Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 10, 2026

Dammit, Wemby should’ve controlled himself even though the Wolves are being incredibly physical with him. Ref should’ve also called the foul earlier so it wouldn’t come to that.

I want to give Wemby the benefit of the doubt, throwing an elbow into someone’s chest after a rebound is pretty common. Replay looks like he did it on purpose though, obviously in real speed its impossible to say, flagrant 2 either way.
You ever Wemby pull some dirty shit before? They might suspend him for the next game it looked that bad. If this is a first time thing that’s probably way less likely.

He has no history so I’m hoping it’s just a fine and no suspension. Either way, he only has himself to blame. This game was 100% in the bag if he wasn’t ejected.

I’d be shocked if there’s a suspension. Most I feel is likely is a fine of like $35k, and probably less to be honest.
