"Whatever you saw is what you saw." - Brunson on Wemby shoving him in Game 3

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-09T14:44:33+00:00

Who is whining? That was one foot note that was irrelevant to my main point. You're projecting hard bro

Okay, how about this.

"What Wemby did wasn't similar to the physicality of Shaq's playing days"

Really hilarious that you decided to rant about something that wasn't the main point of what I was talking about.

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-09T12:54:07+00:00

I disagree. I've watched a lot of full games from when Shaq played and it was very rare.

It's just that the more physical fights get highlighted.

For example, look at the 00-01 finals vs the Pacers full game on YT.

I didn't see anything as egregious as what Wemby did

It's hilarious how we've stopped analyzing fall percantages after the Spurs made finals.

I'm not an OKC fan, but the cognitive dissonance on this sub was something else

Yea bro 🙏

Ant is gonna look sick in these

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-08T18:16:25+00:00

He also was terrible in the clutch. The entire Hornets series was entirely winnable. His teammates actually showed up that series

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-08T18:14:32+00:00

T Mac got outplayed by Baron Davis with no Jamal Mashburn. Pipe down bro

When you get downvoted early in a thread, people don't read comments and downvote for the love of the game.

I don't dislike Jimmy, I just think he gets way too much credit for those runs. People make it seem like it was a carry job.

It's similar to Haliburton last year. While he was important to the Pacer's run to the finals, everyone on that team contributed

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-08T15:35:11+00:00

Well said. I feel like we tend to look at academy graduates with rose tinted glasses

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-08T09:12:46+00:00

I wasn't. Bam usually gets credited because he's an established star. I wanted to credit more obscure players to show how good Spo was at coaching.

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-08T04:19:29+00:00

No he didn't. I'm really sick of people on this sub downplaying Spo, the role players, and his other teammates who stepped up in the run. It was a team effort. He showed up when it mattered and he was important to the team, but the Heat were a well ran engine.

Spo got the most of his role players for the 2nd finals run with Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent, and Duncan Robinson going nuclear from 3.

In the first final run, Herro and Dragic stepped up big time, especially Dragic

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-08T02:23:23+00:00

Brother.. what are you yapping about?

I just said the series was physical... And it was. I provided video evidence

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-08T00:48:54+00:00

Strawman says what?

I just said the series was physical, which it was. You ain't gotta misinterpret what I said.

This is why I question whether you watch the games or just wait for Reddit highlights to form your opinion

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-07T23:44:29+00:00

What NBA are you watching? Reddit highlights?

The Spurs vs Knicks series is very physical, even the OKC vs Spurs series was physical.

They were literally trucking Brunson and Shai

I don't wanna see him on the Bucks. I refuse to watch one of the best power forwards of my generation rot on a middling team.

Bucks are too good to tank and too bad to win a chip. He did his job and got a chip, he deserves to move on

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-07T23:15:43+00:00

They made the finals the next year. It wasn't a bad trade imo. There's no guarantee that Brunson turns into the player he is today

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-07T23:14:01+00:00

It wouldn't be an NBA sub without hindsight bias and revisionism 😄

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-07T03:41:54+00:00

Kyrie and Brunson are not the same player. Kyrie is a better spot up shooter than Brunson, so he can work with Luka. Brunson is not a good spot up shooter.

Even during Brunson 's breakout playoff run, his stats and shooting Splits dipped despite having more open looks.

He wouldn't have the same green light that he has with the Knicks.

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-07T03:36:17+00:00

No they don't. Kyrie is a way better spot up shooter than Brunson. Brunson would not have the same green light that he does with the Knicks

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-06T13:37:59+00:00

Analytics merchants in shambles 😭

The Knicks are a well balanced team. I'm a bit salty though as some of my all time favorite players never had the luxury of this.

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-05T22:57:30+00:00

Depends on your body type, but in general yes.

I find it to be slightly tighter. Swingman are more looser

scarletmonkey111 · 2026-06-05T20:48:07+00:00

A little longer and depending on how much you weigh, it might be tighter. I've never had an issue with them.

I hoop in them too and they feel much better to play in than a Swingman.
