Wemby seems to be eager and motivated to matchup against Chet everytime. He seems to want it more. I know our boy is a champ but I just hate seeing him get punked everytime

  2. Wemby is taller, stronger, and faster. He’s on another level. Whole team is needed to beat him

  4. He needs to do the opposite. Stop going 1 on 1 when you see him and do what you do best, which is finishing off the ball handlers and scoring over mismatches.

  5. He also needs to figure out whatever mental thing he has with free throws at the end of games. He still looks scared to take them

  6. why do some thunder fans keep trying to push this matchup chet’s gonna get embarrassed every time like he always has

  9. I mean WTF is he supposed to do? Wemby is too big and too good there’s nothing anyone can do

  10. he needs to not care about it at all. this is a Russell/Wilt thing. Chet is not the physical freak Wemby is, and in a 1v1 individually there’s no comparison. but he is a better piece of a cohesive unit, with much more success than Wemby dating back to when they were teenagers. he should lean into just playing his game and let Wemby obsess over his feud

  11. after getting blocked on that iso in the first half, he should not be taking this matchup personally and play within the team

  13. The more Chet takes it personally the more iso into turnaround fadeaway blocks I have to watch. I’d rather bleach my eyeballs

  14. Chet is Wembys superbowl Chet doesn’t give a shit about Wemby. Wemby has this thing towards Chet for whatever reason.

  15. Chet is above average role player. Put him on a team without MVP,and another All-NBA player, will he be the best player on that team?

  18. wemby is better then chet, by a fair amount as well

    its gonna take the whole team to stop him

  19. Chet’s performances really hinge on his confidence level. He hit the first shot of the game, and it looked smooth. But he stopped getting the ball. I think if Shai is going to be more of a playmaker to start games, Chet needs to be his primary target.

    The Wemby block shook him a little, and his next shot was blocked too. He just looked rattled, and not getting the ball for long stretches when he’s rattled seems to make him force offense instead of taking his time like he has been lately.

  23. I disagree. Chet is not on Wemby’s level and shouldn’t try to play like it. Just play team ball like always, and when Wemby is on him he needs to realize he’s being defended by the best defender in the league and probably pass the ball instead of trying to get up a shot

  24. Not saying that Chet needs to do anything that would disrupt the team but he needs to toughen up more against Wemby. I get the Wemby is unguardable but I think that Chet’s body language is just different when he’s up against Wemby. Wemby clearly knows he has that mental edge over Chet.

  25. Wemby is the perfect counter to Chet tbf as he his too a lot players. He has the wingspan to counter Chet. It was also poor defensive scheme by okc. Why we got dub and ac guarding wemby and Chet guarding fox? Like what even is that. Chet doesn’t have the foot speed to check those guards. Pair that with poor game by SGA, dub and Chet, alongside SA playing great basketball, we would lose that for sure.

  27. Wemby has an edge that you can’t teach. I see the fire in dudes eyes like Kobe and Mike. It scares the shit out of me.

  30. Wemby audibly cheering every time Chet missed a free throw late would boil my blood if I was Chet. I’m sure it did knowing how competitive he is.

    It’s pretty obvious they have an unspoken competitive disdain for each other.

  34. Everyone gets punked. The kids a freak. We lose games when Shai is the only guy playing like a star. We need Dub or Chet to hit a few more shots down the stretch.

  36. This is just what happens when a great talent meets a once in a lifetime talent. As the saying goes there’s levels to this.

  37. 1 cherry picks game due to being unavailable majority of the season the other is trying to win as much as possible. Regardless when you have to beat us 4 times thats alot different ball game.. Just wait til April when the fun starts!

  38. i mean wemby is like half a foot taller than chet. your typical 7 footer has never had to play against someone THAT much taller than them, so of course it will take some adjusting and even realization that you can’t do certain things against a wemby.

    i think everyone knew chet was going to blocked on that ISO post move. the last move and gather took forever, so he had no chance at getting that off on wemby.

    chet will learn and find other ways to attack wemby, even if it means just spotting up to pull wemby out of the paint.

  40. Yall are so dumb sometimes, im gonna assume its a reddit thing. Wemby was blessed to be 7’5 and a skilled basketball player. Its mot his fault, play whos in front of you. If there was a league of 8 footers im sure him and chet would sign up, but thats not how it goes.

    This is was last year the first game OKC had against the Spurs. Chet did great shutting him down in fact Wemby had one if his worst games that day. Chet was really coming into his own until he got hurt it kind of messed up his momentum. I know Wemby is the better player but his attitude stinks (typical French guy) . You maybe better on paper but you don’t have the accolades Chet has and that’s WHAT REALLY BOTHERS HIM. If I was Chet the fact that he has to play these childish mind games means I bother him more than he bothers me 🤣🤣🤣. Let that be motivation to do better from here on out.
