Online roasts erupt after Chet Holmgren sits in pivotal Game 7 as Thunder bow out

Oklahoma City’s title defense ended in a Game 7 loss to San Antonio, with Chet Holmgren delivering a 4-point, 4-rebound, 1-for-2 shooting night in 33 minutes before being benched late in the fourth; he didn’t play the final stretch until 4:26 and left for good at 1:23. Social media lit up with ridicule as Holmgren failed to contain Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, while backup Jaylin Williams outperformed him in spots. The 24-year-old rookie also faced scrutiny after signing a massive $239.3 million, five-year extension, underscoring expectations after an All-Star, All-NBA regular season performance as the Thunder were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals.
