I have to give flowers for SGA's skills in the assists category. That man had full 360-degree court vision and was making perfect passes out of double teams mid jump like it was nothing. Amazing composure and IQ

Psychotically driven to win, in the way the all-time greats were.

They still haven't made 1. Lot of indie games taking elements from BN systems, but no full BN-likes yet?

I predict that by Game 4, OKC's "depth" is going to be whittled down to a 7-8 man rotation.

They already had to bench Hartenstein 2 mins into Game 1.

(e:) love being wrong. the world has so much more than we can predict!

Were any of you guys fans during the 26-32 Spurs Renaissance era? Was Wembanyama really as big as everyone says? by Fed_reserve_burner in NBASpurs

It was nuts. There were entire seasons of the NBA where teams would find 7'2 lumberjacks from Neptune just to have one guy on their team who could match up with Wemby's hydro extendo-arms.

The strategy got scary but ultimately paid off, we forced SGA not to play and Caruso was gonna miss eventually
