Just now seeing that Wemby's grandmother passed away yesterday. That obviously affected his play. Basketball was prob the last thing his mind. Condolences to he and his family.
Wemby's getting clowned on social media and rightfully so tbh. Can't be talking all that shit about how you're "the best player in the world" and how "some people aren't built for the moment but you are" and then come and completely shit the bed in the NBA Cup Finals. He needs to learn from this...
Wemby was a team-worst -18 tonight... He was dog-shit outside of that 2-min stretch where he hit consecutive shots. He played like a dumbass the majority of the game. Horrible shot-selection, pressing offensively, late on defensive rotations, and worst of all, got destroyed on the glass all...
This. Barnes has a rich history of shitting the bed when games matter. This is well-known. He can be a Regular Season minutes-eater, that's fine. But dude is a massive choker in Playoff games/games that matter in general. He's a mental midget who can't be counted on when the lights are bright.
Not a bunch, but I think they desperately need an upgrade at the 4 position. Barnes is dog-shit and a net-negative player when he's not hitting his wide open looks, which is in basically every big game he ever plays in. He's mental midget and it's clear he's not the long-term answer.
Knicks wanted it more than us. That simple. They destroyed us on the glass all game long and got damn-near every loose ball it seemed. They out-hustled us. They played harder than us. Spurs were sniffing their own farts after beating OKC and proceeded to get bent over on national television...
This was some humble pie and an unfriendly reminder that this team ain't close to Championship contention yet tbh. 2 years of growth and development (and a couple upgrades) away from contention. Lots of improvement needed in multiple areas.
