Spurs have been genuinely embarrassing at home tonight.
Late close outs, getting beat to every board, late rotations, getting out worked all over…
In a game that is essentially win or its #over for you… but the young guys gotta learn somehow
Scott Van Pelt says Shai Gilgeous-Alexander “can’t be better” in his Game 7 performance than he was.
“Shai was as good as you can be in the game; he was even better after. There was a ton of noise that surrounded him in the playoffs, and I specifically contributed to it early in a round that feels like it’s a year ago against Phoenix. And then the conversation — and the tonnage of the conversation — just got louder and louder and louder. I tried — maybe I failed — to make the point. I said, ‘love the player, don’t love the whistle,’ and I said the guy’s great ’cause he’s great. You can’t be better in a loss than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was on Saturday night [in Game 7]. Can’t play better, can’t be a better example, can’t lead better, can’t give the credit to the team that just beat you — which can’t be the easiest or most fun thing to do… Shai acted like a grown a*s man before, during, and after. Can’t ask for more. You talk about ethical basketball? He played it.”
