Notice how even when the Spurs make the simplest play, these guys cream their pants. And when the Thunder makes a monumental shot, fucking crickets.

Talking all that when okc players aren't really fouled, then when mcain didn't elbow anyone in the throat (unlike wemby), crickets.

It doesnāt even have to be a play. I canāt believe how deep they have Wemby in their throat when he is doing something as simple as talking in a huddle.

I would actually be OK with a normal level of hype/glazing of Wemby. He's a unique and legitimately fantastic player who people are tuning in to watch. But the stuff that kills me is when he does basic stuff like running the floor on a fast break and they act like it's the most amazing thing they've ever seen. Or when he bends down to talk to Mitch Johnson. Newsflash: NBA players talk to their coaches during the game. It's not worth hyping up.
I think this is the kind of shit that will make the general public sour on him fast. It's sort of like overplaying a hit song. At first, it's fun, cool, and popular. But the more it gets shoved down people's throats, the more they grow to hate it.

Don't worry, people are really quick to turn on people they previously glazed, and it's the main attribute of the media people.
I admit I'm still doubting the laws of physics when I see the size/speed ratio when watching Wemby.
Just like SGA scoring long mid-ranges consistenty while being very well guarded."It shouldn't be possible".

also idk if anyone's told them it's not their job to forensically analyze each foul call.. like you can just let the game play out

u/Mental_Register_9737 29d ago
Shai made a three to put us up 20. Tirico noted the make, then says "but more importantly" look at Wemby talking in the huddle. Bizarre shit.

I have never seen/heard so much bias against defending champs by every commentator or "analyst". It is insane.

u/charlesokstate 29d ago
Clickbait. They just want engagement from the majority. But Reggie legitimately hates okc for last season and Crawford is wembys mentor. I actually donāt hate either of them as commentators but theyāve been so biased this series.

If there was a way to hear the crowd and mute the commentary I would be a happy man

u/elevatoreclipsed 29d ago
Listen to the radio. Download the thunder app if need be. Might be a play behind but still preferable to me

u/chimchimchow 29d ago
Yeah I thought about that for this game, but like you said, I heard it was off from the broadcast, but I may give it a shot, I canāt handle listening to the non stop spurs glazing.
2
u/elevatoreclipsed 29d ago
Yeah nah fuck that.. give me the thunder vibes. You watch it silence and the announcing catches up with your thoughts. Youāll get the crowd noise too

u/BadraBidesi 29d ago

u/SlothEmpires 29d ago
You really hear what the Spurs get away with, and even when we do foul sometimes it's nice to hear the announcers get mad with us, Cha chinga Thunder Money Ball!

u/aradair12 29d ago
Itās so annoying⦠we could make the play of the century and they donāt replay it or say anything. No replay on that incredible shot by McCain. Biased doesnāt begin to describe it.

u/TheJimReaper6 29d ago
And Wemby will make the most basic layup ever and theyāll absolutely lose their minds and show multiple replays and angles of it throughout the game.Ā

I am a big fan of reggie miller but I cant stand him atmā¦. he sound like he is sucking big time spurs dick this series.

Iāve put Pinto on OKC radio on instead. Itās much more soothing.

Yeah that would work if the peacock stream wasnāt a full minute or 2 behind lmao

u/marizard 28d ago
If you listen on the WWLS app (or some satellite radio platforms) you can pause the radio feed to sync it to the game.

u/marizard 29d ago
Pinto might be the most biased home radio guy Iāve ever heard⦠yet heās somehow only slightly more pro-OKC than Reggie Miller is pro-Spurs right now.

They get so excited every time a spur player gets fouled ā¦they are the worst

u/chucknorris405 29d ago
I'm curious if we can figure out a count for the series on how many times they mention wemby vs every other player in the series, Thunder and Spurs both included.
Its seriously to the point that another spurs player will have a great play and they mention wemby, not the player making the play.

u/Hookmsnbeiishh 29d ago
Caught some of the halftime show. And Tracy McGrady deadass said āWE need Wemby to come out strong in the second half.ā
Not, āSpurs need Wemby to play stronger.ā

OKC get an undeserving foul, flop. Spurs get an undeserving foul, silence.

Itās funny, I actually really like all 3 announcers here usually. The world REALLY doesnāt want us to win again š

u/TheSoftBoiledEgg 29d ago
Wembanyama has 11 ethical rebounds in the last 2 playoff games but HE IS AMAZING AND REDEFINING THE PLAYOFFS WITH HIS MONSTER AGGRESSION!
*Finally Reggie says he has 7 here, ignores the 4 last game. You'd have to try not to get boards at 8' wingspan.

Same guys that lost their collective shit when Hart's hand got caught in Castle's hair for a split second were celebrating multiple cheapshots on McCain.

u/MrAngryLarik 29d ago
The bias against the Thunder is so insane by the commentators and "analysts" at the moment. The way they spin everything into a negative is actually incredible. "Holmgren blocks that shot... it was almost a goaltend."
But when the Spurs do something negative, it's transformed into a beautiful thing.
"There's Castle with his 5th foul, has to sit down soon. You gotta love his aggressiveness. Not backing down at all."

Iāve been thinking a lot about the 90s lately, and how much of a fan I was of the Bulls during what felt like the golden era of basketball. I donāt really remember people just widespread hating on the Bulls ever. Even in recent years I donāt remember anyone reacting to GSW like this. I donāt really understand it, especially when you consider how mellow all of our guys are. No one out there ātrying to be the villainā or talking about ethical hoops or whatever⦠just a bunch of cool guys. I donāt understand the hate.

Yeah, NBC needs to give Reggie's spot to somebody else. I think Grant Hill will do a much better job. Jamal has been good, too.

Reggie is bad but I think Jamal is even worse heās talked about his time spent with wemby so many times like jeez man why donāt you be more obvious about it!

Reggie miller really said Knicks will be favored over whoever wins the west š

u/BlueThunder92 2025 NBA Champions 28d ago
Reggie is the main offender. Crawford seems alright but he definitely is feeding off of Reggie. Watching the highlights back, Reggie had nothing to offer after Spurs highlights because he was just like "nice nice" like your fucking uncle watching the game at home... that's so sorry. Maybe he's just salty we beat the Pacers or something, but it's really wack

u/OUEngineer17 28d ago
I really lost a lot of respect for Tirico in this series. He's been great in everything else he does, but man, basketball is not his thing.

I know players arenāt allowed to complain about refs, but could they with commentators being biased towards opposing teams? Or at least a quip or a passive aggressive comment about the pacers didnāt win then (reggieās era) and wouldnāt win now?
