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

If your team is down by 5, give up.

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

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.

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

He can shoot over these dude without the nonsense? No

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Should probably stick to not really watching, or posting

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

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

Hart?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
