The Spurs are back and Victor Wembenyama is quickly becoming the new face of the NBA. The 0-2 Nets are hoping for the same fortunes as San Antonio. Until that day, the two meet in a lopsided matinee — the first of a Texas back-to-back — with KD and the Rockets awaiting in Houston.

This is the home opener for the Spurs. It should be an exciting afternoon in Texas as Spurs fans look to give the home team an extra boost as they try to establish themselves as a solid team… For Brooklyn, they’ve got to get on the same page defensively. The team has been getting torn up on that end so far and that’s just not going to fly when you’re at a talent disadvantage. The lapses on defense, inattention to details, etc. are not what this team is about… at least what they shouldn’t be about.
