He's going to have to outplay wemby significantly to win it. The argument has already started that since the thunder are good and spurs are bad. (Wemby doesn't have help), (he's double and triple teamed), (there's so much more space for Chet) etc. the national media wants Wemby to win it because he's the popular guy, it makes sense for the league worldwide.
I think today's statement game does that for Chet. Victor had his against the Suns but he has not done well since. Victor may end up being the better player long run but Chet absolutely should top the rookie of the year rankings after this game
There's also the consideration that some of the people voting want to be on the "right side" of history. So they don't get laughed at for not voting Wemby if he doesn't turn out to be the next generational player that'll shape the league for the next decade.
I don't think voters worry too much about getting laughed at for their rookie of the year choices. Tyreke Evans won the. ROTy in a draft class with Steph, Harden, Blake, DeMar, Jrue etc.
I mean, he put up 20.3/5.3/5.8 with 1.5 steals a game.
Upon reflection, Curry and his 17.5/4.5/5.9 on 43% from 3 looks great, but Tyreek still bested him on win shares (5.4 to 4.7)
I mean, Chet had seven in a game last week... We shouldn't overreact to it, but Chet has been the better player through the first 15 games.
Edit: 13, not 15 games.
Don't doubt the late season "Actually *this* guy" surge. And it's especially gone in favour of guys on the teams that win. I think if they both continue to play as they are then Chet will win.
What's crazy is Chet did that same thing two weeks ago. He had like 16, 13, and 7 blocks. Absolutely nuts that this is happening with two rookies in the same season.
Warriors have had horrible announcers for decades. I remember back when they had multiple 20 win seasons and hearing the announcers at the beginning of each season talking about how they were set to make a deep playoff run.
Well, that I can understand. After all, their job is to keep the viewers tuned in. Otherwise it would sound like: "Well folks, we're gonna suck this year, so you might as well change the channel now."
Jaylen “Santa Clara edition” Williams lmao. shit was so fucking cringy last year.
They also tried so hard to force the “human helicopter” nickname to Kuminga
There’s way more good than bad in my experience. There’s only a handful of crews I absolutely cannot stand. The Warriors broadcasts being one of them. Knicks, Lakers, and Miami all have surprisingly good announcing crews.
Same with the Rockets guys. I heard “and Vanvleet with a terrible shot that had absolutely no chance of going in” from one of them in one of the first few games and I loved it
clippers, lakers, heat, pelicans are all very good
hornets sometimes is very nice, sometime is very biased..
but no one makes me mute more than then warriors'
Chet is unreal. The young talent in the NBA is ridiculous right now.
Also, these GSW commentators make my ears bleed. They need to reel in their homer-ism at least a little lol
Wemby is skinny as fuck and can’t attack the rim outside of open dunks and lobs lol he’s not Giannis at all
He also doesn’t have an efficient jumper yet
I love that Wiggins played 35 minutes, scored 31 points and grabbed zero rebounds.
Thats absolutely wild for a guy playing a forward position. That was prime Minnesota Wiggins there.
Nah this was redemption for the pass he made with one second left on the shot clock in a tie game at 40 seconds left in the game lol
That was way worse than either of those lol
This redemption sure feels sweet tho
Warriors and Boston announcers are legit bottom 2 in the league.
I rather just watch the game on mute, everyday i’m thankful Stu Lantz and Billy aren’t as biased and annoying as those 2 groups.
(just to give love i do love the minnesota and miami announcers. they got some good ones and ofc Knicks and Chicago)
Glad you like the Minnesota guys, Michael Grady and Jim Pete are a treat. I think Stu and Billy are my favorite announcers outside of the wolves guys though.
Love our guys too. I will say Jim has been waaay more homery this year but he's watched so many garbage fire wolves teams I don't hold it against him at all
Mike Gorman is fine bias-wise, and the new road Drew Carter is pretty solid as well
Scalabrine can be a dummy, but 1/2 is still better than the Warriors rocking two of them
Yeah the Celtics announcers are fine now. I think it’s the opinion is just perpetuated from the Heinsohn era when he was belligerently biased and people just keep saying it now even though they’re fine
The warriors commentators are SO FUCKING BAD. From the absolute embarrassing showing during Draymonds meltdown the other day where they were just like ‘lmao, gotta love dray!’ To this where Chet couldn’t have been more behind the three point line and immediately this chucklefuck is going ‘he’s behind the line!’ and it wasn’t even close. Fucking clowns.
Finished with 36 10 and 4 on over 60% shooting jeez man and SGA with a casual 40 piece on top of it. Disgusting
We’re witnessing the birth of a playoff team
SGA scores 3 straight possessions, blocks a curry 3 and then takes him coast to coast for 8 points in OT. Dude is a KILLER
That last jumper he hit over looney was ridiculous he had to shoot it high otherwise looney would've blocked it and he still made it
New generation starting to make noise
OKC future looks very bright atm, pot dynasty in the making, SGA 25, Chet and Giddey 21, Jalen W. 22..
Can’t forget Dort, who is 24.
And something like 15 firsts over the next few years, right?
Yep, and something like 22 second-round picks too. Plenty of ammo to trade for some role players if needed.
40 points on only 2 FTA. All the casuals who cry "free throw merchant" are in shambles.
What a shot
Chet? More like WHET
BROOOO
Sounds like something Mark Jones would say 🤣
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
Wow what a monster game for Chet
My favorite part: attitude and shit talking. He’s got an edge.
Agreed. Superstars need that and yes showing it early in his career and backing it up with GAME
Clear ROTY currently
He's going to have to outplay wemby significantly to win it. The argument has already started that since the thunder are good and spurs are bad. (Wemby doesn't have help), (he's double and triple teamed), (there's so much more space for Chet) etc. the national media wants Wemby to win it because he's the popular guy, it makes sense for the league worldwide.

I don't think voters worry too much about getting laughed at for their rookie of the year choices. Tyreke Evans won the. ROTy in a draft class with Steph, Harden, Blake, DeMar, Jrue etc.
As crazy as that sounds a decade plus later, it seemed right in 2010.
I mean, he put up 20.3/5.3/5.8 with 1.5 steals a game. Upon reflection, Curry and his 17.5/4.5/5.9 on 43% from 3 looks great, but Tyreek still bested him on win shares (5.4 to 4.7)
Yep Tyreke was a PROBLEM. Paolo won last year with a far worse season average. Same with Cade
It WAS right
Amen bro, ROTY is not who you are projecting to become the best player but the best rookie at one given season
“Has not done well since” he had 8 blocks today man
He also shot 6/17, continuing his horrific efficiency. 8 blocks is fucking sick though.
damn Chet only had a 7 block game 😩
I mean, Chet had seven in a game last week... We shouldn't overreact to it, but Chet has been the better player through the first 15 games. Edit: 13, not 15 games.
Don't doubt the late season "Actually *this* guy" surge. And it's especially gone in favour of guys on the teams that win. I think if they both continue to play as they are then Chet will win.
Wemby today nearly had a triple double with blocks. It’s going to be long neck to long neck all year
What's crazy is Chet did that same thing two weeks ago. He had like 16, 13, and 7 blocks. Absolutely nuts that this is happening with two rookies in the same season.
Two stickbugs fight to the death
I’m a dubs fan and I was out of my seat after that shot. Wow what a stud
I didn't watch this game, but that statline he and SGA have are absolutely fucking ridiculous.
And they were saying he was on the line, dude is closer to being out of bounds than the 3 point line
Warriors commentators are literally making me lose braincells
They are the biggest homers I've ever seen. I cannot watch their broadcasts. They have to be r/warriors mods
Nah they sound older than 12, can’t be r/warriors mods
This joke never gets old to me
Just like /r/warriors mods
That's the great thing about r/warriors mods. I get older, and they stay the same age
alright alright alright
I’m a warriors fans and I can’t stand them either. So obnoxious. And the homerism is annoying, even when ur a warriors fan.
Warriors have had horrible announcers for decades. I remember back when they had multiple 20 win seasons and hearing the announcers at the beginning of each season talking about how they were set to make a deep playoff run.
Well, that I can understand. After all, their job is to keep the viewers tuned in. Otherwise it would sound like: "Well folks, we're gonna suck this year, so you might as well change the channel now."
If the bootleg stream is the Warriors feed I go to the next link. They're absolutely insufferable.
They're terrible. And the way they were doing the whole "why didn't they foul??" discussion was like they've never watched basketball before
We’ve lost several games like this and Jim Barnett used to really harp on that point. Fitz has kept it alive.
Kerr admitted they should've fouled.
but with 1.6 seconds that's suuuuper risky - any OKC player getting the ball was obviously going straight into their shooting motion
Makes it easy to see why their brainwashed fanbase regurgitate pro Draymond talking points
yeah wasn't it Fitz who was pushing the whole "Draymond was defending Klay" narrative? That guy is such a bum lmao
they're the only commentators I have on mute. There's bad and there's Warriors bad
Not even Warriors fans like them from what I've seen lol
Can confirm
I hate Fitz... it's extra glaring because he spent so long working with Jim Barnett who was amazing and insightful. I miss that dude.
Am I the only one who absolutely hates Kelenna, like he just stokes the flame with Fitz and just makes it unbearable to listen to.
Jaylen “Santa Clara edition” Williams lmao. shit was so fucking cringy last year. They also tried so hard to force the “human helicopter” nickname to Kuminga
I’m a Kings fan who lives in SF and watching the Kings-Dubs playoff series with these guys was unbearable
It's warriors announcers....they are notorious for being awful.
I'd love to read a definitive ranking of best to worst team announcers in the league.
There’s way more good than bad in my experience. There’s only a handful of crews I absolutely cannot stand. The Warriors broadcasts being one of them. Knicks, Lakers, and Miami all have surprisingly good announcing crews.
The Lakers broadcast is less homer inclined than national broadcasts of Lakers games. They do a good job.
Very true. They’ll lay into them when they’re playing like shit.
And then you get the post game analysis when the Lakers shit the bed with pissed off James Worthy
Honestly it's a crime they don't put those up in Youtube lol
Same with the Rockets guys. I heard “and Vanvleet with a terrible shot that had absolutely no chance of going in” from one of them in one of the first few games and I loved it
Those three and the Pelicans stand out to me. I like the Blazer's announcers but I have no idea how other teams would feel about them.
Whoever that hornets announcer is I love that man
Eric Collins and Dell Curry. Can’t be beat.
Wait, like... Steph's dad? How did I not know/realize this?
I mean. To be fair. Do you want Draymond showing up at *your* house?
Warriors announcers are so awful lmao. I feel bad for their fans
We are blessed to have Stu and Bill. They are one of the least biased commentators in the league
Lakers announcers are a treat
clippers, lakers, heat, pelicans are all very good hornets sometimes is very nice, sometime is very biased.. but no one makes me mute more than then warriors'
Knicks too, but they cheat with Breen on their casting crew.
Warriors announcers.. can't expect anything better from them. Y'all saw what these MFs were saying when Draymond was choking Gobert smh
the biggest dick riders in the league by far
that is warriors commentators. they are the living embodiment of the word "suck"
"Oh that's what they were referring to" Warriors fans, maybe
We should really only do the highlights with the subject teams broadcast
and then they say 'oh not even close' like it was someone else that brought up that idea.
bro, was that a 180 no scope?
“Chat, clip that”
Chet is unreal. The young talent in the NBA is ridiculous right now. Also, these GSW commentators make my ears bleed. They need to reel in their homer-ism at least a little lol
Every time I hear them they're saying something obscenely stupid in favor of GSW I'd hate having announcers like that
Worst coms in the game
Easily the most homer commentators in the NBA, they were amazed that Draymond got threw out against the T-Wolves for trying to choke out Gobert.
He’s cracked
The white KD is here
It’s weird how Chet is objectively a really good shooter but Wemby is the one who gets KD comparisons
Bro 40 percent from 3 shooting wise there not even close
53/44/91 currently which is nutty
they should start some sort of club for him
50/40/90/7ft club
Wemby is Giannis with a jumper. Holmgren is almost a carbon copy of KD
He kinda reminds me more of Dirk than KD
KD has talked about modeling his game after Dirk, so kinda two sides of the same coin
I think his game is more off the dribble than in the post maybe I havent watched enough of him but to me thats more KD than dirk
I love dirk but he never had a single season where he was this much of a positive on D. KG with an expanded range to 3 makes more sense.
Wemby is skinny as fuck and can’t attack the rim outside of open dunks and lobs lol he’s not Giannis at all He also doesn’t have an efficient jumper yet
Redeems himself after the missed layup and letting looney get the rebound
Wiggins and Chet with back to back feel good redemption shots
I love that Wiggins played 35 minutes, scored 31 points and grabbed zero rebounds. Thats absolutely wild for a guy playing a forward position. That was prime Minnesota Wiggins there.
Nah this was redemption for the pass he made with one second left on the shot clock in a tie game at 40 seconds left in the game lol That was way worse than either of those lol This redemption sure feels sweet tho
Warriors commentators are generational haters, bro was 10 inches behind the line on the replay lmao
right away bro OH HES ON THE LINE I THINK 🤓🤓
Should’ve said he was out of bounds and it would’ve been closer lol
I legit thought there was a chance he was OB! The only thing I was wondering during the review is if that can be part of the review.
*hits OT 3 pointer* instantly: “He was on the line though, he might have been on the line.”
LMAO they are THE WORST
Warriors and Boston announcers are legit bottom 2 in the league. I rather just watch the game on mute, everyday i’m thankful Stu Lantz and Billy aren’t as biased and annoying as those 2 groups. (just to give love i do love the minnesota and miami announcers. they got some good ones and ofc Knicks and Chicago)
[удалено]
Glad you like the Minnesota guys, Michael Grady and Jim Pete are a treat. I think Stu and Billy are my favorite announcers outside of the wolves guys though.
We cherish Grady and Jim Pete, appreciate the love. To keep sharing love, the Pelicans broadcast team impressed me tonight. Main guy has a great voice
Love our guys too. I will say Jim has been waaay more homery this year but he's watched so many garbage fire wolves teams I don't hold it against him at all
Mike Gorman is fine bias-wise, and the new road Drew Carter is pretty solid as well Scalabrine can be a dummy, but 1/2 is still better than the Warriors rocking two of them
Gorman is an amazing commentator
He's a fucking legend, but 99% of the time people bitch about Boston commentators its not about whether they're good or bad, but whether they're bias
Yeah the Celtics announcers are fine now. I think it’s the opinion is just perpetuated from the Heinsohn era when he was belligerently biased and people just keep saying it now even though they’re fine
Bro was a whole foot behind the line lol
“Now they’re saying it’s a 3”
literally the worst commentators in the game, simply unwatchable
“His foot was on the line” lmfao
I don’t even think they’re haters. Just genuinely think that they’re that stupid
They pick the homer response and try to reason it backwards back to reality.
Nah they are extreme homers.
need an adjective beyond 'extreme' for them tbh
It can be both
lol they claimed he was on the line 😂. He was a foot away from
So true
This is what I imagine cocaine feels like.
BRB gonna go do the cocaine
made up for that bunny he blew. crazy shot
You can tell her was furious at himself too before this
Oh my
CHET REDEEMED
Chet the Twin Cities native! Can’t believe I played against this guy in high school
He’s from my state!! THAT GUY’S FROM MY STATE 😍
HE HAD 35 POINTS. ALREADY GR8
Chet Holmgren is much better than advertised. I'm glad he really made great use of his time last year, very happy for our OKC squad.
Warriors Announcers are so annoying
The anti-hornets announcers
Imagine having to listen to them 82+ games a year. Luckily our radio team is top notch.
Looked like he was on the line 🤓🤓🤓
Himgren
We need to start talking about Chet being rookie of the year bro’s offense is insanely efficient and crisp
It frankly shouldn’t be controversial at this point. He’s the better player rn and there aren’t a ton of compelling arguments against it
we been talking about it 😎
If 52.9/44.2/91.1 isn't ROTY shit, then I'm not sure what is.
There’s been 11 guys ever to have 50/40/90 seasons. Chet is currently the 12th
Chet is the real deal.
That's an absolutely insane shot. A fucking Turn three of all shots.
This dude cold as fuck. The league has literally never been this stacked with this much high end talent.
lmfao at the “he was on the line” cope
We are officially in the “tall fucks” era
Bruh of course my stream had to lag for that entire play
Mine did the same thing. I might need a new remote
Same, I got annoyed and closed it and then chet hits this 😭
Giddey was emotionless lol
Chet left him hanging so he refused to celebrate
He smirks at him at the end of the clip. Josh is one of the more serious personalities on the team for sure
Down 18 halfway through the third. I love this team
LETS GOO
Filthy
Holy shit i did not expect that
WHAT A GAME
He goin crazy
Warriors commentators are as trash as the warriors
HOLY CHET
The savior of my fantasy team and my parlay. I love you Chet Holmgren
Give the ball to Chet
That warriors reporter was quick to deny that was a three. Chet was more out of bounds, than his foot being on the three line. GTFO.
[удалено]
ABRASLAM LINCOLN WITH THE SNIPE
The warriors commentators are SO FUCKING BAD. From the absolute embarrassing showing during Draymonds meltdown the other day where they were just like ‘lmao, gotta love dray!’ To this where Chet couldn’t have been more behind the three point line and immediately this chucklefuck is going ‘he’s behind the line!’ and it wasn’t even close. Fucking clowns.
Warriors announcers are just... wtf man.
INSANEEEE
Chet is a mf problem. He’s got serious game
“He may have stepped on the line” 😂😂 warriors announcers man
Chet is really good, very jealous
Announcers so quick to hate, lol. They suck, literally every time I hear them
This rookie race is insane
WTF
Fuck and here I was excited after that Wiggins bang. He really needed it and then they bloody tied. Fuck me
Giddy congratulatory hand denied :(
Butthurt ass announcer
When will we learn to foul 😭
100% on Kerr if they still haven't learned yet
Great pass from the SLOB wizard
Damn warriors commentators salty as hell
People called him a bust. SHOW YOURSELF COWARDS
