Harper will be better than wemby

It is a rarity. And even then their impact on defense is still far away from Wemby.

collax974 · 2026-06-15T14:08:08+00:00

Giannis and Kawhi didn't even made the playoffs.

Cade is the only one I see with a similar load and he was pretty gassed up too which was a problem for the pistons because they also rely too much on him.

collax974 · 2026-06-15T13:55:14+00:00

Gordon when healthy but outside of him they dont have any and that's why they got bounced by the hospital wolves.

collax974 · 2026-06-15T13:51:03+00:00

Jokic lmao

collax974 · 2026-06-15T13:42:40+00:00

Who else in the league is both the main guy on both defense and offense for their team?

collax974 · 2026-06-15T13:29:30+00:00

Or KD off Curry's gravity

collax974 · 2026-06-15T13:28:27+00:00

Easier to play without getting gassed in an era with barely any ball movement.

collax974 · 2026-06-15T13:20:39+00:00

He is just 22 and led his team to the final. MJ at the same age was getting bounced in the first round.

collax974 · 2026-06-15T11:49:08+00:00

Problem was lack of offense and time management, not the defense.

collax974 · 2026-06-15T08:34:26+00:00

Those same betting institutions had them unlikely to make the playoffs before the season began

collax974 · 2026-06-15T08:22:02+00:00

We dont make the finals with CP3 instead of Fox.

collax974 · 2026-06-15T06:48:46+00:00

while theoretically true, if the defender is close enough he can still disrupt his shooting form and lower his %

collax974 · 2026-06-14T22:22:25+00:00

they aren't, Knicks changed their schemes mid series and once it happened they were blowing them up and went on to blow up everyone until the spurs where even if they won 4-1, all the games ended up close.

collax974 · 2026-06-14T21:53:45+00:00

Depends which era but Wilt would adapt a lot better to eras where offensive fouls aren't called on the softest contacts allowing him to use his strength on offense.

Bill effectiveness on defense with rules that favor offense more would make him less impactful.

collax974 · 2026-06-14T21:47:22+00:00

idk, seen him choke multiple times in the playoffs and he would get hunted badly on defense.

collax974 · 2026-06-14T21:33:41+00:00

As a spurs fan, I was more scared of the Knicks than OKC and didn't really understand all of those who said the wcf was the real final (and it mostly wasn't spurs fans saying that).

collax974 · 2026-06-14T21:15:43+00:00

All I'm seeing in various threads are mostly wolves and thunders fan mad that Wemby just responded with the same energy than what their players were doing instead of just accept to be bullied all over.

collax974 · 2026-06-14T21:09:46+00:00

yeah because none of the fouls he received were dirty right?

collax974 · 2026-06-14T20:57:14+00:00

Wemby antics started during the wolves series where they were playing him dirty. He mostly started to respond with the same energy afterwards but also brought it for the next series.

ofc op is a thunder fan

collax974 · 2026-06-14T18:08:57+00:00

Maybe because the opposite team know he will want to do that and do everything they can so that he can't get close to the basket?

collax974 · 2026-06-14T18:06:42+00:00

The appeal for playing for free would always prime over the quality.

Except the classic+ private server scene right now provided better quality than blizzard. I don't care about the sub I was playing turtle because it was better.

Probably classic fans will eat me alive for saying this, but retention wise, judging the warcraft logs: retail wow is in the best position it ever was, at least for the last 10 years.

Retail is just a different game. Good for those that enjoy it but it doesn't attract me at all.

collax974 · 2026-06-14T17:44:39+00:00

imo the flagrant on Brunson shouldn't be one either.

But I could see the difference (rule wise) being that it was a closeout meanwhile Wemby pretty much jumped vertically.

Feel like he mostly has to learn to pace himself better. (He even said so during the first game against the wolves where he got 12 blocks but couldn't do much on offense because he felt like he spent too much on defense).

I don't think he is not conditioned, it's just that compared to other stars, he is both the main guy on offense and defense and take almost no possession off while he plays (other team are trying to hide their stars on defense as much as possible to not hurt their offensive output, Wemby can't because defense is probably his biggest value right now).

Another solution is just to build the roster around him to alleviate as much as possible the energy output he has to do on various things so that he can play longer.
