What that foul on?

 

[Uriel]

Would you rather have Luka or AE if you had a choice between the two? Didn't Nico try to trade Luka to the Wolves for AE before the Lakers offer?

Edwards. He's younger and more durable. Doncic is a better player today, but I don't trust he'll be elite a decade from now.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

Inadvertent whistle? wtf

 

[Rafa]

That’s a bush league call in the playoffs lol

 

[Spurminator]

Barnes has a better matchup than KJ in this series, expecting him to get a disproportionate amount of minutes, hopefully that shot's falling.

 

[ginobilized]

Inadvertent whistle? Is this a high school game?

 

[spursparker9]

Without Gobert, they should run some PnR and attack rim with Wemby tbh

 

[100%Duncan]

Vic has more 3fga than 2. Wtf?

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Victor is putting on like the greatest defensive performance ever but he’s got to get that shot going.

 

[Unseen]

Wemby is a beast man

 

[kjhip1]

damn they are gonna wear Ant out, bold strategy cotton.

 

[WembyFan]

ok Spurs showing some mettle

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Vic’s offense is utter shite but he’s being a maniac on defense

 

[Snake Eyes]

Spurs’ defense is off the charts.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

Vassell man. Dude really is a big game merchant.

 

[scott]

Our defense is on another level right now… there is 1 very specific reason, but the rest of the team is upping the intensity as well

 

[100%Duncan]

He doesnt even need the shot, he hasnt taken any shot in the paint after that easy layup on Gobert. Just bothersome

 

[Manu20]

Spurs stating to play more free and loose, run them out of the building!

 

[Rafa]

I like the intensity here on both sides of the ball! Wemby 3 will need to start going in though, with their size loving to roam the paint he’s gonna keep seeing those until he starts making them pay

 

[DaSlicer]

Vic has more 3fga than 2. Wtf?

I would say that's really on Vic not being aggressive and playing within the offense. I think eventually he'll heat up. It seems like right now he's feeling out how the Wolves are going to defend on offense.

 

[NASpurs]

Wemby with 6 blocks lol

 

[210XSpurs]

The Spurs are definitely meeting the defensive intensity of the Wolves. I love it. We just need to get Fox and Johnson going.

Make that 2, Harper is growing to be an elite defender.

 

[wemvp]

Minny looks far and away like the better coached team tbh.

Not even close. They're playing stupid ball going right at the rim with Wemby in. He'll have 15 blocks by half of they keep they strategy. They can't win that game, Wemby can treat everyone in their team like a child at the rim all night long

 

[OK Computer]

Spurs not having an issue with Twolves as some board members feared — they can’t get a good lead because of some players underperforming.
