Chet is not in the same hempisphere let alone universe as Wemby.

In fact I don't think he is as good as Alpie Sengun either..

So overrated


He’s much better than Sengun with a lot more ceiling

The guy has the athleticism of a Stoudemire but he's just never really developed his game offensively. There've been a lot of bigs like that. Chandler and Jordan come to mind.

The 3 day rest is not enough. Bad NBA Finals scheduling, give them a 5 day rest

How could you feel this way about Sengun after watching what Draymond did to him in round 1?

OKC could be physical but their stupid ass coach refuses to use Holmgren/Hartenstein together... all because of Cason Wallace's scrubby ass.

People really don't understand that so much about the NBA is time and place. One player who looks mediocre on one team might be a completely different player in a different environment. The best coaches and GM's can identify who those guys would be on their teams.

When's the last time we've had a champion not have a superstar?

Indy has a chance without one.

Nesmith makes a 3 and causes a turnover the next play.

If Alpli just gets his freethrows down instead of talking to the ball, Chet can’t touch him. He’s called baby Jokic for a reason
