Neither one of them can shoot.

And neither one of them are going to be able to really hold up in big time playoff games.

If they can't shoot, that's especially true against San Antonio, because when it be already screws up every team spacing, just by standing on the court, right?

Your spacing is screwed up.

You really cannot play two non-shooters at the same time against San Antonio and get away with it because they will just crunch the court on you.

Your offensive efficiency will go down so far.

And so you're almost obligated to put whatever shooters you have on the court, just to kind of open things up so you can even breathe on offense and

And then typically in the NBA, the shooters are the guys who can't play defense, right?

What I love about how the Spurs have developed this thing is that even though Wemby is an extraordinary offensive talent as well, I mean, he's an A plus defensive player, A to A plus offensive player already at this stage of his career.

he has gotten away from feeling like he has to do everything, which was part of the problem earlier in his career, because they've got the other guards because they have really good spacing for themselves on offense.

And because they trust the past, you know, and it was a big question that I had when they went to get Fox, was it going to be too much pound, pound, pound castle is not the world's most traditional point guard.

So sometimes you worry, is he going to be able to keep the flow moving, but they have just bought in together with the, with passing the basketball Webby's been a big part of it.

And then man, when he can finish plays after a couple of passes at the rim, or he can step out and shoot the three pointer, or he can hit the mid Ranger.

If the entire thing breaks down, there's so many different ways.

Webby can beat you as an offensive player.

It's kind of like good luck.

And I want to tip my hat to Jalen Duran.

I thought not only did he fight hard, you know, as the Pistons always do, you know, looking for a little scrap here and there.

I mean, he was pushing back and, and given some offense in the second half too, but it just doesn't matter.
