Most San Antonio Spurs fans don't want to give Chet Holmgren much credit, but the reality is that he is a very good basketball player. This season, he averaged 17.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks. He is one of the best floor-spacers and rim protectors in the league and is expected to be a perennial All-Star.

However, Victor Wembanyama does not like him, which means the Spurs' fanbase doesn't like him. Wemby and Holmgren are rivals dating back to the 2019 U18 FIBA World Cup, and Wembanyama has gone out of his way to celebrate Holmgren's mishaps ever since.

After his first All-Star season, Thunder fans expected Homgren to be a force in the postseason. Instead, against the Spurs in the Conference Finals, he's averaging just 11.3 points and often looks scared to get involved on offense.

After the Spurs won Game 4, the Thunder were at a loss for words, but they know Holmgren needs to be more involved.

After Game 4, where Holmgren scored only ten points and made as many shots as turnovers, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was asked how to get Holmgren more involved.

His response? 14 seconds of stammering and silence before finally offering a half-baked answer.

"Chet's an easy target to find," said SGA after his long pause. "So, probably just find him more in the dunker spot or when he's spacing. Just put him in better positions to use his strengths as an offensive talent. I don't know exactly what that looks like."

The Thunder's primary playmaker not knowing what it'll look like to get Holmgren involved points clearly to Wembanyama's tunnel vision when it comes to slowing down his rival. 

Often one of the best players on the floor, the Spurs have reduced Holmgren to a role-player at best, not a fringe superstar.

"We went to him a little bit at different times," added head coach Mark Daigneault. "But I just thought the overall, the global approach offensively tonight didn't benefit anybody. It was more of a five-man issue. And again, San Antonio is playing really good defense, a combination of us not being as sharp as we could have been and San Antonio being really good. But I don't know what I could have called tonight that would have changed it. It was more of a global approach, slash San Antonio."

In Game 4, the Spurs held the Thunder to just 83 points. Clearly, their defense was off the charts, but when it comes to Holmgren, things are just a bit more personal.
