8 defeats in a row, 180° turn, course for Victor Wembanyama

Pour beer too quickly into a mug and you will only get foam. ” But it’s not possible ! Couldn’t that beer disappear?! I only have foam! ». Just wait a bit and the foam will disappear in favor of the amber liquid you were crying seconds earlier slouching on the counter. The masks always end up falling.

A chapô who do not want to start the week, and Spurs who have finally launched a series of defeats synonymous with Wembanyamesque ambitions. In San Antonio, we do not forget where we come from and even less where we are going: eight consecutive defeats, the last Saturday night against the Lakers, and a 14th place in the West restorative of a beginning season too committed. The executives eased off, like a Keldon Johnson very disgusting on this series, only 38/124 in shooting, or 31% in shooting over the last eight meetings. The Texans had however started the season by surfing the wave of a candidate for the Playoffs: five wins for two losses, players involved, Jakob Poeltl among the best interiors in the League (we force the line). They finally remembered – much helped by the Stats Center by Betclic Elite at the moment – ​​that a Victor Wembanyama only passed once every X years. And if we put « X »it is so as not to have to release a number that we would consider too low, and which others would use to denounce our presumption: “Wé TrashTalk, he still has nothing to prove Victor Wembalaga”.

Should we expect Spurs to raise the bar and still play the Top 10 as if their lives depended on it? Clearly not. The story seems closed, the competition curtain is drawn, San Antonio will no longer leave the depths of the Western Conference. A trip to Oklahoma on Wednesday night, then the reception of the Pelicans and the Suns this weekend. The Texas franchise now represents a simple lever to activate on the calendar of its opponents. “This one, we have to take it without forcing and by putting players to rest “. Perhaps we are a bit quick in our interpretation of this weak dynamic. The potential reward at the end of the ordeal makes us say no.
