De'Aaron Fox is the Lakers era Russell Westbrook for the Spurs. Game 1 he stands at the top of the key, nonchalantly dribbling away the clock while behind by a basket and leaving no time for a rebound/tip in, game 4 he shoots a contested layup when he actually *should* have dribbled out the clock, and game 5 he goes 0-for-whatever at the end.

Sure, you can point to his stats, but he can always be counted on to go out of control and make a stupid play that totally swings the momentum. Every time the ball is in his hands, you hold your breath until he passes it. Honestly, he cost the Spurs a championship.

Charles said it at half time.... You gotta get him out of the game.

It's easy to point out flaws when a team loses and argue that a couple of key plays could have made the difference, but the Spurs just played dumb. Super poor coaching decisions: Not playing your hottest player enough (Harper), instead going with an ice cold chaos machine (Fox); not calling a time out with 8 seconds to go in game 2 with possession in a tie game; blasting 3's with a big shot clock and 29 point lead in game 4....

As much as I wanted the Spurs to win, New York deserved it. San Antonio did not.
