SGA is left flabbergasted at a question directed at Chet’s offense
He really was flabbergasted, the title is not an exaggeration lmao.
Mf rubbed his chin, adjusted his monocle and said “hmmmmm”
Batman gif
Hmmmmmđ¤đ§đ¤đ§
tbh more of a befuddled or dumbfounded than a flabbergasted
Vexed
Flummoxed?
Best adjective hitherto.
Not really much you can do when your all nba center pussies out, ask detroit.
To be fair to Chet, he had no business getting all NBA and itâs not his fault they gave it to him.
He deservedly finished 2nd in DPOY. If that doesnât count for something what are we doing here.
That counts for runner up as DPOY
The 2nd best defensive player in the league averaging 17 and 9 on 65% TS on the best team in the league is a good choice for 3rd team all nba
Itâs not exactly in his (or his teams) favor to answer honestly.
I mean he can just say something generic like we just need to get him better looks or something the fact he was just legitimately bamboozled isn’t a good look lol
Yes sir. “We need to do a better job of getting him shots”. Every player in history has said that shit on repeat and it work all the time.
What makes it funny for me is the fact that he’s the PG of the team lol.
I keep coming back to laugh at this video and then all the guys in the replies who genuinely seem to be unaware of how a point guard interacts with a center lol. That or they have never watched a single press conference ever and think all these guys are out here normally giving away actual schemes for the next game off the dome lol. This is an all timer video for me as a hater
Well you canât even say âwe need to get the ball in his hands moreâ, cause every damn time he touches the ball he gets blocked or stripped. Incredibly frustrating series to watch from him.
I know itâs early to be talking about the off season, but if he doesnât put on 10-15lbs then the gap between him and Wemby is going to become a chasm. You can visibly see the Wemby has added significant muscle since his rookie season. Chet on the other hand is marginally bigger and doesnât have clearly defined muscle. As someone who had a lanky build I understand itâs difficult to put on weight and keep up cardio levels, but to quote Roy Keane âJust do your jobâ, and his job in this case is to get into better shape.
No one gives away their teams schemes for the next game in these press conferences and they’re all asked similar questions. Have you never watched a press conference before. The guy didn’t know how to answer the question because chet is a bum and for some reason he couldn’t think of “get him more involved early on”
Are you THE dirty Mike and the boys?
Yeah, we run a soup kitchen every Friday in the Prius out back. Here is your inviteâŚbring a tarp and probably a ladle.
âItâs on the other four of us to execute so we can play off of each other. If all 5 of us are making the right reads, getting to our spots, we can all get ours. Itâs less about getting Chet, or any one guy, going and more getting our offense as a whole going.â
I thought he got all the answers to the test though?
Yeah that’s a tough and valid question.
Anyone have the full clip? Feel like he was going to say how they could but then realized it’s probably not a good idea to give info like that out and was trying to think of a different way to answer the question lol
âYeah uhhh Lu Dort dives at Wembys knees can helpâ is not something he can really say but we all know he thought about it
https://youtu.be/c4ZdQP_w7-Y?si=M2AR32AcQ4OODXfd&t=160
The full clip doesnât make it look as bad. He was being sincerely thoughtful and gave a good answer.
No I want clickbait headlines only
SGA SLAMMED chets offense and RAILED against his effort. Team to discuss internally further. More at 9
9am or 9pm
I SAID NINE
It’s a pretty perfect encapsulation of this sub right now.
There was a clip of a generic answer from Wemby recently where he paused a while before answering and everyone was talking about how thoughtful he was and how impressed they were that he stopped to consider before answering.
SGA doesn’t answer immediately and it gets clipped and presented like he hates Chet. Lol.
Okay, but like, he’s not pausing. He legitimately looks flabbergasted. He was probably just thinking of how to word it, but if I was to choose a video to showcase what the word flabbergasted looks like, this would be a great one. His hand motions, facial expressions, and words are all on point.
No he doesn’t though? He just pauses for an unusually long amount of time. Flabbergasted very clearly implies an expression of dramatic shock, none of that happens. You’re just projecting what you’ve read into his pause onto him.
he really did not look flabbergasted to me, from the clip or full video context
his eyes arent wide like he saw a ghost, mouth agape. hes not in shambles
Hes not flabbergasted, hes not even in bewilderment
it just took him a bit longer than normal to come up with an answer, and he gave a pretty standard one ‘lol hes tall, play to his strengths and set him up as a dunker’ (paraphrasing)
Folks are absolutely looking for drama, though this is the NBA after all
Flabbergasted: “feeling or showing intense shock, surprise, or wonder : utterly astonished”
I don’t think he looks shocked, surprised, or in wonder. You’re describing something closer to “perplexed” or “baffled.”
If you watch more of his interviews though, he often pauses exactly like this for normal questions/answers. He’s not confused or perplexed. He’s just thinking and has a unique/expressive face. That’s why there are so many funny memes of his face.
This post is just lying.
3 min
Oh so he gave a good answer but took 6 seconds to think about it. What a dumb fucking post by OP.
Yeah thatâs all this is
I guarantee you he was not trying to hide any info lmao what are you talking about?? They haven’t even seen post game tape this is a press conference where you’re there to not get fined and to give non answers that look good. He couldn’t think of anything that would sound good, apparently. “How to help big man score” as a point guard does not require giving your Secret Plans away and this man is not playing 6d chess like that to begin with
same energy as ‘Spoelstra doesnt want to reveal that hes secretly trying to turn Jokic into a scorer’
I think folks give these pressers a bit too much power, while undermining how much really goes into gameplanning and how little of that could be conveyed in a couple of seconds even if they tried
Just say the non-answers. “I gotta play better, we got to execute better as a team, and get him in the ball in a spot where he can make a play on offense.”
SGA DESTROYS teammate Chet insinuates he needs hand held on offense and can only score in certain spots where he can make plays.
Yeah, Shai always takes a few seconds to answer questions like this
In fairness, he canât be droppin the game plan mid-post game press conference. Not much he can really say.
True, but thats not what this clip is giving lol. It gives the impression he is actually stumped lol.
The fucking “huh” while beard strokin gets me
I feel like a very tame and PR response talking about how he himself should perform better so that his teammates (like Chet) can benefit and play better, wouldâve been an excellent response.
Mans was thinking how to say nut up in corporate speak.
As per my last email, please go harder in the paint.
I hope this finds you well. Offense is tough, but we need more from you. Please become a better offensive player. Thank you for your time.
Warmly, Shai
More like get good lil bro or get traded to the nuggets
Iâve been saying it for two years now, but every other Thunder fan was too blinded by the championship to realize Chet isnât worth anywhere near what weâre about to start paying him. Iâve been done with Chet for a while now, but him getting punked by Keldon Johnson and Luke kornet was my last straw with him. Iâm fine with wemby wrecking him, wemby wrecks everyone and heâs a matchup nightmare, but Chet has zero fuckin motor.
When a dude’s banging you.
You spin off him
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTERÂ
Anthony Edwards would have said:
“He gotta nut the f up for sure and we gon’ come together as a team and figure out the best way for him to do that. He our brother for sure.”
Never gonna question Ant’s being a fucking ride or die for his team so far, thats for sure.
he wont nut up so they should just trade him before his max kicks in
Sign and Trade for Giannis
Bucks turned Giannis from a skinny lanky dude to a fucking tank. Maybe can do same for Chet.
Giannis beefed up pretty quick tho. Chet has been thin for going on 4 years in the league now
Giannis had cheese curds to give him strength.
Send him to Milwaukee for 2-3 years and forget
With the psychological chokehold Wemby has on Chet, OKC really should send him to Dagestan for 2-3 years and forget
To whom it may concern
Dearest chet
To your point, he needs to circle back and find his ball sack.
Lmao. Love this. I think SGA was trying to think of a way to answer the question without making Chet look bad.
Heâs not going to flat out tell his opponents in a post game presser what he thinks they can do to get Chet more involved offensively.
Surely after the clip cuts he gives some regular BS media trained response. That’s all he needs to do lol, a technical response is super far from the only option here.
Thatâs exactly what he does btw. Says he canât say much now but theyâll watch film the next day or two and have a better idea.
Do you guys really think NBA coaches are watching their opponents press conferences and going âah-ha! Figured out their plan!â?
These guys will be spending 90% of their waking hours between now and the next game dissecting film and discussing strategy. SGA saying âwe need to get Chet the ball in places where he can use his strengthsâ is no revelation to anyone.
Literally have you ever watched a post game preser. You can say any number of non answers that will still easily work for the question of “how to help big man score”. No one asked him for a detailed game plan lmao
âI need to do a better job of getting him the ball in dangerous areasâ
Itâs not that hard Shai
Funnily, I think this made it worse lol
I love how a shit teammate getting bailed out by Reddit. You don’t say shit. Period.
thereâs nothing to say other than to tell bro to stop being a pussy and getting punked by the whole fucking spurs team.
He could tell him to stop loading up his shot like it’s a trebuchet.
I’ve had packages delivered from overseas faster than the time it takes for Chet to get his shot off.
This. i deadass think this whole sub can block a chet jumper like how is you lettin champagnie block your shit like that
its somehow low and slow. idk how u have a low release point as a 7fter, its actually impressive
his jumper was perfect in college too thatâs whatâs weird idk if itâs the injury before his rookie year or our shooting coach did something but he needs to change it back
This shot against Phoenix should just be his normal shot
I think itâs the touches. His offensive role has been so diminished with so many other offensive options that heâs regressed.
Not really, he has been treated as the #2 option until the WCF match-up because he struggled offensively in the regular season series vs Spurs.
man idk, why would the shot mechanics youâve had since you were like 17 change form just cause youâre taking a few less FGA ? like i would get lower efficiency and all that, but ingrained mechanics ?
I promise you the average redditor cannot jump high enough to block a chet shot
We’re not talking about the average redditor. We’re talking about r/nba members, that’s an elite club of athletic guys with an average height of at least 6’4”.
Also we all got that dog in us, in other words Chet is getting punked.
Actually Iâm 7â6â with a 10â standing reach, the body composition of Dwight Howard, and a 58â vert with the agility and athleticism of a jungle cat, but I decided against being the first Wembanyama instead i just sit back and critique all the players who are beneath me in the NBA, while I utilize ChatGPT to fill out applications for me, emphasizing on my work as a crypto investor.
My hero <3
Question: Am I allowed to just clothesline him from a trampoline?
Which is crazy to me, because has the most trebuchet shot i have ever seen and his jumpshots never get blocked and chet has like 13 inches on him
And julian was so far from that one and still blocked it before it barely got out of his hands lol
(If youâre talmbout the g3 shot)
i swear it wasn’t always that slow. idk what happened to his form but he makes jokic’s 3s look fast
100%this. I could block chets shot from my couchÂ
I mean heâs not stronger than anybody in the spurs frontcourt and Wemby is his father so heâs going to continue being punked until he adds several pounds of muscle
iâm sure he can do something now though i mean this dude is gettin fucked up by devin vassell man
That man playing great why you dissin
trust me i fw devin vassell heâs a stud but Chet canât be lettin someone that shorter than him block a putback like that đ
Yao got stuffed by Nate Robinson. Sometimes dudes just time things right, and dunking through contact is much harder than you think it is.
Idk if any casuals casually watching this series would recognize Chet as all-NBA. Caruso and McCain have stood out more, alongside SGA.
Honestly he’s not stronger than most of our back court. He’s also only got a weight advantage on like 3 dudes on our team.
Thunder trainers gonna get the menu to force feed Chet like a goose in France. Gavage that stick man.
All them steakhouses in OKC just lock him up in one of them every night.
Wemby gets weightroomed by little guys all the time and this entire playoffs refs have allowed leeway to guard him pretty aggressively
Chet has the size he just needs to play with more intensity
That’s more a center of gravity thing I’d imagine. Chets gotta deal with that issue and the fact he’s lighter than most players on the floor.
Why hasn’t Wemby just played while squatting and spring up at the last minute?
âSurprise motherfucker!â
Is it a mental thing with Chet? I was checking some old clips him and Wemby has the same build / frame. Wemby improved and got stronger while Chet remained the same. Chet has been winning all his life, probably he needs the extra push and motivation like Wemby
some people just canât gain weight like that. iâm sure Chet is trying as much as he can. His teammates be saying he can throw a couple plates downđ
Do they not have chicken fried steak in OKC???
yuppp canât forget braums toođ
Bread and butter plates.
I’m convinced he doesn’t actually care about putting on muscle. I’m sure he burns an absurd amount of calories playing basketball, but you can put together a delicious peanut butter / banana protein smoothie with 2000+ calories every night before bed on top of his daily meals if it was strictly a calorie intake issue.
I feel that its probably a pretty complex thing he would have to go through over multiple years. If he puts it on too quick he increases his injury risk, and on that, he has had setbacks with injury a few times. Hard to rehab them. Hard to rehab them if youre heavier.
He has actually put on size believe it or not.
think itâs just easier to ignore people who think this 7â1 freak is gonna put on supremely noticeable muscle in a year or w/e accelerated time span they have in their heads,
when 8⁄12 months of the year heâs already balancing/catching up on the NBA endurance/physical load eating wise
I will say, I think people vastly underestimate all of our players bulkness, against the Timberwolves Randle tried to bully ball everyone but Fox and was stonewalled pretty frequently.
Chet need to put on some muscles. Literally anyone on the Spurs can bully him.
This is indirectly the funniest thing he’s ever done.
Itâs the âhmmâ that really does it for me. His brain is working in overdrive at that point trying to not throw Chet under the bus lmao
hrmmmmmmmm đ¤
“Uhh Umm Yeah Hmmm”
I’m laughing my ass off, this is brilliant
I have the answers to the questions I just need to see the test
This will instil even more confidence in Chet.
Hartenstein just glad reporters didn’t ask about him this time
nah thats actually the craziest thing from tonight
What a pro wants, what a pro needs
Whatever makes pro happy sets pro free
And he thanks the refs for knowing exactlyÂ
The thing that makes this funnier is that his responses are usually really grounded pretty fast. He was genuinely just flabbergasted by this đ
I don’t think he’s flabbergasted in the way it appears - moreso thinking of way to say something that doesn’t make Chet look shitty
Idk if youâve watched many of his interviews because itâs literally the opposite. He always thinks quite a while before answering, although I donât doubt this one was stumping him
pretty fast.
This is how you know people are just saying shit. SGA often takes a long time to answer questions during press conferences. A pause like this is really common.
I’m crying
âThereâs a lot of things we need to work on both individually and as a team. Weâll have to spend some time watching film to get a better sense of what changes we need to make for the next game.â
Simple as
“hmm idk he ass”
Even the mvp is clueless
That âhmmmâ wan genuinely him not knowing
Thatâs a foul by the reporter.
He literally went “hmmmm” rubbing his chin, I’m dead.
Gasted flabbs are always hard to gauge
Damn that is tough. Bro just say you gotta watch the tape and figure it out lmao
He did eventually say that lol
WEMBY sends his regards.
That “hmm” kills me đđđ
This is really a nothing burger of a clip other than IMO a sign that chet is a fucking bum and these cats can’t win with him but the comments pretending like SGAs playing 5d chess to hide OKCs plans are so lame and ruining the conversation. Chet is unplayable against Wemby and SGA knows he cannot really elevate his game mentally or physically. I think he genuinely just cannot find a very delicate way of answering this immediately which is stupid because you just have to give a non answer here, you’re a point guard man you know how to help a center on offense it really is not that deep. Embarrassing for Chet
well if you dont fall down doing a HBK bump, dont expect to get your points
SGA is Floored by this question
I absolutely called it from the beginning that this was going to be a nightmare scenario for Chet. He just doesn’t match up well against the Spurs
Treasure chest being emptied for Giannis confirmed
I wonder if he was trying to decide if calling him out would be beneficial and then decided the answer was no.
He went “No…not that…not that either…no”
Chetâs a bitch.
How do I say, hurt wemby without saying that
[deleted]
that isn’t a good enough performance from Chet given the contract on he is on
Good bot
I donât think âflabbergastedâ means what you think it does. Heâs left âbefuddledâ perhaps.
WTF is Chet supposed to do? He canât put on 80 lbs of muscle ice a few days. He gets bullied because he weighs 90 pounds
SGA: “I have all the answers I just don’t know the the question yet”
Reporter asks a question
SGA: “uhhhhhhh”
same energy as buying time after your teacher catches you daydreaming and asks you a question
This is hilarious, I can already see the meme potential
Didn’t have the answers to that one
Flabbergasted is a perfect word association with the faces he makes
Guess he donât have all the answers after all
Teach him how to land for free throws
âFlop more and not pass that big dumb white bitch the ballâ
Iâm not the biggest SGA fan but I honestly canât stand when people criticize someone for thinking about the answer to a question.
2 things I’ve noticed from a guy who didn’t watch a lot of the Spurs or OKC….how did Chet make 3rd team All NBA? And how did Keldon Johnson win 6th man? I think KJ put it off the side of the backboard 3-4 times this series.
Undeserving of all-NBA third team
Chet be trying to take it easy while the guards go to work.
Iâve never understood why reporters ask questions that have to do with future game plans and adjustments. Like, yeah let me just tell the spurs what to expect next game.
the repeat mvp point guard can’t find a way to get you involved, it might be that you suck
you can lead a fish to water but you cant teach him to flop
Very awkward 5 seconds. Isn’t doing too well with questions about teammates these days
the genuine inquisition is fantastic. i like to imagine this is OKC fans reaction to seeing AI chet intro graphic for the first time
I appreciate SGA not just going no comment at this one but thatâs a hilarious first response lol, like âdamn good questionâ
I seriously thought this was ai when I saw this earlier. Heâs had some really weir interviews this series.
He knew the answer but didnât want to expose it to lose competitive advantage. So he was contemplating how to phrase it without revealing their postgame adjustments.Â
Minimally Verbal Personage
Coulda just gave a gotta get him the rock earlier in the game, get him in the flow earlier, get him to his spots, get him better looks, etc. I mean its not rocket science those are super easy generic responses, guess they just havenât lost in so long that theyâve forgotten how to address the media
And that is exactly what OKC looked like on the court today.
masterclass in restraint to avoid throwing a teammate under the bus. results in a funny clip and no shade on shai’s character
doc rivers could never
Having watched the whole clip, at first he is stumped and after a moment he collects his thoughts and gives a fairly basic answer about finding him in the paint and taking advantage of Chet’s strengths as a player but he’s unsure what that would look like till watching film.
Even his answers flop
âWell, we both are generational pussyâs. I think getting back to our roots would help.â
Because he knows Chet ain’t doin shit this series, his job is to pester Wemby, SGA wants to soak up his plays
SGA slandering his teammates left and right
Always good to create new generational heels. SGA has got “Lie, Cheat, Steal” heat at the moment. Primed for a run with the Intercontinental Title.
I was expecting this to be an insult that he wasn’t willing to reply to lol.
Is Chet still beating his wife? Reporter was a plant.
He should have said âI donât know how to do a heart transplant.
If it doesnât involve flopping, he doesnât have the answers.
