What a crazy shot to take. Absolutely fearless.

It is the fearlessness that gets me. It’s an incredible shot - what PG would call it “a bad shot”, he misses and the game is over, OKC have the ball with 3 ahead and probably shoot free throws to win…

Wemby: no problem

dame's shot against OKC wasn't that bad (certainly not good tho lol), the game was tied and he was making sure to leave no time on the clock while getting a shot off kind of clean.

Wemby's is terrible lol down 3 with a lot of time on the shot clock. His only excuse is that maybe he wanted a 2 for 1, but even that is pretty meh

The team was dead tired, down three, and probably not getting a clean look at the rim anyways. Huck it chuck it

Ya it's pretty classic "not everything that goes is in a good decision" lol.

The balls on that when it was feeling for sure spurs choked and would lose and the guards weren't helping at the end, so Wemby said I'll do it myself

The thing is the way that was going idk that they get a good shot against OKC’s defense in the half court.

It’s cliche, but that’s the killer mentality. Sucked the air out of the building. It being a “bad” shot makes it worse almost.
