Zach Lowe: “If the Spurs win Game 7, and Shai has like another 6-18 game. I do think in a lot of corners, with at least some justification, it’s gonna make people rethink— not rethink, it’s gonna be a slight taint, on what has otherwise been a pretty spotless rise to #1 or #2 in the NBA, 2-time MVP”

If he cant figure out this defense, and they go down in 7, to a team that is way ahead of schedule, i do think its gonna change his perception around the league, at least a little bit. fair or unfair, and i think probably a little bit of both
i do think a lot of it is, he has come up against a riddle that he just cant solve, and his team cant solve. and a lot of it is just about Wembanyama. which makes the fallout of a Thunder loss more interesting than the fallout of a Spurs loss.
