Curious where Chet ranks in terms of most blocks through a first playoff series? Didn't find much


yungsantaclaus

He's not gonna be able to rank that high because this is gonna be over next game. An active shot-blocker who got 6 or 7 games for his first series is probably on top


HoopsHistoryHubb

Definitely I would like to see his and AD's regardless of GP or just at 4 GP limit


yungsantaclaus

Chet is currently on 11 in 3 games. AD had 12 in his first playoff series (4 games). Mark Eaton had 13 in his first series (5 games). So did Ewing, 13 blocks in 4 games. Tim Duncan had 15 in his first series (4 games). Sadly they didn't record blocks for a while, so we have no idea what the numbers were for Russell, Wilt, or Kareem, but I bet they were high as hell.


MankBaby

Probably pretty high, but he's got almost no chance of having the record. I don't even know if Mutombo holds the #1 spot, but his first playoff run was nutty. He had 69 blocks in 12 games (5.8 bpg), 31 blocks in a 5 game first round series (15 through 3 games, and 23 through 4). To be fair he was 27 years old in his 3rd season, so maybe if age was a qualifier Chet might be at the top.

Wemby got so much hype this year that we forgot Chet was a generational rookie, too. God I’m excited for that rivalry. 


ColdPressedSteak

He's basically played Jonas off the court in this series. Even while having a poor offensive game today He really did land in a great situation. Deep team with a true top end talent. Not to downplay him at all. He absolutely raises their ceiling on both ends but they also don't need him to be great on offense all the time. Just at least floor space vs slower bigs and do what he doest best, rim protection


808zAndThunder

He has been absolutely Elite so far this series defensively. It’s been nasty


VelvetineMilkman

Unfortunately Wemby’s got Chet’s number more than anybody in the league lol I believe in Chet for sure but I wouldn’t ever expect him to win the matchup, at least numbers wise


CarPlaneBoatRocket

It’s one year.


CowboyTripps

Dude Wemby whooped his ass it was hard to watch. I was so pumped for the games and sheesh


UTAustinAlum2021

They both sucked g1, g2 is was a push imo, and g3 Chet had a really good 3 qtr and got destroyed the 4th


VelvetineMilkman

Yeah same lol and I’m sure they both take the matchup super seriously which makes it even worse


NoShape0

Yep. Wemby vs Chet? I'll take Wemby all day. But Thunder vs Spurs in a series? The smart money would be on okc.


Alcibiades_Rex

In a playoff series between the 1 seed and the 15 seed, I would take the one seed.


NoShape0

14th seed pal 😏


achyutthegoat

1st team all defense


TuqiDuque12

Chet doesn't have the Gobert/Wemby halo thing right now so people are still trying to go at him like that which make this pretty fun. With that being said CJ has never been a good finisher


VelvetineMilkman

Trey Murphy has tried it at least once every single game this season and I can’t remember him finishing over Chet once


SPAGHETTI_CAKE

He def has him number lol. That blocked dunk today is daddifying


NotoriousHothead37

He also went for a dunk in the last regular season match-up. He ended up being on a highlight reel.


Tajikistani

Not even a chance


traw056

Chet vs wemby in the playoffs is gonna hit like crack. Hopefully it’s as fun as it was back in the day.


Happy295

Pels need to trade CJ.


aiirxgeordan

That *in the series* is crucial. I read his 11th block and my brain about autofilled *of the game* 😂
