Must win game for Indiana. They’re not winning game 5 or a potential game 7.

I dont put Wemby in the Lebron team hopping for HOF help category. Dude actually has a bag....an insane bag at that.
I know, but will he win? I guess he will, he’s really good. But is it guaranteed? If 20 years on realgm taught me anything, it’s that it doesn’t work how everybody/the mainstream/the loudest, rudest etc. anticipate and there will mostly be upsets at the end of the day. I think he will win some championships, but I won’t be surprised if things don’t go as planned.
Given time yeah he will win. His talent and super rare height and length make the game stupidly easy for him while making him super difficult to defend. Once he gets stronger it's over....if he has any kind of talent next to him. We've seen when healthy not playing with even one near all-star dude would have had the Spurs in the playin in the West.
I think the only thing that could derail him is the durability of being super tall...for players 7'1" it's can be a real concern.

OKC usually leads in the first quarter, it’s not looking good for them.

I would do it because we could use a ball handler but I have a feeling fans might get aggravated with him.
Russ could serve as Josh Hart insurance. Actually I think he could do whatever Josh is doing (both the good and the bad) at the fraction of the cost.

Didn’t notice Scott Foster was officiating. All these weak fouls make sense now.

iHart getting smoked out there.
If you're the Thunder, and you see how much Caruso is a major part of the action for you -- that's a sign of trouble.
