And
Wimby in quarters one and three of these finals demands a was like 53% from the field Rested before the game got a little rest at halftime quarters two and four was like 34% from the field in game four during the meltdown He disappeared after the first quarter and in game one game five he disappeared after the midway part mark of the second quarter and so
Everybody is, and we'll get to the other Spurs stuff in a bit, killing De'Aaron Fox or killing Mitch Johnson.
Guys, everyone, myself included, was calling this guy the best player in the league.
He couldn't go get you a bucket.
He was winded 45 minutes into these games.
They sat him in crunch time of the fourth quarter because he needed a rest.
All right, what else do we have here, Demondze?
So here's the thing.
You...
You are not going to, in my opinion, hold against him losing in the finals.
And this season can't be anything other than a huge step in the right direction.
The only way this gets used against him is if it does become part of a pattern.
if he's if he is he has a bunch more late game meltdowns like game two if his team does have more historically uh historic blown leads if throughout his playoff career he just can't give you big minutes like then it's important so this is where the 07 lebron stuff is a fair comp kind of now
Wimby's team was a huge favorite.
LeBron's team was a huge underdog.
But still, nobody really used 07 against LeBron until 2011 happened.
And then when LeBron was bad in the finals of 2011, people were like, oh.
So he's been in the finals twice, been bad both times.
Then once LeBron ripped off seven more finals in a row and was an A triple plus in all seven, then nobody cared about the 07 finals anymore when he was 22.
