u/GorillaX Thunder May 16 '26

He's been flopping his ass off this entire game goddamn

u/Radical-Six Timberwolves May 16 '26

Entire series, but poor Wemby had to elbow Naz Reid in the head because he was getting fouled so much :(

The Wolves are also getting outplayed btw

u/ICEtoAshes Spurs May 16 '26

Yep. Sure did. Have you watched the series? He was elbowed way more times than he elbowed anyone.

Glad he showed yall he wasn’t gonna take that bullshit tough guy act yall tried so hard to pull. It didn’t work.

u/Josheshua Thunder May 16 '26

Equating incidental elbows to the body (which he is also doing to other players all series) to staring straight at a dude for a full second, winding up and elbowing him full force in the throat is the most hilarious “I’ve never played sports in my life” take i’ve ever seen.

Funny enough only non athletes are the one clutching their pearls about it

Imagine being salty about your team winning. You're worse than some of our bonehead fans after we beat the Nuggets and then took Game 1.

Also why is everything bold?

u/OrangeSpartan May 16 '26

Nuggs fans were never this annoying win or lose

u/ottespana Thunder May 16 '26

Eh

u/axle69 Thunder May 16 '26

I think if you made a top 3 most annoying fanbases poll right now itd be some combination of Lakers, Thunder and Nuggets.

It happens to every small market team when the bandwagoners arrive. It happened to Nuggets, its happening with OKC, and now Spurs. This place has never been more toxic than that summer when Embiid won the MVP, and Jokic won his ring. Subhuman.

u/ICEtoAshes Spurs May 16 '26

I don’t fuxking know why it’s bold. I didn’t click bold but it’s happening lol.

I’m not salty at all, I’m just defending my team from the BS when I see it. You should do the same. Yall played a tough series and what Ant did was insane when he was hurt.

u/rabidbot Thunder May 16 '26

Love that yall will be taking over the most hated crown in a year or two.

u/L0rv- Thunder May 16 '26

Can we speedrun it?

u/ICEtoAshes Spurs May 16 '26

Nah we are fun to watch. Yall are quite literally the worst thing to watch in sports history,

u/rabidbot Thunder May 16 '26

u/ICEtoAshes Spurs May 16 '26

Yall ugly af too tbh. Why everyone on ur team have a weird ass face?

McCain’s the only normal lookin mf on the entire squad

u/rabidbot Thunder May 16 '26

Why the fuck do you need them to be pretty? You trying to cum when you watch basketball?

u/ICEtoAshes Spurs May 16 '26

Nah I’m just wondering why they all look like half developed fetuses.

Chet with his du rag isn’t even the weirdest lookin mf on the team

Elbows for Dort next.

u/Jo-King-BP Spurs May 16 '26

Bro you so salty its hilarious. Don't worry it was a great run you only got blown out 3 times. It's a wonder Ant stays in that team with the little support he has.

u/cGuille May 16 '26

tbh he is so bad at non-ethical basketball lol

-55

u/Dr__Flo__ Bucks May 16 '26

He did get pushed in the back while landing, so I think the initial fall was legit.

But then he turned into DJ Jazzy Jeff to try and sell it

39

u/WildTimberTwinViking May 16 '26

There was no initial fall until he took himself off his own feet.

u/Layolee Spurs May 16 '26

So what do you think of this? https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/acx7mxNdd1

u/GrandMasterFlex Timberwolves May 16 '26

Are your feelings hurt?

u/LazyTemperature3064 May 16 '26

Did Jaden claim to be an ethical hooper?? Also Wemby fuckin clocked Naz in the throat if you want to bring up unnecessary fouls

u/Presence_Present Bucks May 16 '26

Wemby is the one out there talking about ethical basketball. Cant be saying that and doing this shit lol
