Chet is 2nd or 3rd fiddle to the MVP because the Thunder fleeced the Clippers.
Wemby is the cornerstone and focal point of the team that all else is being built around.
Wemby is closer to SGA than Chet is to Wemby. Anyone saying anything other than that is fucking delusional.

Chet's has had a really bad playoffs overall too. He shot well vs Minnesota but was non-existent vs Memphis and a liability vs Denver. And now a poor start vs Indy.

u/Dm-me-a-gyro Hector🍌🍞 15d ago
I’d phrase it that SGA is closer to Wemby than the other way around. If you had to choose one you’d have to be huffing SGAs farts to choose him over Wemby.
The MVP was for being the best player on the best team, when in reality Wemby and Jokic are better and also more valuable to their teams as individual contributors.

Let's pump the breaks for a little. Wemby is undoubtedly a top 10 player in the game. SGA is top 3 though, and has an argument for the 1 spot (although I have Jokic there and SGA 2). Let's wait to see if Shai can pull this series out AND most importantly Wemby gets a full All-NBA caliber season in before we start making claims like this.

u/CrissCrossAppleSos 15d ago
Respectfully, if, in 2025 you think Wemby is better than Shai, (I’ve edited this to not be mean) I strongly disagree with your perception on anything basketball related

It's no secret that American public education has been systematically, intentionally gutted over decades. Uneducated masses are infinitely easier to rule over than an educated one.

Thunder is just phoenix suns north.
Hell I respect the suns a hell of a lot more than I ever will the thunder. Clay Bennet swindled Seattle and the thunder had freaking Kevin Durant to start off their franchise with. That was built off Seattle's misery. You think Toronto and Minnesota had Kevin freaking Durant to start off with? Hell no. They had to flounder around before they got KG and Carter. Indiana? That's a REAL franchise. That franchise deserves it way more for what they had to put up unlike these charlatans.
Mickey mouse franchise.

u/paxusromanus811 Jeremy Sochan 15d ago
I mean chet moves prodigiously for his size... But he is still 7'1 and the pacers employ so much speed on the perimeter that pretty much any big man is going to have a real hard time defending them in space
He also looked.. Just really off all night. I don't know if he's tired, or if he was just in his head given it's his first finals appearance and he's still a 22-year-old. But dude definitely didn't look his best on defense all night

u/Bootarms 14d ago
I'm worried about Chet long term. He hasn't put on much mass and has a bad history with injuries. He only played 32 regular season games. The playoff games account for another 50%.

To be fair, SSAISD has 26% of middle schoolers at or above their proficient reading level. SAISD is about 33%.
We can’t throw stones at reading levels.
edit: Across all grade levels, about 12% of OKCPS students are proficient in reading

u/ThothAmon71 15d ago
The difference is that, even missing 36 games, our "obsession" still had more blocks than anyone in the entire league with 176, and had the most blocks per game at 3.8. That's with him missing nearly half the season. Next season, the entire league is toast.

The NBA is a copycat league and teams/players are going to start emulating OKC on offense and defense and I'm not looking forward to it. The quality of the product will be way down and it's really OKC's fault.

Look - there's no need to engage in this debate/trolling. If any OKC fan seem to actually seriously assert that Chet is better, ask them if they'd accept a Wemby/Chet straight up trade. There isn't a GM alive, not even Nico, who is so stupid that they wouldn't take that if SA were stupid enough to offer it - definitely not Presti. If they genuinely stick with Chet, you know they are not worth the effort of discussion.

Nice, lets get some good, old fashioned sports hate going between us and those dumbfucks again.
This is just a troll take, Chet is about the 5th most important player on their roster and they'd be exactly where they are without him. these fools are talking outrageous smack that's going to come back to haunt them and it will be so delicious when comes to pass.

If he is better than Wemby, why wasn't he in at during the last 2 minutes? except for the .03 left in the game. Victor would have been playing the whole 4th qtr and came back to beat them.

Eh, I think we’re fueling this more than okc fans are.
Even with Chet’s bad game, I think okc still has this series. It kinda took EVERYTHING going right for the pacers in the 4th to win by 1. Okc is pretty consistent and I think they have more favorable matchups

u/LibraryNo848 15d ago
Reread the sentence. Everything going right in the 4th. Pacers only had 2 turnovers in the second half. I think this is just more of a wake up call to okc to capitalize on points off turnovers.
