Huevos Banchero. (I didn’t think of this nickname, just wishing we’d stop with AD, KD, et al and return to some cooler noms de basketball)

They do have cooler nicknames. I don’t know what’s cooler than the Slim Reaper, other than Mr. Glass.

He’s doesn’t seem to like Slim Reaper, I think he prefers Iceberg Slim but that’s burrowed from a pump. And we can be sure that Mr Glass is about as ignominious as it gets.

Your second Onderdonk recently. Another nice thing about Wemby’s rise is getting more of Julian O.

Weird vibes at the Spurs game in Austin, definitely KD had the most jerseys and loudest cheers. Would have been interesting had Wemby played to hear those cheers. Both teams played better than I expected, and both teams have some really tough watch rotation players. Lordy, they both need big men right now.

Fun vibes. I estimated maybe even a quarter of the jerseys were Suns, and not all Durant. I envied the Spurs’ transition game. Boy, if you think the Suns played better than expected that says something about expectations. Leading scorer Royce O’Neal with a career game. 😬

My little sicko’s biggest joy was finding out that Suns 2022 third-string center Bismack Biyombo was still in the NBA, and starting in place of Wemby.
