shots than the guy with all time talent. Wemby needs to be taking 20 shots minimum
Wemeby is playing for the worst team previous yr tho and because of him the game look close he just played like 23 min he is really the next lebron tho like the best player has to go to the worst team but if he was selected by avg team he would have scored 40 tho this derick lively looks good but he ain’t even close to wembey he just played with good players like Kyrie and Luka wemeby is alone like Jeremy sochan is also a 20 yr old drafted in 2022 spurs only have two good rookies they don’t have experience players or veteran players tho they need to trade and get an experienced player for getting a championship this yr
Not impressive expected more from no. 1 pick gotta get that man the ball or he gotta go into his A.I. Mode And not pass it. Iverson still holds title for highest rookie scoring opening game
You could see that doncic is really a seasoned player😊
Lots of BS soft fouls called on Wemby. Ruined the rhythm of game.
Man had 5 TOs and 5 fouls, and morons in the comments are wondering why he wasn't getting the ball.
Luka and Kyrie barely beat a bunch of 20 year olds. The Mavs aren’t even a play-in team.
Mavs gave up only 75 points in 3 Q of basketball. People just hold on to the negatives with this team and find the positives in the Lakers, Celtics and other teams. It's sad realty, Mavs are a very good team that is being disrespected.
Wemby is so unusually agile for his height and has a very smooth game. Reminds me of a taller version of KD tbh

Victor will be unstoppable. His stroke is so smooth and his release is so high. Close to unblockable
Overrated!
He played 23 minutes lol he’s 19 terrible
Luka and Dallas have to feel like yesterday's news now.
I was watching the 1st two quarters and he barely touched the ball
His teammates jealous of him. 😂 haters didnt want to win. They just wanted highlights
Crazy how all these fools wanna talk about wemby when Luka and Jokic still exist…#racism
Americans are jealous of wemby. Especially that wannabe rodman.
Popo has always been a "team oriented" kind of coach, but Wemby is a generational talent, so Popo needs to start creating plays for him, and running the offense thru him. San Antonio has never have a player like Wemby. (Yes, I know… I said it… better than Timmy, Leonard and Parker) Popo really needs to give it a lot of thought!
the stick man yama
Just so worried about his longevity with his body type
This poor young man has to be the – by far – most overhyped player ever. I hope he's not negatively affected by it and stays humble.
The exaggerated hype got so bad any news covering him start to piss me off, even when he obviously has the chance to become a great player.
I like this young man and i wish him the best, but i can't stand watching these media clowns drooling over him anymore.
Jokic had a 29 point trip dub
He looked really good out there. He’s gonna end up dominating like Lebron did I hope that doesn’t happen for nba parity
Can Luka get some MVP consideration this year. The guy had a freaking triple double with 30+ points
I didnt understand why they had him come back in the 1st qrtr after he had already picked up his 1st foul. I would of just kept him out so he would have 2 fouls to play with in the second. Once he picked up that 2nd in the 1st qrtr it down hill foul wise from there but he snapped in the 4th qrtr and he did shoot like 6/9. and him being on the court completely f’s up the passing lanes for the other team because u never know when hes going to deflect something rather it be a pass or shot
Jokic had a triple-double season opener…. 29pts 13rebs 11ast
It seems Tre Jones and Zach Collins are the only Spurs who can pass
The truth is, Lively was the best rookie last night.
