With Jalen Brunson & Wemby scoring under 72 total points in the 1st 2 games of their NBA Finals debut
Shai Gilgeous Alexander still holds the record for most points scored in the 1st 2 games of an NBA Finals debut
Alex Caruso on the Spurs:
“There’s nothing that needs to be solved. We could’ve won the game tonight. You would’ve been asking them the same thing. I don’t think there’s this narrative that this is a bugaboo. We should’ve played better and won the game and been in the NBA Finals. They’re a good team, they’re young. We’ll both probably be around for a while. But we’ve gotta get better and try and win next time.”

Draymond Green says sports media fu*king sucks:
“No one talks basketball anymore. But no one knows basketball anymore because the sh*t is just moving too fast. Huh? Everything’s moving too fast. And so we want to pinpoint the thing that we can slow down. Shai falling. Shai at the free throw line. Everybody’s complaining about Shai getting too many foul calls. And going into game 6, Shai had shot five more free throws on the series than Wemby. But the whole complaint is Shai getting too many foul calls. I don’t understand it.”

Draymond Green:
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if SGA is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”

All the SGA slander has become corny. He finished fourth in free throw attempts per game on a team that was 17th. He's as close to a throwback player as you get: a (mostly) inside the three-point line scorer who can beat you a bunch of ways. He gets calls, yes. Gets fouled, too.
