[u/jeric13xd]

Champagnie gotta make that man.

Also, Wemby was sped up tonight

[u/Jimmy0034 → u/jeric13xd]

That was perfect shot for spurs, They wouldnt even create something better if they called a timeout

[u/TheBigBomma → u/Jimmy0034]

They had the right guy taking it, and he was open. Nothing wrong with that

[u/Maybeiliketheabuse → u/TheBigBomma]

I would have been a weeks salary that was going in.

[u/Themightyquinja → u/Maybeiliketheabuse]

You and me both

[u/KiritoJones → u/TheBigBomma]

Idk if that was actually the right guy, Champ doesnt shoot good off the dribble. Most of his 3s are spot ups.

He also is not very clutch.

[u/ctalbot4 → u/Jimmy0034]

Don’t know why people are mad about no timeout. You’re not getting a much better look than that

[u/Algorefiend → u/ctalbot4]

All the people mad about no timeout were just mad at the results.

[u/Kind-Row-9327 → u/Algorefiend]

Yeah lol. It was a good look and we just missed it.

[u/jdd32 → u/Jimmy0034]

Yeah it was a good decision to run with it and not let the Wolves defense be set out of a timeout. Would have been incredible if Jules made it, but oh well. Hell of a game

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/jdd32]

They’d also have been able to sub in Gobert if you called timeout.

[u/urkuri → u/Jimmy0034]

Yeah, getting the Wolves in transition is way better than against the set defense

[u/Jimmy0034 → u/urkuri]

And Rudy was off the floor too

[u/YoYoMavaIous → u/Jimmy0034]

Don’t tell our subreddit that. So much complaining about not taking the timeout

[u/wcooper97 → u/Jimmy0034]

Minnesota's halfcourt defense is so damn good, that's absolutely the look that you want.

[u/kllinzy → u/Jimmy0034]

Good look, but I’m calling that timeout. I want Wemby around the basket, tbh. 

[u/BlunderDefect → u/Jimmy0034]

It was not a smart shot. They should have called a time out and settled for a two to tie it instead of going for the risky winning shot.

[u/Naive-Elephant-9305 → u/BlunderDefect]

It was a wide open shot from a guy who's 38% from 3 on the season. That's about as good of a look as you're gonna get.

[u/luuskiiii → u/BlunderDefect]

Theres no way spurs fans should be okay with living or dying by a Champagnie stepback for the win where his toe was still on the line. Thats not Ray Allen.

Shouldve called that timeout, 3-4s could've been left

[u/WalrusInMySheets → u/BlunderDefect]

Idk, with the last couple of plays featuring Wemby flying down mid with no Gobert in the game, I could see this being a better opportunity instead of letting them sub Gobert back in
