OT: NBA Finals Knicks-Spurs. (“I don’t watch the NBA” posts are in another thread.)

Knicks last night, dang. A great win, great usage of Towns at the top of the key. I really didn’t see this (coming back from a 14-point 3rd-quarter deficit) coming. @rudedude @Knickslions69

I’m of the “you’d better beat San Antonio now because they’re going to be monsters in coming years” mindset.

The level of play of the Western Conference series and last night’s game were pretty incredible.

Correct, if they dont pull this series out, the experience will give these young guys some extra drive and they may go on a serious run. Until somebody wants out for a max deal that is....

I watch WEMBY. and think he needs a burger or 20. His legs don’t look like they can support him for too long.

Not sure this is common knowledge: Spike Lee (just turned 13 years old) was at MSG for Game 7 of the 1970 NBA finals.

Likewise. That was a fun team.

Josh Hart, dang. What a professional. Jrue Holiday vibes. Proud he’s from Montgomery County, MD.

KAT barreling down the lane, best way to neutralize Wemby. He'll shoot over smaller defenders.

I was 13 when the Knicks won their last title. I applied for Social Security last week. It’s been awhile

Knicks-Spurs is so much better than anything involving that OKC team. It would have been a disaster for the league for OKC to be in the Finals flopping around like dead fish.

Yeah, flopping is a big part of OKC’s identity. Still, KAT hits the floor ten times a game.

I do think that flopping is out of hand around the league, but OKC took it to another level. I read somewhere that great players historically were trying to make the basket and getting a foul call was not the focus. But OKC is trying to draw the foul, and making the basket is not the focus. It totally changes the aesthetic of the game.
