And I just wonder, I wonder what you think.

Because Wemenyama, he gets the flagrant, right?

And then he becomes one flagrant away from a suspension.

Yeah, that's correct.

And also it meant that he was a flagrant away from getting suspended, even not going back to game three with the retroactive call.

So did that change the way he played?

Because it seemed like he was a little bit less aggressive, less rolling to the rim.

The Spurs weren't going to him.

Did you sense that that changed anything for him?

It seemed to change something for the team to me.

Yeah.

And the crazy thing too, Zach is the Spurs were in the bonus.

I don't, I want, it was more than four minutes left in the game.

I don't know if it was five or six, but they were in the boat.

They had the Knicks, excuse me, the Knicks committed five fouls.

I think five or six minutes left.

left to go in the game so if san antonio goes to the basket or even if they drive aggressively uh draw anything they're going to the line and i think carl anthony towns maybe i'm wrong i thought he had five at some point in the fourth and that's another you know reason to go attack the rim and they just didn't and i don't know like how much of that is on mitch johnson i i don't know where you put the blame darren fox takes it takes a lion's share of it

But I want to point out here, because I know it hit you when it was happening, the Jose Alvarado substitution, nine minutes and change to go in the fourth.

I mean, the thinking on Mike Brown, from Mike Brown on that, and then the execution from Alvarado, a guy who they traded for him.

They liked him a lot, but he was out of the rotation for stretches of late in the regular season.
