Hey, this story about trust and pride and darkness and a loose cow now is also about the NBA Sixth Man of the Year. Pretty cool for that area buckaroo.

I am highly doubtful Wemby plays in Game 3.

Depends. In this hypothetical situation, do I love my children?

After head injury, Wemby Watch officially on in San Antonio The Spurs' chances in their playoff series with Portland could come down to Victor Wembanyama's concussion tests

Nearly a decade ago, the Spurs' last deep playoff run all but ended when Zaza Pachulia slid under the feet of Kawhi Leonard.

The circumstances are different this time, but you can forgive Spurs fans their flashbacks.

Wemby Watch is officially on in San Antonio:

Why after Victor Wembanyama’s tumble, time for Spurs to get back up What the Spurs need to figure out is whether the last eight minutes of Game 2 were a sign of more trouble to come.

It all can end, just like that.

With one horrific bounce of a chin off a hardwood floor, a whole plan can fall apart, and Fiesta can turn into Dia de los Playoff Muertos.

The good news is Victor Wembanyama got back up.

Now the Spurs have to do the same.

3 Takeaways as Spurs lose Game 2, Wembanyama With Victor Wembanyama out for the second half, the Spurs wilt down the stretch in a 106-103 loss that evened the series with Portland

The (taking it on the chin) triple take: Blazers 106, Spurs 103

1. Spurs needed more from everyone to survive Wemby's absence

2. The other high lottery pick from the 2023 draft had a night

3. Vassell deserved his moment, but the basketball gods are cruel

In addition to Mitch Johnson’s answer to @tomorsborn.bsky.social at the presser, two other Spurs officials have been even more definitive:

Wemby did not break his jaw. He did not go to the hospital. No matter what you read on the Internet.

Victor Wembanyama reacts to unanimous DPOY selection: 'No place for debate.' Forget Defensive Player of the Year. Victor Wembanyama aims to be Defensive Player of the Decade.

"It's the first of many."

Forget Defensive Player of the Year. Victor Wembanyama aims to become Defensive Player of the Decade.

Same as all season, I reckon

As Wemby and the Spurs get their feet wet, playoff fun begins After scoring 35 points in his NBA postseason debut, Victor Wembanyama aims to give the Spurs a 2-0 lead over the Blazers

"We've been really great in the regular season. So we had no reason to act differently or do anything different.”

After Sunday, Victor Wembanyama is no longer a playoff newbie, and neither are any of his teammates.

What that means headed to Game 2 vs Portland:

Keldon Johnson's first career postseason FG: A buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the first-quarter horn.

Y'all ready for this?

Welcome back to the NBA playoffs, San Antonio!

Fresh off the rack.
Here we go!

Why the Spurs, full of championship hope, can save logic for later When the Spurs' playoff run ends, there will be ample time for perspective, but for now, there's no harm in staying unreasonable and partaking in the hope of a championship.

When it ends, there will be ample time for perspective. And for logic. And for gratitude.

When it ends, the Spurs can think rationally about how far ahead of schedule they already are.

But between now and then?

There’s no harm in staying unreasonable.
