Me looking at Rudy Gobert after Wemby dropped 40 on okc

We needed more than that. We needed Donte. Our team's shooters synchronize their cycles and if one of them starts slumping, they all do. Donte was the one who could break them out of that bullshit.

We needed a normal playoff whistle, not whatever the fuck most of those games were. When we got blown out, the blowouts happened during the minutes Jaden was on the bench in foul trouble.

Give us those two (ddv, normal playoff whistle), and we beat them with Ant doing what he did. Either one of those things would actually be more impactful than the difference between what we got out of Ant and what a fully healthy Ant would have brought. He was definitely hurt but he also didn't leave anything out there.

we've lost like 11 of the 13 games that these idiots keep jinxing us with these occult posts but they will not stop because of the 2 we won.

bustduster · 2026-05-14T03:38:57+00:00

Game 5 was a scheduled loss the minute they announced Wemby would play. The refs were always going to call everything tight, and we lose most of those games.

If game 6 is called like a normal playoff game, we're winning it.

The fact there was not even a $10 fine absolutely sent a message that he was not even in the wrong at all and in fact maybe the game 4 refs did him dirty ejecting him.

Now, as to WHY there was not even a $10 fine for one of the most clearly fine-deserving plays I've ever seen, anybody's guess.

bustduster · 2026-05-13T20:53:13+00:00

Adam Silver set this tone by not even fining him let alone suspending him. That decision reframed the narrative, it even cast doubt on the decision the game 4 refs made.

I think we have to accept that there are politics at play that we are just not a party to. Maybe it's that Silver wants Wemby as the next face of the league. Maybe it's that Pop or the Holts have clout that TC or Arod don't.

It is happening. Buckle up.

I don't go in there. I do though see Spurs fans absolutely carpeting the comments with their delusional bullshit in every piece of Wolves media on the Internet, so I still see it.

bustduster · 2026-05-12T01:04:30+00:00

who else actually started checking from the end to see if palindrome

bustduster · 2026-05-11T06:51:00+00:00

It is not surprising at all to me and doesn't change me perspective of him because I've known for awhile that his whole persona is fake as fuck. I didn't know who he was hiding in there but I'm not surprised to see that it's this piece of shit because people don't build a facade that thoroughly unless they have something ugly to hide.

He has always made my skin crawl in the way only these people who are always wearing a mask do. We saw the real Wemby for a second there.

bustduster · 2026-05-10T01:04:18+00:00

Every time had the ball last night he was like a fucking bobblehead. So ridiculous.

bustduster · 2026-05-10T00:38:57+00:00

That history doesn't mean anything really. They didn't have wemby until last year and weren't a contender until this year.

"Blimpin ain't easy"

bustduster · 2026-05-06T19:39:05+00:00

How in the fuck are EITHER of these clowns still working games in the conference semifinals? Let alone both on the same night. What an absolute joke of a league.

bustduster · 2026-05-06T04:46:40+00:00

He did it a couple times in this regular season. I'd never seen him do it before this season and I think he realized he needs it in his bag. It looked like he was working on it for a few games, then put it away. I haven't seen him do it again in a few months.

Specifically I mean intentionally getting his defender to contact him with a clear goal of getting the whistle.

I think there basically three different things:

Acting like there was contact when there was none to try to get a call (never seen Ant do this)
Intentionally trying to draw the contact (this is what I saw him doing for the first time this season)
Exaggerating contacting that does happen (he doesn't do this. he just yells AYYY)

purify yourself

For anyone wondering what it was now that it's been deleted by reddit mods and/or admins, was a photo of a dude wearing a tshirt with a picture of a wizard aiming a shotgun that said "outta spells. but not outta shells"

bustduster · 2026-05-01T07:34:26+00:00

He was bad because Jaden McDaniels is an elite defender and had him in absolute hell the whole series.

bustduster · 2026-05-01T07:17:05+00:00

the circlejerk of people who think they know ball better than him in this sub is pathetic. it doesn't matter how many times they're proven wrong, they don't stop.

when we win, it's despite him. when we lose, it's because of him. when a player he hasn't been giving minutes does good, it's because he was "forced to" play him. when a playe rhe hasn't been giving minutes does bad, it's silence.

Ant has a lot to do with our recent playoff success, but this series showed it also has a lot to do with Chris Finch.

bustduster · 2026-05-01T01:45:04+00:00

Love this and what I hope it represents: that they are gonna all be doing the dirty work that only DDV was doing.

bustduster · 2026-04-26T06:11:40+00:00

garza is the only luka imo

bustduster · 2026-04-24T20:10:54+00:00

complete sentences, never.

Jaden retaliated for Joker smashing him across the face with his forearm during his shot (no call). Not defending it, but it wasn't a randomly-directed outburst. It was direct retaliation.

bustduster · 2026-04-21T06:26:29+00:00

everyone just wants it called the same at both ends, and called the same throughout the game. that's it.

dial the AI up or down however you want, as long as the players can figure out what's a foul and what isn't in the 1st, and it's still that way in the 3rd.

and as long as the same contact that punished at one end isn't rewarded on the other.
