@calebjsaenz It was funny how when the Spurs rapidly got in the penalty in the 4Q, Breen and RJ were gearing up to complain about every call… then they’d show the replay and it’d be the most obvious foul.
Dylan Harper’s NBA Finals stats off the bench:
14.7 points
7.7 rebounds
2.7 assists
The Spurs’ No. 2 overall pick looks ready to take a massive leap next season.
The Warriors could pursue Anthony Davis to strengthen their pitch for LeBron James.
In a Bleacher Report mock trade by Zach Buckley, Golden State acquires Davis while the Wizards receive Jimmy Butler III, the No. 11 pick, and a 2030 first-round pick swap.
What did Michael Jordan think about 3-point shooting?
“My 3-point shooting is something that I don’t want to excel at, because it takes away from all phases of my game. My game is a fake, drive to the hole, penetrate, dish off, dunk, whatever, and when you have that mentality, as I found out in the first game, of making threes, you don’t go to the hole as much. You go to the 3-point line and you start sitting there waiting for someone to find you. And that’s not my mentality, and I don’t want to create that because it takes away from my other parts of my game.”
Game 3 adjustment
Stop doubling Brunson like he's Curry, Spurs are giving up way too many open threes to ELITE three point shooters from those high doubles
Make Brunson score 1-on-1, he's shooting 33% from the field, Spurs are giving him way too much respect as a scorer
Jeff Teague says he thinks De'Aaron Fox has got so much disrespect that it’s hindered his game:
“Like how aggressive he is. Because if you look at him, what he was 8 for 12? 20 points. You could tell he taking his foot off the gas a little bit and letting other people do things. And that’s cool. I’ve been there before as an NBA player. You hear the noise, the outside noise, and. It affects you a little bit. Like you just want to do enough so people get off like it wasn’t me. You know what I mean? Like sh*t and to be the person and player that we know he can be like he was one of the best 4th quarter players in the NBA for years.”

If I’m Wembanyama, I’m making one call, with one question. The call is to Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The question is “can you teach me the sky hook?” It would be impossible to block.
The Spurs are outscoring the Knicks by 15.3 points per 100 possessions when Dylan Harper shares the court with Victor Wembanyama.
Needing to win three of the next four to force a Game 7 in the NBA Finals, it’s time to bench De’Aaron Fox in favor of Wembanyama’s long-term option.
This was also San Antonio's second-worst FG percentage in any period in the NBA Finals, trailing only the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the 2005 Finals vs Pistons (shot 18%, but won 97-76)
Meanwhile San Antonio's 4-of-21 on FGs in the second quarter ranks as its worst FG percentage in any period this season - regular season or playoffs - per ESPN Research.
DUMBEST generation in NBA history 👍
You are a FOOT taller than everyone, why would you pick and pop?!
Pick and roll to the basket! Use your biggest advantage- your height! 🤦🏻♂️
They should be up 20 because he gave them a great half and was getting taken off the floor so that should allow those other guys to REALLY eat
I need the tweets and the breakdowns guys
Where at the shooters? I was told the spurs are losing because Fox can’t shoot. So he is playing well so why aren’t the players who can shoot having any offensive effect on the game?
