Wemby is doing this because the Knicks' coach hasn't rolled out any sort of strategy to effectively defend him. He's just leaving KAT, a mediocre defender , in lala Land trying to defend this freak of nature.

We have a 7'2 wingspan wing who is a top 3 defender in this league and he is guarding a nobody: freaking Jeremy Sochan....

Wendy is on Pace to taking 36 shots in a shooting 50% from the field. None of the other Spurs players are in a real shooting rhythm... at what point do you give Wemby a different look, maybe even double?

No. What did he say ?




Around 1:09 when he starts talking about Thibs.

Just like I thought. The players are coaching themselves there is no strategy

It's more than that but go ahead and dumb it down for yourself

I feel like Kat dives too often off the pick instead of spacing. If he pops he's open every time.

That goofy one legged jumper Wemby did, OG would have picked his pocket.

Thibs is weak af for how he's defending Wemby

I do believe the refs are going to favor him but they really haven't put them at the line at all which is surprising
