how is he concussed from hitting his chin?

I'm starting to think you don't understand how concussions work.

 

[100%Duncan]

ok but what is the argument for not playing olynik? he's gonna get bodied by clingan? he's not scoring enough? come on...

Have you seen him? He’s washed. Thats why Plumlee was signed. And he turned out even worse.

This is so asinine, bro. Wemby makes every other big man look slow and retarded with his speed, footwork, and touch. That's why everyone puts much smaller players on him that try to displace him and basically, try to make him afraid he's going to trip or pick up an offensive foul doing simple things like a swing through because their chest is at his nuts. The problem is, this is going to cause him to be hurt. That's my practical take of the situation; the League needs to decide if they're ok with that (or him being a jumpshooter like Dirk despite having elite-tier athleticism that will bring a lot of $$$ in from casualfan).

So wemby is so good the nba needs to cheat for him? Or he could learn to play basketball?

Why can’t Luke Kornet play Duncan like minutes when Wemby is out? Like just play all the way to 2min left in the 3rd quarter then comeback with 9 or 8 minutes to close the game. So we only have to deal with small ball for 5 minutes max

Because that would require Mitch to deviate from his precious rotations tbh

Biggest issue so far this series outside the Wemby concussion and Scoot looking like Jordan has been Timelord tbh. Need to find a way to counter his impact now that the Spurs will most likely be down to Kornet.

I raise you Olynyk, Biyombo and Plumlee tbh

Worse part of pop he inherited, he benched fox midway in the 3rd after he hit 3 shots in a row

how is he concussed from hitting his chin?

Basically when your head is in motion and stops moving suddenly, the brain impacts the inside of your skull, which is what causes a concussion.

Not too concerned about Wemby coming back right away. We have Castle, Fox and Harper and that's the best in the league. No worries.

Sending Olynyk out to work his dirty magic might not be the worst thing tbh.

I’m feeling a little better now after taking my mind off it for a bit. I think the most frustrating and disheartening thing is that our guys didn’t take advantage of a pedestrian game by Avdija. He’ll be back next game and I don’t think he’ll suck in front of his home crowd

This. Guy has nothing to lose and pretty soon, the whole team might not either.

After reading through X

None of the players or coaches has seen Wemby so far. So not sure whats the seriousness…

But optimism is there that its not a long term…

What if he’s back on the court wandering aimlessly? Thatd probably be a bad sign tbh

Might need to resort to that tbh. Dont like it but Portland did talk about roughing Wemby up.

Fuck is Fox on dude. YOU are next up. That’s why you’re paid the big bucks and not the 8th man.
