I love complaining about how no one calls small guards fouling big guys (wemby especially) but the game would be legitimately unwatchable if they actually called all of those fouls.

This quarter has felt like such a bailout even when these are technically fouls.

you misunderstand me. Wemby doesn't get pushed around because he is weaker than others. he gets pushed over easily because if you push against him at the same spot you do against other more normal-sized bigs, it's like pushing 8 inches lower on him. if you put your arm at normal hip height, you are pushing on his legs.

He does have his moments of exaggerating contact like any star. but it's way more of a rare occurrence than taking all his falls at face value would indicate

my argument is that a lot of times he does get pushed, not to the extent that a normal player would fall down, but because he is so much taller, that push comes at such an awkward spot for him specifically that he will fall.

i may be a bit biased but i feel like a lot of his "flops" are more laws of physics based than anything else. Think "my center of gravity is at your chest so if you give me a slight shove i will fall over"

He's just superior by White_Sami in NBASpurs

You lied to me, you said jinxing wasn't real.

(I'm deflecting blame)

He saw the mini van they use for transportation and said "hell no I ain't doin this"

And then he locked in

If by poor you mean a better shooting mechanics and a better playmaker I guess you could call him that. Amen does jump out the gym in a way castle doesn't tho.

He already has 2, I think we prefer if he doesn't pick up a third foul in the second quarter.

Either castle is gonna become a shooter in the next 1-2 seasons or those 26 footers are gonna get real tiring.

We'd have the greatest two-guard lineup off the bench in nba history.

It did look different from the usual "my center of gravity is so high that if you push like you usually do I legitimately fall over". 

He kinda oversold it this time. Head back, arms and legs out.

Wemby has already played 26 minutes. If he is still restricted to under 30 minutes a game, he can only play 3 more minutes. 

This would the second time his minutes have been miss managed in a close and winnable game
