I agree those 2 are dirty plays. I don’t agree that refs are deliberately targeting Wemby for arm holding. It happens all the time in the course of a game - the arm holding, the grabbing the tugging. Most of the time you don’t notice it because you are watching the ball, not where the hands are. This happens on every possession everytime a ball goes up in the air. Don’t watch the ball, watch the hands and you’ll see it. Half the time refs will let it go if they think both are doing the grabbing, half the time they don’t see it because actions are shielded by the bodies. I just don’t agree with special treatment that people are asking to treat Wemby with. He’s a big man, playing a big man’s game. He better be ready to play like a big man. He is a physical freak being that tall with that kind of athleticism and agility and dexterity, he can outplay most bigs but he is skinny as heck, and physicality is his kryptonite. He’s got his natural gifts he can easily outplay the bigger guys. Why handcuff them too where their advantage is.

Wemby is a HUGE problem for the league. With the players Spurs got, this team along with OKC will dominate the league the next 10-15 years. I am NOT going to sit here and listen to Wemby fans ask for special treatment for Wemby that further handicap the rest of the league. It is akin to billionaires asking for more tax breaks. It’s enough.
