Michael Wilbon says the Spurs played sustain stretch of the dumbest basketball he’s ever seen:
“I’m going to give you one stat, they go 14 for 26 on threes in the first half. They built this enormous lead on three point shooting but they have to know they can’t sustain that. And I remember turning to Stephen A. At one point and saying, I get this huge lead but it’s not sustainable. They thought it was sustainable because in the second half they missed 14 of 17 threes but here’s the stat, of those 17 threes 12 of them came with 10 seconds or more on the 24 second shot clock, and of those 12 threes came with 10 seconds or more they went 1 for 12.”
The Spurs did a lot of dumbass things to lose that game
1. Why is Wemby playin 44 minutes when you're dominating the game like that?
2. Why was Castle in the game late in the 2nd quarter up 25+ with 2 fouls?
3. Why is Keldon Johnson ever on the court?
4. Why would Fox take that layup?
5. Why would Fox foul Alvarado with 5 seconds left instead of saving your foul to give until after the timeout?
6. Why are you in the penalty for the last EIGHT minutes of the basketball game and not telling your players to attack the rim?
7. WHY IS DYLAN HARPER NOT GETTING THE BALL DOWN THE STRETCH?
8. Again, why is Keldon Johnson ever seeing the court?
Respect to the Knicks… but San Antonio is losing the finals themselves.
Game 1: Blew a 14 point lead in 3rd
Game 2: Bad turnover with 8 seconds left
Game 3: Won
Game 4: Blew a 29 point lead
This has to be the biggest playoff choke of all time.
📊 Building an All-NFC East offense using average PFN Impact grades over the last 3 seasons:
QB: Jalen Hurts, PHI - 83.9
RB: Saquon Barkley, PHI - 72.9
WR: CeeDee Lamb, DAL - 86.7
WR: George Pickens, DAL - 83.4
WR: DeVonta Smith, PHI - 82.3
TE: Dallas Goedert, PHI - 81.2
OT: Jordan Mailata, PHI - 90.8
OG: Tyler Smith, DAL - 88.0
C: Cooper Beebe, DAL - 86.4
OG: Tyler Booker, DAL - 88.4
OT: Lane Johnson, PHI - 84.7
Tbh... What's left for Jalen to "prove" he's just cementing his legacy at this point. I pray he balls out next year because I've never seen a winner get this treatment
