I wonder if this will be a point of emphasis in game 5, and if wemby has been camping the paint illegally a lot.

He has been. In game 3, in earlier games I was rewinding to count him off

Yeah I noticed he had one that they didn’t call in the last minute or so…different set of rules for him and objectively obvious.

great info.

I knew it was suspicious that it was in the L2m. this means the league is def telling the officials to look out for it.

KAT with the high IQ vet move. At this high level small things like this are what seperates wins from losses. Harp not having space to move meant KAT could get a hand on the pass.

Obviously one of the best comebacks in sports history!

A few thoughts/observations...

Spurs were 3 crazy in 1st half but most were wide open/uncontested - can Brown adjust and let some penetration occur so we don't keep giving them up?
Fox did get fouled but refs finally realized you can't call that after the way the game was called the past three - sometimes you need some luck
JB's last shot was actually a really poor percentage shot and despite OG saving us with the tip in - it should have been better than let it fly from 28
Where was Bridges offensively last night?
Alvardo stepped up and we really need his ballhanding... and he will often spark for a game so we need Deuce or Shamet to offer something next game
Knicks will likely be more aggressive with Wemby next game due to finally being called on a flagrant - next one he has to sit
Game plan should focus on simply not letting Spurs take a big lead. While we are great at coming back - big deficits do catch up with you over time. The longer we stay close the more the pressure shifts to the Spurs

but Hart, Alvarado, mikal, OG have all shot the 3 with quick triggers vs this coverage and have been successful.


Knicks are getting better and better shots vs this look as the games progress


really feels like the tactics on both sides are now expended and its really just refining things at the margins.

I mentioned it earlier but keep this in mind. Starting the third quarter the Spurs played softer D because they didn't want to foul and stop the clock. They wanted to use the clock. Knicks had better looks and as soon as they saw a few go in, we were fired up and going

Similarly they are getting a lot of grief for their threes, but it's hard to criticize that as a no brainer. their guys were shooting lights out. going into the paint would allow us to be physical and if the refs were letting them play who knows what happens. I think this criticism that they were dumb for their 3s is made with the benefit of hindsight. When we've blown teams out we were shooting threes; difference is ours went in

I have probably watched the tip in, and the last defensive stop 200 times at this point.

but if you catch one of those clips that shows every hit shot in the fourth it is just as incredible. There were A TON of tough, clutch shots.
