[Murray] Chet Holmgren not having a single shot attempt in the last three QUARTERS of this Game 7 is astonishing
chet averaged 9 points this series LMAO
Absolutely exposed. 4/4/0 in a Game 7 on his homecourt is nasty work.
Chet “The Last Airbender” Holmgren
when OKC needed him most, he vanished.
Don’t ever compare Chet to Aang he performed against Ozai
beat him ethically as well
And analytically
Pft Aang put up empty stats going up against bandits and cabbage vendors.
Azula knocked him out the season before and locked him down without firebending in the Game of Black Sun, if she hadn’t been injured (mental breakdown) in game 7 and left on a literal island being doubled by Zuko and Katara, the Firebenders would have won for sure
if ifs and buts were candies and nuts we’d all have a merry christmas… the goat still won it all
Wemby was coming at him like Ozai for sure
Once Chet got postered in the first 3 minutes, he was like, “ight I’m just gonna sit this one out fellas.”
When he got subbed out for McCain in the last minutes, that’s when I knew it was up for him. The front office is gonna be having some uncomfortable conversations this summer
I knew it was up for when he passed a wide open 3 in the third quarter. Mans confidence was shot
when he was left on an island with wemby and proceeds to fall over
“There he goes at Wemby! Falls down!”
Time for the Ben Simmons character arc downfall. Gets fat bag, plays well, loses confidence, never fixes it, out of the league, plays for China/Phillipines
Alexa play “Built on Glass by Chet Faker”
Except he (Chet) had no rock to fall back on to reignite his Avatar State lol
This is the alternate timeline where the Fire Nation dominates another 100 years…
Fire bending to make puffy tacos
Trade his soft ass for giannis
okc fans tried saying giddey was the problem
we’ll guess what, you got a $250mil problem now
I mean Giddey was also a problem lmao, they won a chip immediately after trading him
Giddey was a poor fit next to Shai, given the skillset overlaps and Giddey just not being the most defensively adept guard
Chet in theory is a good fit next to their flopping ahh MVP, except the part where he is apparently a coward in game 7 when his team needs him.
SIGNED TO A MAX LMAOOOOO
God they’re lucky they didn’t have any all-NBA escalators in that contract lol
This was his Ben Simmons against the Hawks series.
Interesting comparison. In that legendary underperformance in game 7, Simmons had 1 point, 4 rebounds and 13 assists more than Chet had this game.
Simmons was better than this chump.
Victor’s biggest motivation for this season was Chet winning a championship last year.
Fr OKC fans all year were saying that Chet was better than Wemby because he had a ring.
Benched in the clutch too
Bro would look at wemby in the paint as if wemby was 2ft taller 😂
Chet was running from him like a 6’ 1” guard🗿
4/4/0 is absolutely diabolical
naaaaaasty work
Your coach gameplanned his ass out of existence, bravo. This finals boutta be a win win for me, either the team that bounced us gets the rings or Kat gets a ring 🤷♂️
I wonder how it feels to be Chet. He’s heralded as this unicorn player, a generational 7 foot guy with guard skills and elite defense only to enter the league at the same time a bigger and much better unicorn enters.
Oh and that unicorn personally hates Chet and wants to destroy him all the time.
Yea he’s essentially just a Temu version of Wemby now. He could have been one of the greatest centers of his generation but now looks like a cheap imitation of everything Wemby is.
he wishes he was temu wemby lol. he’s temu kat at best
That’s an insult to KAT
Temu Myles Turner
Temu Deandre Ayton
damn, this shit getting vicious now lmao
Least he got it paid before he got sonned.
Yeah he got his ring and his contract while Wemby was out there training with monks lol. It could be worse.
Gonna need a sports psychologist to get over his issue cuz Wemby isnt going anywhere anytime soon
His issue this series is he wouldn’t take advantage of being guarded by our wings. He needs to start shooting over guys, learn to post up, or something.
Also he’s a good enough 3 pt shooter that he needs to like double his attempts and take more closely contested 3s. People criticize Wemby for taking a lot of 3s but it opens your game up a lot.
I don’t even think it’s a matter of not taking them. He genuinely has one of the slowest releases I have ever seen. Everything from the decision to the actual shooting motion takes a fucking eternity. Guy is a buns shooter
not totally unlike how Fat Joe was the best, most famous and fattest New York Puerto Rican rapper for a little while until there was Big Pun
Chet wishes Wemby was dead in the middle of little Italy
4 points
4 rebounds
1-2 FG
2-4FT
2 blocks 2 steals 2 turnovers
Flat out one of the worst game 7 performances from an all NBA player in league history and I can say that without looking anything up
Jalen Duran grateful that Chet is around to take the heat off of him this offseason.
No fucking kidding.
Closest is only game 6, but Malone won MVP and first team all NBA and got eliminated going 3-16 with just 2⁄3 free throws in 1999.
at least malone was trying, putting up 16 shots. putting up 2 fg is awful.
He averaged 12 in the finals too and shot 39% from the field and went 3⁄19 from three
Idk why people expect so much out of him, yes i get he’s on a max but he is not a great offensive player
He’s weak, he can’t create, awful handle, awful everything, even his 3 which is supposed to space the floor is very hit and miss
He protects the rim and gets points off others
Idk why people expect so much out of him
Probably because he signed a giant contract and was an all NBA player
How can we expect so much out of a #2 pick?
And he was a #2 overall pick
Because he’s on a max?
Okc capped their dynasty potential by maxing him, unless they sell him while he still got some value but that contract lookin rough if his offense doesn’t improve tenfold
He was thought to be a top 15 player in the league this year according to the voters for all nba
He’s a roleplayer and being selected number 2 that’s horrible. You don’t hope for role players in the top 3 you are supposed to be drafting stars and Chet is so far from a star.
That’s odee shooting hang pulls
3rd team All-NBA…….
People said he was better than Lebron this year
Lebron was better then SGA in the playoffs this year.
5 yr 240M in a conference with 22 yo Wemby
48M/yr for THAT 🤣🤣
chet🤝Jalen Duren
At least Duren exposed himself before the payday. That Chet contract could be an anchor if/when the Spurs are the perennial West contender.
240 million dollar player
Broadcast was, rightfully so, roasting his ass.
So true whoever said this - we’d rather he went 1-15
1⁄15 means his shots wasnt falling. Wont shoot like that everyday.
1⁄2 means he is a coward.
you can’t be serious and put up 4/4/0 in a game 7. he should be clowned on for life for this, and the series as a whole. just totally exposed in every aspect.
Especially with Shai trying his ass off carrying the team and he had no help from Chet whatsoever, absolutely disgraceful.
Shai’s game so beautiful to watch when he’s not trying to fall to the ground. Just a masterclass performance tonight
Been saying this for the last year. Think it’s why his antics pissed me off even more because he truly has the capability to be the best in the league without the bullshit antics. His movement and touch is smooth as fuck
And Ajay and JDub out. Like step the fuck up and at least try
that is really the thing. he cowarded out EVERY time. people passed him the ball and he saw Wemby or anyone else and just immediately passed it back. wtf was that
Imagine just a couple of years ago people actually asked who was going to be better in the NBA Chet or Wemby
Insert the famous Dion Waiters quote
Can you really lose confidence if you never had it?
“Who have thought? That a young buck like you could actually… do the right thing and avoid gettin’… his sorry butt kicked out da game.”
I think Caruso told Chet if you don’t want to shoot 1-15 then I’ll do it for you
Reggie said it I think and yeah I fully agree. Shooting 2 shots in a playoff game is crazy as an all star
(Jamal said it)
Semi related, Crawford was great as a color guy. Really warmed up to me over the course of the series. Some great points
He cleans up all the wrong stuff Reggie is constantly saying (Reggie was good this game though)
My general rule of thumb is that if you think Reggie said something good on commentary you probably mistook him for someone else
Think it was Reggie! Imagine not shooting a SINGLE shot for three quarters. I just cannot fathom being paid that much, knowing the fans are forking out massive cash to see me, knowing that a narrative exists that the opposing star owns my shit, and still not evening trying to do a thing about it.
That Ozempic Abe moniker hit hard tonight.
Abraham Lincoln “4 score and 7 years ago…”
Chet Holmgren: “4 score in game 7…”
Coincidence?? I think not.
I’d love to hear what opposing players say to Chet during games
the entire league gon be talking to him CRAZY now
they’ll just laugh their asses off if chet ever flexes on someone after a dunk next season lmao
quarter billion contract btw
Had me googling ts bro wtf 😭😭
dollar store wemby, how much is victor going to get paid? a billion?! /s
Not enough.
If the NBA had an MLB style market, Wemby would probably get some teams offering 12 years/1 billion tbh.
He can have the entire south side of San Antonio for all I care, everyone knows that’s the good side too
His rookie deal plus extension equal the entire career earnings of Shaq.
And that is why Shaq hates 99.9% of modern bigs.
Shaq is generally awful to modern players, but NGL I think I would be salty if I saw chet make 250 million
Yeah Shaq is rich as hell but legit has to be annoying as a former superstar seeing every sorry ass dude in the league make your career earnings before they are 25.
I mean that’s just how it goes when you have explosive revenue growth. John Elway earned $45 million over his entire career. There are 15+ NFL players that make more than that in a single year now, including a lot of bum QBs.
Chet vs everyone else: 😤
Chet when Wemby is the primary defender: “You know what, let’s run another action.”
when your only game is being tall lol
dude’s gotta put on 60 more pounds if he doesn’t plan on outgrowing wemby
He doesn’t have the frame to put on 60 pounds, and he was getting locked up by Vassell and Harper too, he has a fragile mental.
There were several pick and rolls where he got switched onto Deaaron Fox who is SIX FEET TALL on the empty side of the floor. Chet proceeded to run to the corner while their play ended in tough jumpers. I can’t believe my eyes
I couldn’t stop lauging at how willing the Spurs were to just let Fox switch onto Chet without ever sending help. That has to be so embarassing as a “big man”.
I mean the Timberwolves and Pacers did the same thing to him last year. He is the guy on the thunder to cheat off on offensively. He never got roasted for it because Jdubs is that fucking good.
That is absolutely false, he could definitely gain 60 pounds.
Give him Zion’s number
His legs will break
Put the 60 pounds entirely into his leg muscles 😤
Actually not a bad idea, maybe he’d stop falling over.
I didn’t believe Wemby lived in this guys head THAT much until this series. It’s actually astounding.
[deleted]
Why not? Rodney Hood was a professional athlete that admitted to having anxiety issues during big games. This is a serious trait that separates superstars from stars (not talking about Hood here lol).
That person probably never played any sports. The mental aspect is a massive part of the game at this level.
Remember when Rodney Hood came into OT skipping and hit 2 BIG shots though lol
Every time he got punked he looked like he wanted to cry. At least get mad or something, but he just visibly retreated inside his own head.
Its actually hilarious, and fun to watch. All of these dudes have a way to shoot over the top, Chet has literally never had to do it for any reason other than to utilize his size advantage, as soon as that advantage is gone hes just a joke and has no idea how to play the game.
bro is terrified lmao he looks like hes got ptsd when they camera on in on him on the bench 🤣
Dude looked shell shocked!
He was also terrible against the pacers last year. He shrinks under pressure
He was in th ecorner vs Wemby. Kicks it back to the wing. Gets it back. Isos vs Wemby. and slips.
Genuinely hilarious player to watch.
This is the perfect example of choking, missing shots happens but hiding from the ball and passing up wide open 3s what an embarrassing display by a max contract all nba player
Got 200+ to have less shot attempts than bench players 😭
First half of the game he was using iHart to hide from Wemby, second half he was just running from wemby 😭
Fuckin Kenrich Williams took double the amount of shots, just speechless at what we witnessed
Wemby genuinely obliterated his confidence. He didn’t even want to try it.
Even when Wemby had 5 fouls…I genuinely couldn’t believe he didn’t even try to drive once to at least draw the foul maybe.
Its insane. At that point I felt it was our game to lose. And that’s exactly what we did.
Most cursed flair
Yeah, I know…
Wish I would’ve known how much the internet would hate these 2 teams in 2026 when I was born into a Celtics transplant family in Oklahoma. Hell, even if I did, I wouldn’t have known what the internet was…
Dude got sonned all game
I understand he has a slim frame but with KD and Wemby at least you can see some muscle definition
Chet legit looks malnourished
Wemby from draft to now looks more muscular. Not heavy, but clearly getting stronger. Chet with the extra time has 0 improvement, looks as sickly and weak as he was drafted. Until he improves that, he’s not going anywhere
Wemby hits the weight room while Chet be out here doing cardio.
Chets frame is like rookie brandon ingram
His shoulders are like 18 inches wide. His frame is significantly thinner than KD
It’s the legs, literal sticks that might snap at any moment.
by the whole team, not just wemby
By the towel boy.
That was crazy. He was legitimately rattled and played scared the entire game on offense. He would get the ball and just have no idea what to do or look to give it up immediately
When he didn’t shoot that 3 it was over
How did he not shoot that shit?! Mindless basketball.
Jaylin Williams and Caruso were pretty rattled to shoot it in the 4th too. They finally went a little cold. Cason Wallace the only other guy who wasn’t afraid to shoot.
Cason Wallace is a god damn monster that was an incredible time watching him
Nah fam. It was over way before then.
To me that was the worst part of his game this series. It’s not like he tried everything he could do and ultimately failed. He was actually terrified of Wemby and absolutely scared of the moment to the point where he wanted nothing to do with the ball. The fear was palpable and truly embarrassing. I would have rather he go 4⁄17 in a blaze of glory than whatever we just witnessed tonight.
Ben Simmons flashbacks.
Actually kind of baffled me. Chet had a few great faceups in the 4th against a 5-foul Wemby, and would just pass out instead of iso’ing. It actively screwed over his teammates and led to some turnovers/grenades. Never seen an all-star blow up a play instead of going 1v1 like that
Every time he got the ball on the perimeter he took two steps to the basket saw Wemby and passed it out
Literally
Yes this was the most shocking to me, personally.
I can understand just choking, maybe shots aren’t falling. But he was legit scared of Wemby and it was super obvious.
Doing a great job of cosplaying Ben Simmons
For real, he had some shots, he just got scared.
Scooby-Doo meme of Chet’s mask being pulled off to reveal Ben Simmons (for anyone w/ base level photoshop skills, go crazy)
Welp… I had a few mins on my hands
Simmons was light years better in that game 7 than this
Big Ben at least handled the ball very well. Despite all his flaws he was good ball handler and playmaker.
Ben was definitely at fault but he still put up 5pts 8rebs 13asts in game 7 vs the Hawks lol
absolute fraud. all nba dude my ass. 🤡🤡🤡
What a time to Shet the bed in a game 7
I called this multiple times for the past few weeks and have been downvoted to hell.
He fucking sucks and is a massive issue for the Thunder if they actually want to win another title
1-2 just shows you gave up. it’s genuinely better to go 1-10
there was 4-5 times he had more than enough time to get his slow ass shot up but he hesitated every single time and would just dribble twice to pass it off or turn it over
1⁄10? That’s Jalen Suggs music.
Fox has had some rough shooting games this series, but he was still way more positively impactful than Chet, since he actually felt like part of the offense, rather than completely invisible
OKC really paid Max money to this dude to sit on the bench on crunch time
Oh irony since I remember OKC fans laughing at Wolves for sitting Gobert in crunch. “How can you sit your 40 million player on bench in clutch”, now they know.
Chet wishes he was half the player Gobert is lmao. Gobert at least steps up to the challenge and guards guys like Jokic. Chet looked like a college player in an NBA game all series
Wemby broke his soul after that dunk and he’s already a bitch so he had no chance
Chet Holmgren 🤝 Bukayo Saka
Saka did try and play basketball today too!
Is it really though? When has Chet ever truly been assertive in high-pressure situations?
There’s “lack of assertiveness”, and then there’s being terrified of the moment. 2 shot attempts in a game 7 is beyond pathetic from an all-nba player. Literally the least attempts on the team, even Kenrich Williams got up more shots in 4mins
Kornet got more shots than Chet too
He looks like he jerks off to anime.
what the hell lol
Cast the first stone then
This man is a bum idk how he was an all star, overrated asf
How was he third team all NBA‽
Wemby took that man’s soul
Chet passed the ball every time he saw him
4 pts, 4 rebounds….even Draymond puts up better triple singles
Draymond in his prime had 32 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals in that 2016 finals game 7. Even 2026 draymond could have done better than that.
He couldn’t even catch the ball. Surpassed Ben Simmons levels of shook
Chet Wembanyama, the son of Victor, was nowhere to be seen today
Victor Wenbanyama is Chet Holmgren father
This is disrespectful to Wemby tbh
SGA caught a lot of slander this series while Chet got away with basically being unplayable.
At this point this is bullying ain’t no rivalry
PUNKED THE WHOLE SERIES
$240 Ms and he’s useless against the one guy you need him to stop. Tough beat.
Genuinely, what the fuck was that?
absolutely disgusting display, genuinely the worst playoff performance from an all-star ive ever seen
Sorry Chet, DominAyton and Hayes ain’t going through that door
Getting dominated should give him some motivation. Dude needs to live in the gym and learn how to use MyFitnessPal in the offseason. Only weighing 205lbs at 7’1 is absolutely insane
Chet Holmgren perfectly employed absolutely everything he learned at Gonzaga and folded like a cheap chair when it mattered most.
