Refs got him out of the game immediately after this. This is the DPOY idec, scored 8 points but we were a +19 in his minutes vs okc with him as the only starter on our roster.
SGA was running from him all game.

Ausar Thompson steals the ball from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Kevin Huerter with the fastbreak dunk at the other end, and Ausar gets fouled out after he fouls SGA, with 1:53 minutes remaining in regulation (with replays)
English
@TheMiSF68386871 @mc142609 Caruso, Dort, and Cason would foul out every game if they were reffed fairly, and those are OKC’s three “best” perimeter defenders.
English
@TheMiSF68386871 @mc142609 No shit. If the refs called it fairly, most of the OKC players would foul out every game.
English
@mc142609 He got away with a lot of no calls. He likes to swipe down on the ball and the refs let him get away with it when he doesn't get the ball. If they start calling it he will be in foul trouble more often
English
@av_anisha22 @MrBuckBuckNBA And how many times did he push off with his off arm in this clip?
English
@MrBuckBuckNBA And out of all of these, I would like for people to show me which ones aren’t fouls lol
English
All the 16 times Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got fouled last night, in the 114-110 OT win against the Detroit Pistons.
SGA went 21/25 (84.0%) from the free throw line (+another miss, but ref stopped the game prior - did not count)
Including 4 fouls he committed (2 defensive fouls, two offensive), and one no call.
Overall SGA finished with 47 points on 12/19 FG (63.2%), 2/3 from 3, 21/25 FT (84.0%), alongside 5 Rebounds (2 Off. Rebs), 5 Assists (4 TOV), 2 Steals, 4 PF, and a +/- of +8 in 40:32 minutes played.

@xstrap24 I think Wemby is one of the few dominant regular season defenders whose defense actually becomes even more valuable in the playoffs (relatively) and I just don’t believe the competition (LAL, HOU, PHX, or LAC) is good enough to effectively expose the roster’s weaknesses
English
@SarksDaddy @Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 Also, no one is saying Wemby has better gravity than Steph Curry, nobody in history has better gravity than Steph. I’m just saying that using assist numbers to undermine Wemby’s impact and act like his gravity is fake is stupid. Wemby is the greatest lob threat ever after all.
English
@LobDunk @Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 That’s not ppl saying they’d rather give up a wide open layup over wemby shooting a 3. Every 7”5 guy is going to generate gravity
English
They are gonna give Wemby MVP when @rudygobert27 did the exact same thing in 2021 and was wildly disrespected by fans. Maybe Rudy should ve gone to the podium to cry like a bitch that his DPOY impact should give him MVP as well 🫠
English
@SarksDaddy @Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 I literally posted stats showing that almost everyone on the Spurs team gets a boost in efficiency when Wemby is on the court, and that the Spurs generate the most corner threes with him. Do you think it’s a coincidence? It’s crazy how MVP odds make people lie on Wemby’s name.
English
@SarksDaddy @Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 How many players over 7 feet are in the NBA right now, and how many of them have Wemby’s gravity? Gobert is the second most impactful defender after Wemby, yet he’s also one of the worst offensive players. I wonder why he doesn’t have the same gravity...
English
@SarksDaddy @Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 And Wemby’s gravity is helping the Spurs generate the most corner threes ever.

Jason Timpf@_JasonLT
Fun fact: Wemby's roll gravity is helping the Spurs generate the most corner threes EVER in the HISTORY of NBA basketball!
English
@LobDunk @Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 🤣🤣man Steph had ppl giving his teammates wide open LAYUPS 🤣🤣🤣 do you know what kinda gravity you got if a team rather give your teammates layups so you can’t shoot a 3
English
@Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 Curry won MVP over Harden in 2015 while averaging under 24 PPG btw. The only reason he wasn’t eligible for MVP anymore (2017-2019) was that he played with KD during those years.
English
@joaburner @rudygobert27 They mentioning “Wemby gravity” and these same ass clowns vouched MVP for Harden and Russ over Steph💀
English
@SarksDaddy @Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 What kind of logic is this? Steph has had the highest gravity EVER since Kerr took over the team, and he mostly averaged 5–6 APG each year as a PG.
English
@Oakclifftroop @joaburner @rudygobert27 Created a fake stat 🤣 all that gravity and only got 3 assists per game
English
@LuKai_Goated @spurs_four Also, Lakers are 6-6 without Luka, but they were 4-1 at one point. Only 2 of those losses had both Reaves and Bron out there, and I think Reaves was still coming off the bench after just getting back from injury.
English
@LuKai_Goated @spurs_four 8 of those games were against teams that rank among the worst 10 in net rating. Also this
English
Unfortunately Wemby doesn’t have the luxury of a team that has a contender level net rating with him off the court unlike SGA so we’ll see
#ihatepra #lesspra@POAdefenseFC
Spurs got the mvp, unanimous dpoy, bitw, beat okc 4-1 and the 1 seed. They should win it all this yr
English
@ThereGoesJordan @HoneyCorn12 @bThreat69 @Bnicklow33 @Everett_G07 He’s a pretty good floor raiser who plays no defense in the East. He’s good enough to make it into the play-in, but if you surround him with great teams, his ceiling wouldn’t be anywhere near as high as when you surround guys like Steph or Luka with a great team.
English
@LobDunk @HoneyCorn12 @bThreat69 @Bnicklow33 @Everett_G07 Just took some of the worse rosters in the league to the playoffs multiple time…
The single person defense excuse is the laziest excuse in the world.
English
Was……Young holding this team back?? Don’t come for me. lol Just a genuine question .
Hoop Central@TheHoopCentral
THE ATLANTA HAWKS ARE NOW 14–1 OVER THE LAST 15 GAMES. 🔥🔥🔥
English
@spurs_four TBF, with Chet, I feel like it’s all mental, and Wemby somehow always takes his matchups with Chet really personally.
English
I don’t think yall realize how good Chet actually is, especially on defense lol. The Wemby comps have made him overly disrespected. Caleb Wilson will consider himself lucky if he’s as good as Chet early in his career.
Real Talk@realtalkejlt
Caleb Wilson will be to Wemby what y’all hoped and prayed Chet would be
English
@HoneyCorn12 @ThereGoesJordan @bThreat69 @Bnicklow33 @Everett_G07 They’re decent to solid if you compare them to Shai. You can win if you surround Steph or Luka with great defenders, but with Trae, you can’t do that, and one fluke run where the competition was weak wouldn’t change it.
English
@ThereGoesJordan @bThreat69 @Bnicklow33 @Everett_G07 Trae wishes he could defend at Steph’s level, but sadly he’s by far the worst defender in the NBA.
English
@LobDunk @bThreat69 @Bnicklow33 @Everett_G07 There was no truth in that whole statement.
“Steph has always been an above average defender” is how you started it too. 😂😂😂😂😂
English
English
English
@HoneyCorn12 @ThereGoesJordan @bThreat69 @Bnicklow33 @Everett_G07 I agree they need great defenders around him, but I don’t think you can do the same with Trae, and one fluke run wouldn’t change my opinion. Steph and Luka are good team defenders who know how to play the passing lanes, etc. Trae is terrible at everything defensively.
English
@LobDunk @ThereGoesJordan @bThreat69 @Bnicklow33 @Everett_G07 Either way they are both dudes who get cooked matched up against another star without constant help from great defenders. They win games with their offense and you limit their flaws on the other side with supporting cast.Hawks were buildin towards that but injuries got in the way
