Last time I checked their defensive rating was in the low 90s, like 92 or something, which is nuts. Small sample size of games, but damn, they've got it on lock
Yes. Im a okc fan. The headlines will of course be "Chet outplays Wemby 1 on 1!". It's not a wrong title at all technically he did. However, this game was a battle of coach adjustments and assignments. I believe Billy D is a really introspective coach who sees things others coaches don't... Pop is not one of those coaches, hence al the adjustments done this game. This could very well be the smartes coaches in the league imo
This game is going to be studied in A LOT of film rooms by opposing teams who are preparing to play the Spurs this season. Amazing analysis as always, dude.
Every nba team is using the same strategy on wemby since last year. Sometimes it works. If you remember in November last year against OKC, wemby scored only 8 points and OKC destroyed spurs by 20. Like that game , you’ll forget this game in January when Wemby destroys Chet and OKC again.
I think this is the game that will be looked at as the defining moment of Wemby’s career…. The Spurs vs the warriors shows how the team adjusted to small ball lineups… they figured out this strategy and have countered. The more recent video on the spurs shows how (both videos are great!). Wemby ain’t gonna wait till the offense is set and bang in the middle, he plays defense, follows the team up the court, forces the opposing big to contest his three or pay…. Thus opening the driving lanes for easy offense…. And yes, he will be driving with the rest of them. Perhaps not this season, but very soon it’s gonna be a top tier offense. CP3 is just so damn good!
Once Wemby gets legitimate spacing around him he'll thrive, Chet is on one of the top 3 teams in the league. Wemby is on one of the top 5 worst teams in the league talent-wise..
No shooters around Wemby, of course they can just collapse on him. Wemby was making good reads but his teammates keep turning wide open 3s into bricks.
It's really that simple, ofc Wemby was a little off that game, didn't take that many shots, handle and athleticism/strength could be better but given the coverage he was getting..... Essentially the standards are for him to be in God-mode in his sophomore season lol. Not to mention apparently he is battling some sickness atm, no excuses just the reality Keen to see the reverse fixture. Honestly expected from OKC, they are running through everyone again this season
@@kwakumadridista1916 people are upset because they set the expectation that Wemby is going to be the next Lebron. Honestly, I don't mind if Wemby won't turn out to be a GOAT level type of player, as long as he can make the Spurs a championship team and be in the same breath as prime Tim Duncan was, that's good enough for a Spurs fan like me.
Everyone is talking about how poorly their team played against OKC, but no one wants to admit that OKC is simply the better team. Maybe they’re reluctant to accept that a team like OKC could tear down, rebuild so quickly, and already be back in title contention. Shoutout to Sam Presti for making it happen.
Great breakdown. I've watched every Wemby game in his NBA career and no team have ever attacked Wemby like that and I've never seen Wemby that frustrated. This was his lowest scoring and FG's. OKC is a great defensive team. The glaring issue is until Vassell comes back from injury, Wemby has no consistent shooters around him. I'm watching him 1 day after this game on a back-to-back and Wemby has 17 at the half. Yesterday was an eye opener. OKC shut him down fr.
fr strong physical guards is Victor's kryptonite but could've been mitigated if the spurs shot better at the 3p line. this is why basketball is a team game
Let’s not act like Victor has played well all season. He has struggled as teams have put smaller wings on him this whole year. Even the 5 by 5 tonight wasn’t that spectacular in my opinion
@@D3liveringChaos A 5x5 is one of the most impressive stat lines you can have. There are 3 (!) players in NBA history who have 2 or more and only Wemby and Hakeem have 2 25+ points 5x5 games. Wemby has played 76 games in the NBA. He is 20 years old, of course he will struggle. He isn't used to all that dirty veteran tricks yet they do in the NBA. But he is mature and a hard worker. Watch him develop and put more muscle on his frame over the next years. He is going to be him..
When I first saw Homlgren, I thought he was one of those random circus freaks you get in the NBA every now and then. I didn't think he could survive in the league with his toothpick frame, and when he missed his entire first season I thought I had been proven right. Then he finally started playing and I was flabbergasted by his mobility, motor and physicality. Chet is deceptively strong and balanced for his build, and he relishes playing hard on both ends. Turns out you really shouldn't judge a book by its appearance. As for Wenbanyama....he's ludicrously talented, but he's got a very languid style of play that sometimes becomes outright passive. Its early days yet, but I can't help but be concerned that being hailed as the 2nd coming so young has led to him becoming a bit complacent.
same thing as I did. I saw Chet and thought "another shawn bradley et al" (not to punch a guy when he's down) and just like you I thought that first season was more proof of the same a la greg oden. but as I watched this kid his work ethic and toughness have amazed me. I watch people rake and claw at him mercilessly and instead of complaining all the time he just toughens up. I have so much respect for that and the progress he has made!!
Also something to note this game was one of SGAs worst offensive performances this year too. If he played avg or better stat line game would've been a blowout
The youngest team in the NBA isn't supposed to be able to play defense like this, right? When they get all players back and get used to playign with each other, this will be the most fun team to watch in the NBA. I should say, it will still be the most fun team to watch in the NBA.

Wemby not becoming an all star might actually be the most surprising thing this season if it was to happen... This nga just needs to drive more, bro would average like 15 fts, i know he can do it all, but he doesnt need to be shooting this much.
I’ve watched all but one of the Spurs’ games this season, and something I’ve noticed is he’s been getting ripped A LOT when he puts it on the deck. I agree that he needs to get to the basket more. He just needs to figure out how to do it without turning the ball over.
OKC putting people on notice this year. Last year was just a taste of what they are truly capable of on both ends. AC and IHart are huge pieces to fill holes of need and there is not a weak link on the entire roster.
OKC has a cheat code. Chet is better equipped to defend Wemby when you compare with personnel to most other teams. Add in the coaching, the schemes, and the perimeter defensive tenacity, this was definitely within the range of possible outcomes.
Rightfully so, he had easily the best rookie season when taking in both sides of the ball. Most players have a sophomore slump but its reasonable to think he wouldnt and a couple bad games doesn't mean he will struggle for the whole season.
@@carl4243 Is it going to translate in winning? Let me know when that happens. Otherwise, it looks like a guy who is just physically gifted enough to get a bunch of hollow numbers on a bad team.
Ive watched all 5 spurs games and this is exactly how teams are gameplanning him. Put a smaller wing/guard on him and keep him shoved out of the paint. They love him taking alot of 3s and not getting easy lobs/tip ins
They're implementing the same strategy that the rockets used against Wemby by having Dillon Brooks on him, Brooks had 5 steals on Wemby doing this last season
If I'm a Spurs fan I don't want to make the playoffs for another couple of years. Wemby needs help and time to grow as a player, draft picks are worth a lot more nowadays.
@@KennyTheAlchemistNo it’s Wemby. At some point he has to command the action which is done by setting screens and putting his shoulder down. If he can’t post up he needs to use his gravity to swing that shit

These triple teams gotta stop! 😭 There's a couple plays where Victor got quadruple teamed last season, this is getting ridiculous, he basically has to play off-ball most of the time because when he catches the ball or dribbles it he gets swormed. Of course he's got to adapt and he's done that, wracking up assists, but that's bullying sometimes.
The issue is thoughout history, having a record as bad as the Spurs results in development stagnation for star players. Losing a lot is not a long-term strategy because it leads to bad basketball decisions and habits.
Jordan tenacity, willingness to do whatever he has to do on both sides of the floor to win… his ability in the clutch and supreme athleticism. With Steph Curry’s shot and handles In LBJ’s body
We beat ourselves in this game, let's not forget Wemby carried his country in the Olympics the whole summer while Chet was on vacation it was expected.
Chet was not on vacation. He was in the gym working hard everyday preparing for the NBA season. It's paying off. Victor ain't tired from the Olympics at 20 years old. Had himself a real nice game last night, too. Okc is just better than the Spurs. And that's fine. They're better than most teams in the league.
Okc still have Isaiah Hartenstain and sign Malevy Leons “Rookie that was back to back DPOY” 6,10 F, the boy have goods % on FG and can score like a Big attacking the RIM. 🔥
SAS is still in brett brown mode. you enforce bball iq and reading defenses, by not implementing all kinds of intricate offensive schemes. yet I think 2 key trades next summer - and we will se a revamped offense. the spurs bench in hella smart, with pops leading the way and to be direct, so everyone gets it: this is the way (you develop young talent.) dont give them all the answers, lets them grow into it slowly. it will be painfull at times, but it is the only way we see if not 100 then 95 percent of wembys talent and potential actualized
It was inevitable. Everybody acting like Wemby is the new GOAT and it's only been one season for coaches to figure out how to stop him. I said last season - wait until next season, somebody will figure him out, he will be a good player but his only advantage is his height so he will be stopped.
I was at that game and frankly this was just extremely poor coaching from Pop. He should have been posting VW up all game long as well as Sochan but they put them both consistently on the perimeter making it easy for OKC to defend. You're not going to beat the Thunder playing small ball and trying to run with them yet that's what these first four teams tried to do.
If you're a foot taller than someone, have them posted up, the right read is NEVER to pass the ball. I don't care who is open. This guy hasn't been coached how to go to the basket. This guy camped out at the free throw line half of the year last year and Pop sat there just watching. Popovich has been phoning it in for a few years now. Wemby got punked last night. Instead of his coach telling him to play physical, or finding an action to get him the ball down low, he just pulled him out of the game. Wemby needs the Popovich that made Tony Parker cry. Instead he got the version of Popovich that makes Spurs fans cry. Narrative can only carry Wemby so far. At some point, he's going to need to develop his game to come anywhere close to meeting the hype.
Not sure why everybody was shitting on Wemby. That defense was TOUGH! 1 through 5 is a matchup. Only attempted 5 shots, and they were having a back-to-back the next day which limited his minutes a bit.
Wemby was coming off some sort of sickness the past 2 games if you watched his press conference you would see how sick he was. Look at his game today against the jazz you can see an improvement.
So draymond was right when he said at some point when you get to a certain hieght it can be a hinderance to your game but draymond a top 15 defender of all time was wrong
In all the years of watching Pops coach greatness,this is the worst coaching I ever seen him do. Basic fundamentals of coaching was to put Wemby on the block tell him to fight for position and demand the ball. Name one center in NBA History that's going allow a 6'3 player bully him out of the paint. It's embarrassing. It's time for Pops to stop coaching. He's lost it.
Idk if you watched the game or this video but all game webby was trying to get inside position. The thunder were just smothering him every time he tried to get in the paint and doubling him the second he touched the ball. Unfortunately wemby just isn't quite there physically to be able to consistently get past those smaller but stronger wings
if he did get passed a gaurd he had chet waiting for him in the paint. every team is going to shut down wemby like this. houston did it with brooks and now okc
The world is slowly realizing that Wemby’s ROTY last season was a big mistake. Chet is a winner and Wemby is a loser. This won’t change until they retire from basketball.
if only those shots would fall. it would be a completely different game. Wemby needs shooters. Spurs should've held on to Chip. Look at the Thunder now.
If Chet had this kind of gameplan against him , he would be a bum. Wemby has every coach in the league trying this and it rarely works like in this instance. This really shows how much more of a game changer Wemby is than Chet. you have to make your whole gameplan to limit him. Chet is an afterthought from his teammates
lol. You Team Wemby fans are like LBJ die-hardship when talking about MJ. Chet is far from an “afterthought” with his teammates. That’s stupid when you look and see he is avg 23, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks a game. That’s an absurd stat line. Your comment was stating you don’t know ball without saying you don’t know ball.
The true reason why the Thunder were able to shut down Victor Wembanyama are you ready? It’s gonna blow your mind. Because Victor Wembanyama was sick that’s why 😂
Thank God somebody is giving the thunder credit instead of asking what's wrong with wemby nothing thunder defense is elite
Yeah, it's like. "Why isn't Wemby dominating." I don't know, probably because he is playing against an entire team that entirely focuses on him
The Thunder are the better coached team with excellent schemes to exploit his weaknesses. Thats why Wemby was struggling
Right. All I saw on espn and others were talking about what Wemby can do instead of how good the thunder defended him
Best defense in the League.
OKC was #1 last year too lets see if they dont choke in playoffs this year
OKC's defense looks elite on a level not seen in years, and IHart isn't even playing yet.

Rockets doing the same. Putting Brooks on him and making him a perimeter player
The issue is thoughout history, having a record as bad as the Spurs results in development stagnation for star players. Losing a lot is not a long-term strategy because it leads to bad basketball decisions and habits.
OKC better win now. Gonna be wemby’s league in 3 years
😭his passing game only gonna get better when he learns how to establish a post game
Fun hypothetical, what three offensive players all time would you ‘’fuse” to create the best offensive player all time, kinda like dragon ball
Jordan tenacity, willingness to do whatever he has to do on both sides of the floor to win… his ability in the clutch and supreme athleticism.
With Steph Curry’s shot and handles
In LBJ’s body
We beat ourselves in this game, let's not forget Wemby carried his country in the Olympics the whole summer while Chet was on vacation it was expected.
Chet was not on vacation. He was in the gym working hard everyday preparing for the NBA season. It's paying off. Victor ain't tired from the Olympics at 20 years old. Had himself a real nice game last night, too. Okc is just better than the Spurs. And that's fine. They're better than most teams in the league.
Sohan is an offensive liability I get wanting to play him but damn
You can say that for most of our roster aside from Devin Vassell lol
Thunder UP!
Okc still have Isaiah Hartenstain and sign Malevy Leons “Rookie that was back to back DPOY” 6,10 F, the boy have goods % on FG and can score like a Big attacking the RIM. 🔥
SAS is still in brett brown mode. you enforce bball iq and reading defenses, by not implementing all kinds of intricate offensive schemes. yet
I think 2 key trades next summer - and we will se a revamped offense. the spurs bench in hella smart, with pops leading the way
and to be direct, so everyone gets it: this is the way (you develop young talent.) dont give them all the answers, lets them grow into it slowly. it will be painfull at times, but it is the only way we see if not 100 then 95 percent of wembys talent and potential actualized
I was so sad watchin this game ngl
Thunder is solid jeez
💯LETS JUST CALL THIS 1 A WARM UP GAME FOR WEMBY💪🏾🤣🤣
Wemby a decent passer
Yeah I noticed that too. Being taller than everyone gives him a bit of a boost in that area as well.
It was inevitable. Everybody acting like Wemby is the new GOAT and it's only been one season for coaches to figure out how to stop him. I said last season - wait until next season, somebody will figure him out, he will be a good player but his only advantage is his height so he will be stopped.
Wemby may never play for a team as good as he went against here. He will be fine.
I was at that game and frankly this was just extremely poor coaching from Pop. He should have been posting VW up all game long as well as Sochan but they put them both consistently on the perimeter making it easy for OKC to defend. You're not going to beat the Thunder playing small ball and trying to run with them yet that's what these first four teams tried to do.
No teams has ever scored over 95 against OKC this season, just to note.
If you're a foot taller than someone, have them posted up, the right read is NEVER to pass the ball. I don't care who is open. This guy hasn't been coached how to go to the basket. This guy camped out at the free throw line half of the year last year and Pop sat there just watching. Popovich has been phoning it in for a few years now. Wemby got punked last night. Instead of his coach telling him to play physical, or finding an action to get him the ball down low, he just pulled him out of the game. Wemby needs the Popovich that made Tony Parker cry. Instead he got the version of Popovich that makes Spurs fans cry. Narrative can only carry Wemby so far. At some point, he's going to need to develop his game to come anywhere close to meeting the hype.
Not sure why everybody was shitting on Wemby. That defense was TOUGH! 1 through 5 is a matchup.
Only attempted 5 shots, and they were having a back-to-back the next day which limited his minutes a bit.
Wemby was coming off some sort of sickness the past 2 games if you watched his press conference you would see how sick he was. Look at his game today against the jazz you can see an improvement.
So draymond was right when he said at some point when you get to a certain hieght it can be a hinderance to your game but draymond a top 15 defender of all time was wrong
In all the years of watching Pops coach greatness,this is the worst coaching I ever seen him do. Basic fundamentals of coaching was to put Wemby on the block tell him to fight for position and demand the ball. Name one center in NBA History that's going allow a 6'3 player bully him out of the paint. It's embarrassing. It's time for Pops to stop coaching. He's lost it.
Idk if you watched the game or this video but all game webby was trying to get inside position. The thunder were just smothering him every time he tried to get in the paint and doubling him the second he touched the ball. Unfortunately wemby just isn't quite there physically to be able to consistently get past those smaller but stronger wings
if he did get passed a gaurd he had chet waiting for him in the paint. every team is going to shut down wemby like this. houston did it with brooks and now okc
Imagine Wemby and Chet on OKC. League would be cooked af.
So essentially if the spurs were hitting the open looks be generated they wouldnt be able to double like that
The world is slowly realizing that Wemby’s ROTY last season was a big mistake. Chet is a winner and Wemby is a loser. This won’t change until they retire from basketball.
chet gives me the creeps
dope
Hand strength in the paint is not quite up to par yet.
Im not hating right but this is the first game and everybody is saying chet is better but why didn't i hear this last season then
if only those shots would fall. it would be a completely different game. Wemby needs shooters. Spurs should've held on to Chip. Look at the Thunder now.
you compare a playoff ready team and a lottery team. But if you put Wemby to OKC, its much better. Just sayin'
Im still going with Wemby
But yeah he was alone on this game
Difficult to a basketball team with only one big guy 😅
How are they allowed to just hold him in place? Wouldn't that be a foul after the "freedom of movement" rules?
If Chet had this kind of gameplan against him , he would be a bum. Wemby has every coach in the league trying this and it rarely works like in this instance. This really shows how much more of a game changer Wemby is than Chet. you have to make your whole gameplan to limit him. Chet is an afterthought from his teammates
lol. You Team Wemby fans are like LBJ die-hardship when talking about MJ.
Chet is far from an “afterthought” with his teammates. That’s stupid when you look and see he is avg 23, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks a game. That’s an absurd stat line.
Your comment was stating you don’t know ball without saying you don’t know ball.
You really think other coaches are just ignoring Chet??
cool
Mavs shut him down too
Great okc, but sochan, barnes and the other spurs are horrible, wemby can't do more than that
5 mins ago🔥🔥
Like Wemby wasn't playing well it was his worst game ever!
The real problem is that Spurs suck. It's just Wembanyama and grandpa CP3!
Victor looks like he can barely move, he's so slow 🐌
Copying the wolves strat against jokic last year
He’s too weak, he should be able to move Caruso out the way
Chet was right, it’s not Holgren vs wemby it’s OKC vs spurs. Wemby teammates failed him
The true reason why the Thunder were able to shut down Victor Wembanyama are you ready? It’s gonna blow your mind.
Because Victor Wembanyama was sick that’s why 😂
They cracked the code. Now if Wemby studies this and gets heavier he’ll be invincible. If a 6’3” player bodies you then you need to bulk up.
He’s not getting bodied they’re getting into is lower body idc how strong u is if I get lower than u u not moving me
Coaching malpractice IMO.
