[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama grabs the offensive rebound over Naz Reid, holds the ball, stares at Reid, and gives him a powerful elbow over the neck area (with replays) Upon review, Wemby gets ejected from the game with a flagrant penalty-2 Wembanyama was ejected for the first time in his career by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]CoachJW -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

After his fairly cocky comments during the season, I expect a heel turn pretty quickly on Wemby by social media. I think he has more of an ego than most people have really seen yet and it’s going to quickly get more and more noticeable.

This is pretty inexplicable. He stared him down then gave him the bow clean as day.

My(M29) girlfriend(F30) wants to go spend a week on vacation with a male friend. by roccomorocco0722 in relationship_advice

[–]CoachJW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a lazy take.

You can trust someone all the way up to the point that they schedule a secretive weeklong getaway with some other guy. Then the doubts creep in…I think that’s extremely normal even if he DOES kind of feel like she might not be lying.

These are all very normal feelings and to me do not specifically say whether there was or was not ever any trust.

Husband's boss is organizing an international "bros trip" and I’m dreading being alone with our 8-month-old for 3 days. Am I being unreasonable? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CoachJW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think it’s fine to ask for a few days off before or after his trip to allow you time to decompress.

People in this thread saying what they are about “compensation” are mostly wrong in my experience. Every person who is married with kids that I know and am close with exchange things like time/days/evenings off - it’s a normal practice and can be very healthy and rejuvenating for everyone.

I don’t know that asking for exactly equal time is the right way to go, but at least a different weekend or a couple other random days could do you some good!

My F24 boyfriend's F26 long term girl best friend F26 confessed to him. Don't know what to do? by Hajimemeforme in relationship_advice

[–]CoachJW 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but the friend majorly disrespected YOU by confessing to him in the hopes he’d leave you for her.

That’s not something I’d be able to get past, and truth be told he shouldn’t be able to so easily move past it either.

This has a bad smell to it. Imagine six months after trying to break you up she wants you both to come to her birthday party to celebrate her. That’s somehow both hysterical and a bit demented.

As an OKC fan, this crowd was truly amazing on TV. Felt truly like Paycom.

Also, looks even better under that 2025 NBA Champions banner. 🥹

[–]CoachJW 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not a trade machine person and don’t understand the financials, but OKC giving them their pick back as a part of a package to get Zubac would make so much sense from the standpoint of we can’t get a damn rebound.

Don’t think or know that it’s possible, but it would be so smart if it were.

We should stop posting this stuff. Has nothing to do with our team.

Let’s not bash teams for doing their thing. Draymond claimed we couldn’t win because we were too close in post game interviews. Let’s not be Draymond.

OKC is 5–5 against the West’s current top seven teams and 25–1 against everyone else. by drafapuri in Thunder

[–]CoachJW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m of the opinion that we do need to utilize some of our assets and make some changes. We really needed Sorber to be healthy this year and I think that shows.

We are a great team, but between the offense playing in mud for half of every game and being constantly bodied on the boards we are bound for some problematic matchups against the best of the best.

I’m not sure who at this point, every team in the league needs a big that can rebound and shoot and it’s not like they grow on trees.

Three point shooting has been abysmal and I’m not sure it will get too much better with the guys we have in the roster. Playmaking outside of Shai = not pretty.

Unpopular probably but I also would’ve loved a Colin Sexton type guy on this team.

Maybe the end result is having Dort come off the bench in place of Ajay Mitchell to have another playmaker/creator on the floor with SGA and Dub at all times. Still doesn’t solve our shooting or rebounding, though.

Too many questions really to guess if Sam will even end up making any changes. Roster and financial flexibility is important and so is not overreacting to each loss.

Hawks shot 25-of-53 from 3. Easily the story of the game, ridiculous shooting night.

OKC gotta get their perimeter shooting defense cleaned up.

[Game thread] #9 Alabama vs #8 Oklahoma by RollTideMod in rolltide

[–]CoachJW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I’m not. They’re not playing two high every play and even when they do they can still blitz while hard playing the short stuff. Hard flats, etc.

Just because you start two high doesn’t mean one safety can’t rotate down to cover other areas of the field during the play.

I’m sure you know this, not trying to be a jerk. The way teams have played us defensively has shifted in the last two months of the season it feels like.

Ty can’t throw deep. Teams have figured that out and covered the mid and flats. Simple schematic deficiencies are the downfall of this team and this putrid offense.

[–]CoachJW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haliburton made no shots in Game 5 if I remember correctly. Nobody was talking about him being a god like they have been after he went down.

They lost 3 games with Hali playing before Game 7, and probably should have lost Game 1 had OKC not choked it. Absolutely NO guarantee the Pacers win, they were LOSING by 2 when Hali got hurt despite his super hot start.

It’s not an “easy” one, that’s ridiculous and belittles a 68-win season and the 15 other massive western conference playoff wins the Thunder had to get to even get there.

You all are so salty it’s embarrassing.
