Might be a controversial opinion but I’m totally fine with refs not bailing out players who make dumb decisions in big moments that result in a low probability shot. And wanting to go one on one with OG at the cup with 10 seconds left checks all those boxes
I still think there’s a path for SA here tho. Game 5 at home is extremely winnable and I think they win it. Then they’re in a spot where they know that if they win at MSG they’re back home for one game for all the marbles. I really don’t think they’re dead yet.
The Spurs did a lot of dumbass things to lose that game
1. Why is Wemby playin 44 minutes when you're dominating the game like that?
2. Why was Castle in the game late in the 2nd quarter up 25+ with 2 fouls?
3. Why is Keldon Johnson ever on the court?
4. Why would Fox take that layup?
5. Why would Fox foul Alvarado with 5 seconds left instead of saving your foul to give until after the timeout?
6. Why are you in the penalty for the last EIGHT minutes of the basketball game and not telling your players to attack the rim?
7. WHY IS DYLAN HARPER NOT GETTING THE BALL DOWN THE STRETCH?
8. Again, why is Keldon Johnson ever seeing the court?
I swear they’ve had a 15 point lead at some point in every game this series and they’re down 1-3. I don’t know if that’s gonna be inspiring for them or defeating for them. We’ll see how they respond.
Yeahhhhh that might be the series. Wemby blowing those two FTs was huge. I really can’t believe Fox didn’t dribble it out when he got that loose ball tho. Even if he got that bucket there it only puts them up 3. Really dont understand his thinking there
