Thinking basketball podcast. My name is Ben. Welcome back to another episode. Cody, the NBA is heating up. No, it's on fire. We are getting hit with game after game after game that is incredible.

I'm starting to vibrate.

I'm starting to percolate over here with all these games.

Nuggets, Thunder, and the Spurs and the Spurs and the Pistons and the Celtics and the

Cows.

It's like they're having a championship round robin a month and a half before the playoffs, just to tease me.

I am so excited to talk to you today. How are you doing? There are just a couple of times during the season where I'm just expecting the fire hose of watching games to hit. Like right away at the beginning of the season, first couple weeks, I just expect to just watch a bunch of games. But then you kind of figure it out.

You can pick and choose.

I can't do it.

There's not enough time to watch all of the good games that are going on. I'm like texting you. I'm like, Ben, should I watch Spurs Rockets or should I watch Lakers, whoever it is that they play? Lakers, Knicks, I think. And every night is just a decision about what you have to watch. And you know, I'm not going to complain. It's not a complaint.

I'm just saying that what you have to watch.

And you know, I'm not going to complain. It's not a complaint. I'm just saying that if you want to really get into basketball and see some good stuff, the last couple weeks have just been insane. It's been incredible. And speaking of insane, I had, Wemby Watch is back. Cody. We are back with Wembe Watch. We're looking dicey there for a little while, but we are back with Wembe Watch.

I have an insane stat. We are back with Wembewatch. We're looking dicey there for a little while, but we are back with Wembe

Watch. I have an insane stat for you. Maybe it's an MVP stat. I don't know. I don't know.

Wemby Watch, the Spurs this season, when Victor Wembenyama is on the court, have a minus nine relative defense.

Their defense is nine points per 100 better than league average.

So if league average is like 115 points per 100, the spurs are allowing like 106 points per 100

when Victor Wembeyanama is on the court. They are about dead average when he's

on the bench. So they're going from like an average basketball defense to one of the all-time

great basketball defenses when Victor Wembeyanama goes to the bench. So that's our Wembe

watch, but I have more. You're going to react to that? Because I have more. That's not the crazy

part. I'm trying to think, where's the line when we start getting into top whatever territory?
