It took the Spurs 7 games to beat the Thunder, who were missing their second and fourth best players.
What do you think the Knicks are going to do to them?!?!?
The main broadcast continuing to say definitively that Shai “has not seen a double team tonight” is so hilarious.
The narrative spreading starts here. This is where it comes from. So irresponsible.
Easiest Game 2 adjustment we can make is to collectively stop fearing Wemby in the paint.
I don’t care if he finishes the game with 15 blocks and a poster reel, run through his chest on offense and make sure he doesn’t get free looks on defense

Jokic got $50k for charging Jaden who ‘broke an unwritten rule’ scoring 2 points
Lamelo got $35k for a missed flagrant 2 for sweeping Bam’s leg from under him
Wemby gets $0 for a flagrant 2 elbowing Naz in the throat
The moment Victor Wembanyama arrived, every conversation around young big men changed.
Especially for Chet Holmgren.
Suddenly it wasn’t:
“Chet is special.”
It became:
“Yeah, but is he as good as Wemby?”
And honestly, that comparison made people forget how ridiculous Chet already is on his own.
Because while everyone keeps debating ceilings and hype, Chet is quietly building one of the best young résumés in basketball:
🔹 NBA Champion
🔹 NBA All-Star
🔹 64-win Thunder team
🔹 Elite rim protector
🔹 One of the best young two-way bigs in the NBA
Then Game 1 against the Lakers:
🔹 24 PTS
🔹 12 REB
🔹 3 BLK
🔹 52.9% FG
And this entire playoff run has been elite too:
🔹 17.3 PPG
🔹 8.5 RPG
🔹 2.0 BPG
While everyone keeps comparing him to an alien…
people forgot Oklahoma City has one too.
Most players would look “normal” next to Wemby.
Chet Holmgren doesn’t.
