Boogie Cousins blames Chet Holmgren for OKC’s Game 1 loss: “I put this on Chet. You have to step up and accept that challenge… he tucked his tail.”
He’s definitely partially to blame. He’s supposed to be the 3rd or even 2md best player, scoring 8 points on 41 minutes isn’t good enough
Honestly amazed he even got to 8. He was invisible
That’s not fair, he had the block to send them to 2nd OT.
I won’t give him a ton of credit, but he did show up then.
He also flopped on the rebound instead of going back to guard Wemby on his pull up 3 to tie the game
AaaaAaaaaaayyyyyEeeeee!!!
Some say that the pterodactyl is extinct, but those that watched the game know that it lives on with that cry.
That’s partially why Wemby felt comfortable taking the shot. If he misses the Spurs are at a significant advantage to get the rebound.
Jeeeeze 4D monk chess
And it was a two for one situation as well.
Shit, he wouldve been contending for that rebound if he didn’t flop.
If he had scored more than 8 he wouldn’t have needed to make the block.
Yeah and
If shai made one more shot
If wemby made one more shot
If they called out of bounds on harper on the rebound
if my aunt had balls
Your aunt doesn’t ball?
Casual.
Her hesi is solid but she lacks handles
His aunt is Julius Randle!?
Dubious Aunties
Those are just the future kids of Anthony Edwards
She handled mine just fine. We have to work on her stamina though.
Yeah, watching the game I think I was struck more by the couple of times Shai tried to play hero ball and botched what probably amounted to 4-6 extra points and the win
Expecting a whistle every time he goes to the basket
He really did. His first shot of the game was a 3 and he pointlessly fell down trying to get a call.
First shot of the game. He had to stop trying to bait and it got him out of his game
If my grandmother had handles she’d be a bicycle
That’s what her pigtails were for
wemby hit that logo three because chet was on the ground, at the opposite end of the court, after exaggerating contact, and expecting a foul - if he simply gets up and runs back and puts a hand in wembys face, wemby isn’t left wide open in overtime
It’s worse than that, he sent himself flying because he touched a guy half his size, and that guy grabbed the rebound. If he had just played basketball there’s a good chance he gets the rebound instead and seals the game right there
He was so bad that they put 6 5 Caruso on Wemby instead of the 7 1 DPOY runner up
Wemby also fucking cooked him, that one block doesn’t mean shit
Felt like it fired him up. He was looking fatigued before that block. After that he turned it on.
His defense is excellent. Always. Can’t take that away from him, but Chet’s piss poor shot creation skills are going to get exposed. If he can’t make Wemby work harder, then Wemby is going to shut down the lane for Shai’s dribble drive/ midrange in the paint game.
Chet simply is too physically weak to absorb contact and make buckets. And the Thunder will lose the series because of this. Just my prediction.
He’s an excellent help defender as part of the team defense. One on one he gets bullied by true centers. Which is why they play him at the 4 or guarding poor shooters usually
That was on a 3 sec position so the shot was 100% predictable
Nah it helped one of the OKC guys almost stripped that before Wemby could put that up quicker then he did
Also hit a super timely 3
most memorable play was when he dribbled around in a circle at the feet of dylan harper
A lot of non-stats poor play by him all around, too. Missing rebounds that go right by his face. He seriously played the whole game like he got the yips
3 guys got 70 shots…how he gonna get his?
Well 6 of those points were from wide open threes that we let him take as part of our defensive scheme
Also it’s not his fault but I feel like Wemby just wants to dominate vs. Chet in a way he doesn’t vs. others
Wemby really does look like he has a personal vendetta against Chet
It goes back to FIBA days. 2019 FIBA U-19 Gold Medal game was USA vs France. USA won by 2 and Chet won the MVP award. Wemby’s been on a revenge tour against Chet ever since.
It’s like when puberty levels out and you turn out to be much larger than your middle school bully
It’s the “fuck you” attitude. Wemby seems to enjoy humiliating Gobert and Chet. There was one play where a smaller guy switched onto him and he specifically passed to the guy Chet was guarding so he could score.
I respect Wemby for that.
Wemby mentally dominated Chet. Hopefully OKC has a sports psychologist/therapist for him to go to.
Wemby physically dominated all of the thunder
Chet’s only weakness is Weed and preparation. Wemby went to Munks for 2 weeks that’s next level dedication which a pot head simply does not have. If Chet locks in, he can save America 🙏🏾
I actually doubt he is a legit stoner but because of his demeanor it’s so easy to peg him as one.
What’s pegging got to do with this?
Wemby went to train with the Monks to prepare for Mortal Kombat to save Earthrealm. Basketball is just to pay the bills.
Its not even fair for the rest of the league
If he locked in and put on like 30 - 40 lbs.
He doesn’t have the frame for it. It’d cook his knees if he put on 40 pounds unfortunately.
What if those 40 lbs were all in his calves though?
A pot head who can’t gain one single pound?
Feel like he was rarely matched up on Wemby on defense either.
i mean this is clearly intentional, most teams with rim protecting bigs do the same thing and have them help instead of matchup on wemby
Yeah that I think is the just the best strategy against Wemby. Smaller strong guy denying and then having shot blocking help off.
And despite how much Wemby ended up with, I honestly thought Caruso on Wemby wasn’t too bad overall. It definitely was giving Wemby some frustration and was mucking up what the Spurs wanted to do on offense quite a bit.
its really your only chance to slow the guy down. and if okc cant do it with their team, its gonna be brutal for the rest of the league
And it makes sense. You put him on Wembanyama, you just made it easier for the other team to get in the paint.
This. I have a hard time blaming a guy “you’re the reason he got off” when that wasn’t your assignment largely all night.
That’s on the coaching. I swear people don’t watch games. Marks schemes the defense to have Chet roam and help on defense.
He’s an all star, and his must be enforcer was ducking everything physical.
100%.
Every Spur was bodying him lol
That one play where Harper was under basket and Chet hovering right over. Harper looked behind him saw Chet bumped him once and went up for an easy layup.
Yeah the Spurs basically force him into a 3pt shooter on offense and a help defender on defense.
Still a good player, but not your 3rd best, thats for sure.
He’ll be getting 40 mil to suit up next season for OKC, needs to start playing like he deserves that contract
Or, just to put it out there, he could go the ayton effort route
orrr the Thunder trade him for Giannis and picks then the league is fucked
I feel like OKC would be better off pairing Chet and Giannis together.
Giannis can take on the bigger physical big men that Chet struggles with, and Chet would be able to space the floor for Giannis while offering some rim protection as well. And Giannis would also be able to take some of the offensive load off SGA at the same time.
Think the odd man out would probably be Jalen Williams. But he’s also much better than Chet so OKC would have to give up less picks too (if any tbh) in this hypothetical trade.
And then run something like SGA/Ajay/Dort/Giannis/Chet, or even just go with some supersized massive lineup of SGA/Dort/Giannis/Chet/Hartenstein or something lol
That play moved Harper up like 2 stages in my mind.
Chet went down a stage
Harper is strong af which is quite confusing because is so god damn smooth
Such a rare combo
It’s like Kyrie too I forget how physical he plays but those elite rim finishers all have that
Ok I haven’t wanted to say it cuz idk that much about basketball BUT he’s like if Kyrie gained 25lb and 3in
And it doesn’t even matter what shape he thinks the world is, if he dribbles better on a flat one then so be it
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guard under 200 lbs bump a big out of their spot like that before. It was really strange to see
That’s because Chet is barely over 200lb himself lol
Harper was abusing him at both ends. I don’t understand how Chet got runner up for DPOY, like if Wemby hadn’t gotten to 65 games that guy actually would have won the award. He’s definitely not even the best defender on his team, Wallace is.
He did a good job going straight up. All Chet could do was foul at that point.
Chet was in good position originally after having to recover after doubling Wemby but he let Harper bump him back 2 feet and get closer to the rim at which point rim was protecting the shot. Not faulting him for the contest as much as how easily he gave up good positioning.
A stiff breeze would pose a formidable opponent to Chet. He really needs to gain some weight and get stronger. Even just 15-20 lbs would allow him to hold up much better and still maintain his mobility
Have you ever “just” put on 15-20 lbs before?
I have, but it wasn’t muscle
I always thought “Freshman 15” was just a hyperbolic expression until I literally gained 15 lbs my freshman year lmao
Yea but these dudes have access to the best chefs and personal trainers in the country
“What a pro wants…what a pro needs!” 🎶🎤😎🎵
It can be hard to put on 5-10. Easier for some than others, but gaining muscle is not easy. It’s a bit easier for an athlete with access to world class training and nutrition than it is for the average person, though.
It’s a lot easier when it’s your job, you can hire a chef, nutritionist, get massages daily, and literally have no other excuse but to work harder.
I don’t really see an excuse for him. Putting on 5lbs of muscle over a summer is not a crazy ask its extremely doable - especially for someone with his resources.
In his case you need a calorie surplus to make it possible. Eating a lot was not fun especially when the food has to be lean to not gain too much fat. That being said he could have a pro chef to make it as tasty as possible. That being said eating 4 to 5 meals is not for the weak. He looks like he eats at maintenance with a high metabolism + burning calories while working out. But let’s be honest, he needs to get on the juice like everyone who made a summer transformation
Well yes a calorie surplus is needed for basically anyone to gain muscle. And I know the eating can suck - I am 6’3” and was skinny my whole life. Until a few years ago I weighed 155lbs. Now I’m at 210. It sucked eating so much I was full / bloated all the time and constantly eating the same foods. It would have been infinitely more pleasurable if I had a chef / nutritionist and personal trainer handling all the BS for me. Honestly I’d bet he’s already on juice. He’s not the only player we’ve seen not take their dieting seriously despite the wealth of resources available to them couch Zion cough
Yes.
With Chet’s weight some of it could be fat and that’d probably be okay. He needs to get on one of those College/NFL lineman diet plans
When you’re that underweight then it’s not that hard.
For normal or fat people, it might be harder
Gained something crazy like 30 lbs the summer before my final season of college football. Lost all of it before the end of the season. It’s hard to maintain weight that’s more than you’re frame is naturally at
Yeah I have actually a few years ago when I was skinny as shit like Chet and wanted to gain weight. Most of it was fat but when you’re skinny as hell you just need to gain weight period, regardless of it being fat versus muscle. But I’m also not a professional athlete who can train and eat all day. And regardless, you know what Chet could use more of? Fat. Even if he gained 20 lbs of straight fat, he’d be much better for it. It’s really not that difficult to gain 20 lbs ….
yeah and I did it for fun and not because I was getting paid 50 million a year to do it
it’d be easier if I was roiding too
Yep, wasn’t just Wemby. Guys half a foot shorter than him were getting inside buckets easily.
If you’re not directly guarding Wemby, then you better be ready for help defense and ready when Wemby dumps it off to the block
Seemed like their guards just had to pump fake, bump into him and then go up to score. Chet’s defence (outside of being the help defender) was bad
Well that’ll happen when you have the physique of a wacky inflatable arm flailing tube man
He’s high key soft. He’s more concerned with drawing fouls instead of powering through contact like a man. That mentality eats away at toughness. You can see it
thunder as a whole outside of caruso and jdub didn’t play that well. ajay mitchell isn’t being guarded by reaves anymore
its not even just reaves. even when ajay blew by his man, the paint wasnt open with wemby in there
You’re telling me DominAyton didn’t have any paint presence?
Doesn’t help that Chet is terrified of wemby lol
Imagine being a once in a lifetime archetype and there happens to be a bigger, better, frencher version of you in the league at the exact same time
sacre bleu!
I get what he’s saying and don’t even disagree about how it affected the game. But, is this on Chet in the sense that this seems to have been a coaching decision to have Caruso on Wemby. It’s not like Chet was just not picking up Wemby of like his own “nah, you do it, man” because the coaches would have intervened if that was what was happening.
But the coach is only doing that because it’ gives them the best chance to win. The coach is saying I’d rather have one of my guards match up on Wemby than my 7 footer. That isn’t any better optics wise
Yeah, I don’t disagree with that. Just the idea that Chet “tucked his tail” or didn’t “step up” like Cousins is saying. I’m not saying it’s great that the coaches didn’t have faith in him matching up with Wemby, just that it was their decision, not Chet shirking his match up.
We’ve seen lots of players “take the assignment” in nba history. It’s only game 1 but Chet needs to tell coach, hey let me at him
IMO it’s the offense where he really should have stepped up more. He was 2-7, he needs to be better than that
I think the idea was to try to have Caruso play ball denial and try to knock the ball out of wembys hands and chet play help/rim protection/ late double.
Right. Previous two people are forgetting about team defense / implications of having Chet chase Wemby around the 3 point line.
It was working. The rest of the thunder just have to show up and play. Thunder don’t have to reinvent the wheel. They just need to use the players they have and do better by a small amount.
If it takes 2ot plus Wemby putting 40+ to win a game then the thunder really didn’t do that bad gameplanning.
That’s what I saw in the second half. Caruso was doing about as good of a job as a defender seems to be able to do against Wembanyama now despite the height difference. It had to be intentional after Caruso stayed glued to him for like 10 minutes.
I thought that it was because the SAS ball handling was so sloppy with Castle falling all over the place like he had soap on his shoes and Wemby staying so high on the key that they were hoping with Caruso to get more turnovers and disrupt feeding him. It was kind of futile (or was just because of Castle losing the ball anyway), but I thought Caruso was better than Chet would have been at it.
Chet has to come out and be ready to get bumped and be physical down low. He is supposed to be the paint presence and he wasn’t. It wasn’t the only reason they lost the game but it was a very big reason why they lost last night.
chet has to step up and say to the coach “let me do it”. chet tries to act non chalant like sga and ends up looking stupid half the time. he needs to have that drive and mentality to step up and take the challenge.
Maybe coaching decided the strategy because they know Chet is a little bitch?
poor pube lincoln
lol that’s so mean
dont blame me blame god
It’s not Gods fault dude won’t trim that monstrosity
God made him a 7 footer but gave him the Jimmy Neutron build. God is fair after all.
He has the perfect build for a climbing cyclist, unfortunately he’s like 16 inches too tall lmao
Holy fuck dude haha
Diabolical my dude hahahaa
i’m fuckin cryin over here lol
He has the same haircut as butthead from Bevis and Butthead. Once you see it you can’t unsee it.
Pube Lincoln and Chetanyahu have been by my fav names so far
I feel if asked everyone why the thunder lost game 1 most will have the same answer. Wemby. You can blame the poor outing of Chet on their being a paint protector but they still were in the game. They could’ve easily pulled this out and Chet’s 8 point game doesn’t matter. His team picked up his missing scoring. They just couldn’t stop Wemby when they needed to.
yeah i feel like it’s pretty reasonable that wemby is quite distortive on other centers as gamepieces, he solved gobert to end the wolves series and hartenstein saw the floor for all of 2 minutes. Is it reasonable that chet needs to play better for them to win? yeah, but like, what do you think he or anyone else can reasonably change within the next week that suddenly makes wemby not a matchup nightmare? It’s not an issue unique to chet, unfortunately for everyone else part of the reason wemby is so good is that he makes you so bad
No really, because Chet has been playing against or compared to Wemby his whole career. Nobody is asking him to “solve” Wemby, but to slow him down, the same way Iggy slowed down Lebron.
We don’t need you to stop Wemby, but reduce his impact. Chet’s role is to take that 41 and make it 35. If he does that the game is won. If he can do that 4 games, they win the series.
Idk, Wemby was amazing but SGA was missing so many warm up shots
SGA will improve while Caruso reverts back to the mean. They’ll cancel each other out.
As much as you want to say that, the fact that the game went to double OT means that even if Chet had played little bit better, the outcome would have been different.
wemby had 9 points in the 2nd ot and chet had 8 for the game lmao that’s wild
It’s not on the MVP?
Cousins is like Shaq in that he always blames the big man especially if he thinks they are soft
Their soft what?
Cousins doesn’t like “certain” types of people
he avoids blame so much more than any recent MVP its insane
That would be Jokic by a mile. SGA gets shit even if his team wins and I’m someone who hates Shai. He gets daily slander
Idk bro this and last year jokic took by far the most blame on his team in each of the losses despite Jamal completely ghosting in both series and on the same contract.
Sga gets daily slander in wins not because he’s bad it’s because people think he flops and gets an unfair whistle.
Jokic and sga both get plenty of blame in losses and I’d argue jokic gets more (probably deserved) for his horrendous defense against Minnesota in particular
Just not true.
Jokic putting up a single FGA in the second half of game 7 where a guard was his primary defender got less upvotes (like 1.7k) than Shai putting up 24 on 23 shots in 2OT game 1
Jokic got the best PR, especially on Reddit. The Wolves series this year was the worst he’s been blamed and even that is like a fraction of slander someone like Embiid gets
People slander SGA and Embiid mainly for what people think is egregious flopping. Embiid also gets his fair share of blame for the playoffs, but I would argue that is mainly because of repeated playoff failures with 0 successes to this point in his career.
The OKC game 7 was completely cooked by the second half (they were down 14 at half) + it’s pretty widely accepted that Caruso was fouling the fuck out of jokic repeatedly while getting next to no foul calls, and still most people end up blaming Jokic instead of Murray who was an incredible 6⁄16.
Imo there isn’t even really blame to pass around for that game because MPJ (6 points game 7) was hurt and shit all series, AG (8 points game 7) was clearly a corpse on the floor, and the Thunder were just the better team.
Begging for people to blame Jokic for game 7 is why rnba is the least serious and most reactionary sports sub by far.
If you want to talk about justified blame from this MN series, absolutely. He was terrible on offense and repeatedly getting fucked on defense, but comparing the two series as if they’re similar is just as braindead as saying he didn’t get enough blame for this series.
The MVP who averages 31 in 33mins but last night only had 24 in 51mins.
Nah he doesn’t get any blame.
7-23, 24 pts, 8 pts from free throws - he put up a stinker that isn’t talked about for whatever reason. The best players for the Thunder were Jdub and Caruso handily
Chet didn’t really tuck tail though. He was challenging Wemby and even made stops, but Wemby was just that overwhelming. Sometimes you just can’t do anything.
Ppl will just give Wemby all the credit for locking up Chet but Chet just looked scared. There were multiple times where he passed up an open 3 with a guard closing out on him.
I agree. Can’t be a $240M guy getting 8 points in the game. Needs to be more aggressive offensively
Chet hasn’t shown us he’s that guy. Offensively he’s not living up to the hype and definitely he’s not shutting the paint down like he should. He has no chance verse Wemby.
OKC doesn’t even need him to be a wizard on offense, this game went to double OT with both him and SGA having poor performances, they need him to turn the paint into prison, nobody expects him to shut Wemby down but make him uncomfortable, do the little things, he was blatantly scared of Wemby last night.
I remember people tried so hard to make these 2 a rivalry early on. Wemby just bullies this man
Myles Turner shut him down last finals. He can’t do anything against Wemby.
Chet has never had a good game in his career against Wemby. They’ve matched up 9 times now. He’s scored 10 points or less in more than half of those games and only reached 20 points once, in a blowout loss.
Hey now, in 2021 Chet won MVP in the 2021 FIBA cup vs Wemby! Wemby was 22⁄8 with 8 blocks vs Chets 10 points but they won
Listen. I hate OKC as much as any self-respecting fan not from Oklahoma. But there’s about 24 teams that would kill to have Chet. Wemby is just that good.
To be fair, it was not just Wemby outplaying Chet. They rarely even matched up on defense… it was the whole SAS team that basically made him invisible.
The fact that Daigneault prefers Caruso on Wemby is a strategic coaching choice, but then Chet should have shut down everyone else in the paint, and he did not, despite the fact that SAS were in a shooting slump from 3. If SAS manages to shoot better than 30% from 3, OKC will be in serious trouble.
The other part is that he needs to attack the paint, force some fouls, and establish the kind of presence he normally has.
SAS basically turned him into a 7’1” catch-and-shoot 3-point player.
He had a bad game, and so did SGA… shit happens. I will wait until the next game before judging too hard, but yeah, both SGA and Chet failed pretty badly in this one. There is no way your star duo, who cruised through the season, should be shooting 2-7 and 7-23.
Not sure why people are not talking about it, but a two-time running MVP should not be playing hero ball if he is shooting around 30%. There were many moments when he should have just passed. He even smoked a lightly contested 1-on-1 layup in transition while having 2-on-1 advantage.
Those 24 other teams aren’t competing for a championship
Bro is quite expensive.
How many contending teams can throw that much money to a 3rd option? I think that is his ceiling and he’s very good at that but still.
Aaron Gordon, Derrick White, Draymond, Jrue aint touching that money and those are the best 3rd options these last few yrs.
One thing that is always lost when Chet and Wemby play is that Chet is still a really fucking great player. Probably the second best defender in the league and a top 20 overall player. The issue is he’s playing against someone who either is or will be in like a month the best player in the nba who lives to make Chet’s life a living nightmare. Like he can definitely play better, but sometimes it’s really not about “accepting the challenge” sometimes players just aren’t as good as another player
Yeah this- what do we want Chet to do, grow six inches? He didn’t tuck tail, he was playing hard, he just got outplayed by a better player.
Bro… he had 8 points. He didn’t need to score 40 but damn you gotta get more than 8 points as a $240M contract guy on your team.
He’s definitely not the second best defender in the league. There’s a far gap from Wemby then Gobert to wherever Chet is.
he’s also definitely not top20 lol, dude is the 3rd option on his own team
I think it’s SGA, he’s been missing mid range shots he usually makes the past couple games. The double teaming is affecting him and it’s gonna be too late if he doesn’t figure it out soon.
I mean he was double teamed the entire game. He played terrible but chet had 8 points in 41 minutes getting guarded by guards half the time.
Terrible for his standards sure but ive seen plenty calling it an all time stinker despite him literally creating 59 points (more than half of the whole team) and being probably the best defender behind AC tonight. Yeah he wasnt efficient and had a couple bad misses/turnovers but he carried the load on both ends and even made reallt clutch plays. He was not terrible.
yeah and especially in the first half. In the second and the OTs he looked himself or close enough but the beginning was iffy
Chet’s signature move: roll around on the floor and pretend you got punched, hoping the refs throw the other guy out the game
Tried his moves on a 20 yo rookie PG 😭
The rivalry with Wemby, and the way the Spurs approach him, has turned Chet into a person he has probably never been before in his life. He looks frightened and inadequate. He should probably just punch Wemby and get it over with.
No one fears him and that’s a big concern if you are the thunder.
I knew he was soft as dog shit once Harper hit a shot right under the basket with him hovering over him.
What the fuck does DeMarcus Cousins know about defense?
the 7’2 ‘big man’ who couldnt post up a rookie point guard is not guarding Wemby. Not only can he not do it, but hes literally scared.
Not a single Spur respects him. Crazy how we target him lol
Got a good look of who really should’ve been MVP. While the one with the trophy sitting on the sideline for the last play of regulation.
Wemby will get his… You just can’t let him get 8 offensive boards on top of it. Chet is too skinny and weak to guard a player as tall and skilled as Wemby
They thought Caruso was bout to do Wemby like he did Jokic. Not happening. Different ball game
I’m with Boogie here. It’s not even that’s he’s not guarding Wemby, he was late on contesting every shot, and wasn’t impactful anywhere on the court. I kept waiting for him to get subbed out, and they went with him the whole game. He moves out there like he’s wearing concrete shoes compared to all the other players, just too slow. I think he has to play center if he’s going to stay on the floor.
I evaluate bigs on how they perform when matched up against someone taller and stronger. Chet has shriveled up every time against Wemby. I want to see what Wemby does if he plays against someone bigger than him to see if he shrivels up …. Most centers in nba do that not one wants to battle .
Chet just isn’t that guy. Imagine this team with a real post player or physical presence inside
Isn’t that what ihart was supposed to be? I just don’t think anyone can fucking guard Wemby and Chet not being able to get past fucking Harper is pathetic. Cant use your size to compete w Wemby and can’t use your size to abuse smaller players. Bros just out there being tall for no reason
Hart is just a poor matchup against us, he’s too slow and a non shooter. Because we basically play as a small ball team with a 7’5” center who is freakishly agile. Chet just never developed any offensive bag and he’s too skinny to play the 5, even against Wemby
And honestly like what are they supposed to do aside from (sadly) be insanely aggressive with him and foul tf outta him. They can’t double him because he dimes out to mfer who shoot 40% from 3. Chet needs to do a stunner or sumn to stop Wemby.
Yeah the biggest sin against Chet is he’s so lanky that he can be bullied by guys
What’s crazy is Harper weights 5 pounds more than Chet
“…out there being tall for no reason” bro lmao
every single time Wemby got matched up on him last night, he went AT him. it was like a bull seeing red
I have lapsed into casual fandom so haven’t watched much OKC this year, but I was baffled to see Holmgren not defending Wemby the entire game. Instead OKC spent long stretches with guys a full foot shorter than Wemby trying to guard him.
I would be absolutely ashamed to be Holmgren in that situation.
Hartenstein too. Can’t stand Caruso but at least he stepped up.
Some players you can’t do shit about. Wemby is referred to as an nba 2k create a player alien for a reason lol
8 points in a double overtime game is crazy. You had close to a full extra quarter of play. He was terrified
100%, genuinely annoyed me how weak he was on defense, I forgot who it was but someone much smaller drove to the rim, stopped gave Chet a small bump and got a easy lay, also on the possession where Wemby hit that crazy logo 3, Chet flopped on the rebound and we ended up in a 4v5 where nobody couldve stopped Wemby if he drove to the rim (but he decided he was 2016 Curry)
why we listening to boogie cousins postgame content?
The Spurs should be thankful for the Minnesota series. That taught them the grit and the grind needed for the post season. None of them are afraid to use their body at this point
As long as you don’t blame the MVP S’All Good, man!
Chet is food.
Shai couldn’t shoot for shit, that’s the reason
He stepped up on wemby’s foot
