Just one word ... WEMBY!

Las Vegas - Just one word ... Wemby! Everyone saw the vicious elbow that Victor Wembanyama threw at Naz Reid. Ejecting him was the right call and not suspending him was also the right call. If you looked really close before Wemby threw the elbow, both Reid and Jaden McDaniels were scratching, slapping, holding and choking him. Not saying the elbow was correct, but the kid got frustrated and just let it fly. He will not do that again. Also believe that he will be AMPED for game five and expecting Wemby fireworks. His stats in game one were kinda lousy (11 points, 15 rebounds), but he came back in game two with 19 points and 15 boards. Game three was OFF the charts, with 39 points and 15 more rebounds. Looking for something in between games two and three. Let's say 31 points and 14 off the glass. And before we go, check this out. San Antonio does NOT like to lose and HATES to lose back-to-back games. Since the middle of January, the Spurs have a pitched 9-0 perfecto coming off a loss. Yeah, NINE & OH. Not thrilled laying double digits, so gimme the kids from San Antonio, but on the money line.
