You’re not wrong, but it turns out one alien can’t single-handedly win a game against 5 professional basketball players. Our guards were so ass tonight.

Thank you a nonbiased take

He had 5 fouls, so minutes restriction doesn’t really matter that much.

“grrr a timberwolves fan isn’t dickriding and is giving props to the other team, time to be mad”

I think there’s plenty of positive takeaways from this game that the Wolves could carry into a playoff series vs SA.

But yes Wemby just erases the Wolves’ normal nightly regular season scheme. Gobert was a team low -14 because Vic just destroys the Gobert offense. Screens don’t work. Can’t lob it to Rudy.

We got bailed out this game by getting him into foul trouble but also shot the 3 like shit in the first half and it progressed to the mean by the 2nd half.

I think Ant outplayed him in the 4th quarter.

That said, the only way he isn’t the best player in the NBA by the end of the season is injuries. He just dominates both sides of the ball.

Pick me

.. Absolute clowns dv this. ‘the only reason’, y’all full of shi. I couldn’t possibly think less of those who agree with this take

I disagree. I actually thought Wemby played poorly, and especially in the fourth really hurt the offense. He needs serious work on that side of the ball.

You’re an embarrassment. Wemby didn’t even have a good 4th quarter. If anything, him going iso so much was part of the Spurs problem. Who goes on reddit and sucks off the other team?

Wolves veterans definitely bullied the young guys. Castle was so fed up with DDV

Fox is the embarrassing one. Dude shot 31% from the floor as the max contract player and doesn’t give a shit about defense.

Randle is probably one of the best archetype of players to go up against Wemby

Wemby was +17 for the game

Big physical wings currently gives him the most trouble, which makes sense as they speed up his game and don’t let him get to his spots as easily. Think Giannis from last year for a couple possessions, Randle this game, rookie CMB earlier in the season for a bit, these type of archetypes etc.

Like literally in the 4th when Randle switched on him and he pushed him from the elbow all the way beyond the 3point line to catch the ball, that significantly worsens the percentage of Wembys’ shots. The elbow has been Victor’s bread and butter this season so when he has to be forced to start his attack beyond the 3point line it’s likely ggs.

I mean we know his strength is his biggest weakness coming into the league and he has been getting stronger year by year so far, so it’s a matter of time before he can push back these type of defenders. In the meantime he just got to find different ways and be smarter navigating these type of defenders instead of “brute forcing” it. Good thing they meet again in a week and let’s see if he makes any adjustments to them.

Almost like constantly sitting him means he is not up to fitness with the rest of the league

I don’t even understand the Wolves fans saying he was flopping… there was maybe one instance I can think of where he was running forward around a screen and got shoved by Gobert with his forearm.

Wolves fans called the foul he got from Gobert on the three a blatant flop and should have been a no call.

Foreignge Julius

Ironic coming from a Thunder fan lmao

Fox carried them down the stretch brother, those young guards aren’t ready yet.

Fox contract aligns right with when they need the flexibility to pay their young guys if Castle and Harper stay on schedule (obviously Wemby is a no brainer), they’ll be fine

Fox’s contract is up right when we can make a proper evaluation of Castle and Harper

It already ended

Rough night and the team was +17 in his minutes

Charming soft dropped 30 on your dpoy candidate btw

Weak bait

Red Bulls all around then amirite?

I agree he’s a tall twig put some muscle on him and he’s stopped in his tracks
