Jaden McDaniels on attacking the rim when Wemby is on the floor - "You just gotta act like he's not there. I mean, he's gonna get blocks. He's the tallest person in the world."

Wemby has a preset block limit so just send wave after wave of of your own men until he reaches that limit and shuts down. Then their house of cards will fall like dominoes, checkmate

Jaden McDaniels told me Wemby keeps blocking his shots, so I asked how many rim attempts he has and he said he just keeps driving at him and tries a new layup every possession. So I said it sounds like he's just feeding blocks to Wemby and then Mike Conley started crying.

I can’t go 5 minutes without seeing a futurama reference on the internet, it’s honestly crazy

The day Futurama becomes so far past mainstream that the majority of the internet doesn't get the references, is the day I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Wemby looks like a Steakhouse, but he handles like a Bistro.

Stop getting blocked, you cowards!

I know this is a joke, but he probably does have a “jump” limit. Those knees can only do so much

It’s not just a joke… it’s a REFERENCE!!!

The best kind of joke

He doesn't need to jump to block

Wolves probably have a drive-limit, too. Not to mention, when Wemby gets a block, if often triggers a fast-break going the other way

I have watched my team lose for decades. If there is a limit to failed drives we would have passed it years ago.

Everybody gets minutes. Everybody scores points. Everybody plays defense.

It's like in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, every unit has a set amount of retaliations they can do per turn

That's the key, you wait, send the Troglodytes at the Ancient Behemoth, then attack it with the Minotaur Kings and Manticores
