  1. Love it when Chet spreads my cheeks and fill them with happiness. He looks hungry and motivated 😊

  2. I think Chet has already worked out the optimal mix of taking 3s versus being a big inside. He's a different sort of shotblocking menace compared to Wemby, reminds me a lot of Andrew Bogut.

    Wemby has fallen in love with taking 3s as a primary option, rather than take them when you're open or to make the defense respect you (opening up lanes). I'm sure Wemby will work this out over time (with Popp in his ear).

  3. These ads are annoying. I wonder if Rumble has NBA content like this without having to see ads. If so, we should all switch over there.

  4. The scouters of okc are crazy. How many mvp calibre of players have they drafted already

  5. Chet and Wemby look TOO good. I hope they stay healthy. This is what I expected from Bol, but I no longer have faith on him.
