Talking about "I'm not a system player. I'm a system". All the my sacrifices were appreciated, like he didn't bring it up any chance he had last year lol. It's almost like he doesn't realize what his role will be with the Clippers, like he's not the third option. Talking about being on a leash, but had the ball the second most behind Luka all year. Then, the next sentence saying I'll do what T-Lue wants me to do to win lol

I'm just glad it's over, and hopefully Sixers can be a normal team without the consistent drama lol

I should start a least favorite player list. Harden would be at the top.

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

Rookie race has been pretty special this year. Through 8 games anyways lol

Wemby - about 19/9/2
Chet - about 17/8/3

Both sitting right at 2.5 blocks, and 1 steal a game.

I’ve watched at least part of all 8 (well 9 if you count tonight) Wemby games but just a handful of Chet’s games. I think “eye test” for me Chet feels slightly more polished offensively overall, and I love his defensive reads and instincts.. Wemby just makes more random **** happen with his length. Everyone second guesses around him, you can’t let him catch the ball anywhere near the paint or its a dunk, and he feels like he has just slightly better body control than Chet does. Chet has really great timing, and a really great feel for the game, he just sees things differently, but is not as physically imposing and has a bit more of that tall dude awkwardness to him.

Will be interesting to se going forward. Wemby gets more opportunities with the Spurs, his usage is almost double Chet’s, but that’s also likely hurts his efficiency a bit too. On the reverse for Chet he’s like peak Jokic, Curry level efficient right now. TS% of 72 and he’s at almost 60/55/90 splits. You knew the touches and usage would be lower on a better team, but it’s likely helping him be a bit more efficient too. I really feel like OKC should actually feature him a bit more, even if it just gets him a couple more free-throws a game he’s automatic at the line.

Might be the best two-man duo we’ve had since Bron and Melo. Both guys look like they could nearly crack the All-Star game right now. Wemby had another good scoring night tonight and has had some flashes of big games now. He’s going to be heavily featured going forward and I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see that scoring climb, maybe even eventually to the mid 20s by year end… Don’t think Chet gets the touches to compete there, but he should be featured a bit more himself too. Not enough games/minutes for the better/more telling advanced stats to be up yet, but Chet is right at a top 15 player right now in PER, BPM, and VORP.

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

This years draft ended at like 1am east coast on a Thursday so anything would make more sense then that from a ratings standpoint

Not sure how well the second day would do viewership wise

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

Have always agreed with this personally.

Of course rivalries ramp up the intensity as well, but you wouldn’t even believe me and my boys are cool the way we go at each other on the court…

Then our families go out to dinner after, lol

This Kelly Oubre situation is wild…

I just looked it up and read about it. Been out all day with my lady. Good to hear he’s stable at least. Sucks that he’s gonna miss significant time, but it could’ve been worse.

Just realized they play each other this Tuesday. I'll definitely be watching that game.

I'm just disappointed he was playing so well. The last time this happen I think he was on the Suns.

I thought he was going to take off. He's been playing really good basketball. Hopefully he can recapture this.

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

I've been away this weekend. That's really sucks about Oubre since he's been playing so well for us. Also messed up that the driver fled away.

Yoooooo I've been rollerblading since May. Literally the other day I was going thru a cross walk. I'm talking milliseconds behind me. A delivery guy got hit and run. This guy's leg was bend the other way. It's crazy that anyone could blast thru someone with their car and just drive away.
