It's not great. And it's my guy Victor Wambayama. He was downright invisible last
night in game 5 in Oklahoma City. Victor Wambayama. Listen, this is not the guy we
expected to see. We expected to see game one Victor Wambayama. Remember when he had 41 and
24? We expected that last night in game five. This was the biggest game of Victor Wambayama's
career to date. OK. Game five is a huge swing game in every series. Memorably, that's when
LeBron James hung 48 on the Detroit Pistons way back when and carried them to the victory.
You know, Game 5 on the road, you gotta show up and I don't know what happened to Victor
Wambayama last night, guys. I'm not gonna sit here and blast the officiating, right? 31 free
throw attempts in the second quarter. Really? Uh, we're not gonna talk about the flopping
from Jared McCain to Caruso. We're not doing the flopping, OK? Unlike a lot of, you know,
folks out there, they, they just wanna ride for their guys and their teams and their
politicians. They refuse to admit when someone makes a mistake. I'm out here to tell you, I am
Mr. Victor Wambayama. Rachel loves him as well . We are huge fans. I believe he's the best
player in the league. He no-showed last night. 4 of 15. Really? Floating around the
three-point line, missing all your 3s, 6 measly rebounds? Listen, some people can call
it, call it like they see it. That's me. That's what I do. I'm a truth teller. I'm not
gonna hold back. Wemiyama was terrible. I, I'm disappointed in him. And then he ducked the
media after the game. Like, Victor, what's going on? I don't know if this was immaturity.
I don't know if this is just, he's disappointed in his play. I don't know if it
was overconfidence. I was unclear what the game plan was. So, on Monday, you know, coming
off the game 4, I came out and I ripped Chet Holmgren. Oh my goodness. It was, you know, OKC
fans were not happy with me. But again, they didn't want to see the reality. Chet Holmgren
had been terrible through 4 games. What did OKC do? They came out, they force-fed Chet
Holmgren in the 1st quarter. They were running plays for him. Like he's an all NBA player. He
had 8 points in the first like 7 minutes. I mean, Chet was finding matchups. He was getting
busy. He had his best game of the series, 16 and 11. Good job, Mark Dagnall. Hey, we see our
guys struggling. Remember, SGA had that great quote about how do we get Chet involved? He's
like, uh, I, I'm not sure. They got Chet involved. Excellent. I called out Alex
Caruso, who's been one of their best players in this postseason. OK. Alex Crusoe had 0
points and 1 field goal attempt in game 4. He bounces back in game 5, was their best player.
22 points, 4 threes, wreaking havoc at the defensive end, all over the glass. Caruso was
unbelievable. They bounced back. I don't have an explanation for what happened to Wemby. I
don't know. There is a, uh, you know, a line of thought, Jay, hey, he's a young guy, you
know. This is his first postseason. Can we, can we cut him some slack? I don't know. How do
you go from 41 and 24 in the opener? To last night I mean, yeah, they wanted to get
Champagne started. He had been in a major funk from 3, and they need him to win this series.
Role players are key as you're seeing with OKC , OK? Jared McCain, Kaysson Wallace, every,
everybody's delivering. So they get Champagne started early. I think he had 13 of their 1st
16 points. But when you're doing that, Wemby wasn't getting touches. Everybody on the court
for the Spurs took a shot before Wemby took, took one. And like, I'm sorry, but that can't
happen. He didn't get on track early, 4 of 15. I get it. You know, Hartenstein's gooning him
up and you got what Chet Holmgren stepping on his foot and yanking his arm. Like they're
doing, they're pulling out all the tricks. And the Spurs take a tough loss. However, It's
not over. I'm not here to tell you it's over. Game 6, I don't know if you guys are watching
the lines. Spurs opened at 2.5, it's up to 3.5 . All the sharp, big money is on San Antonio to
bounce back, zigzag theory, obviously. And then it will come down if they win to game 7.
And that's where, you know, I don't expect Wembiatta to put up a doughnut. Now, SGA is
struggling. We'll talk about him later. I know he ended with a, oh, he scored a lot of points,
Jason. SGA is really struggling. We'll get to him later. I don't think it's over for the
Spurs, but Wemby, you gotta be better, my man.
