Have you ever looked at Mitch’s resting face before? There isn’t a single thought rattling around up there

Wemby thought he was a preem netrunner and got burned with the ice planted inside the datafort that is Mitch’s mind. Stupid gonk

Like when the clown pulls Shawn Wayans under the bed in Scary Movie 2 and then tries to escape as Shawn Wayans flips the script and pulls him under the bed

With all the political posts Mitch’s been reading through the years his mind must be like Chernobyl

original xcom vibes of grenading your own troops in preparation a chryssalid would kill them before you could even see them

KILL KILL KILL

That’s why he forgot how to drive the lane.

Nice… but way too deep for redditt

He was in Mitch Rob’s head that he started copying the FT%

Twenty years from now, some player on the Spurs is going to do that to a Knicks player, thinking they’re funny.

I’m in your abacus

Ethically of course.

Unagi!!!

So much meme material coming from these playoffs

this run has added so much to knick meme lore

They are both so golden that I hope they never go away, Wemby face looking especially punchable when he says it only makes it funnier

Now he’s building a city in Robinson’s mind scape with all those bricks.

Mitchell is Yami Yugi confirmed.

Never go full Mitch.

Wemby got into Robinson’s head and saw only the missed free throws.

all he saw was giant tricked out 4x4 trucks blasting country music

Wemby went into Mitch’s head and saw Trump, and then the Trump curse transferred from the Knicks to the Spurs

It’s only logical

that thunder fan cooked 

If Wemby could make his free throws and not throw the ball off his teammates back, the spurs are up in this series

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. You have to fake it til you make it at that age, no matter how far ahead of schedule you are in some areas.

He had 42 min or so of playtime at this point.

Completely gassed and was getting moved around A LOT during this game.

It’s on Mitch for not managing his minutes well, we’ve seen since the start of the post season that he cannot play long minutes, especially with 1 day rest.

He wants to APPEAR unbothered and confident more than he actually is.

Exactly this. He drank the Kool Aid that all the “Wemby is the GOAT” fans provided him with, very prematurely.

Now he just acts like this super zen and confident dude, but he plays way too inconsistently, and is sometimes outright scared to drive to the basket. It’s easy for anyone to see that he has a long way to go mentally, to be anywhere near the greats he draws inspiration from.

Also, he’s a part time NBA player. He puts up impressive numbers when he plays 20mins, but when he plays more than 40, his TS% is usually utter garbage.

Many of us were a bit like that when we were young. Now add to that the fact that he is genuinely on the cusp of greatness and it makes sense for him to get carried away a bit. He lacks some maturity now, but he’ll probably get there in a couple of years.

People need to give him some grace in my opinion, both for his antics on the court and how he carries himself off the court. He’s still very young. I agree with some of what you said, but I do think that this is a bit too harsh towards him and you too should lend him more charitability.

The vet point is a really good one. SA would’ve done well to bring onboard a seasoned well respected guy who’s over the hill, but can keep wemby in line.  That was a miss.

First of all, I think people on reddit might completely misunderstand what you said. You meant it in a complimentary way, like you know when people say, “He’s bad,” it really means he’s good, sort of thing? You know, slang.

I love the modern trend in sports where any mistake has to be framed as a moral failing of the individual.

Wemby misses 2 free throws? It’s not because nobody shoots 100% from the line it’s because he’s an arrogant phony.

He’s really stuck in a fucked up corner in this regard.

Too much deference and raw appreciation for how special and unexpected his situation is would immediately label him as soft and immature. Shaq and Charles would have labeled him as nothing more than a “Gobert Plus.” The social commentary echoes this, with people rhetorically asking ad nauseam “wtf could you expect from a soft Frenchie.”

I don’t think Wemby is stupid. He’s a dedicated student of the game and he has to know that our young squad simply does not have it right now. He has to be overwhelmed by how amazing an opportunity this is so early in his career. But he HAS to project confidence and a level of calm wisdom to protect his reputation forever. The Spurs will forever rally behind the cocky phenom who was humbled. It would destroy me if I had to wonder if the transparently overwhelmed kid will ever have the killer instinct to get it done or if he will become a nightmare “what could have been” story.

He’s not owed anything by any of us. But I’m gonna cut him a break here.

Excellent analysis and sums up why all the pre-Finals Wemby glazing got on my nerves. He’s still very young and has a chance to be an all-time great, but he’s not there yet.

Ok but monster trucks are dope

Guy who has been discredited and written off damn near his entire basketball career because of his size and has overcome at every level of the game vs Guy who has been ordained the greatest thing since sliced bread before he’s proven a damn thing because of his size

Well…yeah? So is OG, Brunson, Fox, Castle, etc. Knicks and Spurs are the only 2 teams left

Who else am I suppose to think about when thinking about the NBA rn? Matthew “I’ll die on this court if it means stopping Curry” Dellavedova?

I dont think anyone is disputing that in the moment. Unfortunately for Wemby, by having a historical choke job, this moment stands out as a highlight of Wemby losing track of what matters the most. I could be wrong but Brunson doesnt resort to childish antics in whatever form of shit talking he may do.

The full play showed OG blocked the ball before hitting Fox’s arm. The NBA even reviewed it and said it wasn’t a foul

If you want to talk about the old of bounds play, then I can also mention the goaltend that wasn’t called on Luke Kornet

Take the wedgie out your ass and learn to laugh a little

That’s mean :(

Dont you fuckin talk about pizza rat like that.

I mean, this is the finals… what else are we supposed to talk about? Wemby has transformed himself into the villain over night too… I think this is normal internet behavior.

Is this not you?

“I’m not a Spurs fan lol

I’m a life long Celtics fan from Massachusetts”

How are you going to tell people to get a life when you are just trolling on here?
