The second foul, they got fooled by Wemby. I watched that one ten times. His arm is 100% free and he’s pretending it’s hooked. Maybe there was a split second where it was hooked, but most of that time KAT’s arm is free and Wemby’s selling the idea that he’s stuck.

Wrote it on the game thread, it was totally obvious. We’re used to calling a flop on a player who falls for no reason, but this was also a flop. A different kind of flop, but still.

And for all those saying OG is the MVP, maybe, but Brunson getting difficult layups in the crowded paint late in the shot clock over and over after years (decades?) seems like the thing I’ll remember most of this four year run.

“I don’t know about the emotions, but it was painful, of course,” Wembanyama said. “It just feels like we worked too hard and give up our leads. It just hurts.”

oh, that sounds so terrible victor, please tell us more about the hurt…

it was 😀
