Love this answer, same mindset I live my life based on 🤝

[Joey Linn @joeylinn_]

I didn’t see this posted anywhere, so I’m sharing it now. This is probably my favorite answer Russell Westbrook gave the other night.

Incredible perspective about focusing on the positive even amidst the negative.

[KnicksMuse @KnicksMuse]

Looks like the NBA wants a Game 6.

They ignore an obvious flagrant on Victor Wembanyama, which would him suspended 1 game.

[GoldenKnight @GoldenKnightGFX]

The way the league protects Wemby is actually crazy as hell

[Eric Hubbs @BarstoolHubbs]

Letter of the law flagrant foul. Such a joke

[Knicks Memes @KnicksMemes]

If I understand the rules correctly, this should be a Flagrant on Wemby

Would have prevented a Spurs 3 and given the Knicks about a six-point swing

Would also mean Wemby is suspended for Game 6.

Am I wrong?

[𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒆 🌩 @Three_Cone]

Yeah that should’ve been a landing spot foul against Wemby which would’ve been his last flagrant point for a suspension

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@sidm2202 @willsportz_ Sure but that’s a massive if and would require Portland to want Jaylen Brown when they already have a lead forward in Deni

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@JonnyRoccIt_ @DaveTheeGoliath @TheDunkCentral @nypost Hahahaha what is this victim mentality man? You realise the spurs fans could just buy the tickets as well? 😂

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@sidm2202 @willsportz_ Because they don’t have any picks. No point in being bad and Jaylen brown is a great building block to remaining competitive

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@TkachukFanAcc Brother if the spurs are down 3-1 to a “bad” team then what does that make them.

If they can’t execute well enough with double digit leads, they aren’t a good team.

[Anthony @omgitsbirdman]

you know whats crazy Fox should have done what JR did and JR should have done what Fox did

@Netswamp Clean block

[Elliot Steinmetz @elliotsteinmetz]

This Jalen shot is getting a lot of criticism. Here’s why I like it:

1. It’s our best guy in rhythm, with confidence. If we lose and he took the last shot on a clean look, it’s hard to second-guess.

2. Time and score. Down 1 with 5 seconds left your only chance for 2 scoring opportunities is a quick shot. He sees daylight and pulls. If he dribbles into a tough, contested jumper there is no second opportunity and it’s a lower percentage look.

3. The Double Team. He drew 2 and pulled before they got to him. It leaves the rebounding situation at a 4-3 Knicks advantage. But even more than that…

4. Wemby’s Positioning. Brunson has Wemby all the way outside the arc and makes him irrelevant for the rebound. The 4-3 rebounding advantage becomes even bigger when your only size is out guarding the smallest guy on the court.

It’s all about percentages and opportunities.

Brunson takes a clean look (albeit deep) 3, stepping into it - I like that shot. More importantly, he takes it with 4 seconds left, leaving enough time for a second shot if they can get a rebound or a tip. Boosting their percentage of success is the double team involving Wemby outside the arc, leaving the Spurs undermanned and undersized when OG comes flying through the lane uncontested.

Go Knicks.

[abdi 🇧🇷 🇵🇹 🇫🇷 🇨🇦 @abditmr]

y’all gave SGA 0 grace for going up against a t2 defense without his secondary ball handler/all NBA wing and his tertiary ball handler but when it comes to the future GOAT blame is deflected to Fox

[Carson Breber @Carsobi]

Dylan Harper has made 72 restricted-area FGs in these playoffs at a 67.2% clip.

That's the most restricted-area FGM by any PG in a single postseason since Russell Westbrook in 2014, who did so on 53.3% FG.

We're talking about a rookie here. Unfathomable driving talent.

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@zaviqueau @BigGlayzer00 @LegendOfWinning Take the Wemby tinted glasses off bro please. 11 missed shots in the 2nd. 7/14 of his shots were jumpers. Just a horrible shot diet. 24 points on 25 shots overall.

Wemby is awesome player, but putting his downright BAD game on Fox is ridiculous for a guy in BITW discussions.

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@zaviqueau @BigGlayzer00 @LegendOfWinning HAHAHAHA man sorry but if you can’t admit that Wemby was bad tonight then this discussion is pointless.

Yes role players need to be better but there’s no excuse for 3/14 and the role players didn’t make him miss two free throws in the clutch 😂

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

Hilarious that DeAaron Fox’s layup (horrible decision) has become the talking point when Wemby was downright horrid in that 2nd half.

3/14 from the field. -27 overall and missed two clutch free throws in a row.

If that was any other superstar the talk would be insane.

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@zaviqueau @BigGlayzer00 @LegendOfWinning For sure man. No one on the Spurs was good hahaha I don’t think anyone’s disagreeing with you.

Does that make Wemby’s performance good? Absolutely fkn not. Wemby shot awful pull up 3s and long two’s? Why does he get excused just because everyone else was bad as well? 😂

[BardockNBA ⚡️🇦🇺 @Bardock_NBA]

@zaviqueau @BigGlayzer00 @LegendOfWinning And he’s also part of the reason they ended up being down.

Wemby was terrible in the 2nd half man there’s no other way to describe it. 3/14 from the field. -27. And missed two free throws in a row in the clutch.

Not good enough at all from him.
