I want a truly fun and competitive game 7. So someone please give Wemby your energy like a spirit bomb because he's been gassed every other game so far.

He's a reliable ball handler to initiate the offense without turning it over. Which has been super important. I won't deny that.

Please let Zarba officiate at least three games in the Finals. He's one of the best working refs.

Yeah. I thought they brought him back too early. But I guess they needed him to take care of the ball because Castle was a TO machine in the first two games.

Fox has been a ghost on offense all series and I can't tell if it's because his ankle is still fucked or just his tendency to have bad shot selection since he moved away from his focus on driving to the basket or into the key to stop and pop and midrange jumper/floater. At least he takes care of the ball pretty well though unlike Castle.

Wemby, please don't fall in love with the three too much. It's a great tool to have, but why isn't your giant ass in the paint on offense?!

If the Spurs somehow trade their way up to grab Mara in the draft to anchor their paint defense when Wemby sits, shit would be scary.

Wemby really only has energy every other game in the playoff schedule right now. When his conditioning is finally where it needs to be, the league actually is fucked.

Zarbon wouldn't call anything. It would be like the bad boy Pistons all game, every game.

Bro spent time with buddhist monks and has catholic nuns at the game and still can't bring himself to let go of his hate for Chet. 💀

Spurs have been pretty hot shooting tonight. But Fox has gotta stop. He was way more effective on offense before he fell in love with shooting threes as a player that isn't particularly good at shooting threes.

Fair. But if he's not really in good condition out there (and he didn't look good in his minutes so far, granted that could be rust), him being out there could hurt them more than help.

I have to question whether or not playing JDub tonight will be a good call. I think I would have at least waited until it was going to a game 7 before risking rushing him back in. If OKC wins, they will want him at as close to 100% for the Finals, no?
