[Highlight] Chet gestures at Wemby’s foot, then steps on it to prevent him from getting an offensive rebound during a free throw
Damn, they had generic Draymond, now they got ozempic Zaza
OKC fans will defend this dirty play by saying they shot less FTs
bitch ass team
bitch ass fans
if they just accepted it and played up to it like say duke fans it would be fine. but no they somehow see lakers and Celtics fans agreeing with each other and somehow still think they are right on any subject matter.
My boss is a Celtics fan, grew up in Boston during the Bird era. He was rooting for the Lakers to at least get one game against OKC. Weird times I tell ya
Lol yeah. At least Warriors and Lakers fans weren’t crying “Why don’t you like us” when they were winning. They have a dominant team and their first concern is that their 2 time reigning MVP is still at best the 18th most popular player in the league.
That’s the funny part, they’ve got the wins, the MVPs, and the spotlight, yet somehow still act personally offended that everyone else isn’t obsessed with them too.
The persecution complex is my favorite. Saw a Thunder fan hate on the Spurs for being “gifted three top picks in a row” and going straight to the playoffs without having to struggle, all while being the NBA’s darling… as if the Thunder weren’t gifted a franchise that just drafted KD and Westbrook and would go on to draft Harden the next year, resulting in one down season before ripping off 50 wins and becoming the NBA’s darling.
The lack of self-awareness is something else.
Can’t stand fanbases who don’t get that everybody is the villain to somebody else at some point. Playing along and being the villain in someone else’s story is a part of being a good sport. If you insist on playing the good guy or playing the victim every single time, people aren’t going to like you.
That’s the worst part. They got me agreeing with rocket fans and rooting for the lakers to win. Fucking methlahoma
I also legit hate the Spurs (still respect the hell out of them) and I am hard core on their band wagon in this series against Bitchlahoma City
It’s hilarious to watch their games. 80% fatass white rednecks struggling to stand, shouting “O-K-C” the entire game
Laughing during the beginning of the last game because they had to stand there for like five fucking minutes before OKC can actually score a point
They collapsed onto their seats all out of breath after that shot.
If they weren’t ranked 47th in literacy rate they’d be very angry at your comment
Fck this team okc. I hope spurs defeat them.
We all do. #UnitedInHate💫
Wemby is the alien of the people
Nah more like cheTnyahu!
Now that my wolves are no longer in contention, I sincerely hope spurs win the WCF
Fewer*
NBA fans🤝🏾 creative insults
Chetanyahu, FTA, Cailou, this sub has some good insults.
Chetanyahu plss stop 💀
It’s more real than you’d think lmao
Chetanyahu
Lmao holy shit. That’s probably up there with Darvin Hamas.
Ethical hoopers. You could probably do a stand up with material that’s posted on here.. Good stuff.
Ozempic Zaza is crazy 💀💀
Zazazempic? Zazempic? Ozazampic? Ozempachulia?
Zazapbound
Ozempic Zaza lmao, r/nba slander nickname game been stepping up
OKC dirty ass fuck..
Lu Dort hasn’t even tried to injure anyone yet. Just wait till tomorrow.
That’s my main concern, this is the exact team in the exact situation where someone will likely try to seriously injure Wembanyama. The league has to handle that deadly seriously.
I suggested on another thread that any deliberate act that injures Wemby should be punished by Shai being sidelined for the entire duration of Wemby’s absence.
Sanctioning someone like Dort or even Chet is no use, they aren’t as important to the team. And they’re probably doing it under instruction.
I literally was thinking exactly that after writing the post. Suspend not only Dort/Chet, but SGA as well.
I know back in the days when it was really dirty, this type of play was kept under control because the opposing team would take out your star player if you took out theirs. Seems like something like that may be necessary if some players and teams won’t stop being dirty.
Yeah cuz the NBA is never gonna do that unless forced. It’s gonna need to be the Spurs themselves doing it and making it so ugly that then the NBA changes a rule or something lol
That’s exactly why fighting exists in hockey. The only real disincentive for an end of the bench player taking out the other team’s star is them getting their face punched in.
Bang on.
In football(the real one 😉) , at least we’ve got red cards to make players think twice before trying to injure someone.
Basketball needs an appropriate punishment. Ejecting a nobody so someone else can take his place is stupid.
Yes, it’s funny that they have all that flopping and haven’t controlled it (just like the NBA), but they took care of that kind of dirty play at least.
The flopping is pathetic I agree.
However, refs in European football don’t make it easy on themselves. Players who don’t flop but are quite clearly fouled, rarely get calls their way.
So the players resort to it.
I think that’s why Vlade Divac said he started flopping against Shaq. He was getting hit and the refs weren’t calling it so he decided to make it extra obvious and turn the crowd against the refs. I actually don’t mind that, but that’s of course accentuating a REAL hit, guys now make-up fake hits, and the league should probably review tape after every game and hand out fines for it, and let players make appeals for uncalled stuff too so they don’t feel the need to flop as much.
i only started following basketball as a teenager so i vividly remember learning about a lot of things for the first time & when i found out an “”““ejection”“”“” doesn’t leave you with 4 men my eyes popped out their sockets. maybe cynical of me but i’ve never understood why there isn’t more bench bum on superstar violence when the punishment is a slap on the wrist
Yeah it’s quite stupid. A flagrant 2 should hurt your team, not just result in your own ejection.
Right. The world will mainly remember X team winning a championship. An injured Wemby will just be some footnote at best when all is said and done.
That’s just pure desperation right there by Chet. Because he’s so outplayed by Wemby, he has to resort to this pathetic act. Caruso being all over Wemby is not any better. Like cmon, do that to Shai and the defender will foul out guaranteed.
I personally think any player being intentionally injured by a dirty play should be taken deadly seriously
I was already concerned before, but especially now after losing like this, I would not be surprised if Thunder tried “accidentally” somersaulting into Victor’s legs. They proved they wouldn’t lose sleep over that.
Wembys teammates need to be on alert for any of that kind of shit. Dort especially.
I mean, Lu Dirty already tried to target Luka’s knee in their 24 west semi series, so it wouldn’t be the first time he try to “accidentally” injure someone while trailing in the playoff
Thunder fans are in hell right now reading through this sub lmao
They already live in Oklahoma, hell is an upgrade.
They’re from Oklahoma. Let’s not be certain they’re reading this sub.
You think they can figure out text-to-talk?
Their case workers set it up for them.
Dirtbag of a team.
That’s what really pissed off the other players. They all say the same, they are dirty as shit but you can’t touch them. Not like their players do it, but chet was pulling Wemby’s arm all night too.
We all knew that teams would get frustrated or overwhelmed playing against Wembanyama and would eventually cheat or try to injure him. It’s up to the league to keep it under control, unless they want to lose their best talent ever to a Lu Dort step-under. I’m not confident that Adam Silver is the kind of guy who can stop this.
And they have enough talent to not need to be. Karma is catching up to them now though.
Where are all the OKC flairs defending this one?
Heck I’d settle for some condemnation
What about a light, equivocal condemnation?
“There are bad people on BOTH sides” /s
They disappeared and mind you Half of r/nba are thunder fans or have thunder flair. That’s amazing.
They will gaslight people when they win a game and compare themselves again to how much hatred the Warriors dynasty got,
I’ve hated dynasties since I was a kid. Growing up I hated the Lakers, Spurs, Patriots. Always preferred the underdogs.
The warriors were different for some reason, maybe it was cuz I liked Curry or the fact that the majority of the talent was home grown and they just became a powerhouse after being so bad for so long, (sans kd).
These thunder are a team I would like to like… but I just can’t. I refuse to watch them, I don’t even consider them on a dynasty level, but they’re just bad for the sport.
Those warriors also played one of the most enjoyable to watch styles of basketball over the last few decades. That 2014-15 team was just so much fun to watch
Plus the fact that Steph became a generational player when early on it looked like injuries might derail his entire career.
You just identified yourself as a hater. You hate dynasties but we’re okay with LeBron forming the corniest super team of all time in Miami? Stay corny, my guy
Soft, fickle dick riders. All of em.
You were probably hyperbolising, but it made me think of this post, where a user actually counted
Half of r/nba are casual bandwagon fans then.
They even made a post calling it dishonest or sth
They are off prepping their next “Is Shai better than Kobe/MJ?” posts in case he scores 30 (off 19 FTs) tonight.
bEsT gUArD sInCe mJ
You just hate them because they’re better! Something something
It was bad.
Honestly, thank you.
They are changing flairs so they can come across as unbiased fans.
They are bad people.
Refs better catch that next game. Pretty dirty move.
Why does it have to be next game, they are supposed to review games for shit like this.
And fine him? Who cares about a fine. Obviously not worthy of a suspension
Fine him for first occurrence as an unsportsmen like play. Happens again bigger fine and/or suspension. Get that type of bullshit out of the game.
Fine him and set the precedent for next game.
Non-basketball play and could argue intent to injury.
Happens again straight to ejection.
Yep, fine and assess a technical after the fact.
Nah they shouldn’t just let this fall by the wayside like they do flops. They have the means to do something.
Call out and fine is great. Forces OKC and Chet to face it and the media to talk about it.
These guys don’t like getting embarrassed… Other than actual psychopaths like Draymond.
This shit is dangerous. Pretty sure it fucked up Yao Ming’s longevity or something
[removed]
This meme has crazy legs
Bibi if you’re listening, OKC are close to developing a nuclear weapon
This got me good lmao
This OKC team is so easy to hate, between Chet’s flopping and this kinda shit to Dort’s dirty plays, I am really rooting against them.
You forgot Caruso being a humble hardworking G-league call up turning into a big-headed bald prick
don’t put that camera in his face, he doesn’t want anyone else to notice how much he looks like elmer fudd in spacejam.
If Elmer had pubey looking sideburns
According to Thunder flairs, he was doing that to prevent the Spurs learning about their OT strategy. Totally makes sense. Not Caruso being a bitch or anything.
Well he gets away with hacking the fuck out of everyone all game.
Seeing Caruso talking shit to Wemby legit had me dying laughing🤣 Maybe go talk to Carter Bryant or something brother, there is levels to this shit
Yeah, I like the guy but he was just hacking at some points.
Dort’s been getting away with some seriously questionable stuff for years now, it’s wild how little attention it gets. Chet pulling this against Wemby feels personal too, like he’s trying to prove something.
Well his 8pts and 8 reb versus Wemby’s 41⁄24 proves something lol.
Wemby had more offensive boards than Chet (or any thunder player) had total rebounds. Oh and Wemby outscored Chet and Shai combined!
Chet gotta prove he’s even remotely capable of playing against Wemby. The media commentary around him is legit, every time OKC matchup with Spurs Chet look shook.
Their fans make it even easier lol I don’t recall Warriors fans being this annoying and obtuse during y’all’s run last decade. Aside from the one “Steph took Lebrons crown” comment that lives in infamy on this sub lmao
Oh they were, online discourse was just a little mellower ten years ago
The only one worse than Chet in that team is Dort
Fuck Caillou and his twin Alex Caruso
I was doing with Elmer Fudd but I think I prefer Caillou thank you
I used to like Caruso but now Fuck Caruso. He aint ethical anymore.
From a beloved Laker to a hated Thunder.
You can’t go from a team that brought you up from the G league, got you a ring, and made you an NBA player to saying the ring you got with the guys who brought you out the mud isn’t real. Remember where you came from
Bruh that’s what I been saying. He talking shit to LeBron saying the 2020 ring wasn’t real. Who the fuck talks shit about their own championship? Front running ass mf
Dort plays defense like he’s trying to start a bar fight every possession lol. Chet at least has some finesse to his game.
Gumby with a flopping fetish has finesse to his game?
Same team that pointed and laughed at the Lakers for complaining to the refs btw
And the Lakers weren’t even complaining, AR got disrespected by the ref. It had nothing to do with the game lol.
Caruso looks like a kid climbing all over their dad when he tries to guard Wemby, and they let him get away with it.. & then when Wemby gets annoyed with it and wants to get better position early & Caruso just flops back and they go look at it for a flagrant 🤣🤣 Like Caruso hasn’t been clawing and grabbing the shit out of Wemby every possession he is on him🤣
That’s why I was getting annoyed when people were saying the game was called fair. Like yeah OKC didn’t dominate the FTs…but Wemby got fouled 10x more than what was called lol.
This one going to get removed too?
I think the other one got removed because it was a phone recording of of a screen
Unfortunate because the close up in that one gave a much better view of how egregious it was imo
Fuck this goddamn ass team. It’s obviously a culture thing with them. The Houston Astros of the NBA.
Never thought i would be agreeing with a Lakers fan. The whole team looks for fouls, they hand check at half court and bear hug the players on the other team. For sure its a culture they have.
And it’s embraced because it worked last year. And is working this year
It only stops when it doesn’t become effective either through fines or certain teams losing games
As a Sonics fan , love reading these comments. We knew they are what is the worst of the nba. Team stealing ultra tankers
I like the concept of baseball as a sport but it sucks that I can’t really root for my hometown team because they did some dumbass shit to win lmao
You can. All the cheaters are gone. Other teams have happily embraced them. And they won another title.
Altuve exists?
Dickhead move probably won’t lead to injury but why not just play normal. Also stop ducking him when the clocks running.
Because they don’t win if they don’t do stuff like this? I mean last season, the amount of shit they did, still ended up being 2 game 7s, 1 against short-handed Nuggets with AG and MPJ hurt, and Hali of course injured as well. If they are not consistently fouling, being dirty and flopping, they don’t win given how details change outcomes this much.
And this is not even like a hater comment, its just objectively true
why not just play normal
These people don’t play normal. They literally stole the franchise from Seattle. And the fans continue to give them a standing ovation, which is the worst part.
This is a ridiculous thing to bring up to shame the fans about. LA stole the Lakers from Minneapolis.
Fake news, everyone knows Los Angeles is famous for its iconic lakes.
Silver Lake
I think about this a lot. Like, Minnesota is known for their lakes. “A land of lakes”. Hence, Lakers.
And Los Angeles, a city in a fucking desert, decided to keep the name Lakers? What the shit is that?
At least OKC didn’t call themselves OKC Supersonics, I guess
The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee, where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City, where they don’t allow music. The Oakland Raiders moved to LA and then back to Oakland. No one in Los Angeles seemed to notice.
I mean he started off by implying that Chet, Dort and SGA literally went to Seattle and took the team themselves…
Chet was like 9 when the move hsppen as well lmao
Bad argument bruh, doesn’t even make sense
6 year old chet personally made sure to steal seatles team so he could have a standing ovation aftwr playimg dirty
There is no fucking way a Lakers fan is talking about ts. Your franchise does not play on a level playing field with the rest of the league.
He explodes off that foot and it has all of that weight on it, it will definitely lead to injurry. Likely, that was more the point then stopping the rebound.
If chet weighed more than a damp paper towel in might have injured him.
FUCK OKC, FUCK SGA, FUCK LU DORT FUCK LU DORT FUCK LU DORT AND FUCK CHET.
what a great day to hate OKC. every day is good day to hate OKC
missed Alex Curuso
he was hooping last game so I’ll give him a temp pass and then double the hatred next game
AND IF YOU WANNA BE DOWN WITH OKLAHOMA, THEN FUCK YOU TOO!
It’s so weird. OKC should be a super popular team. Small market! Smart trades! SGA being a good soldier through the bad years, trusting the team. Caruso is a great story - he was a g-leaguer! Everybody should love them.
And instead I’ve yet to talk to a single neutral who is rooting for them. They’re so fantastically unlikeable.
SGA is Harden-esque in going for the whistle instead of the bucket, and the worst part is he usually gets the whistle.
Chet loves to flop and Dort has been known for being dirty - actually both Chet and Dort are kinda getting that reputation.
Caruso is a great story, except his head is getting bigger with OKC’s success, and also that he’s been criticized for being dirty.
Overall, just too much unethical basketball and the league didn’t help by letting them get away with it. The hate they are getting is pretty expected, and we didn’t even mention the fanbase yet.
Yeah the hate is completely warrented. I don’t have an issue with any of the teams winning the chip except OKC. SGA spends more time on the ground than he does standing up. Such a boring way to play the game.
Don’t forget a Stolen team. With stolen history and earned draft picks.
damn, i hate OKC, but sometimes i wonder if anyone here actually watched prime harden… i hate that part of shai’s game, but as a player he’s not nearly as offensive to me. harden was playing insurance fraud basketball
Their fans are insufferable. Entitlement and gaslighting for days. Makes it impossible to like an otherwise likable team.
Except for Dort. Nothing likable about that cheap hack.
Edit: I almost forgot the rampant sense of false victimhood. Can’t forget that.
If Oklahomans could read, they would be very mad at these comments.
No one is coming out to defend chet this past 24 hrs lmao. I think their fans also pissed at him because of his play everytime they go against Wemby, and now his “tactics” are getting exposed to be seen by everyone on the biggest spotlight right now
They had one dude who passed 5th grade read through all these comments for the entire town, to keep everyone up to date.
It’s taking a while though, that dude took 3 years to pass 5th grade but hey, he’s doing the best he can.
Thunder fans? Where you at?
They’re distracted by the free throw as it’s their favorite thing to watch
I watched one highlight on OKC vs Pacers and i got confused as majority of the highlight was with Pacers even though OKC won that game and so i got curious and checked the box score and realized they had 26 free throw attempts.
Tbh i dont remember a single moment from their title run, like what was the highlight?
I’m pretty sure the thunder’s biggest highlight from that run was Hali going down.
Chet trying to find all the ways to pull a zaza
Makes me wonder if OKC practice dirty underhanded shit like this to pull off during games to gain an edge. I guarantee they’re going to try and intentionally injure Wemby at some point in this series.
I mean.. they already did. It’s right here.
Someone needs to infiltrate their discord. I know they are searching for a similar clip to astroturf with. They are the most sensitive fan base despite all the success.
They legitimately can’t say this is wrong without a whataboutism.
most sensitive fan base despite all the success
Because 29 other fanbases know they’re doing it in the most disgusting way possible. Flopping, dirty plays, using the whistle to get an advantage.
They’re talented enough to actually fuck shit up without their methods, but they’re rotten from the top down.
Wemby elbowed the wrong guy/team
/s
To be fair he might kill Chet. Naz a thick man..
Chet’s head might literally fly off his neck
This is mild compared to what Dort has done to Luka, Booker, Morant, and countless other star players
Yeah it’s a hoe move but Dort intentionally tries to injure other players
This is a sneaky intentionally trying to injure play
It’s fairly easy to injure a knee or ankle if you’re pinning the foot and they try to quickly move.
Someone post this on okc sub lol
I wish I could. They gave me the softest ban in the history of bans for previously pointing out a similar issue
Chet Hoegren
Do refs review this sht? So they can be aware the next game?
It’s stuff like this that players are usually talking to refs about during the game. Especially if it’s something that is consistently being done. After the game teams typically send film to the league with things to watch for.
I imagine the players pointing things out in game helps more.
Everything about Chet screams ‘make-a-wish kid that lived’
This is not just dirty, this can lead to a season ending injury. Fucking losers man, this is worse than flopping. How fucking sad can one team be.
Thunder fans? Any in here? LOL dirty ass motherfuckers. OKC’s downfall will be r/nba’s 11⁄25.
The day before thanksgiving is usually pretty tight since the next day is a holiday, but I don’t think that’s what you’re going for here lmao
OKC so easy to hate because this shit. You got me a Celtics fan rooting for the lakers, you got lakers fans rooting for the spurs… like that’s generational rivalries tossed out because fuck this team. Fuck Lu Dort trying to injure players. Fuck Chet and Shai bitchass Alexander, the flop queens.
You’d think after missing his rookie year with a torn foot ligament he’d be a bit more respectful.
The foot step def intentional, but the gesture is prob just cuz Wemby over the line
Easy hate for Okc. You won’t see their fanbase defending this one here but go anywhere else where the evidence isn’t in their face and they’ll deny, deny, deny.
What do those hash marks mean?
watchout tomorrow, heads will flail, dort will dive on knees, caruso will anchor his whole weight on Wembys lower body, chet will roll on the floor
Not only is he flopping everywhere like a fish now he’s a dirty dog too. They are so easy to hate
that’s dirty, man, c’mon.
To add a little context: he’s gesturing to say that Wemby’s foot is over the hash mark. He then he puts his foot on top of Wemby’s foot as if to say ‘well your foot shouldn’t be in the space where my foot should be’.
“Why do people not like the OKC THUNDER”….
OKC flairs are literally nonexistent in this thread lol
Chet cant win without flooping and doing shit like this
