Good thing Mitch kept him in the game

Same story as last game. His bricks fueled comebacks all series long.

Fox is such a great teammate protecting Wemby and Castle from all the slander, because I think the 3 of them combined scored 4 points in the 4th quarter

And mitch insisted to keep him in and let initiate offense, i swear harper didnt even touch the ball during that stretch. And when they needed a 3 at the end, champagnie whos ⁴⁄₈ from 3 is on the bench lol i dont think ive seen anything ridiculous like this in the finals ever

He kept shooting even though he couldn’t hit the ocean out of a boat.

He was still on a team that got to the finals and beat OKC, the favorite to win it all.

KAT went for 2 points on 1-7, but nobody gives a shit because his team happened to win.

It was Phil Jackson who said, “Winning covers a mountain of sins. And losing creates mountains out of molehills.”

He was trying to be the Hero and make up for his mistakes last game. Instead he doubled down and lost

Blame for him, but also blame for his teammates that looked afraid. He was the only one (besides Harper) being aggressive. That’s on the coach 100%. Pull his ass.

He heard everyone say he couldnt get any worse, then said hold my beer.

He wanted to prove he is not mentally weak, just regular weak

Lol i rmb seeing someone commenting kyrie’s “i wouldnt go ⁸⁄₂₂ again” then proceeded to score ⁷⁄₂₁ as an example in the post mitch said hes gonna put the ball in fox’s hand

Dude is a straight up dynasty killer, lmao.

De’Aaron Fox will have the ball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow and I have nothing but the utmost confidence that he’s gonna deliver like he’s done countless times for us

He’s the only Spur who’d be safe in NYC tonight.

Dude thought he was prime MJ in the fourth. He took all the shots.

He won’t pay for a single meal in NYC again

Hey he played abysmal defense too!

Fox is literally Bradley Beal v2. 

Empty stats on a losing franchise that boosted his market value. When the spotlights were bright both faded away. 

I can forgive Steph, he has the toughest assignment, Fox literally just jacking off on the court

Send him to SIBERIA

He makes 2016 Harrison Barnes look like Michael Jordan lmao

Send him back to Sacramento

Absolutely disgusting finals from him, fire him into the sun

Castle at least played great defense

Fox looked lost all game long

The Spurs gave up draft capital to get Fox and then maxed him immediately for no reason

Wait for knicks run- then start jacking hasty 3’s and make none of them.

(Granted they stopped jacking threes this last time pretty quickly, BUT they replace that strategy with…nothing)

Youd think Mitch would understand this…it happened in each of their games…but nahhh

Step 6: profit

We made it to the finals. Definitely a lot of space to move down.

That was the worst part of it, if he was missing wide open 3s that would be one thing, but he would take it upon himself to slightly drive in for a long contested 2.  He was forcing bad shots over and over.

Seriously, it was a bone head move all series to take the ball away from Harper who has been absolutely killing it. Then you expect Harper to pull magic out of his ass in the last few minutes? Ridiculous. And we blew a 29 point lead last game. We didn’t deserve to win. Not with this horrible display

At least then it’d make sense.

He was involved in a crypto scam so it wouldn’t surprise me

I knew that max extension would be terrible. I didn’t know it would bite us in the ass before it even started…

This is gonna suck.

Christian braun digs in his ass is going to get paid 125mil for it. Atleast fox knows how to hold a ball

It seems that Harper is kind of the only guy who can make plays, and those are usually him driving to the rim.

Every Spurs possession was meandering dribbling, with most guys just kind of standing around, until some drove into traffic, then passed to someone to take a three.

There was a possession in this game where the paint was literally empty—not a motherfucker in sight—I started looking around, thinking they must’ve subbed Wemby out. But nope. He was hanging out on the perimeter. Then he got the ball, shot the three, missed.

My man. You are a million feet tall. Get near the fucking basket and throw it in.

The Spurs need to get him in the paint WAY more than they are. It’s absurd.

People are gonna say it was a team failure, which I guess is fair. But…

• Game 1: ³⁄₁₃
• Game 3: ⁴⁄₁₄
• Game 4: ⁶⁄₁₆
• Game 5: ³⁄₁₅

I’d say even worse because the Magic weren’t relying on Nick Anderson to be a star, they had Shaq and Penny. Fox was brought in with the intention of making him Wemby’s #2 and he fucking sucks.

Kings won a trade!

not even close

Then people wonder why the Kings beam teams never went anywhere…

you want to fire a rookie* coach who just got to game 5 of the finals?

Harper played 16 of the last 20 mins. He did the thing everyone screamed for him to do. Harper didnt shoot well down the stretch

Trae would be much better at finding Wemby in the paint that’s for sure. Shit is sad.

Not gonna lie, this would’ve been an even better series. The storylines would’ve been incredible.

Spurs could’ve had Trae? holy shit lol

it is madness that people constantly forget Trae Young is both a great facilitator and shot creator.

fox provided neither of these things. he just had to do one of them and the spurs could have won this series.

bing bong.

They’ll get away with it because of all the rookie contracts they have.

Bradley Beal

How young is this sub? It’s not like John wall and Ben Simmons are ancient history.

They can probably dump him. He was injured and not super old and they have a good amount of picks. Maybe to the nets or Chicago.

Easier said than done with that contract, especially with tanking rules changing.

It’s Mitch Johnson, there wasn’t a reason.

EXACTLY! It’s like he took EVERY big shot in the 4th quarter, and MISSED!!!!

Way worse… actually Fox during the WCF and Finals has been worse than any version of James Harden ever in the playoffs (outside of his rookie year coming off the bench)

Wemby needs to get way tougher. He can’t hang with strong bigs
