The big X factor in Utah and Keyonte George's success going forward is Key's defense. If he stays bad at it, we will have the ceiling of this year's Cleveland Cavaliers team.

[James Hansen @hansenjames]

How are there still people that don’t understand how good Key was last season??? He is not coming off the bench lol

Sochan intel and knowledge of the spurs playbook gonna be their demise 🧡💙🧡💙

[Utah Jazz | 犹他爵士 @JazzPressSec]

How did Shamet figure this out?? Is this scripted and he caught on watching film or he did he hear their bench?

If this is just something the Spurs have scripted to run after FTs in the clutch, they need to call an audible. It's not like they can't hear Shamet yelling this out.

[Coach Gibson Pyper @HalfCourtHoops]

Elite communication from Shamet and the rest of the Knicks on the court.

Calls out the Spurs play "Pistol" (Normal Hammer Play), then proceeds to blow it up on the weakside.

@HalfCourtHoops How tf does he know though? The Spurs are shooting FTs, it's not like they're set up in any way for him to tell. Did he overhear lol?

Who pissed off Jalen Brunson at the end of Game 1?

[Utah Jazz | 犹他爵士 @JazzPressSec]

This is kind of what I was saying, they just don't actually run any sets or plays for Wemby, which is why I feel like some of the criticism he's received for poor offensive play is a little misplaced.

[NBA Base @TheNBABase]

Jeremy Lin heavily criticized Mitch Johnson and the Spurs’ fourth-quarter offense in Game 1, questioning the heavy reliance on Wemby isolations and the team's rotation choices:

"The focus for sure is the second half where they were minus-17, but specifically even in the fourth quarter, I didn't love the late-game offensive game plan. It was too much Wemby ISO. It just seemed like everything was difficult, everything was hard, everything was contested. Can we get him in more spontaneous, impulsive actions? Can we get him in some pin-downs? Can he set more screens? Can guards come set screens for him? It felt like every time down the floor they were giving him the ball, and KAT was doing a great job of playing defense, and Wemby was tired. So how are they able to create different actions so that the Knicks aren't seeing the same thing every single time? Another piece that's really important is Keldon Johnson, who played only eight minutes. Sixth Man of the Year, a lot of minutes went to Harrison Barnes. I'm not sure what's happening there, but there is going to be a different level of production that needs to be had from other players stepping in. Dylan Harper obviously had an amazing game, but we need the Keldon Johnsons and obviously De'Aaron Fox to be able to step up. I do think there's a lot to be said for in terms of how big that moment was for the Spurs."

KAT OUT WORKING KELDON

[Utah Jazz | 犹他爵士 @JazzPressSec]

I think that's mostly on Castle. The Fox hate is overblown btw. The end of the 2nd quarter, and Game 7 in the WCF was probably what made the Spurs want to have Fox out there in the clutch.

[𝓕 🪄 @Fiizop]

Fox was bad but we saw 30 TOs when Harper and Castle had to lead

[six ppl in the room told prez @_prezidente]

KAT is so gifted he makes ppl think 7 footers driving at the speed of guards is a thing most seven footers should be able to do

[Ten000Hours @DevInTheLab]

The weight advantage KAT and Robinson have is bothering Wemby

[Art Cummings @ArtTakesNote]

Jalen Brunson is up 1-0 in the NBA Finals against Victor Wembanyama and I got people telling me that Keyonte George isn’t a key piece for the Utah Jazz.

Get out of my face man.

[Utah Jazz | 犹他爵士 @JazzPressSec]

Btw I don't want to say it, but this was an overall not that poorly officiated game.

[Utah Jazz | 犹他爵士 @JazzPressSec]

I also feel like Spurs don't actually run plays specifically designed for him, though. For some reason, Wemby is always having to initiate his own offense.

[Nate Jones @JonesOnTheNBA]

Wemby is still a baby deer on offense. He has no rhyme or reason for what he does on offense. It’s not calculated or refined.

[Utah Jazz | 犹他爵士 @JazzPressSec]

I don't think I've ever seen any other player but Brunson make such a high percentage of those layups that he does where his release point is nowhere close to the basket. But somehow it just goes way high off the basket and in.

[Utah Jazz | 犹他爵士 @JazzPressSec]

Whatever that play is that the Knicks ran at the end of the 3rd is diabolical
