De’Aaron Fox you’re a San Antonio Spur for the next 3 years just based on this gritty ass showing on one leg and the necessity to have you alleviate the ball handling duties for these young guards.
You’re stamped.
T-Mac: "Has Pop come in that locker room and say he needs some nastiness outta y'all?"
Fox: "We lost Game 3... but that was the first time he walked into the locker room and was like "Nah, that's BS.. that's not how we play basketball" and obviously he had some choice words for us.. that was the first time all season that he came into the locker room right after a game and told us how he felt"
As a Van backer, I feel bad for Taira. The announcers were trying to defend it, but that’s a bad stoppage in Round 5 of a title fight. Especially considering it might’ve been 2-2. Taira doesn’t want to be protected there. Let him battle until the end
Here's what Khamzat and Strickland were saying to each other in the final face off
🗣️ Khamzat: "F*ck you b*tch. I'm gonna f*ck you up you have only 1 day."
🗣️ Strickland: "F*cking coward. You cheap shot me you f*cking b*tch."
🗣️ Khamzat: "You have only one day left. You know what I'm gonna do. There's not gonna be security there. I'm gonna f*ck you up tomorrow." 😳
