    If he was healthy, they wouldn’t have denied him DPOY and All NBA.

    I think the more likely explanation is that vets get calls that less established players just don't get. The refs are inconsistent.

    I really fucking wish people would just stop with the conspiracies. It's really fucking out of control and asinine.

    If the league pulled all of the shit that people on here accuse them of, there would have been a disgruntled ref that had come forward by now and hacked electronic communications of some kind but none of that shit has come out because it doesn't exist.

    It would be such a huge gamble for the league and the payoff just isn't enough to make any rational sense. By all means though, continue to believe in massive conspiracies that powerful people and organizations would have a lot to gain by outing instead of common sense shit like human bias that we know happens (we know refs give the established players more leeway when it comes to fouling or that extra half step before blowing a whistle).

    I don’t know. KAT hit the big shots and Detroit didn’t. Cade had an easy midrange shot for the win and he missed it. And THJ should’ve drained the shot instead of trying to draw contact. I don’t want a game like that decided at the FT line.

    It was a foul. Should have been at the line. Hart got away with another one before that.

    He didn't play. He was busy playing soccer.

    What are you talking about? If Wemby was healthy, Spurs would’ve played him.

    If he had played 65 games, he would’ve been DPOY and All NBA.

    Except he's been playing pickup soccer games in Costa Rica. I posted the video a couple days ago.

    He's fine.

    Those things don't matter. He wants championships. That comes from loading up in the draft.

    They absolutely matter. Team wouldn’t have denied him those honors. And Playoffs this year would’ve been more valuable than a shot at top 4 pick.

    San Antonio and Wemby disagree with you.

    SAS and Wemby are doing just fine. They will also add a top young talent in the draft. Gonna be a beast of a team soon enough. Wemby, imho, was shut down to facilitate the tank and not risk injuries in a season where they would struggle to get to the second round.

    You don’t know that. I don’t either so there’s no reason to argue.

    Wemby’s condition is serious. Not some made up ankle soreness.

    All available evidence points to that being the case.
