Let's discuss all the ways this final Wemby turnover went wrong.
1) You can see the three Spurs (Vassell, Harper, Castle) identify there's going to be no timeout and run their fastbreak lanes. It's a pretty standard practice of spacing the floor properly with the primary ball-handler De'Aaron Fox on the floor, who is just off the screen to the left. While Castle does look back in this exact moment, if you run the video....he turns his head forward immediately after this frame. As he should! Busting his ass down the floor, ahead of the action, to get to his assigned spot that is discussed lord knows how many times in the film room. That pass should never ever happen to someone running the sideline, and Wemby alluded to this in his postgame press conference comments.
2) Let's just say Castle somehow catches the pass. He is full steam ahead downhill, with no idea what is in front of him because he's looking backwards. Waiting for him is the NBA leader in charges taken. He was set up perfectly to take yet another right here.
3) Wemby chasing after the incomplete pass to make up for his error and barreling into Jalen Brunson, who would have fallen over if a fart hit him let alone a 7'5" guy. The moment was chaotic, and these guys are tasked with making split-second decisions, but to see him double-down and put Brunson at the line was a self-inflicted wound that they make 30-for-30s for. The turnover may have given the Knicks the ball back, but there was no guarantee it would have resulted in points ... and you head to overtime. Now you might have to hear that piano with a guy softly narrating "What if I told you...Area 51 has no secrets?"

🚨 HOLY SHIT.
CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency.
And the wildest part?
One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined.
Think about that.
This video is PEAK comedy gold. I felt this in my SOUL. 😂
“Can’t stand these fckn bicyclists” — my brother, you just narrated my morning commute.
He nails it: Grown-ass men in skin-tight neon spandex outfits looking like a pack of radioactive Power Rangers, riding three-wide like it’s the Peloton Championships on a residential road. No one’s handing out medals at the cul-de-sac, Kyle. You’re not transporting a heart for surgery. You’re just expensive, slow-moving road geese with $10k carbon fiber attitudes.
One? Fine. Eight? That’s a tactical formation. That’s how civilizations fall.
I’m honking, I’m crying, I’m in agreement. Save us from the Lycra Legion. He nails every reason I can’t stand the bicycle militia.
With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
In October 1979, American stuntman Kenny Powers attempted to cross the St. Lawrence River in a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental, traveling more than a mile and a half from Morrisburg, Ontario, to Ogden Island, New York.
The stunt failed spectacularly when the car hit a bump on the ramp and split in two mid-flight, causing the parachutes to deploy prematurely and the vehicle to crash into the river.
