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.

IDK if they can move that Embiid contract. He’s signed for the next 3 season on a max contract and he hasn’t been healthy his whole career and he won’t be getting any healthier as he ages.
26/27 - 58m 27/28 - 62m 28/29 - 67m
Paul George is also making like 55m the next two season leaving little to no cap space.

Cade is trying to throw this game away.

Definitely, they all seem like inevitable endings. The only one even remotely worth watching is Spurs vs. Wolves, and even that one seems like 6-game series max without a healthy Ant.

Welp, this series is over.

11pt in the 4th. Not a lot from ant most of the game but, showed up when it mattered.

Is it just me or are these teams constructed exactly the same. Led by small PG, talented but questionable centers, great wing defenders, gaurds who are spotty shooters but great rebounders for their size?

That fall was so weird. I heard Wemby actually practices falling which makes it even weirder.
- Comment on Wemby Out Rest of G2 Due to Concussion Protocols 3 weeks ago:
Its not necessarily separate. Getting your bell rung kinda like Wemby is still a type of brain injury. Might be a concussion, might not.

Detroit giving Cade zero help on offense.

I feel like that’s just how today is going to be. Nothing but 1v8 and 2v7 matchups.
- Comment on Durant Out Game 1 With Knee Contusion 3 weeks ago:
Rockets absolutely killed us on the boards and won the turnover matchup. Rockets put 27 more shots last night and still lost, honestly Udoka has done a shit job all season coaching the offense.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: 1st - April 18, 2026 3 weeks ago:
Luka out, Reaves out, next white guy that can shoot up! Luckily that like a quarter of the Lakers roster lol
- Comment on Durant Out Game 1 With Knee Contusion 3 weeks ago:
The Rockets offense looked rough with KD. My Lakers might actually have a chance this series 🙏

Probably end up playing the Rockets in the first round who also looks like a train wreck, so we got that going lol

Injuries in general seem like they’re at an all time high. When I started watching basketball as a kid, playing 82 games was almost the norm.

He live streamed it and after he was waived, double downed and said it again, on another live stream.
But, that was CLEARLY AI so he’s CLEARLY innocent lol

Did you read the body of the post and/or watch the videos I linked lol?
- Comment on Playoff Predictions 1 month ago:
I think Boston vs. OKC is the most likely Finals outcome, with OKC winning and Shai being MVP.
I think the Hornets “upset” the pistons in the first round. I’ve watched a couple Hornets games and they’re looking great, plus idk is Cade will be healthy enough.
I think Lakers beat the spurs in the second round. As a Lakers fan I’m not looking forward to this matchup but, as a basketball fan its super interesting. The Spurs are clearly a better team but have basically no playoff experience. On the other hand, 4 of the 5 Lakers starters have played in the Finals before. Its the ultimate experience vs talent matchup.

If you want to speculate about that, go right ahead, but that’s all it’ll ever be.
That’s literally what this post is about, why even comment in the first place lol?
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 1 month ago:
KD was far from the biggest problem with that Suns team.
Do you mean on the court, in the locker room, or both?
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 1 month ago:
No, I just don’t think Fred is that much better than Reed Shepherd. It’s not like Fred is Luka or something. We’ve never seen FVV and Durant play together though, so I might be way off here. It might also be a coaching issue. That also doesn’t explain why the Suns are better this season.
What I’m asking though, is Kevin Durant just a toxic player? Every team he’s on turns to shit at some point, when is it just Durant that’s the problem. On the other hand, every team with Brooks on it seems to have great chemistry. It’s a lot easier to play good team basketball when you actually like your team.
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 1 month ago:
KD Rockets: 45-29 Brooks Rockets: 52-30
KD Suns: 36-46 Brooks Suns: 41-33
The teams with KD on them have a worse record than the teams with Brooks.
