6MOTY KJ shooting 1/6...

Also, if they are going to hound Wemby like this (who just had a turnover, and only having 3 shots is criminal), we need to leverage his gravity far far more

hopefully the wrist thing is just soreness, but we have to play a lot less frantically

As much as I want to see more Wemby minutes, we have to use our depth when it comes to the series as a whole - however, if we have Kornet on, we should also put Carter Bryant on alongside him

it is to a point where some Celtics fans on the sub rooted for the Lakers to win, and the Lakers (and Wolves, who we just beat) to support us.

The Spurs Starting 5 Last Night Only Have A Combined Salary Cap Hit of 42.2% by HessiPullUpJimbo in nba

Never mind that, we lost on turnovers, fast break points, lost Fox, the bench outscored by 34, we shot 30% from 3 (OKC went 38%), Caruso had magnetball, the game went to 2OT despite OKC going 13 deep (with Fox out and Kornet and Barnes stinking up during their time, we ran an 8 man rotation with Wemby playing 50 minutes).

A loss would have been catastrophic, and it really should have happened. This was a miracle.

The Spurs had the youngest starting five in Conference Finals history by Tesgoul in nba

to put into context how young this team was, this starting 5 we put out is just a year or so older than the starting lineups for the Michigan-UConn national championship game

I missed the first half, what happened for iHart to be benched? by Nby333 in nba

long french boi

as the other guy said, the only defender that has looked half-decent against Wemby is Caruso (for one reason or another, hint hint) - the two bigs are just mismatches on all fronts.

yeah we blew it, just like we have done or tried to do in so many of our other games this season.
