well, i don't think he ever has (pretty sure he doesn't drink). i continue to stand up for fox. he had some bad moments, but i think without him they don't get past okc (their younger guards were a mess against that pressure, imo), and he was playing on a pretty serious ankle injury. i don't think he's truly a choker or a low iq guy. it's just the magnifying glass of the finals. wemby had some real bonehead s*** in the finals, too, and nobody says much about it. anyway, the spurs will keep fox, he'll start and they'll win 60+ games again and advance in the playoffs, where i expect he'll play well. if this is a repeat performance, then i'll agree with the talk radio rage that's happening right now, though. welcome back, jsm!
Yeah, I think he has another celebratory vice Injuries don't affect IQ, he had some loud mistakes when the lights got the brightest. He also has a history with one of the league's worst teams and was called out by now the championship HC. I agree, they don't get there without him this year. But i think moving forward, those guards need and earned the minutes. They know what it takes, let them finesse the bumps in the regular season next year while you're still paying them pennies vs value. You can't do both, ask GS. Difference between him and Wemby is 6 years, roughly $34m and that one is already in GOAT discussions pending injuries. Fox could be a top 5 PG until he retires and he's not sniffing that convo. That buys you some goodwill.
