Perfect timing between two French disasterclasses, since the NBA unveiled a few hours ago the precise program for the NBA pre-season, which will take place from October 5 to 20. And what did we look at like… right away? Not the matches of Damian Lillard no, since he will be at home, but those of Victor Wembanyama, for his first “real” steps in the wonderful world of the NBA…
We put quotes on “true” yeah, because we all know that pre-season is worth what it’s worth. What is it worth? Some indications on the form of each other but no conclusions to draw obviously, since the 50/50 rule applies: 50% of players at less than 50% of their capacities. Was this rule invented just now? Maybe. Are we going to decipher Victor Wembanyama’s program now? Of course.
October 9, 2023: Thunder – Spurs
Big debuts, and what better way to attack than to face the league’s No. 2 team in terms of hype, yeah we’re here to start wars. Chet Holmgren for a Unicorn vs Alien duel, we’ll let you guess who is strangling the other, then the young crackos Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort coming out of the world champion title (we’re in the turfu), Jalen Williams, Josh Giddey and other Ousmane Dieng, in short stars from everywhere to attack this program? Yum-yum, with two big M.
October 13, 2023: Spurs – Heat
The NBA vice-champions, Bam Adebayo who takes care of his personal case, Udonis Haslem to insult all his ancestors live from the bench, and generally the Heat Culture who awaits Wemby firmly with perhaps – already – an anti Exit Vic. A real test and one of the most complicated match-ups he will have to manage this season, we can say that it puts the ideas in place.
October 16, 2023: Spurs–Rockets
Oh the rascals, the rascals who therefore foresee a confrontation between Victor Wembanyama and the franchise that he publicly punchlined at the time of the Draft. Vic had gloated live when he learned he wasn’t going to Houston and later confirmed it wasn’t his dream destination, so we’re now waiting to see how the Rockets’ young guard will receive him for their first duel. We are still talking about Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr. or Amen Thompson on the back lines, Cam Whitmore on the wing and the Tari Eason / Jabari Smith Jr. / Alperen Segun trio in the racket, enough to promise a good big circus for this first Texas derby of the season. Bring in the artists!
October 18, 2023: Spurs–Rockets
The same two days later, we’re not going to copy and paste it for you.
October 20, 2023: Warriors-Spurs
The fireworks with this match against the reigning NBA champions, finally for those who have been in a coma for a year. From very heavy to program with the genius of Curry and the vice of Chris Paul, yes they say that Steph is brilliant and that Chris is vicious. Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney or the kicks in the waltzes of Draymond Green, then of the youth opposite, too, with Jo Kuminga who will try to dunk on him as much as possible. Very very heavy, perfect to conclude the warm-up.
