A possession here and there is fine, but his game is definitely not there yet to do it consistently. He really wants to be that guy, but other guys gotta step up on offense too.

Mitch Johnson couldn’t run a play for Wemby to get the ball near the rim with the fate of the universe on the line

Yeah this is part of the problem. Our offense has him stopping at the perimeter.

We need guys screening for him off ball so he can get into better positions. Unless they want him to just fight against bigs pushing him out all day like in OKC

Wemby would make his life a lot easier if he wasn’t the worst screener in the league

Think how many misses if they didn’t call all those fouls

KAT legacy being totally rewritten is probably my favorite subplot of this playoffs.

He has redeemed himself from all those years of jokes and giggles.

He’s been one of, if not THE most important player on the Knicks for all of these playoff series. Hell yeah KAT!

Wemby prefers to play on the perimeter, always has.

I was getting annoyed watching them continue to try to iso him from the three point line. The couple times he got it on the elbow or lower he made a good play

You’re obsessed with Gobert

That was his nba finals

The tears in his eyes are blinding him

Honestly though, looked like Mitch and KAT’s weight gave Wemby some tougher looks compared to a guy like Chet with a similar frame

Hartenstein had some success guarding Wemby and now the knicks have 2 players that can play him the exact same way haha

That’s all NBA player chet, lmao

Step 1: put on some fucking muscle mass

There’s still time

he was flopping as well

the narrative that wemby is somehow ethical basketball is hilarious

He really did not, that dude was flopping and hurling elbows all over lol. Him and Castle were arguably as hard of a watch as SGA, as someone who didn’t hatewatch either team.

He didn’t have ethics against Wolves

He’s been inconsistent all playoffs not just in our series, he was horrible in game 1 vs Minny too

Yeah, to be the best in the world you need to be insanely impactful offensively, which he just isn’t compared to people like Shai, Luka, Brunson, Jokic, etc.

I don’t like the argument that they made adjustments.

Like if you’re the best player in the world you gotta make things happen, can’t be completely taken out of the game.

Obviously not fair to compare players to the arguable GOAT in LeBron, but going into a game I knew Lebron would at least get his 27/7/7 (without actually getting it).

The overreactions after his brilliant Game 1 performance was insane.

Against OKC He was great games 1 and 7 otherwise was mediocre in the other games

Whenever I see the passes Wemby gets it makes me realize him and Bron just aren’t viewed as the same sort of player.

I went back and watched that Pistons game where he scored 25 straight. Scott Van Pelt was doing the highlights and admitted that he went on the radio THAT WEEK and said that Lebron wasn’t a superstar lol

That was after he took A BETTER Pistons team to a Game 7 in his first playoff run

I kinda hate the idea that we need to bully every star player because we bullied LeBron. The top 3 guys in the world, two of whom are NBA champions and one of whom is in his first Finals at 22, are all bums if you check this sub on an off night.

People will simultaneously say he’s the best in the game rn and say he’s young give him time dont be too harsh.

Crazy amount of leniency he gets for a guy who declared himself mvp to the media

I’ll add a slightly used Dort to sweeten the deal

Around late in the 2nd half when KAT stopped gambling for strips and just put his hands up is when Wemby became Chet on offense.

Your perimeter defense were the bigger problem imo.

Our guards couldnt penetrate as much as we could so we end up with Victor trying to manufacture at awkward spots

Knicks got a pretty fucked on not getting calls first half, but yeah it’s pretty hard to argue that he didn’t deserve almost all of those FTs when the broadcast replayed every single foul and it’s just a Knicks player slapping his arm. Ugly statline and he played bad, having a lot of FTs isn’t inherently “unethical”.

That miss created a whole new slanderous nickname. Long live Wayoff P

Spurs fans are honestly so annoying. I mainly watch the Sixers in the regular season so hadn’t come across them much.

Started in the playoffs and right off the bat against the Blazers they complained about fouls every fucking play. They think they are victims

Worst fans in the nba

Year 3 Lebron avg : 31/7/6 while having lockdown defence
Year 3 Jordan avg : 37/5/4 while also having crazy defence

Anyone who has bothered to go back and watch the games will tell you year 3 Wemby isn’t on their level : 25/11/3 in this era, he’s not impactful enough offensively at all

I don’t know about that… The Spurs entire defense is built on what Wemby can do.

Chet turned on Chet tbh. Im not one who wants to trade him for scraps, but its on him to come out swinging next year

All dominant teams eventually got hated. That’s just sports.

I started using a stopwatch app on his free throws in Game 1. He is consistently shooting at around 8 to 9 seconds. So, within the 10 second limit, but just slightly. Shit is painful to sit through though.

Maybe. But also maybe a dude as tall as him has a very short career and this is his peak.

We will see

he had and this sub and the world try to convince us that he does not flop and the game was “well officiated”

this post only have 130+ upvotes if this was shai it is already 100k+ upvotes

That stamina issue may be a built-in problem for him. I’m confident he will improve on it, but I’m not sure how well-conditioned a 7’6” man can ever be.

And that was after Jokic and Shai were both Finals MVPs and multiple time MVPs. This sub can be so quick to throw out already minted, all time great players to prop up guys who haven’t actually won anything other than a Conference Finals MVP. We saw the same thing with Luka a few years ago as well.

Thats how you know he not BITW cause he not held to those standards.

and long
