Wemby dirty AF

[Gerry Hamilton]

Spurs took the ball out of Castle’s hands much more tonight than the previous two.

super smart adjustment. But hand may have been forced in reality 

Castle needs to be okay with the player he actually is, and go try to maximize that long term. It will actually make him a better player in the long run

Castle played well. Spurs guards in general did much better job of penetrating, which helped free Wemby on the roll. Biggest difference is that Wemby finally outplayed KAT, although only 8 rebounds is still rather anemic.

They took the ball out of his hands much more tonight. Fox was primary to close out game too 

That’s the way they need/have to play… Castle will be better if he’s not trying to always force and then turn it over as a primary too much of the time - just not who he is as a player. 

Castle will be at his best as a tough, strong mentality, hustle player that can attack from wing and make plays being around the ball off the ball.  If he isn’t trying to be a team runner decision maker a high % of the time, it will free him up to be the player he should be IMO

Biggest difference was Spurs didn’t turn the ball over last night, especially late to close out the game. 

Spurs had 8 TO’s last night. Great # against a quality opponent

16, with too many late in game two.

That certainly helped. I'm thinking that's a result of making sure Fox had the ball.

Shaq was the best player on the Lakers. 

He was the most dominant player in the NBA. 

The NBA changed the rules of defense because of Shaq. 

By the way, it was thirty years ago today that Kobe performed the most famous pre-draft workout in NBA history when he was 17 at the Inglewood YMCA. That evening, Jerry West invited Kobe to dinner at his house. Jerry's wife made Italian food for Kobe and Jerry promised Kobe that the Lakers would acquire him even if he had to trade the whole team while they listened to Soul and Inspiration by the Righteous Brothers.

Kareem threw the 1985 Western Conference Champion trophy in the laundry hamper. Kobe Bryant famously refused to celebrate or touch the Western Conference championship trophy during his career, setting a standard that only the final NBA championship mattered. He and the Los Angeles Lakers did not put on championship hats or shirts for winning the Western Conference Finals, choosing to remain stoic.

Rough  ight for the Knicks.  Wemby was insanely good.   Brunson in foul trouble…A real sore point for those that saw it live.   The sweep talk was dumb 

the Knicks were so fast in this game. 
 

the game was so late that I think some of the fans ran out of gas. 
 

I walked home and ran into a load of thugs.  It was not a good look for NYC. I have never seen so many fights and they were ripping jerseys off od SA fans.  Any interlopers were pummeled.

There will be some San Antonians out hunting for blood in the return trip. Sh!t is dumb.

Belt to @ss tonight! Bout to be a 3 game series

[f1revo]

I don't care if a coach is only 39, he should know with a 20+ point lead that you slow the pace of the game down and possess the ball.

Just when i thought i escaped seeing taylor swifts dumbass on the camera every five minutes during the NFL season here she is again.

I can’t believe I witnessed that. 

[f1revo]

Mitch needs to be tarmaced after that. Truly unbelievable. 

[hookem1014]

History was made tonight wow. That’s why coaches preach boxing out as the #1 rule even in the youth leagues. Also don’t understand why Fox went up for that layup

As like-able and generational Wemby is, he does not have the Luka killer instinct🤷🏼‍♂️not questioning Wemby’s game at all, but you have to step up and put the game on ice. Missing back to back fts in the clutch, zero buckets in the final minutes, no showed.  At least get the rebound, something, absolute no showed in crunch time. As like-able he is, can’t ignore it.

[CJ Vogel]

I saw Victor Wembenyama on the street after the game and asked him to break a dollar. He only gave me $.75 in return.  I asked him for the rest and he said," I don't have a fourth quarter."

Tough series for Wemby, but the Lakers would take Wemby in less than a second for Luka.

He lost game one, when he should have left Harper in at the end of the game.

Spurs will eventually learn Harper has to be the guy with the ball much more, and late. But it won't happen until next year IMO

Agreed it will have to be next year. What’s sad is the Spurs have lost all these games. It’s not like the Knicks won them.
