54 from oxtail is odee shooting cornbread
Straight out of Holmgren
Aggressive on that last attempt and a lot fewer pump fakes throughout the game. Great offensive game tonight.
Legitimately needs to play more unconsciously to hit the next level
If Chet ever achieves ultra instinct the league’s fucked. Wemby will gain Ultra Ego, though, probably.
As a Wemby fan I’d kill for Chet to unlock his potential. I’d love for their rivalry to really kick into gear.
Personal feeling but when he pump fakes I think his shooting percentage is single digits. Just take the shots.
Yeah we need this confident Chet a lot, too many times he hesitates on an open look but not this game.
I was afraid his confidence would be rattled after he got stuffed on that 3 but he kept course.
His shot motion is so slow it’s kinda funny tbh. He was shooting like 39% from three for the first 30 games but has dwindled since, he just needs to get his mojo back tbh.
odee shooting 54.(54…)% from tree balls 😔😔😔
Shooting hang pulls 😩😩😩
that’s why we pay him the big bucks 😮💨
First time scoring over 20 since january btw
Oh no the top 3 defensive player doesn’t constantly drop 20
It’s like being mad at Rodman for grabbing 20+ boards but not scoring any points lol. These people just don’t know anything about basketball
Except he’s not Rodman and he’s expected to score
250 mill
For the next 6 years. You guys are paying KP, Jimmy and Draymond more money than they’re worth
Irrelevant
That’s what the Warriors will become after Steph retires LOL
They’re pretty irrelevant with Steph right now lol
Seems like they’re pretty irrelevant these days already even with him on the team. Sad.
Talking about everything but chet holmgren shows you cant even defend this shit lmao
It’s been 11-12 hours since and you’re still here making new comments, gah damn. I forgot you even existed until you popped back up 💀
Get a hobby bro
I just woke up and responded and you still havent commented about chet. Im crying bro LMAOOOO I can’t wait for when he shits himself in the playoffs
Could say that about any superstar i mean yeah
Maybe. People said OKC would be irrelevant after KD / Russ / PG / CP3 / etc. yet here we are.
I look forward to the sustained impending decline of the warriors back to the shitter where they belong.
Okc wins their first ring and think they demigods im crying
His defense is why we pay him. Jesus you people try to find every little thing to shit on OKC don’t you? Lol he could have 100 points and you’d say he should have had 101
Most dumb analogy ive ever heard.
And your comment is one of the dumbest I’ve ever read. The guy is about to win DPOY, he is well worth the money. A lot of his impact isn’t even shown on the stat sheet. Same with guys like Caruso
Sure dude
Just nothing to say but yap. It makes sense that you hate Chet since he fries the warriors every time. Look at your account dude go outside lmao.
His responses to my comments were “most dumb analogy ever” and “sure dude”… groundbreaking stuff
stop getting in your feelings over chet holmgren be at peace
My brother your team is currently paying Jimmy, Porzingis, and Draymond a combined $110,000,000 in 2026. Chet is fine
Warriors suck boring. Stick to chet convo.
Chet’s reigning champ and a top 3 defensive player. Sorry you’re triggered by that
Interested who you think is the 3rd. I got wemby 1 no question, then chet 2 but who’s your third?
to me chet, gobert and mobley are 2-4 in any given order
Carried getting paid like a second option and was a defensive roleplayer in the finals
Your team would give him a max the second they could lol
Doubtful
Has to improve his handle and get more comfortable taking defenders off the dribble to become a more complete player offensively. He’s the second best defender in the league while averaging 17 as the third option dawg. as is 30⁄30 teams are signing him to a max
Hes not the 3rd option at this point jdub has barely played he should have more
I would like him to but that’s not what they ask him to do. He’s damn sure not Rudy gobert
Oh man another dumbass Warriors fan
is that how much money the warriors are spending on their roster only to be on their way to face deni avdija in the play-ins?
and they’re over the 1st Apron and fighting for a play in spot rn 💀
Warriors are garbage. Also irrelevant.
The Warriors would take him in a heartbeat
so what? His defense trumps all same for wemby alright offensively but transcendent on Defense
Wemby’s better than alright offensively, that’s what puts him a level above Chet.
In his last 5 games he’s only managed to score over 20 2 times and on subpar efficiency for his size, that’s as close to “alright” you can get lmao. Give him time to develop I’m sure he’ll start putting up BS numbers by next year after experiencing a playoff series or two
Wemby was +41 yes because of defense but also because the offensive attention he draws. If teams tried guarding him like they guard Chet, he would be above alright every game. As is, the Spurs use overplaying Wemby to free up cuts and three pointers.
Im assuming thats what they mean when they say he’s a tier above Chet.
I’m not comparing players I’m comparing archetypes in to which specifically here I was referring to their offense. I’m not arguing who’s the better player because it’s obvious. He said that “Wemby is better than alright offensively” which just isn’t true he’s about average. He shoots league average for a center while averaging 23 pts which is… alright, comparatively to his defense which transcends the realm of everyone else in the league
I just think you’ve overcooked your argument a little. The defensive schemes Wemby sees are not for average offensive players. The New York game, I legitimately will give you he played poorly.
Anyway I understand your point and dont think you think Chet and Wemby are comparable. I get the archetype thing you’re going for. There’s truth in it. But you’re overbaking the argument a tad bit imo.
This isn’t going to get anywhere then. You’re going to ride for your guy regardless, and I’ll do so for mine. If a player is shooting league average for their position while barely cracking 20 points, then their average offensively. For example, Cade Cunningham, who shoots slightly worse than league average for his position while being the 1st option for his team but puts up 25 points per game you wouldn’t call him Great and put him in the same convo offensively as, for example, Ant and you wouldn’t call him transcendent and put him in the same convo offensively with people like Shai, Luka, or Jokic. Doesn’t mean he is garbage, though he is just about average offensively, which is what I’m saying.
There’s a massive difference between shooting league average while drawing constant doubles/triples with the physicality Wemby sees, vs shooting league average against average defensive attention.
The same applies to Cade. Just because they’re not on the SGA/Jokic/Luka tier offensively doesn’t make them average, particularly as first options on two of the top 3 teams in the league. Unless there’s 225 guys in the league you’d rank above them offensively lol.
95th percentile offensive EPM, 61.5%ts on 31% usage is average? Brother holy shit you do not know ball or you’re just letting your hate for Wemby and the Spurs get the better of you. The man is a great / near elite offensive player.
You’re using a stat with the word “Estimated” on it for your basis it has flaws. I don’t hate Wemby either or the spurs, because why would I? I also complimented him and said that he was better than Chet and had transcendent defense. People like Hunter Dickerson have a USG rate of sub 30% per game. That doesn’t mean shit lmao, and 61% is average for a CENTER, which is what Wemby plays for a guard that would be elite, but for a center that’s average. Just because I don’t shove a dick down my throat like you Spurs fans doesn’t mean I dislike him.
You dont watch the games, wemby isnt getting wide open shots every possession like chet does. He draws multiple defenders every play thats why the offensive net rating is way better when he plays. They so worried about wemby scoring in the paint that they let the guards to off completely.
Wow only twice above 20 in his last five games. Meanwhile Chet has done it once in his last 14 games
Not comparable to wemby
No shit that’s not what I’m saying both players 7 Ft+ and both primarily used for their defense and not offense
Wemby is the first option on the Spurs… Chet is like 3rd for y’all lmao
what does that gotta do with anything lmao 🤣, Wemby averages around 16 FGA per game compared to Chet’s 12
One has a ring, the other hasn’t made the playoffs. Both getting the max.
Who’s the real winner there?
[removed]
yall are paying Jimmy 121 to sit on the bench injured what are we doing here 💀
Yeah we are washed irrelevant to the conversation
That 250 mill just won us a championship, I’d say it’s well worth it
No shai won you the championship
you said it not me, enjoy irrelevancy once Curry retires trust me you’ll like it
Still has nothing to do with chet dude
BAHAHHAHAHA
Didn’t Wemby get held to 12 points against the same team Chet just cooked up? 😂 it’s all relative my guy
12 points against the Knicks? No he had 25.
Easily disproven comment significantly upvoted, classic r/nba 😂
I mean this thread is just full of Thunder fans. Makes sense.
whats funny? Im not going to say Chet is definitively better on defense than Wemby but Chet is at the very worst a top 3 defender in the league and will continue to be in DPOY voting in years to come
He’s only allowing 48% at the rim (only other player allowing a lower % is Stew), averages 2 blocks a game, is one of the best drop coverage bigs itl rn, and is able to consistently guard on the perimeter
How many championships Wemby got btw?
Wemby would also have a championship on that okc team btw
I deadass laughed at that reply
That might be the metric to measure a player’s worth if you’re an idiot
yes but he is an idiot
since a month ago? ok lol. what a random ass hater comment for no reason. bizarre behavior.
Saw the comment the first time bud
#1 seed in the league despite missing the second most games to injury btw
Shai is goated
Why is that relevant besides the fact that it proves his point even more because Chet has played the most games and still can’t score with all the added opportunity
This might surprise you, but the goal of basketball teams and basketball players is to win games, not to score 20 points.
So it’s relevent because Chet and the thunder have been doing that more effectively than any other team in the league.
The comment I replied to is acting like failing to score 20 points is some massive shortcoming, but that’s focusing on the wrong thing.
Chet doesn’t win games. The Thunder win games. He is responsible for his stats though. Which is what is being discussed.
Nobody is arguing that he doesn’t contribute. But for a near generational talent who signed a $250m contract, you’d expect him to be more than a watered down Rudy Gobert
20 rebounds in the last week though
You’re not gonna pay Shooty Gobert big bucks???
yea I also watched the pregame show, that was neat
Dont tell this guy about draymond
I wish we didn’t ice him out in the 3rd he was cooking and we completely stopped using him again it happens every time he balls out first half
I feel like any time he misses a couple of shots he gets iced out for no reason. Not that he was even missing shots tonight but in general.
He needs looks to be generated for him. If a set is blown up he’s not someone you can force the ball to. He can’t seal smaller defenders and he can’t take guys off the dribble so if he’s not getting open in the flow of the offense it’s hard to get him good looks especially because he needs a lot of time and space to shoot. That’s why his point total fluctuates so much and it seems he like he gets iced out.
Its been happening past 2 years. Mark does that shit to him all the time. He plays jwill and kwill more snd they been getting way more shots then him.. check my past posts complaining exactly about this..Mark mr bean is holding chet back
6⁄11 from 3 is odee
Helluva game by chet
He heard espn talking crap
And very disruptive defense. Had Brunson turning over the ball multiple times on his drives.
He was great outside of getting cooked by shamet lol 😂
could put the game away with the middy doe, unfortunate
All NBA second team, DPOY
Hold your horses there cowpoke!
We all know DPOY is DeMar DeRozan’s to lose
Of course M Bison voice
Not trying to start anything, just curious. Do you think he actually deserves DPOY or are you assuming Wemby doesnt hit 65 games?
I mean obviously Wemby wins it if he hits the game requirement but its not like Chet doesn’t have an argument
His defensive advanced metrics are pretty close to Wemby’s and he’s statistically the 2nd best rim defender this season, only allowing 48% at the rim
Again, this isn’t saying Chet should win even if Wemby reaches 65 games but he’s been 1-2 in the DPOY ladder for a reason
I think if he gets enough playing time and is #1 option he can be dpoy
LMAOOOO
Wemby. Scottie Barnes. Gobert. All 3 over Chet.
Scottie Barnes
Put the phone down and reflect on your life
All NBA and Def are positionless, so if those are the only 3 you have ahead the he would make it.
For DPOY.
Scottie Barnes. Are you watching the games? Ask a raptors fan how his defense has been
Wow no love for stocks leader Tyrese Maxey
He was insane in the first quarter.
If he can shoot close to 40% from 3, he will be well worth his contract and then some.
I mean he’s probably winning DPOY as long as things keep going well, that alone should be enough. The 3 ball is a cherry on top
Edit: and if he’s not DPOY he’s second to an alien, not bad compared to everyone else in the league
A DPOY that can spread the floor is gold
Does Perkins have something he needs to say?
Props to Chet he delivered in a big game
That handle just needs to get a bit tighter and we’ll be cooking with gas. I have to hope an offseason in the weight room will get him there next season
The middy was looking good tonight too.
Going into the off-season fully healthy for the first time in a while will be huge
ESPN brought up he hadn’t score 20 since January and lo and behold
Chet was great tonight and Daigneault nearly cost them game by not getting him more involved in the 3Q. 1 shot attempt in 7 minutes when dude is coaching malpractice
Happens every time he has a good first half lol 😂 I called this happening before the halftime was over we ignore him when he is hot from the field
I call mark mr bean the cartoon looks just like him. I been saying he is holding back chet. Everytime chet gets hot he gets benched. He barely gets 10 shots a game..past 2 months jwill and kwill Wallace wiggins all get more shots then chet.
Honest Abe is a baller
Good for string bean
That’s my all star!! ⚡️🤧
Is this guy the 3rd option GOAT?
Klay maybe or Chris Bosh.
Weird thing to be the GOAT at haha but maybe!
if you include defense then yeah probably, although it is a weird situation where he’s the 2nd best player but the 3rd offensive option so idk if that disqualifies him
First half he was cooking. Needs to stay aggressive going into the 3rd though
strong piece
