Here’s the most terrifying thing:

IDK if I've seen a worse performance from an All-NBA player in the playoffs than Chet in this series.

He's been playing this whole series like he's already been defeated

Pretty incredible to watch this @spurs team grow up right in front of our eyes. They finished 14th in the West last season and now they’re headed to the NBA Finals less than a year later.

Wemby or Knicks championship is an objectively amazing outcome for the NBA
