I just like that he is fun. Early Laker years Shaq was more dominant, but it was because his game was an exercise in slow brutality. Wemby has shades of that dominance while also being very entertaining.

Yeah, pretty wild that a 24/11/6 game w/ seven steals, 7-7 FTs, and a +14 plus/minus (second-best in the game behind Wemby’s +16) from a rookie is going to go massively overlooked, haha.

JumboHotdogz | Thunder

It’s a dilemma on both sides because he’s stuck guarding Champagnie but he can’t punish them vice-versa.

abris33 | Nuggets

They did it because it worked against the dominant big last year and they don’t really have a big to match Wemby one to one down low. Refs let small guys get away with murder on bigs

asdkijf | Cavaliers

108 | 4 months ago

Wemby honestly seems to get a better whistle because he’s so lanky, he reacts to contact more like a normal sized person. Dort was legit shocked at a couple foul calls because he’s used to just being able to shove the shit out of big men without them tumbling to the ground.

Chao-Z | Knicks

The strategy relies on refs letting Caruso foul on every single post-up without calling it. It’s obnoxious to watch.

Luckily for the Spurs, Caruso becoming 14-15 Curry was balanced out by Shai pooping his pants.

pretty_smart_feller

That was just the spurs plan. Make anyone but SGA score

SlyBeggar | 76ers

509 | 4 months ago

Shai’s scoring bag starts with his ability to drive and everything flows from that. When you’ve got wemby who can just completely shut down the paint that becomes a lot less effective and makes the rest of Shais game less effective. We all know this but this spurs team is (and has been) OKCs worst possible matchup this season.

TerrySaucer69 | Spurs

231 | 4 months ago

It’s like if you put a “no threes” rule on a Steph game. Yeah he can do other stuff, but it’s all gonna be less effective without that tool.

Shai loves his stop&start drives, but the spurs don’t need to jump for those. Cause there is an 8 foot tall Hakeem staring him down in the paint. So he just can’t get anything going, like you said.

_Caek_ | Thunder

Shame on anyone who said SGA was the BITW, he’s never been the BITW, Giannis was better in 2021 and 2022, Jokic was better from 2023-2025, and Wemby is now way better than him and he’s the TRUE BITW rn.

Luckiest AND the best run over the long term. It’s better to be lucky than good, but it’s best to be both.

Wemby +16 in a fucking double OT win. He sealed it off with a block on Jdub even as he was smushed in the face.

Harper with a cool +14, too

Harper and Wemby carried the team on their fucking backs. They needed every single one of those Harper steals. Many of them were huge momentum shifters as well.

Shai -15 in 51 minutes is insane the other way too, for the MVP in a 2OT loss to be -15.

Only worry for the Spurs is that is a lot of minutes for a giant to play.

All defense big man and your team would rather put a 6’5 guard on the other teams star big man rather than you.

⁴⁰⁄₂₀ game on Wemby’s first WCF appearance
Stephon Castle with 11 assists and 11 turnovers
Jalen Williams with 23 points after a month off
Alex Caruso on a absolute heater with ⁸⁄₁₃ 3-PT and clutch plays
Chet’s block on Wemby at end of regulation
Thunder’s electric 7-0 run in OT1
Wemby going alien mode in OT2

I’m shook. I saw Wemby make a type of 3 I thought only Curry could make, One dribble dunks I thought only Giannis could make, and blocks that nobody could make. I don’t know what’s going on anymore.

Wemby was of course incredible. Health permits, might just be the best basketball player I’ll witness in the sport.

But it’s Harper that impressed me the most today. He wasn’t the most efficient but his body control, confidence and his IQ for passing lanes was incredible to watch.

The Spurs are blessed with talent!

Notes from Game 1

OKC’s defensive line (Dort, Caruso, Wallace) needs to make open threes to punish Spur’s overhelping on SGA and JDub driving lanes. They missed a lot of open threes, but Caruso became lethal and shored up for their misses

Victor Wembanyama remains the biggest mismatch of the series, not just by scoring over smaller defenders (Caruso did a decent job denying entry passes) but by dominating rebounds against the small OKC lineups. OKC cannot run twin towers against Wemby and without twin towers its really hard for them to contest rebounds.

Both teams refused to give up interior shots and would rather cheat on outside shooters, resulting in a combined 41 threes taken at the half. This limited SGA and the Spurs guard duo as their drives met swarming interior defense and forced kicked outs. It didn’t help that SGA was missing shots he normally hits in his sleep, limiting his offensive impact.

Castle had 11 turnovers this game, even if most of them were not live-ball this was a concern I had going into the game without Fox. When OKC’s defensive line can just pressure the ball and force turnovers, they normally go on backbreaking runs and blow out teams.

JDub was slightly rusty but well rested and is a slight mismatch on Vassell and Champaigne, Spurs needed help to contain his drives. San Antonio does have a slight weakness in wing PoA defense, which makes JDub + 2 bigs lineups really interesting going forward.

What a game, excited as hell to see Game 2

I kinda feel bad for him. He was a type of player nobody had ever seen before, the kind of player that should be the future of the league. A mile tall, mobile, great shooter, kinda has a handle if you squint hard enough, that’s the new meta right there.

Then a year after you some motherfucker comes in that has all the same strengths you do but better in literally every way, and now you get to spend your career in his shadow no matter how good you get. Shit’s rough.

Shai wasn’t able to drive to the basket like usual because of the threat of Wemby blocking his layups (and just general great defense from the spurs), barely getting the chance to get to the ft line since he has to pass so much. He also didn’t shoot great tonight to be fair, he’ll have better games going forward but even against us he wasn’t at his best. We didn’t have the depth (and barely the starting 5) to punish OKC for it but Spurs definitely do.

The San Antonio Spurs (1-0) steal Game 1 on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder (0-1) in double overtime, 122-115.
