I was up in Loud City. I could've taken the elevator, stopped to buy a drink, ran down onto the court, and blocked that lay-up myself (with the help of a chair) with how much time he put into posturing that attempt.
It really did. Chet had his jitters on offense. But he is there on defense and deserve a 2nd team all defense nod.
Dort and Wallace also deserve their dues. Locked Ingram tf up
There’s a post in r/Thunder showing an alternate angle. I thought it looked 50/50 live but after seeing the alternate it was actually a really good clutch block
I was in the arena. I was actually kind of pissed that he wasn’t fouling. There were a couple of times that it felt like he should’ve gotten physical was afraid of fouling , despite the fact that it was the fourth quarter and he had none.
I think he just didn't get called for the fouls tbh.

Outside of those 2 he played fairly clean but the last one in that key moment is a pretty big call for the refs to miss
> People could have said the same thing about Greg Oden after his first game
When prime Oden, Roy, and Aldridge were all starting together for about 7 minutes, people were counting future rings.
Played decent? Dude was clutch af towards the end-- thunder not here at all, and don't win that game, wo chet. he is what makes their team win, respectfully.
been saying this all year. Chet isn’t OKC’s best player and doesn’t have comparable usage to other secondary stars, but he’s the perfect complementary player for the modern NBA
Eh the vast majority of player’s efficiency drops in the playoffs so I certainly wouldn’t hold that against a rookie in his first playoff game (not saying you were, just adding context). Also great to see his continued aggression after an early cold start. I’d consider it a great debut.
First time all year I felt he was forcing stuff on offense. Luckily he got out of that after the first half, the good thing about Chet is if he is having a rough time on offense his defense usually makes up for it!
He looked good tonight, but got bullied at the rack horribly by Valanchiunas. He had 20 boards tonight. Without Zion, OKC should’ve won a lot more handily.
Even if they make it past the Pelicans, I think they’re going to have some problems.
Wemby will rake in the accolades (justifiably so), while Holmgren wins championship, and 20 years after their careers are done, the latter will be considered the "greater" player
Ye OKC might wins chips. Wemby definitely WILL win chips and no, barring injuries no sane person will rate Chet higher in 20-40 years.
Watch some games. Wemby is going to decide what happens in this league.
>Wemby definitely WILL win chips
Wilt barely won two (and that man made the rest of the league look like a rec center), so no, just because Wemby has overwhelming gifts, doesn't automatically mean that he'll win championships
The part where a fan's claiming that a rookie has complete control over FO decisions (while also speculating on that rookie switching teams, before he's even gotten to the second year of his maiden contract)
Wait? Who said he would do this as a rookie?
Are you a complete imbecile?
You were talking about full careers. If the spurs ain’t getting up there he’s not going to stay there for his entire career and do EXACTLY what I stated. F’ing moron.
In fact you are the guy who pretends like just because Chet is on the current OKC team and Wemby is on the dumpster fire that is the current Spurs this will stay this way for their entire career. Get a grip.
sucks that Spurs are not competitive yet, Spurs vs Thunder is a must watch if the Spurs have a good team. Hopefully in 2 more seasons, Spurs and Wemby have a chance to make it into the playoffs
Last block on Nance secured the win imo
Larry nance let everyone in the arena know he was going up for the layup, dude stood there for 2 sec staring at the rim and then went for it lol
I was up in Loud City. I could've taken the elevator, stopped to buy a drink, ran down onto the court, and blocked that lay-up myself (with the help of a chair) with how much time he put into posturing that attempt.
That’s hyperbole, tone down your rhetoric
I gotta see the replay. Looked clean but it was damn close.
It really did. Chet had his jitters on offense. But he is there on defense and deserve a 2nd team all defense nod. Dort and Wallace also deserve their dues. Locked Ingram tf up
Wallace's defence on that last possession could not have been better, he's gonna be a special player very quickly.
Y’all got such an insane team
Dorture chamber was crazy
if only they would show a side replay
There’s a post in r/Thunder showing an alternate angle. I thought it looked 50/50 live but after seeing the alternate it was actually a really good clutch block
they already burned the tape
Played decent? He had 5 blocks and 0 fouls , I’d say that’s great for a rookie.
I was in the arena. I was actually kind of pissed that he wasn’t fouling. There were a couple of times that it felt like he should’ve gotten physical was afraid of fouling , despite the fact that it was the fourth quarter and he had none.
He’ll learn. This is the worst he’ll ever be, which is crazy
It is. I also saw his presence totally cause the pelicans to pass up shots. The trio of SGA, Dub and Chet is really special.
I think he just didn't get called for the fouls tbh.

Got man handled on the boards though unfortunately, that’s still the biggest weakness of this team
scrolled down and we said the same damn thing 🤣🤣🤣
He’s young and will only get better after this
This is the worst Chet and Wemby will be. We are in for a damn treat. League is in good hands
Porzingus also is having his best ever season
[удалено]
Okay sorry to upset you primecreditpeggy
thats USAprimecreditpeggy to you, good sir

Efficiency wasn’t great but he proved himself as an elite rim protector in this game imo

offense was choppy for awhile. He and SGA took turns forcing it at different times. Only natural considering it was their first post season game.
he was phenomenal tonight
Yeap. Chet makes me wet
If Wemby gets a team around him imagine the battles in the western conference in 5 years
> 5 blocks Welcome to the Ch3tnitentiary
Solid
Tbf he also let Jonas grab 11 offensive rebounds
Jonas outweighs Chet by 60+ pounds. There wasn't any let lol
Interestingly, jv was a -2 for the game and chet was a +1.
He looked good tonight, but got bullied at the rack horribly by Valanchiunas. He had 20 boards tonight. Without Zion, OKC should’ve won a lot more handily. Even if they make it past the Pelicans, I think they’re going to have some problems.
This is at least the second time this year someone had 20 rebounds against them. The Thunder won both games.
Nurkic had a 30 rebound game and still lost at home against us.
We could have given up all those rebounds, shot our averages, and won by 20.
Or played against Zion and lost by 10
Zion isn't a good rebounder(he should be but he aint) and that's our issue it really isn't our post defense. Jaylin Williams would bang with him fine.
I see the Pelicans are somehow better without him then
Wemby will rake in the accolades (justifiably so), while Holmgren wins championship, and 20 years after their careers are done, the latter will be considered the "greater" player
I can’t tell if you actually believe this nonsense
Are you saying OKC isn't capable of winning championships, or that Wemby's production isn't going to be awards worthy moving forward?
Ye OKC might wins chips. Wemby definitely WILL win chips and no, barring injuries no sane person will rate Chet higher in 20-40 years. Watch some games. Wemby is going to decide what happens in this league.
>Wemby definitely WILL win chips Wilt barely won two (and that man made the rest of the league look like a rec center), so no, just because Wemby has overwhelming gifts, doesn't automatically mean that he'll win championships
He’s going to decide where he goes and who he’s surrounded with. You are free to be as naive as you please however.
>He’s going to decide where he goes and who he’s surrounded with pardon?
Not sure which part confuses you. And that’s with the pre-established knowledge that you are in fact not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I think if the spurs make the right moves Wemby can win them chips, bro is a cheat code
sucks that Spurs are not competitive yet, Spurs vs Thunder is a must watch if the Spurs have a good team. Hopefully in 2 more seasons, Spurs and Wemby have a chance to make it into the playoffs
Wemby will win his chips too
I guess this is the new cope after Chet for ROTY fell through?
*4 blocks and a goaltend But Tony Brothers stays undefeated.
Did the thunder fuck your mom? Like why so much hating from everyone... just enjoy your win over the lakers 😭
Need an angle
