I think Brunson is going to attack Wemby. I think okc didnโt attack him nearly enough and allowed Wemby to completely control the paint. In 48 mins he will eventually get in foul trouble if u fearlessly attack
It is crazy that SGA name getting dragged through mud. the kid has character, good father and family man. these dudes on national TV are just smearing his name like crazy. All for clicks.
This run is nowhere near Wade 2006, if that happened today. Wade may be in the same light.
Despite being w/out our 2nd and 3rd option, egregious free throw disparity, and unbelievably ignorant media/fans, OKC getting it done. Feels good to be the villain ๐
DeAaron Fox did this last series. Jalen Brunson does this almost EVERY GAME. Marcus Smart even did it against OKC
Ask yourself why only Jared McCain got 1m+ views
Spurs/Thunder might be the most interesting chess match between two coaching staffs in NBA history.
The constant battle between the Spurs trying to keep Wemby at the basket, and the Thunder adjusting their spacing in each game to get him out.
The Spurs trying to keep Shai away from the middle of the floor and out of the paint completely, while the Thunder change screening angles, floor alignments, etc. to get him space to operate.
Then in Game 4, the Spurs going away from doubles, and the Thunder finding a way to consistently force 2 on the ball in Game 5.
On the other side, the Spurs trying to get Wemby free in the paint on offense, and the Thunder doing everything in their power to push him to the perimeter.
Every game of this series has looked completely different. Itโs been a masterclass for anyone who cares about more than โfallingโ and ref discourse.
