Mitch Johnson took that scheme straight out of Mike Brown’s playbook. That’s how the Knicks were able to turn the tables on the Hawks. Then they did the same thing to the 76ers and the Cavs.
Why tf is he not in the paint catching lobs??? It's so frustrating to watch. They got him playing like a guard on offense.
Yo, props Ben for promoting fighting against social media companies.
The refs big adjustment, it's purely a matter of if they call the flops or not game by game. Analyzing everything else is secondary.
Bro what? Your big idea is they made a huge adjustment by running offense thrpough Wemby? And this is "thinking basketball"
but as usual in this rigged league theyre gonna give the free throw merchant a trillion free throws next game and give FTA and hus gang the win .
If anyone js curious the spurs shot TWICE as many free throws as okc….
Nailed it, sir!
Yeah, Wemby is the engine that makes the Spurs run, and not just on defense. I loved that he started yesterday inside, and then worked his way out. It forces that contraction/expansion defensively, and unlocks the rest of the team. Getting him earlier and cleaner touches (mid-post, nail, short-roll) is a great way to improve the spacing. And oh yeah – making your 3's. Turns out that helps. Although I don't LOVE him shooting that many 3's, even if they are going in.
Hopefully Harper is close to 100% – he looked vastly different last night than he had in the previous games after getting banged up, and has the ability to get his own buckets and finish efficiently at the rim. Makes a huge difference for the team, especially trying to balance out the scoring punch OKC has been getting from their bench throughout the series.
@ 0:55 "Playing him with their BEEFY centers!" Pause
This isn’t a good offense ngl theylll lose game 7 but I want to talk about them carrying the ball think of Isaiah Thomas on the Celtics when the bulls coach said something
Our boy Harper needs 30 mins at least and touches in g7 for spurs to have a chance
This is really just a compilation of Fox missing every damn shot
One of the biggest thing holding back the sprus is dearon fox not making shots and not contributing as much as he should on this team . if all attention is on victor , he needs to be able to punish that and right now he doesnt
Wemby will stop the Thunder from ruining the game
The big adjustment was they played well and OKC didn't lol. The only game with any adjustment was 4 when they started playing SGA straight up.
He starting to realize that the high pick and roll as the roller is where his money will come from if he could just roll, pop and shoot the mid range that no one can guard. He needs to develop that KD jumpshot.
Both teams are really fighting the refs. The winner of game 7 will be determined by the refs unfortunately 😂
Using mental health to sell is a low blow 😅 not blaming you personally I hate the capitalist system that encourages this behaviour
Wow genius! Have more touches for a guy who is 7 5 and got handles like a top point guard, got spin moves like hakeem, and can shoot the 3. Who would have known.
i dont get why they dont iso wemby at the top of the key like KAT does with new york …
Okc supports okc. Everyone else supports wemby
5years ago you can address the bs flopping in the league. What happen? Did your balls drop off? It doesnt bother you? Like sga doesnt bother flying fish flop all the time then call it "well balance"?
Refreshing actual basketball talk
That ad being in a video pertaining to this series is so fucking prescient
wemby dressed as rock lee got a 40 points in tryharding and pure skill bonus this game
Lil bro you covered every single spurs okc game but even one game from the knicks
Fucking running Morgan and Morgan ads. Societal leeches
I could have sworn this was a 'misses from De Aaron Fox' video
Sorry internet?
Off-topic but speaking of mental health thank you for not promoting gambling sponsors on your channel. I’m sure you’ve received offers and I’m sure they pay a lot
Frivolous lawsuits DO NOT make the world a better places jfc
The fist quarter made me VERY nervous, Wemby settled for long-distance shots but THANKFULLY was hitting. He was ON but they need to get him into the paint more.
OKC down 2 of their top 5 players and still favored to close out this series is amazing. Shai really is the best
