He's one of my favorite players in the entire NBA, having a hell of a series.
But the idea of couching the Chet Hartenstein idea
double big lineup when Wemby's on the court and then playing a lot of J. Will instead as the lone big is really interesting and they've had a lot of success with it.
And so that's kind of what I'm looking at to see how the Spurs kind of counter that and attack it a little bit better.
Game one was so good that I just wish Adam Silver decreed that both teams got an extra day of rest or two days of rest or whatever it was.
That was phenomenal stuff.
Also, Dylan Harper not looking like the same guy.
I think he's a little banged up with the abductor.
Yeah.
You know, Wemby, obviously, in the paint, is unstoppable.
When they have Hartenstein on him, they started to run those wide pin downs.
And I think you mentioned just kind of empty corner, off-ball stuff.
And...
I love that action.
I love when they run it, but I agree with you that if he's shooting jumpers, even if he's shooting threes, it's tough.
I would like to see him get a little bit downhill, a little more with the inverted pick and rolls, but it's just...
The Thunder, I mean, we're talking about one of the greatest defenses in the history of the NBA.
And what they do so well is dance in and out of gaps and pack the paint.
And when you have someone like Alex Caruso on the court with bigs, it's just...
it's so tough.
