Chris Broussard

But defensively, he usually is contesting anything he's close to.

You know, leaping high in the air to contest three-point shots.

He was not doing a lot of that, at least not regularly or as much as he usually does.

And that told me...

He's not only physically exhausted, but mentally.

So in these past, this day, past day or two, has he been able to get himself back together mentally and physically?

I think he will.

I think he'll play a great game tonight, and I think they'll win and force a game seven.

We forget he's only 22, okay?

And if he doesn't show up with a dominant performance, he's got to lean on like 21-year-old Castle, 20-year-old Harper.

I know Fox is solid, but he had a brutal game five.

I'm just wondering, like,

What do you expect tonight?

More of what we saw from game one Spurs?

Because by the way, since game one, none of the games have been particularly close in the final five minutes.

Or do you expect more of a game five?

No, I expect certainly not game five in which they would get trampled.

But I don't necessarily expect the nip and tuck game.

Usually one of the teams has gotten out to a nice lead and kept it anywhere from six to 11, somewhere around there.

I kind of expect that to happen again.
