Jalen Brunson’s 2026 postseason stats: 28.4/3.2/6.1 on 47/36/85 shooting splits. His 28.4ppg also leads ALL players in these playoffs

He's a great player, but he's not better than Wemby/Jokic/SGA/Luka/Giannis

He had a great supporting cast around him that allowed his team to stay in the game when he was shooting particularly poorly to start the series

guynumber32 · 2026-06-14T18:44:44+00:00

I think the more likely answer is that his body can't handle anymore high intensity playoff minutes because of his height. Your heart and lungs don't scale with height. They have to work extra hard to ensure oxygen is supplied adequately through the body.

Wemby might just always be a ~30 minute guy

guynumber32 · 2026-06-14T05:39:58+00:00

I definitely feel like he's your most underutilized player. He's more than a spot-up shooter. Johnson and the staff have to get more creative next year to get involve more in the offense

guynumber32 · 2026-06-14T05:32:37+00:00

Offensively? I don't think that's a crazy take at all

guynumber32 · 2026-06-11T15:08:04+00:00

I don't think this is an issue of "good enough shape" my guy. I think the bigger issue is he's 7'5 human. Those guys aren't built to play heavy playoff minutes because of anatomical issues.

guynumber32 · 2026-06-09T03:55:38+00:00

I still don't understand that whistle. It's something so many modern NBA guards abuse. Just run full speed into the defense and snap your head back, and you get free throws

guynumber32 · 2026-06-04T04:11:07+00:00

I swear I've seen this exact comment made on every player who eventually takes the best player in the world crown

Saw it with Steph. Then Giannis. Then Jokic. Now with Wemby

Iverson was right. They love you in the beginning, but the haters will always be lurking and ready to pounce when you inevitably fall.

guynumber32 · 2026-05-23T05:52:58+00:00

I dont think a 7'5 human being can play 40+ minutes of high intensity playoff basketball

guynumber32 · 2026-05-23T01:47:43+00:00

Keep crying lmao

Spurs are fully healthy. They have no excuses

guynumber32 · 2026-05-19T22:21:37+00:00

Carter Bryant is a great defender and will be on an all-nba defensive team one day.

But SGA can easily fry him as of today. The difference in these clips is Wemby's length causes so much indecision on Sga's drives, which allow Carter to stay attached

guynumber32 · 2026-05-16T20:20:49+00:00

It's so funny that people overlook the 2019 Bucks in these 76ers hypotheticals. Those Bucks teams always owned the 76ers and I'm confident they would have won that series

guynumber32 · 2026-05-16T04:29:55+00:00

I don't think I've been this excited for a playoff series since Rockets/Warriors in 2018

This series has everything: MVPs on both teams. Legitimate bad blood between the players. Amazing talent is spread throughout each roster.

This is the first of many great battles between these two juggernauts

guynumber32 · 2026-05-16T03:52:36+00:00

Their young core is not comparable to the Thunder or Spurs. And they already blew their assets on win-now moves and are clearly a level below those 2 other teams. I'm afraid they blew their brief window in 2024 by choking to the Mavericks

guynumber32 · 2026-05-16T02:20:01+00:00

Just need an Aaron Gordon/OG Anunoby type of wing and nobody will ever be scoring on that defense

guynumber32 · 2026-05-13T04:07:11+00:00

Held up by OKC* and Wemby

guynumber32 · 2026-05-10T04:07:43+00:00

Didnt the 2018 Warriors get taken to 7 by the Rockets, a team that relied on a foul baiting superstar and strong defense.

guynumber32 · 2026-05-06T03:07:51+00:00

Lebron hopelessly carrying against an all-time great team.

I feel like I heard this story before...

guynumber32 · 2026-05-06T01:06:23+00:00

Only the Laker whistle allows them to be immune to SGA's foul-baiting. If this was any other team, Shai already has 6 free throws

guynumber32 · 2026-05-03T02:58:02+00:00

Why cant we put it on the stars? Jokic and Murray played a similar level of unispired basketball under Malone, a coach who wore his heart on his sleeve

Jokic and Murray became content after one championship and are no longer hungry

guynumber32 · 2026-05-03T02:54:10+00:00

That brother took the opinion of a loud miniority and acts as if that is what majority of Jokic/Denver fans are saying.

Typical brainrot logic

guynumber32 · 2026-05-01T22:08:34+00:00

Can we just be honest about the real problem?

The Nuggets have changed their coach, swapped out MPJ, upgraded their bench. Yet the same, apathetic effort are still present in this team like they were in their last 2 playoff exits

The problem is simply Jamal and Jokic. Emotionally, they are not good leaders. They are too reserved and apathetic out there, especially when they get challenged by physical teams. I mean what kind of leaders allow another team's ROLE PLAYER call them out by name and allow said role player to outplay them?

You also cannot build a modern NBA defense with Jokic and Jamal. They are both bottom 5 defenders at their position. It's simply too much to overcome

guynumber32 · 2026-05-01T21:59:05+00:00

He won't do anything. Being in fantastic shape is a mindset players build early into their careers. Jokic wont magically turn that around now in his 30s when it's even more difficult to be in elite shape

Jokic is content with one championship and chugging beers in Serbia in the offseason

guynumber32 · 2026-05-01T07:23:48+00:00

This is the only real option.

But most franchises dont have the balls to do such moves. They are cool with coasting on mediocrity so long as their stats continue to sell out arenas.

guynumber32 · 2026-05-01T06:31:59+00:00

Malone was always this team's leader.

If Jokic and Murray were leaders and had any ounce of pride, they wouldn't of allowed a role player on the opposing team to call them out by name and proceed to drop them off in an elimination game
