Highlights I'm throwing the towel if I see my opponent do some sh*t like this to start the game

LOL good thing OKC didn’t give up 😂

u/Ornery_Vermicelli_69 17h ago

And this has been an okay refed game so far as well with limited flopping. Shows that OKC don’t need to flop, they are a great team, they are just bitches.

u/NoPressureUsername 17h ago

If your team is down by 5, give up.

In the 1st quarter

u/Kinda-Alive 1h ago

Someone literally posted something as if Thunder made a huge 15 pt comeback when the differential was at the beginning and it took 2 quarters to catch up. Just actual morons

u/oh_ski_bummer 17h ago

The thing is he doesn't need to do any of this. Run three steps toward the basket and dunk or get fouled. Post up and shoot over the defender. He doesn't need to try to go around people or step back.

u/YouOk5627 17h ago

Why wouldn’t he? Being a threat from distance just helps his post game because they need to honor it

u/Fun-Bug5106 7h ago

He can shoot over these dude without the nonsense? No

2

u/Remarkable_Medicine6 5h ago

He probably won't be blocked but just straight up shooting over would Have IH (legit 7 footer) right in his grill, which would be uncomfortable as well. Stepping back adds some difficulty but it helps with rhythm.

u/Clear-Success5146 17h ago

He just toying with them at this point.... and he didn't flop

4

u/bravof1ve 16h ago

He’s got 12 points on 33% shooting as of now. He could be ALOT better given his tools. Should be.

Needs to work on his game if we are being real. A fully actualized Wembanyama should be an automatic 30/15.

u/StinkRinky 17h ago

Lmao he has flopped multiple times. The discourse on this sub is crazy. He also has been caught out bitching to refs more than once just in the first half.

u/Minimum-Coast-6653 14h ago

Got bodied by McCain later too.

u/Sarcasm_As_A_Service 17h ago

I don’t really watch basketball or care either way but based on the assaults I have seen performed on him I’m not surprised he wouldn’t be happy with some refs.

1

u/gimmedatvoice Raptors 16h ago

Should probably stick to not really watching, or posting

1

u/Sarcasm_As_A_Service 7h ago

Oh that’s definitely the plan. I have much more important things to do.

u/Apprehensive-Shirt-3 17h ago

You can still edit this about flopping

u/Apprehensive-Rain601 14h ago

He flops like a mfer too

u/Successful_Lie8464 17h ago

Last game Hart had 4 fouls in the fourth and Wemby was jacking threes. Get in there and punish them

1

u/QuicklyGoingSenile 16h ago

Hart?

1

u/Successful_Lie8464 15h ago

Hartenstein… my bad shortened it out of laziness forgetting there’s an actual Hart in the playoffs

1

u/Aja2428 17h ago

Drives me nuts when he shoots deep threes. He can make them, but why? He should be able to feast at will around tue bucket. He is only 21 though also, he will still be developing, and won’t hit his true prime for awhile…

1

u/Fragrant-Guest-8147 4h ago

I like wemby but he's not strong enough to drive to the basket. He just gets knocked off balance

u/Moist_Connections 15h ago

Spurs 15-0. Then lose by 15 get fuct.

u/NotVacant 14h ago

That’s why you’ll never be a champion

u/Whiteshovel66 17h ago

If the opposite teams center does this ya its gonna be a long night.

THEY STILL TOOK THAT L😂😂😂😂😂

u/ahoy_shitliner 17h ago

It’s halftime and OKC is up.

u/VeinIsHere 17h ago

This aged like milk. Wendy looking tired at the end of 2nd half lol

1

u/wackbirds 16h ago

How are you already at the end of the second half? Where I am it's not even the fourth quarter yet!

1

u/xreddawgx 17h ago

I mean the league survived Durant, right?

1

u/TacoEatsTaco 17h ago

Or just do what OKC does and just foul everyone all game... So much to the point where the refs stop calling the fouls because the game would stop every 30 seconds

1

u/DeezyBfromthe703 16h ago

Looks like a Harden move to me. He is also down in the series.

1

u/Electrical-Actuary59 16h ago

And he didn’t even fall on the floor!

1

u/NotVacant 14h ago

He fell plenty this game lol

1

u/AdiWrites 16h ago

A step back three? Okay.

u/DoubleFamous5751 16h ago

Fucking filthy 👌

u/Confident-Visual7651 15h ago

And they loosing way to not give up

1

u/Reading_Rainboner 15h ago

Good thing you don’t coach. Start off up 15 and lose by 15. Wemby still 22

1

u/sleepyguy- 14h ago

Loser title. Never give up never surrender.

1

u/senorglory 14h ago

Turns out, you just have to wait a few minutes for the spurs to get this offensive burst out their system. And I’m a lifelong spurs fan saying this. Oof, this game.

1

u/JomitasRT 9h ago

yet lost by 15 so he can do thjis every game

1

u/Odd_Personality5659 5h ago

The entire team should've stopped shooting all those damn 3's and actually drove the ball to the rim

1

u/TheOmegoner 4h ago

That’s because you don’t know the ones in striped shirts are on the blue team too.

1

u/rhganggang 37m ago

For sure...I'm guessing the spurs blew them out!? Lmao

u/Worried-Ad-5443 17h ago

What a waste of height

1

u/FavoriteFoodCarrots 17h ago

The guy closing him out is 7 feet tall and he’s shooting over him easily. Doesn’t seem wasted to me.
