Fox lost them this game. And Mitch not calling a timeout in the final seconds. Wemby played bad on offense but at least he contributed a ton of defense. Same with Castle, even though he had some bad fouls.
Did they have a timeout left? I thought they didn't, iDK but definitely caused confusion for the spurs at the end. But, they got a wide open shot for the win ๐คท
Definitely right about Wemby, 12 blocks is insane and he's huge on defence. He seems way to passive on offense to me. Comparing Wemby to Ant on offense is night an day. Ant playing hurt had 11pt in the last 9min and Wemby had 11pt in like 40min. That's just not championship level play from Wemby, he needs to demand the ball to close it out.
No idea as well if they had a timeout left, but I assumed they did because all the players on the floor were expecting it with the way they slowed down. But yeah, they still got a good shot off, too bad it didn't go in.
That's the thing with Wemby and Castle though. Even if they have a bad offensive night, the worst case is that they are only bad on one side of the court, unlike others who are basically a negative on their off nights. But yes I agree, he's a superstar and definitely needs to score more for them to win this series. I think he was gassed too, that's why he kept chucking and had only enough energy to attack the rim a couple of times a quarter. He could easily get there, it just took a ton of energy to push through the Wolves bigs.
Efficient night off the bench for him too!
11pt in the 4th. Not a lot from ant most of the game but, showed up when it mattered.

Is it just me or are these teams constructed exactly the same. Led by small PG, talented but questionable centers, great wing defenders, gaurds who are spotty shooters but great rebounders for their size?
