[Highlight] Mason Plumlee hits Jared McCain hard in the back, in garbage time (with replays). Isaiah Hartenstein having some words with him and then with Bismack Biyombo, who stepped up for his teammate as well.
the double standard on this sub is absolutely baffling. If this was any thunder player this post would have had like a 1000 comment by now.
It would legit get 30k upvotes lmao. They’d say it’s evidence of the Thunder being a dirty team that can’t win without dirty tactics, but will be silent bc it’s the “good guy” Spurs (I hope ppl realize they really are not by now)
Frl I just saw someone post the clip of castle pushing j dub in the back and all the comments were just talking about it’s what OKC deserves
You should’ve seen nbatalk on the video of chet getting pushed by fox into wemby.
They were legit going on about how chet deliberately fell into him and how bipedalism and evolution meant it was easier to balance after a shove on all fours and impossible to fall the way he did. Tried to say he’d already regained his balance after the first stumble, while his torso while still horizontal lmao.
I had to mute that sub, it’s basically a glorified Thunder hate group.
“this is what diagonal coaches them to do in practice, this is why I stopped watching”
It’s been fun seeing how things have shifted over the past few years but the Mark hate this season has been an interesting one lol can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen very highly upvoted comments on here about how Mark teaches them to play dirty
“This is obviously what their coach is teaching them to do in practice”
the whole league hates the thunder and any chance the nba has they will HATE on the thunder and not the opposing team (spurs fan) also the agruement of fighting fire with fire along with the all hail cullen mason plumlee plumzilla trend
The hate is too strong for reason to survive.
If dort did it would be top of the week
Oh I remember what even media members were saying about elbowing Naz Reid in the throat
“He was just defending himself he was getting slapped, what do you want him to do? 🥺🥺🥺”
It shows fight! Grit! What an alien!
Mason Plumlee “revenge game” in game 6!
“heroic comeback”
“the game was over why does it matter” type responses by them probably
Meh, it was a dumb decision and foul. I’m surprised he didn’t get a tech.
Spurs just have a long history of being dirty so people just accept it
Never forget Bruce Bowen
The DOAT
and scumbag Popovich encouraging him
Popovich said Bowen is being singled out, citing incidents where New Jersey’s Richard Jefferson and Dallas’ Josh Howard sprained ankles after landing on Miami’s Shaquille O’Neal and Golden State’s Mickael Pietrus. “Did (the league) call them?” Popovich said. “Did they call all those guys (Dirk) Nowitzki landed on when he sprained his ankles the past three, four years? The answer is no. “So why did they call Bruce? Because it’s happened to him twice? Bruce guards an All-Star every night. If he was doing what they’re accusing him of doing, wouldn’t it have happened a higher percentage of times? “The people who cry about it are just frustrated about having to go against Bruce.” “The league is just trying to cover its ass,” Popovich said.“I told Bruce, ‘You be Bruce Bowen. You’re the best (expletive) defender in this league. You will NOT change the way you play defense.’ “Stu Jackson is not going to change my team just because he thinks he’s doing the right thing.”

Try to return to this post tomorrow. Mods will have deleted by then for not fitting the narrative
Fuck San Antonio and Plumlee, shit is unacceptable
Why would you not play your end bench guys at this point though?
Announcers have been atrocious - absolute garbage.
If that was Dort instead of JMac, the top comment would have the word “deserved” in it.
It’s genuinely tiring. I think a substantial chunk of this sub is mentally deficient.
Oh no. Must be hard seeing hard fouls get called instead of the flopping you’re used to?
TIL this dudes still in the league
Hes clearly executing his role at an elite level. Not many enforcers can get that kind of shot on a guy in that little time.
I have a condo I rent that is down the hall from where he lived when he was in Denver. I was sad when he left, it was a selling point.
This is not acceptable they were clearly going at McCain with the intent to injure
I wonder what Wemby whispered to Biyombo and Plumlee as they came into the game.
“I want him making TikTok’s from a hospital bed, sacre bleu!”
“i want you guys to have a child together and call it Plumyombo”
He whispered the French equivalent of the activation phrase from The Manchurian Candidate:
“omelette du fromage”
“What is an alley with high foot traffic that I can pee in?”
“Knock the nail polish off of him.”
Suspend Plumlee for 1 game
A more adequate punishment for the Spurs would be make him play 20 minutes next game.
Lmao you trying to get someone killed?
Spurs momentum maybe
Why does okc have their starters in against plumlee and biyombo?
Because there were 2 minutes left and the lead was only like 14. Not their fault the Spurs gave up on the game at that point. They took most of them out though except for McCain who probably won’t start game 6 if JDub is back.
Biyambo’s was not dirty. Thought it was a good foul. Plumlee was hunting
I’m having Robert Horry flashbacks all over again.
You don’t say?
Taking Wembys lead with dirty plays. If Aj and Jdub were healthy not sure this would even be close.
Shocked this hasn’t been deleted by the mod team yet
It’s posted by MrBuckBuck why would they do that
Who is MrBuckBuck
Why is MrBuckBuck
It will be soon enough.
How dare Dort does this
Spurs have been doing crap all series and nobody seems to care.
What no!!!! they play ethical basketball!!!
Exactly why I’m rooting for OKC in this battle of two evils. Haven’t heard shit about ethical ball from OKC meanwhile that seemed to be a battle cry for SAS only for Wemby to flop just like in soccer. So it’s easier to root for the team that isn’t hypocritical about their play.
Legit. OKC is just OKC.
The Spurs fake ass ethical persona is crazy. Talk a bunch of bullshit about ethical basketball and I have to watch Castle and Wemby flopping 500 times a night while Castle plays defense like he’s Ray Lewis.
Any time I’ve brought this up I’ve been told I’m delusional and I’m only saying this bc I’m a Thunder fan, but I think anyone objectively watching can see that castle has been playing the most reckless defense of anyone all series, by far AND the refs have largely let him get away with it until tonight.
Fuck it. I’ll take it lmao
Same lol. I have no connection to either team, but I’ve found myself rooting for OKC too.
One factor is the lack of hypocrisy, as you said. Another is the absolutely insufferable and incessant whining that tons of fans are doing about OKC. It legit feels like temper tantrums. All those circlejerks, plus the lack of hypocrisy, is why I’m behind OKC.
Still crazy to me as someone who loves watching the Spurs that they get this rep.
The #1 team in the league at fouling up 3 in the final 30 secs every single time to ruin the game for 90% of viewers being called the most ethical team is absurd.
There needs to be a rule for that
What else have they done
Castle ran up and shoved Dub into the post. He hasn’t played since that game.
Castle Shoving JDub into the stanchion game 1, wemby diving into SGAs legs game 2, all the same holding and hooking we’ve been accused of doing.
Yup
Olynyk had a really hard foul on SGA at the end of game 2 after he was in the game for less than a minute as well
Absolute loser behavior, no wonder he got waived to make room for McCain
Wait, who got waived to make room for McCain?
Plumlee
Sorry I’m still confused… Mason Plumlee was waived to make room for Jared McCain? When did this happen?
Thunder traded Ousmane Dieng and a SRP to Charlotte for Plumdog which they waived
It was a headscratcher of a move until we learned it was all to make room for McCain
OKC traded Dieng for Plumlee in order to get cap space to trade for McCain, waived Plumlee to free the roster spot and got McCain from Philly.
Shit, maybe that’s why he got beef with McCain lol
Oh shit
I’m surprised the spurs haven’t played biombo or Plumlee more minutes. That forces hartenstien to guard one of them freeing Wemby up from him
two players you absolutely have to guard in 2026, Mason Plumlee and Bismack Biyombo.
I’m sorry, but what?
No they’re on to something, let’s all convince the Spurs to give Biyombo and Plumlee legit minutes
ethical basketball baby! doing wembys dirty work for him lmao
Cheap and dirty the only reason why a Plumlee, Olynk, and Biyombo are playing. SMH
all 3 of them outscored Rudy Gobert in an elimination playoff game 2 weeks ago
What like it’s hard?
Known playoff offensive juggernaut Rudy Gobert
3 players verse one dude who barely puts the ball in the basket anyways
All 3 individually
I’ve done it twice and I’m not even in the NBA
Damn what a stray
lmao they outscored a defensive specialist! this spurs fan is down bad lol and its not just losing to a hobbled thunder team either.
r/nba won’t care because it isn’t Dort. The epic ethical chungus spurs would never do anything so unethical.
this sub deadass has mass psychosis caused by the okc thunder it’s hilarious
this sub so hypocrite bro, when okc or Draymond does it y’all get angry, and when spurs do it y’all loving it? 💀
Who is loving this? Are they in the room with us right now?
Seriously. No one is defending him here. He’s just not a star and no one really cares about him so it gets less attention.…. But there is absolutely no room in the game for shit like this
Literally all the top comments on this post are people calling it a dirty play. What are you even talking about?
The most ethical play in all 48 minutes
Yeah this was fucked up. No idea what he’s doing
Yeah you do
Spurs fan tryna act innocent like they don’t have their goons on the bench. Olynk already ripped Kevin loves arm off I wouldn’t be surprised if they tryna hurt McCain but hay don’t let it be Dort or a player of color and the it’s a different conversation about these “thugs”
Yall acting like Spurs fans told Plumlee to go out and do this, and we’re the ones losing our mind?
Believe me if I could make Biyombo and Plumlee get somebody, it wouldn’t be McCain.
eh well “the thunder have enough bench players to foul the heck out of wemby without ejections” plumlee has a history of this it’s the whole reason the spurs signed him. It’s cause he’s a dennis rodman. seach up mason plumlee steven adams
He’s doing what Wemby whispered to him and Biyombo when they checked in
Lol
Something tells me Plumlee knew
He’s trying to make the series fair, we don’t have enough injuries yet.
Ethical basketball
If you’re gonna do something like this, at least do it to the refs longest yard style. Pretend to do an outlet pass and dome Tony Brothers in the nose
Tony Brothers takes no damage
“Right in the McNuggets!”
This doesnt fit the narrative, mods please delete this post immediately
Annoyed he got waived by OKC…
Wemby telling his glazers to do his dirty work. I’m in for his villain arc next year
if you injure him i’ll give u a baguette, oui oui
Plumlee can stick that up his ass
Lol, somehow this will be excused.
Dirty ass shit by a coward. Really Bush league.
if this was the thunder, this would have x10 the upvotes n multiple awards. ion like em either but there’s a double standard
Double standard you say?
Goon shit but watch all of the Thunder haters playing dumb.
Dirty cunt
I’m sure Ajay Mitchell will be suspended and fined for this 💀
Very dirty play
Why would Lu Dort do this
This is supposed to be the ethical team??
“This’ll teach Mitch Johnson for putting me in”
This is so effing dirty. If this was Dort there would be calls for public executions lmao
If this was a Thunder player at the end of game 4, this sub would lose its shit….
Ethical Play on the Ball
Just imagine what this sub would look like if it was a Thunder player doing this
Who does he think he is? Lu Dort???
Lu Dort would never, he is allowed to play in the non-garbage minutes of the game.
You’re right he’d do it to a star
NBA Reddit, where we only care about couldves instead of what was
Crazy how Dort has purposefully injured every star in NBA history apparently. I must have missed some games
I mean in real time it doesn’t even look malicious.
My issue is that way less egregious stuff about my team gets more attention than this
Mason Plumpee also has this highlight reel
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8p77gxG/
Losers bullying up and coming stars, story as old as time
It always feels odd to have dirty plays be listed as “highlights”.
Sore losers
Bums
Should’ve pulled his hair instead
Plumlee confirmed bitch ass
wow spurs is a dirty team
When flopping turns in to “earn your fouls”.
This was a cheap shot and I don’t like it. McCain played great. We didn’t need that.
Most ethical franchise
This was not a basketball play. I had fallen asleep by this point in the night, but there’s absolutely no excuse for this kind of bullshit. I don’t like OKC but this isn’t basketball and Plumlee is a bitch for this.
At this point in the playoffs giving them extra bulletin board material is probably not worth it lol
Plumzilla has been unleashed.
Wemby whispering in Plumlee and Biyombo’s ear before they got on the court followed by two gross fouls and they’re supposed to be the good guys? lol.
Is this what ethical basketball looks like?
It’s good to see that the Spurs are playing wholesome ethical ball.
Sophisticated basketball…
It’s a hard foul. Nothing too malicious though.
yo that’s nasty, no way
Hey, hey! Lay off my painted prince
Sigh, what are we doing?
Okc really got into the heads of the spurs tonight Wemby didn’t look like himself at all props to okc
Spurs a bunch of bitches for that
This is Lou Dort every game
Show me one instance of Dort doing this this series.
The funniest part is thinking putting Plumlee and Biyombo as your “enforcers” is gonna do anything 😂.
They don’t care if they get 6 fouls nor ejected. Perfect enforcers for the few minutes they’re on the floor.
Dirty ass play. Not surprised with a duo of him and Olynyk off the bench.
And Adam’s was a mate and helped him… and he pulls that move?
This would have 2k upvotes in the AM if this was Dort
Rooting for the spurs but plumlee is a piece of shit dirty player.
Give them something to flop about
no problem thuglee. “we” don’t negotiate with terrorists
Bum ass move, Biyambo being involved surprises me too given he was on the Thunder for a year and was seemingly a good locker room presence. Guess you gotta try and make some kinda noise when you’re washed as fuck.
Not a great look for that Dook brotherhood bs
Shades of Robert Horry. Fuck the Spurs.
Might as well dish out these kinds of fouls
Man that made Dort look like a clean player! Wow haha
Most ethical former Duke player.
Not a flop
Friendly reminder Plumleee is a cocky jerk who doesn’t tip
Plumlee attacking a guy way smaller than him and running away from someone his size. Sounds about right for a wannabe goon
Funny the Thunder get upset when someone does the same shit they do all game
Wemby and them Spurs already won the media this year. If they win the series they are heroes for putting down the oh so terrible thunder and the “undeserved MVP”, if they lose, they al least went down valiantly and the Wemby can’t play 48 minutes at 100% every game posts would commence. Either way, SAS couldn’t have hoped for a better season than this one.
Then you start doing this type of shit that won’t win you the game, won’t win you the crowd, won’t send any message. You won’t beat the Thunder at their own shit…
Wemby absolutely hates losing… not many NBA players do
At least it was actually a foul
Wallace did the same shit earlier in the game.
Not you Hartenstein, anyone but you. OK and Dort. Anyone but you two.
I’m all for it, both sides should just drop the basketball bs and start swinging hands. Would make the nba way more entertaining.
That’s a physical playoff foul. Not sure why OKC still had their starters in
unpopular opinion. If they are constantly baiting for foul. ACTUALLY GIVE THEM A FOUL. Thank you SPURS for realizing logic.
every time FTA flops, they should send out plumlee or biyombo to hammer someone. nip it in the bud and get back to actual basketball
