Who else is disappointed in Spurs? Not about their standings because it's obvious that they're one from the bottom now but about the recent actions of Wemby's teammates, Vassell, Johnson, and Sochan. This team has no superstar but the moves of these three were too obvious with Wemby. They're not passing him the ball despite his open positions and good plays that can be done. It seems that they cannot see him inside and outside the ring and they won't pass the ball.

Even the commentators have noticed those good plays that can be done with him for being open. I think that this team is seeing the best for their players and Pop should have noticed it already and he has allowed that to happen. There can be so much improvement from these boys but I think what the team needs is to hone Wemby together with this but if not, they have to trade these players that seen to have selfish plays and just get one veteran that's good in assisting and can all of his teammates that are open and to make better plays with them. It's just disappointing that they're like that but it is what it is.

There are some videos online regarding this one.

There are some possessions of the Spurs where Wemby is free at the paint, but they refuse to pass it to him. There are some possessions where he can get the ball when they pass it to him because his defender is way smaller than him, but instead, the ball handler chooses to pass it to the wrong person. I mean what's wrong with them? Is this what Coach Pop is teaching to his team? Is there some kind of jealousy going on with the team because they already know that Wemby will be the face of their team a few years from now?

Whatever happens with the team, I guess let's just not stress ourselves on them because, in the end, Wemby will be the face of the Spurs, and what they need are players who will compliment him. Trade those players who aren't fit for him.

Christmas day match-up, a lot of good games to watch,

Nuggets vs Warriors - GSW a change team after the Draymond incident, winning back-to-back.
Lakers vs Celtics - Lakers have the homecourt advantage
Knicks vs Bucks - Knicks looking to bounce back, will be at MSG
Suns vs Mavs - Suns on a losing streak, and we all know that there's no love lost between Luka and Booker

Nuggets - Warriors - Since Green's suspension, they are playing way better now. It seems like the change of starter helped them. Thompson seems to be getting his momentum already as he played better on their winning streak. TBH, I'll go with the Warriors on this one even though they are against Jokic and Murray. Let that streak continue. Cheesy

Lakers - Celtics - Classic match-up, but I'll go with the Celtics on this one even though they will be playing on the road.
Knicks - Bucks - It's hard to predict TBH, but I'll go with the Bucks on this one. Cheesy

Suns - Mavericks - The Father-Son duel will happen again Cheesy

. I think I'll watch this one, and will look at how Booker and Doncic play. I'll go with the Mavericks on this one.

Pistons update again.

They're now on a 26-game losing streak, tied with the 2nd most currently that the 2010-2011 Cavaliers made. The current record is 28, and the next 2 games of the Pistons are against the Nets on their home, and against the Celtics on the road. They have a slight chance of ending that streak on their home against the Nets, but if I'm the bettor, I will go with the Nets with this one. The Pistons will lose to the Celtics that's for sure, and if the streak continues, they have a chance to break that record and continue it to 29 straight losses on their home against the Raptors.

As a Pistons fan, how could you see your team breaking the record for most consecutive losses, and take note that it might happen at their home? For sure, fans will boo them big time if that happens.
