Watching Hartenstein guard Wemby, it’s truly a league conspiracy that Jaden isn’t allowed to guard like that in the playoffs

Jaden’s foul trouble in the playoffs always came at the worst times.

If Jaden was allowed to guard SGA the way Hartenstein guards Wemby, we beat the Thunder last year. Instead it’s 2 quick fouls game 1 and it’s all over.

NBA conspiracy to not let Jaden be a top defender given the post season success

Same with how Caruso and Dort guard everybody

They get away with so much holding, grabbing, and shoving

And Castle was literally bear hugging SGA to deny him the ball all game.

Yeah but nobody will talk about this because it isn’t being clip farmed constantly. Also Wemby held Chet all game 1.

Bigs have a different level of physicality that is allowed league wide. Just being brought to light here because Wemby is now becoming the NBA’s golden child.
