2026 West Semifinals: (2) San Antonio Spurs Vs. (6) Minnesota Timberwolves

NBA going to send out a memo out? This happened in the first round too

 

So glad to see Minny win this game. NBA really needs to crack down on all the fouls/goaltendings that Wemby got away with.

 

They'll do that after the crack down on shai's flopping and on curry's offensive lineman holding.

 

Pretty hard to see in real time. I guess the refs aren’t used to the way (or speed) he blocks. Goaltending is purely objective and easy to detect by camera. The NBA needs to delegate that to AI cameras.

 

It wasn't hard to see in real time. On some it's kinda obvious to see a ball hit the backboard first.

 

It's super interesting to me that you see players/coaches speaking out against how much the refs favor wemby/shai. Nobody was really speaking out about the warriors stuff 10 years ago, i wonder if people have learned that they have to speak up? Or just the money with the warriors was so great for everyone that it was worth it to make sure they made as many finals as possible.

 

They didn't. Proven that only one was goaltending. If you do frame by frame on Edwards shot, Wemby hits the ball first before it hits the backboard, same thing with Randle. Gets top of his fingertips on the ball first on the Gobert play.

All clean fellas except for one (Shannon), I thought the same thing as y'all but no.

 

We can argue all we want if some of those blocks were clean or not, but it is now going to force the refs to do a better job of looking for it and not automatically assume that they are clean blocks simply because it is Wemby who is doing it.

 

Facts, but they got it right. Obviously (at least that game), they knew what they were looking at/for. I mean out of 12 blocks, they've only missed one (in real time), its a pretty good darn job by the refs.

I thought half of them were goaltends or fouls as well, but literally they weren't.

 

ESPN glazing Wembys 12 goaltends

 

Castle was right there and Stone passed to draft Macaulay Culkin…

 

it never feels like a playoff game when Doris Burke and this other dude are calling the game

 

Edward’s looking like JG when Warriors were blitzing and trapping him lol …or KD when Lakers Blitzed and doubled him

 

This is literally a free throw contest for one team. So many fouls
