Terrence went with his high school on intros. Wish he’d shouted out the Illini. Sometimes Ayo also does that saying he’s from Chicago.

Spurs should have called timeout late, advance the ball, and throw it to Wemby down 2. Having their worst offensive player take a game deciding 3 wasn’t good basketball. He was open for a reason

IMO this was a bad shot by Randle. One more pass to TSJ and you chew more clock AND get a much better shot.


They got the REB with 8 seconds; big difference compared to if it were 4 or 5 seconds.
In general I find the whole "City Edition" alternate uniforms and courts stuff depressing and cringe, with the notable exception of the Spurs with the 90's color schtick, which is a 15 out of 10.

Yeah, for such an aggressive mix of colors, it actually works. It’s a fun court with a great vibe
I always thought, whoever did the Spurs branding in the late 80s and 90s had to have taken inspiration from old diners.

The colors actually come from San Antonio’s annual Fiesta San Antonio.


The Spurs do a near perfect job of incorporating those colors. I think it looks fantastic.

really goes to show that the NBA is all about getting an opportunity. TSJ has been wasting away on the bench all season for unknown reasons, then immediately inserted into the starting lineup and—surprise!—produces.

has to be incredibly frustrating as a player to know what you are capable of but have coaching cost you tens (hundreds?) of millions of dollars

If I were a longtime Timberwolves fan, I’d be pretty puzzled why Shannon rode so much pine this year (outside of injuries) and is suddenly a key, productive part of the rotation in the playoffs. I get Ayo and Divincenzo are out and that's a big part of it, but this is the 2nd year straight where Shannon has been HUGE for them in the playoffs. Something is off there.
