Because it is my blog, I do get to post what I want. Wholly apart from other content, there is this - and I will be elsewhere for other things at 7:oo CT for the broadcasrt. So, the image of where too much of the specific pundits see things going, per that embedded image of Wembanyama shooting over Gobert within the posted image.

It is a game where talent and height are important, and having neither for the sport, it  nonetheless captures my imagination and pleasure in watching it play out. Wemby is younger and taller, and the Spurs keeping Game 4 close despite his early exit for throwing the elbow in frustration for tight gaurding and double teaming is a thing saying the sports pundits may be correct, Spurs going on to face the Thunder. We in Minnesota hope not, with Edwards having said he told one opponent "If I had my legs you'd have been dunked on."

______________UPDATE____________

The series is now 3 - 2  with the Spurs up. The smart money bet is Conference Final, Wemby vs. Holmgren, each with a talented squad. Regular season they were 1 and 2 in the division.
