I thought Fox's superior speed would help him escape Murray's fate, but Jaden just did him even dirtier.

He's an absolute wraith covering small guards.

Wemby doesn't really have 'easy' buckets in his game at this point.

Guys weren’t aware. Bad situational awareness

I know they got an open look, but I would have called timeout. You could tell the players were expecting it and I can't help but think Champagnie felt rushed because of it.

Rudy Gobert is on a legacy defining run these playoffs.

Great game. It's going to be a really good series. And A+ atmosphere in San Antonio. In a league of carbon copy game experiences, San Antonio does their own thing.

Love that Ant accountability. That man will win a championship with that mentality.

Well...it's going to be tough for the Spurs to win in 4 now.

That has been the type of guard that has given Jaden some troubles. I'll be curious to see how it plays out

Ant and Gobert have imposed their will on ...

Joker and Murray
LeBron and Luka
Steph and Butler
KD and Booker

And Now ... Wemby and Castle, oh, yes :lol:

Wemby is amazing. 5/17. Too bad Joker couldn’t play as good vs Minny….

Jokic is in Serbia getting drunk riding ponies, why bring his name up.

B..but that block record! *

You're right-- he shouldn't have blocked all those shots, since he missed so many threes.

you think they were getting a better look than that by drawing up a play?

and he didnt look confident when he took that shot.

Spurs should be worried. Could see them go down 0-2

Oh, yeah; how could I not see it?

I always got your back.

Let's hope for a classic series between our two beloved franchises.

Thanks, buddy. This was a hell of a game-- congratulations on THE WRONG TEAM WINNING.

There are times where I wonder if Victor is like KG, in that he trusts his teammates too much when he is so much more dominant than them.

As a non-biased fan, Castle missing the last 9'ish minutes of the game because of bullsh#% fouls is really my only gripe.

I can't wait for Ayo to get healthy. Ayo v Harper is my superbowl.

Who wins and goes to the WCF's?
