Analytically speaking he’s a great coach, so this is a great move…Analytically lol
- Comment on Knicks sweep Cavs, return to NBA Finals for 1st time since 1999 1 week ago:
Everybody says you have to build through the draft nowadays but, the Knicks starting five all came from FA signings and trades. I think Duece and Mitch are the only draft pics that get minutes in the playoffs.
- Comment on Chuck keeps it real - too many talking heads crying about softest fouls on Wemby! Chuck and Shaq say Spurs gameplan is terrible vs OKC 1 week ago:
The only time I saw the holding called was on Wemby, I haven’t watched every minute of every game though. I don’t have a problem with it if its called evenly as possible.
OKC is a dirty team though, they go out and try to hurt players. Like the two examples I gave above, when Dort tripped Joker, Shai trying to rip Austin Reaves arm off. And these are only example that I’ve personly seen, I’m sure there’s more.
And I’m not a Wemby fan, more of an OKC hater BTW lol

There’s a difference between playing dirty and being physical. Chet stepping on Wembys foot after a freethrow is dirty, hartenstein grabbing Castles hair is dirty. And calling a foul on Wemby for for barley grabbing Hartensteins arm is bs, either the refs call it on both side or not at all.

You see this bullshit move by Chet? I used to think it was just Lou Dirty Dort but, its just the whole team at this point.

No Fox for Spurs could hurt them in crunch time again.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Finals - May 19, 2026 1 week ago:
That’s why I think the Cavs have no chance in this series, on the other hand Brunson I’d so steady and always has an answer for everything. Also Mobly and Allen are to small for Kat and OG.

Another OT game lol
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 18, 2026 2 weeks ago:
Kareem 7’2 - 225lbs
Wemby 7’4 - 235lbs
They’re listed as pretty close in size.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 18, 2026 2 weeks ago:
Offense looks so forced.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 18, 2026 2 weeks ago:
Bro needs to stop skipping leg day lol. Physically I think Kareem is the closest player to Wemby, he needs to call Cap for some tips cause that’s some weak shit.

Harper didn’t even play in the NCAA tournament, Rutgers didn’t make the tournament lol
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 18, 2026 2 weeks ago:
What do the Spurs never post up Wemby? Tallest Thunder player is like 6’9 right now.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 18, 2026 2 weeks ago:
Knicks are playing incredible basketball but, I can’t help but feel that’s just a mirage and they’ll fall apart in the finals.
- Comment on THE DETROIT PISTONS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION 2 weeks ago:
His performance in the playoffs was historical bad. Second biggest dropoff in ppg for an all-star ever (1st bring Wilt 50>35). The more troubling thing is the drop in stuff like rebounds, the effort just wasn’t there.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 15, 2026 2 weeks ago:
Pistons still alive, you really thought a team with James Harden would close out anyone lol.
Let’s see what the Wolves got though, they’ve had to struggle for both wins this series, Spurs are clearly better.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 10, 2026 3 weeks ago:
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.

- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 8, 2026 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 8, 2026 3 weeks ago:
Welp, this series is over.

11pt in the 4th. Not a lot from ant most of the game but, showed up when it mattered.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 4, 2026 4 weeks ago:
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 5 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.
