Anyone who thinks De'Aaron Fox is “ducking” or that the Spurs are playing lineup games truly does not understand how dangerous that injury play by Ayo Dosunmu was. Fox basically forced himself to play through the ankle injury in Game 6, and afterward the ankle reportedly responded very poorly with swelling and soreness. This isn’t gamesmanship. It’s the Conference Finals and he's dealing with a legitimately compromised ankle.

Mitch Johnson didn’t mince words after Game 1. He said the Spurs need to do a much better job of getting Victor Wembanyama into the paint and attacking the rim, emphasizing an inside-out approach offensively. He also made it clear the ball movement wasn’t where it needed to be. “Sixteen assists is not our brand of basketball.” Expect adjustments in Game 2.

I'm not the coach, but I am gonna say this because I'm paid to... Mason Plumblee and Bismack Byombo knew EXACTLY what they were doing here. And just like the Thunder, they're not interested in runner-up trophies or ethical hoops. These vets bring appropriate NASTY and perhaps should be given more minutes if others are "too gassed or tired" to bring it.

Let me be clear, if I wasn't already. No one can tell me those two Spurs vets (and others) aren't completely fed up. When they checked in, they were CLEARLY on a mission. And as we all saw and were told during the previous series when exasperated Wemby finally swung HIS ELBOW, this is what happens when the NBA doesn't enforce the rules designed to protect players and the supposed integrity of the game of basketball. Suddenly, rival fanbases are confronted and outraged when San Antonio finally decides to match that physicality and retaliate in the closing minutes of Game 5. Yet, those same toxic critics stayed completely silent while their own team spent five games grabbing, pulling, and straight up flopping repeatedly because the league's BEST officials actively allow it. We live in a world where people see what they want to see how they want to see it. Everyone spouting their own version of the truth. Well, stay tuned and watch what happens when integrity of this game continues to go out the window.

The “secret” adjustment. Before Game 4, Stephon Castle said the Spurs had identified “one easy fix” after watching film and then after the game Devin Vassell said the team had made one defensive adjustment but refused to reveal what it was. I'm wonder if that adjustment and fix wasn't as simple as targeting and stopping OKC’s Alex Caruso? During the two losses Caruso had become one of the most impactful players on the court and to see him shut down the way he was on Sunday was, to say the least, impressive. Yet no one is talking about this. What do you think the adjustment was?

Here’s a crazy idea several fans have sent me and posted on our Facebook group: “Put Mason Plumblee in there next to Wemby or Luke. Dude has experience and lots of NASTY plus he can grab loads of rebounds and run in transition faster than any other big. If he gets a technical or thrown out, oh well.”

So much for unwritten rules. I'm told that with the clock winding down, Devin’s emphatic final dunk wasn't about the scoreboard it was fueled by pure frustration and animosity toward the OKC Thunder. That hard fought battle showcased some of the best basketball ever televised.

The Spurs feature two key players who grew up playing basketball in the New York area. 🏙️🏀 Rookie Dylan Harper is a Franklin Lakes, New Jersey native who played for Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, NJ, before deciding to stay home and star at Rutgers University. Julian Champagnie was born in Staten Island and raised in Brooklyn, where he starred at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School before playing his college ball locally at St. John's. From the East Coast to the Alamo City, back to East Coast to play in front of old neighbors, family and friends at the Garden against the Knicks in the NBA Finals!

The Selesian Nuns were celebrated by the Spurs last week. From a full police escort and transportation by @txelitedriver, to suite seating during Game 6, they were given a memorable "thank you" for years of support and prayers for the team. (🎥 via @📱FB user Laura Everywhere)
