林肯夫人，除了那个以外，奥斯汀怎么样？
额，我是说。天啊。
我想他们昨晚在奥斯汀打了一场比赛。你听说了吗？马刺队参加了。实际上，他们赢了。是的，这是一场非常精彩的比赛。很奇怪，不是吗？考虑到昨天下午震撼马刺队的世界级新闻，现在很难想象篮球还有什么意义。
我不会重述关于 文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的伤病的所有细节——你可以阅读或收听许多聪明人的分析。我不会推测这对他未来意味着什么，也不会随便庆祝这可能会如何影响马刺队的选秀赔率。相反，我只想静静地接受这件事。作为球迷，我们所面对的不是世界末日，也不是来自天堂的什么秘密法力。它只是存在——而且很糟糕。
毫无疑问，维克多的健康和福祉是重中之重。球队能够迅速查明原因并已经着手让他康复，这很棒。如果我们能，哪怕只是一秒钟，把这件事放到一个标有 “显而易见” 的盒子里，我想花点时间感叹我们整个赛季都不能再看到 文班 (Wemby) 打篮球了。我为我们感到难过。
他太棒了。
他是我在篮球场上见过的最疯狂的事情，他在马刺队球衣的每一秒都感觉像是一个真正的奇迹。没有他的剩余赛季会感觉像在一个只有一半灯亮的房间里打球。当维克多不打球时，联盟、比赛以及其他一切都会变得更糟。
所以。是的。这令人沮丧，我认为承认这一点是可以的。我会尽力继续前进，不要把每一场比赛都变成对阵容中那个7尺4寸的空缺的公投。但至少今晚，很难忽视这一点。
现在，对于周四晚上在穆迪中心确实上场的球员们来说：他们出现了。他们给出了明确的信号，表明他们不会就此放弃这个赛季。我们有一些真正能打的家伙——他们仍在为自己在这支球队和联盟中的位置而战。这将会很有趣。这可能不是我们原以为的赛季版本，但肯定不是一场葬礼。
接下来的几个月是为了弄清楚没有维克多，这支球队是什么样的。他是球队未来的重要组成部分，但他不是全部。他不能是全部。他周围的球员和体系同样重要。而现在，我们可以专注于这一点。
所以花点时间。悲伤一下。然后在脸上泼点水，重新投入进去。让我们团结在这些球员周围，而不是在接下来的几个月里把库珀·弗拉格PS到银黑配色里。
让我们赢得一些比赛。让我们打进附加赛。让我们毁掉一些人的好日子。
让我们打出马刺队的篮球。
赛季还没有结束。在很多方面，它才刚刚开始。
收获
- 我仍然认为奥斯汀的实验很酷。将马刺队的影响力扩展到整个南德克萨斯州是很棒的，而且球队一再表明，这样做是有真正目的的——而不仅仅是为了轻松捞钱。马刺队一直被贴上“小市场”球队的标签。通常，这是一个你永远无法摆脱的标签。但通过一系列聪明的举措和跳出框框的思考，他们可能已经找到了绕过它的方法——而没有搬迁。这是一个胜利。
- 我已经就位，准备好充分体验比斯马克·比永博时代的马刺队篮球。冲啊！联盟的其他球队以为我们忘记了如何与传统内线球员配合，而我们来这里是为了向他们展示，我们仍然可以在内线与最优秀的球队抗衡。
- 在关于维克多受伤的众多令人沮丧的事情中，我感到难过的是，我们将错过他与 德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 在未来几个月里建立良好化学基础的机会。话虽如此，只要我们抓住一线希望，一切似乎都变得非常自由，我们可以让福克斯出去向我们展示他的一切。这并非一无是处！他仍然是联盟中最有趣的球员之一，并且与马刺队长期以来的任何球员都不同。我当然很期待看到这一点。
- 这是故意的吗？这是有意的吧？他…他肯定是想这么做的吧？

赛后新闻发布会
*- 我喜欢把东西放在标有 *“显而易见” 的盒子里的概念。我觉得这真的可以简化很多对话。
-
对吧？我认为我们需要发起一场运动。比如，我可以把“我爱我的狗，不希望她受到任何伤害”这句话放到 “显而易见” 的盒子里，这样当我告诉你，如果她在我有机会吃之前舔了我的百吉饼，那么我可能不得不把她赶出家门48小时。
-
这样我就知道你不是怪物，你只是不希望你的百吉饼上有狗的口水。
-
我觉得永远想要我的百吉饼没有狗的口水也应该放到“ 显而易见 ”的盒子里。
- 也许我们应该把它变成一个“ 显而易见 ”的板条箱。
- 更像一个集装箱。

What We Learned from the Spurs win over the Suns
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was Austin?
Well. I mean. Shoot.
I guess they played a game in Austin last night. Did you hear about that? The Spurs played. They won, actually. Yeah, it was a pretty good game and everything. Weird, right? It’s hard to imagine basketball even matters right now, considering the world-altering news that shook up the Spurs yesterday afternoon.
I’m not going to rehash all the details about Wembanyama’s injury — you’ve got plenty of smart people you can read or listen to for that. I won’t speculate on what it means for his future, and I’m not about to casually celebrate how this might impact the Spurs’ draft odds. Instead, I’m just sitting with it for a minute. As fans, what we’re dealing with isn’t the end of the world, nor is it some secret mana from heaven. It just is — and it sucks.
Victor’s health and well-being are, without question, the top priority. It’s great that the team got to the bottom of this quickly and is already working on getting him better. If we can, just for a second, put that in a box labeled “OBVIOUSLY”, I’d like to take a moment to lament the fact that we don’t get to watch Victor Wembanyama play basketball for the rest of the season. And I hate that for us.
He rules.
He’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen on a basketball court, and every second he’s out there in a Spurs jersey feels like a genuine miracle. Watching the rest of the season without him is going to feel like playing in a room with half the lights off. The league, the game, and basically everything else are worse off when Victor isn’t hooping.
So. Yeah. It’s a bummer, and I think it’s okay to admit that. I’m going to do my best to move on, to not make every single game a referendum on the 7’4” hole in the lineup. But for at least this one night, it’s hard to ignore.
Now, for the guys who did play Thursday night in the Moody Center: They showed up. They gave every indication that they’re not about to roll over and give up on the season. We’ve got dudes who can really play — guys still fighting for their place on this team and in the league. It’s going to be fun. It might not be the version of the season we thought we were getting, but it’s certainly not a funeral.
The next few months are about figuring out what this team is without Victor. He’s a massive part of the franchise’s future, but he isn’t the whole thing. He can’t be. The guys and the structure around him matter just as much. And for now, we get to focus on that.
So take a minute. Be sad. Then splash some water on your face and get back in it. Let’s rally around these guys instead of spending the next few months photoshopping Cooper Flagg into Silver & Black.
Let’s win some games. Let’s make the play-in. Let’s ruin some people’s days.
Let’s play Spurs basketball.
The season isn’t over. In a lot of ways, it’s just now getting started.
Takeaways
- I still think the Austin experiment is cool. Expanding the Spurs’ reach throughout South Texas is awesome, and the franchise has repeatedly shown that it’s being done with real purpose — not just as an easy cash grab. The Spurs have been labeled a “small market” team for as long as they’ve existed. Usually, that’s a stamp you never shake. But through a series of smart moves and outside-the-box thinking, they might have found a way around it— without relocating. That’s a win.
- I’m in my seat and ready to fully experience the Bismack Biyombo era of Spurs basketball. LET’s GO. The rest of the league thought we forgot about how to play with a traditional big and we’re here to show them that we can still rock down low with the best of them.
- Among the many things that are sort of a bummer about Victor’s injury, I’m sad that we’re going to miss out on a few more months of him and De’Aaron Fox building out a good foundation of chemistry for the future. That being said, as long as we’re grasping for silver linings, everything does seem pretty freed up for us to just let Fox go out there and show us what he’s all about. That’s not nothing! He’s still one of the most fun players in the league and is unlike anyone the Spurs have had on their roster in a long while. I’m certainly excited to watch that.
- Was this intentional? It was on purpose right? He…he for sure meant to do this?

WWL Post Game Press Conference
- I like the concept of putting things in a box labeled “OBVIOUSLY”. I feel like that could really streamline a lot of conversations.
-
Right? I think we need to start a this movement. Like, I could put the statement “I love my dog and want no harm to come to her” in the “OBVIOUSLY” box so that when I tell you that if she licks my bagel before I have a chance to eat it then I might have to kick her out of the house for 48 hours
-
And then i’ll know that you aren’t a monster, you just want your bagel not to have dog on it.
-
I feel like always wanting my bagel sans dog is something that should also go in the “OBVIOUSLY” box.
- Maybe we should make it more of an “OBVIOUSLY” crate.
- More like a shipping container.
