The NBA/Refs will make sure this is a 7 game series ... way too much $$$ on the line in this one 

Although if Harper is out and Fox can't go... it very well could catch up with SAS

predictable

My wife who hates basketball has started watching because of Wemby.  If he stays healthy he can be the next Jordan as far as viewers go.  He is likable and unreal to watch.  It doesnt make sense how he is able to move at that size.

Wemby is 1-9 for his career on go ahead FG’s in final 5 seconds of 4th Qtr or OT

He’ll likely improve on that as he gains more experience… probably in the 25% range. And has to!

A lot of the great players don’t hit as high% of game winners as many believe

look back at this study from a 5+ year stretch

https://82games.com/gamewinningshots.htm

Koby Bryant had this reputation as a clutch game winner type. 25% with only 1 assist during that time.

Great great player, but stats didn’t back up the reputation during this stretch. He attempted very difficult shots from long distance many times off balance to get cleanest look possible … not high % shots

Hitting 35% in those scenarios with enough attempts is top shelf … not many do it. Length of shot, toughness of shot etc…

Centers/bigs aren’t going to even be part of that convo unless is a big that can play on the perimeter and put ball on floor. Wemby is going to be an anomaly in that regard … if he gets to 25% over time … would be a first in history for a big man. Tough task, as it’s never been done before
