    Wemby made OKC look like the Clippers.

    Let’s talk Robots. He’s an NBA Robot. He showed you everything. He makes a Curry 3 from the same spot Curry hit his legendary 3. He’s 7,6” shooting like a point guard. He blocks shots like Shaq and then dunks like Shaq. Handles like a guard. They got build a bear. Build a Basketball player. He’s the best. Ever. Can you think of a player with more raw talent????

    He makes the 3 to tie the game and put in overtime. That’s Wemby pulls up behind the 3 point line. This insane. Don’t say tank again. Ever. The biggest tank was the spurs tanking trading White and Murray. The NBA awarded the Spurs Wemby after Kawhi forced hisself out. f*** Poppoavich b****ing about us and Gasol when we got him. Refused to send Kawhi here. And he’s gifted the best player since Lebron. NBA is funny. They just so happen to get the number 1 pick when Wemby is in the draft. f*** outa here.

    Duren is 6'9, so his height isn't affecting Wemby. Weight wise, maybe he can affect him a bit? Although, Hartenstein is the same weight as Duren, but he is 7' and he got played off the court in 12 mins.

    I just don't think we're going to beat Wemby with tall guys. We have to slow the other guys and try to deny Wemby just easy shots at the rim by fronting him.

    I typed 3pt firepower. OKC isn't a great 3pt shooting team. Out of there 12 man rotation, only Isaiah Joe is a 40% shooter, the next best is SGA at 38.6% on 4.4 attempts, but in the playoffs he is at 32% which the tougher defending. I just don't think OKC is trying to beat you by 3's. They're attacking the basket, relying on mid range attempts from SGA and getting into transition from their defense.

    f*** Jeanie. Cost us a championship with AD when she let Caruso go because she was cheap. And Penny pinching. And chose THT over Caruso. You can tell she doesn’t watch Basketball. And doesn’t know Basketball. Clueless. Anybody with Sense. Would’ve kept him. And he begged to stay with us. Thank you Jeanie.

    Give us Jokic and we make a series out of it against the Spurs with Luka.

    AC sure would have helped us get through so many injuries over these years. What a winning player.

    Maybe build a team that plays 5 out to keep Victor out of the lane and opens it for Luka.Myles Turner would be an option for a team like that.You certainly can’t go big on big with him

    Shaq would destroy Wemby inside. But Wemby would play him off the court with his ability to take him outside. Shaq had trouble with Centers like that. Like Olawjuwon.

    I think of him and Kareem. That’s my similarities. San Antonio is using our blue print against Shai. He didn’t play that great against us. The other guys went crazy. And with Wemby and that defense. Those guys can’t do anything.

    Well said been waiting for your take on it OG. I love Wemby and I hate the Spurs. The pose at the end of the game was so good. Cause it was f*** OKC. Can’t stand the spurs they were gifted this.

    Yeah on every point!

    F those refs. Please everyone complain!!! So glad the Spurs won, even if it is a double edged sword. Caruso rocked. He is the biggest blunder from Rob and Jeannie over their complete tenure.

    SGA gets the MVP and comes out and shoots 7-23 and they lose in double overtime. So, who would rather have SGA over Wembanyama??? Not me, will take Victor and change over 4 Shai's and Holmgren.

    Shaq would foul out before half time. Wemby couldn't guard him in the paint, Shaq wouldn't do s*** rest of the court. It's crazy how guy this tall can dribble and shoot the ball.

    I loved Caruso on the Lakers... HATE him as a Thunder. Guy fouls and hacks on every defensive play... gets away with it too.
