@Splashgod412011 Idk I think it's 50/50/50 situation lol. Johnson should have called timeout, Wemby shouldn't have hot potatoed, Castle should have been expecting the ball. I'd need to see a replay but I wasn't shocked Wemby wanted to give it to him.

Knicks are just an undeniably tough ass team man. Got a little lucky at the end but it always takes that. They are taking it to the Spurs physically, esp. Wemby, in a way OKC couldn't summon.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Really rough offensive game from Castle. Youth showing for the Spurs about 3 times per game, esp. in transition.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Just nothing you can do with that Brunson middy fadeaway man. Guy is stupid clutch.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Fox/Harper/Champagnie combo has been nails in the late 4th. Really heady/patient of Harper to stay composed and find Wemby trailing in transition.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

However this game ends, I feel like the Spurs adjusted pretty well overall. Wemby in a funk in the first half and Castle with some classic young PG silly mistakes but Fox has been way better and all their guards look a little more comfy. Defense swarming. Need a little luck.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Bridges and Shamet both on flame thrower level heaters this whole playoffs is just one of those "it's our year" things that's sort of undeniable if you've been watching the league for a while. Shooting with unconscious confidence. Can't fake that.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Wemby coming to life >>> Spurs did a much better job getting him touches closer to the basket moving downhill to start the half. Got him in an aggressive rhythm touching the ball in the paint. Still no answer for KAT playmaking from either wing though. Got lucky with that foul.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

KAT got shafted on that offensive foul

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Barkley is 100% spot on despite this messy ass needless bickering

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

A+++ half from KAT man. He's in Wemby's head.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Knicks not being afraid to drive on Wemby is a staggering change from the OKC series. They're selective but they go at him when he's out of position.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Towns v Wemby >>>

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Castle got hacked for sure but the worse mistake was Wemby launching that stepback 3 after spooking Alvarado

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Hack-a-defense this early is SO Spurs lol I respect it

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Once a year I remember Tierra Whack is my favorite

This conductor?? Nahh this makes it even more fire!! 🔥

@517to214 Not sure how hot a take this is but my instinct from the Lakers' perspective is to let him & LeBron walk if they won't take a haircut to stay. Lakers are more than a player or two away from a title.

[timely buckets @timelybuckets]

Trying to reconcile the festering decay of bad leadership through the lens of a single error in judgement will only yield confusion. Mismanaging and squandering Luka and Brunson in such spectacular fashion were merely loud symptoms of a much more devastating disease — hubris.

[Uncle Block @517to214]

One caused the other

@thebeltwayagent Feel like elite signaling is a huge part of this. I get the sense that lots of politically-interested ppl have a couple political media faves whose takes and level of ire they essentially mimic with few exceptions. Seems factional more than partisan to me though.

Whatever her ceiling is, something I appreciate about Angel Reese is that she's not afraid to look silly adding to her game in real time. You could see it in Unrivaled and the last 2 WNBA seasons, trying more finishing with the right hand and shooting open 3s off the catch.
