This is like when elite corners in the NFL start putting up bad stats for the year. Literally nobody is throwing their way. 

It’s good for Spurs. Opponent avoid high percentage shots in paint, and no-one-challenge-Wemby means Wemby will have less foul trouble and can stay on court longer to continue his aura presence on both ends.

Wemby ’s aura

gotta start blocking fools on the 3pt line from the paint agian.

I just remembered France playing against Serbia in I think 2015. Gobert had two or three blocks in the first couple of minutes and they just stopped getting into the paint.

He can block threes but lu dort arcs it higher than anyone else in the league

Gonna have to get used to teams being too scared of his aura for him to get a block lmao

The whole game changes when he plays. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. Insane player

dude ask Raptors fans about this man

just ask Raptors fans

they know 

He lost the block streak tonight cuz OKC literally STOPPED TRYING to go to the rim. The entire second half they just didn’t even make the effort.

This is what I assumed was gonna happen eventually. Teams are just going to give up trying to score on him.

He is AntiGravity.

Wemby was a +13 and the Spurs won by 20.

I’m not a math wiz but I think that means the Spurs without Wemby still outscored the Thunder by 7

Is there a stat that might capture that? Like FGA per possession in the paint when Wemby is on the court?

Wish he had a block though. The streak!

I am. I got him on my fantasy and its hurting me

Literal aura lmao

“The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.”

In this sense, Wemby was highly successful albeit at the cost of that streak.

Except for a couple of backdoor cuts and a freakishly high stretch armstrong layup by SGA, they barely attacked the rim while he was on. He got his hamd on one of SGA’s layups but it still went in, and lost a block to a foul called on Castle.

Kind of odd that this matchup had Shai with 100 games with 20+ and Wemby had 100 games with a block.

I didn’t know how many games Wemby had.

Also ironic that Shai’s last game without 20 was against the Spurs at the start of last season.

Petty little thundies

Only reason it ended was bc the Thunder was playing scared. Didnt go in the paint when he played.

I’ve never understood why that isn’t a block. Sure, don’t reward a guy with the block if he also made the foul, but when someone else fouls and you stop a live ball from going in that’s a block.

Load management is undefeated

One day I’ll rewatch all the games and keep track of the “aura blocks”. Numbers must be insane

Chet tried to make something happen but right before he was gonna shoot he remember the block last game and passed it back out instead.

AKA, the Rudy Gobert special.

“Aura blocks”

Defensive repellent, the opposite to Steph Curry’s gravity.

The two of them on the same team would probably rip a hole in the space-time continuum

Def tough, but also at a time when teams just couldn’t decide to not attack the paint.

It was obvious there’s no chance he keeps this streak up

That was his third career game without a block. It’s not as far fetched as you make it out to be.

Reaping and sowing

stop fouling 🤫 right?

You OKC fans really cant stand it when your sorry asses aren’t getting coddled by the refs lmaoooo
