[STAT88]

They must have counted that as a strip/steal.

37 sec, not a block?

Pels announcers sure seemed to think it was

You mean Joel Myers and former Spur Antonio Daniels? The least homer crew that exists in the league, who were complimentary of the Spurs throughout the game.

All I heard anytime Zion moved was “Z oh my God look Z just moved”. “Z made a shot Ahhhhhhn yes”.

I don't know if you remember the game when Zion hit all those threes against the Spurs when he was a rookie. He looked like Jordan in 86. Three guys have been waiting a long time for that Zion to come back. In fact, nobody is more hopeful that Zion lives up to his potential.

I say this to people who accuse Sean Elliott of being a homer: rooting for your team is different from blindly believing your team can do no wrong. See Tommy Heinsohn or Clyde Drexler.

I read a stat recently that Zion hit like four three pointers that game and eleven since. This is just the top of my head from memory.

These pels guys are such pros and extremely enthusiastic over a cursed franchise. Nothing but respect to their dedication.

Spurs broadcast is bottom half. Sean doesn’t work with Jacob and Jacob doesn’t work with pro sports. Best highlight package of a generation is going to be narrated by an internet dork.

I guess I'm the homer, because I love Sean and whomever. Bill Land was silly, and I adored him.

AD is really top-tier, IMO. He was one of my favorite players, and to this day has the second greatest dunk I ever saw.
